Yankee Candle ‘Paradise Spice’ sample

Paradise Spice? Well, that name sounds familiar doesn’t it…

I am back with another brilliant Yankee Candle review. This time I will be talking about the ‘Paradise Spice’ candle. For me that name suggests strong summer smells and of course spices. The name lives up to my expectations and it delivers some gorgeous spicy scents to my nostrils. This candle has scents of banana and cinnamon with hints of vanilla that really will make you think you are living in paradise. This candle has the summer smells of banana and vanilla and the spicy scents of cinnamon and clove. For me, this candle has a stronger smell of spice rather than summer fruits so for those who love spicy scents and fragrances, this is the candle for you.

‘Paradise Spice’ is a great summer fragrance although that doesn’t mean you have to wait until then to use it. Use it now to add some summer in to your cold, gloomy winter. It has a lovely warm scent to it that is great for settling down in front of the TV or with a good book before bed (although don’t forget to blow your candle out before you fall asleep).

This candle is a clean light cream colour that is great for brightening up your room and giving it that welcoming look. The people behind ‘Yankee Candle’ are yet to disappoint me! I have not bought a candle I do not like from them yet and this one is no different.

Overall Rating: 4/5

Did you guys go to Starbucks over the festive period and try the Gingerbread Latte Christmas drink? Well I have found the perfect alternative that you can enjoy in the comforts of your own home.

Nescafe Gingerbread Latte has the perfect amount of gingerbread and spice, giving it that really tasty, warming flavour without being too overpowering. No milk needs to be added to this delicious instant coffee; simply put the instant coffee powder in to a mug, add boiling water and stir the mixture until all the lumps have dissolved and then your drink is ready. This is a hassle free latte that you can enjoy even if you have run out of milk (admit it, we’ve all been there).

This mixture includes skimmed milk powder which means even though we add no milk ourselves, the latte will still develop that frothy, light texture we associate so well with lattes. And unlike a lot of instant coffee drinks, this drink has a lot of flavour and does not taste watered down in the slightest.

Each box contains 8 sachets each and best of all this is considered as a low fat latte so you won’t even feel guilty treating yourself to one. This is a limited edition coffee (probably brought out for the Christmas period) so you will have to be quick if you wish to get your hands on a box or two of these delicious lattes.
