Is anybody else over winter? It is in the 20’s in Boston right now and I am ready for walks along the waterfront, dining al fresco, reading at the park, and getting fresh air for longer then just rushing to get from point a to point b. Just so you know there are 40 days until the official first day of spring! Yippeeee!
Anyways you know what makes me feel slightly better? Cozy sweat pants, slippers, my comfy couch, cheesy movies, and soothing candles!
This Yankee Candle “Ocean Star” offers such a light, fresh scent and I love the shade of blue. According to Yankee Candle, it features “sun-kissed waters laced with aloe, citrus and lotus blossom.” Sounds good to me! What I love about their candles are they make a great addition to your home decor, perfect gifts for the hostess of a party, thank you or birthday gifts, Valentine’s Day or holiday presents…the list goes on! And they come in all shapes and sizes nowadays. Good news – Yankee Candle has a candle for you too!
One lucky winner will also get this candle, which is from the Exotic Escapes collection!
