VANILLA BEAN CANDLE


THE TREASURY OF CANDLES!
-
Vanilla Bean Scented 
+
 Jewellery Hidden Inside!

Time to get your romance on - it's Valentine's Day tomorrow!! If you've been following my Instagram
you may have noticed my love theme going on over there giving you a few ideas to get your prepped
and ready for the day of love. 

Today I am just bursting to tell you all about this romantic aromatic glorious soy wax scented candle 
which is packaged like luxury in this sturdy black box presented complete with an organza coloured 
ribbon and  neat little bow on the top. There are 11 different scents to choose from at The Treasury Of
 Candles and each is presented with a different coloured ribbon. 

Scents available are - Vanilla Bean / French Pear / Maple Syrup & Pumpkin Waffle / Lemon Vanilla
Cupcake / Lychee & Black Tea / Spiced Fruits / Blueberry Muffin / Warm Woods & Bonfire Nights /
Clean Cotton & Honeysuckle / Exotic Lychee / Chocolate Orange Truffle.


As I am a bit of a vanilla nut, of course I was drawn to choose the Vanilla Bean scented candle and my
goodness does it smell like a vanilla lovers dream!

Housed in a tall white recyclable glass with shiny gold lid. It really is a beauty! These Treasury candles
 have a super long burn time of up to 80 hours! That's at least 8 bubble baths long! ;)


Now for the fun part! What makes this candle so unique is that there is a hidden treasure inside!
In each candle there is a ring valued from between $25 - $7,500! 

Impatient as anything I lit my candle and waited for what seemed like forever until I finally saw 
something silver poking up from underneath the melted wax. Ok, so I only wait about an hour until I
saw something, grabbed my tweezers and started tugging and digging to get it out!


Low and behold as you can see in the image below, the ring is securely wrapped inside a snap tight 
clear plastic bag and then wrapped agin in some foil.

The tag on my ring says it is a size 7 which I guess is the average size for most people. However it is a
bit big for me and fits most comfortably on my pointer finger next to my thumb. 

It is a lovely ring with 5 emerald green gems set in silver and according to The Treasuring Of
Candles website is valued at $79!


So if you're interested in treating yourself, a friend or someone you love this Valentine's Day why not 
get them something a little different, unique, smells great creates a romantic atmosphere and well -
Jewellery!

 Each candle is $59.95 each with FREE SHIPPING!

Also available which you can purchase directly from their website is their handy little gold plated 
Candle Snuffer and Wick Trimmer at $24.95 each.

Have you tried these types of candles before?
What are your thoughts on finding a hidden treasure inside?

STOCKING FILLERS


12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS

STOCKING FILLERS


Glammar Tangle Tie Packs of 3!
The evolution of hair elastics has evolved and now we have these colourful plastic kind. They are
great because they are snag free and don't leave that annoying hair elastic kink once you take you
hair out. They come in packs of 3 in a great range of colours including pink, white, blue, orange,
yellow, brown, clear and turquoise. SHOP! - $2.00

 Real Techniques x6 Miracle Makeup Sponge Pack!
I already mentioned these in my Teen Gift Guide article which you can read over here. I think they
also fit perfectly well into this category as stocking fillers because they're that good stocking kind of
size and easy to wrap shape. This is also one of those gifts that most women would love but not
necessarily have in their collection of makeup tools. These are so versatile and will have you
applying your makeup like a pro in no time! SHOP! - $49.99

Glammar Tangle Tonic Hair Brush!
Forget your regular hair brush, 2016 has been all about detangling hair brushes as well as all sorts of
different types for different hair reasons which you can read up on in my article over here. :)

This metallic Tangle Tonic is so on trend in terms of it's appearance and will have your Christmas
morning hair looking smooth and sleek in no time and not like you've been up half the night 
wrapping up last minute gifts or stuffing Santa sacks at 3am because the kids have finally given up
waiting to see Santa and have finally fallen asleep! ;) SHOP! - $5.95

Glammar Tangle Tonic Brush in Rose Gold

Gilded Cage Beauty Makeup Products!
This brand is new to me and already I am impressed! These two products alone are the perfect
Christmas treat! First of all you can never go wrong with a classic red on Christmas day and this one
is simply gorgeous with just the right amount of moisture and pigment. It has an orange under tone to
it which compliments my olive skin really nicely.

Then we move onto the liquid shimmer eyeshadow! Omg, so pretty and perfect for that inner 
highlight! Unlike a lot of products I have used like this, this one does not budge once you apply it! It's
staying power is very impressive and dab and blend a tiny bit to your cheek bones and Santa has no
excuse not to see you from his sleigh! SHOP! - Lipstick $30.00 Eyeshadow $28.50

Unleashed Lipstick in 117 True Orange & Revelation Eyeshadow in 25 Sheer Platinum

OPI Mini Packs!
There are a few reasons I love mini nail packs. Not only do they make great gifts and are a great
quality nail polish. The mini bottles mean you can try a few shades and then go out and purchase the
full size if you find one you really like! These are also perfect stocking stuffer size or why not open
them up and pop a few in singly into your friends & family's stockings! SHOP! - $24.95


BotanicES (Eye Creme/Body Creme/Face Creme) Gift Trio!
I am quite a strong believer in this brand and have reviewed their range before. The main there are 
a few main reasons for this and the main one being how effective their products really are. I thank
the fairy gods everyday for my morning coffee because without it I'd surely be even more of a mess
than I already am! My life is so busy between two young kids, working from home and helping out
with my husband's business sleep isn't something I get a whole lot of!

Anyway! Caffeine in these skincare products are also super effective at keeping the skin looking 
nice and youthful, strong and healthy! In addition to that these are Aussie made and owned, cruelty
free and do not contain any nasty harmful ingredients! Newly available at Priceline! :) 


Harvest Garden Natural Australian Beauty Products!
I am honestly not that fussy when it comes to beauty products, however it's hard to ignore a brand
as beautiful as this which is all Aussie, all natural and all things just GOOD! 

I have reviewed some of their other products here & here. They have the most amazing soaps, soaks
and skincare products which all smell absolutely beautiful, I cannot even tell you! I highly 
recommend picking up a sample pack of their soaps to try out and them purchase a full size of the 
ones you fall in love with. (Warning there is going to be more than one!) You can get a good range to

SHOP! - Hard Lotion Bar $20.00 & Beeswax Candles (Not currently available on their website, 
however you can check one of their stockists closest to you!)

Hard Lotion Bar w/Rose Geranium & Patchouli & Hand Rolled Pillar Candles

Tinka The Label Jewellery!
Another great gift idea, stocking filler or gift idea you can rarely ever wrong is with some fun and
sparkly jewellery! These bracelets from Tinka The Label are from an Aussie brand from Melbourne
with a range of fashionable, bohemian and even up cycled pieces that will inspire and transfix you
with their sheer beauty and charm. SHOP! - $50.00

Stars In Their Eyes Collection in Pink & Blue (Also available in colours white or grey)

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Dry Body Oil!
This product has been on my wish list for almost a year and when I finally saw it whilst browsing the
Beautorium window shopping over on Beautyheaven a few months ago I just knew where I was
going to be spending all of my hard earned points! ;)

This product is so pretty!! Can be used on the face, body and hair to a touch of shimmer whilst it
nourishes, hydrates and softens the skin and smooths the hair without leaving that greasy residue.
Contains Vitamin E and 6 precious plant oils! SHOP! - $29.95

Curious Grace Ceramic Tube Hair Brush!
This hair brush is great for everyone because weather you're looking for volume or prefer that super
straight look (like moi right here!) then this brush can create you either of these results!

Best used with your heat styling products as it is heat resistant and with it's ceramic tube will style
your hair all shiny and smooth and frizz free quicker than Santa can squeeze down the chimney!

SHOP! - $26.95

Weleda Evening Primrose Age Revitalising Hand Cream
If you have a grandma, aunty, mum or older sister who's stocking needs filling then something like
this Weleda Hand Cream is a lovely little gift! Even as something in their 30's I use this on my pre-
mature skin and find it works really well and is also a great ageing preventative!

The evening primrose scent is super relaxing and smells gorgeous! A great trick if your skin is
especially dry or you are concerned about it's ageing appearance is to mix a good thick hand cream
such as this with your favourite natural essential oil for an extra boost of hydration to keep the skin's
elasticity and strength. Some of my favourite oils are by Vanessa Megan, Sanctuary Spa and Sukin!

SHOP! - $17.95

Taylor Swift 'Wonderstruck' Perfume!
Perfume of any kind is always an appreciated gift to receive. It is especially awesome when it is a
scent you have been lusting for or an old favourite. As kids I remember my sister and I always
bought my mum Elizabeth Arden's 'Beautiful' which she always loved. 

The perfume pictured below is one of my favourites at the moment. I do love a lot of scents,
and my opinion and favourite change all the time! I am also a complete sucker for a cool looking
bottle and this one for me wins hands down! Shimmer and cute little trinkets get me good!

GIFTS FOR TEENS


CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE

Gifts For The Teen Girl!

Revo Twist Lip Balm
These mini stocking fillers are sure to please! With four delicious flavours to choose from or collect,
everyone is going to be wanting one of these in their stockings ready for school next year!

These balms are super hydrating with natural oils and ingredients like Vitamin E, Aloe and
antioxidants. They are not just a pretty face!

Other flavours you can try include -
Watermelon
Cherry
Coconut

Available to purchase from Chemcorp online for current RRP $4.99 each.

Real Techniques Miracle Makeup Sponge Gift Set
Call me old but when I was a teen, I barely every wore makeup! Ok, so I did experiment with
mascara, lip gloss, blue eye shadow and glitter. But that's about as far as it went and never did I
ever pack it on like you see teenagers do as the complete norm these days. Don't get me wrong I
really don't have a problem with this evolution. I love makeup and have always seen it as a fun way
of expressing one's creativity. I just wonder how it's gonna go down when my 5yr old suddenly turns
13 and is sporting sexy red lipstick, heavy foundation she doesn't need and fake lashes.... We will see!

ANYWAY, these sponges are a great starting point and a good staple to gift your teen buddies, as
they're a fantastic stash to have on hand for the makeup beginner as you can easily perfect and master
all kinds of tips and tricks to get your makeup on point and looking neat and fresh! Find out more in
my full review here!

Available to purchase from Priceline for current RRP $49.99

Eco Tools Boho Luxe Duo Brush Set
Like sponges, makeup brushes are also very handy for makeup beginners to have because we pretty
much all own a set or two and if your beauty loving friend, sister, daughter, niece, etc doesn't own her
own set yet, then these are a great first set to get!

As you can see there is a handy little pouch to store them in. You get three duel ended brushes so you
have all you need for your everyday kit! EcoTools are a fantastic brand I truly recommend. You can


Oribe Dry Texturising Spray & Oribe Wave and Shine Spray
Give them a head start for the new school year with these cute minis from Oribe. It will have any
teen's unruly hair under control in just a few minutes, which is all most of them can manage that
early!

These are perfect 'throw in your bag' size for touch ups throughout the day. They also smell great and
are a pro at taming those pesky fly away in this Summer heat!

The Dry Texturising Spray will absorb all of that teenage excess hair oil and add dimension to flat
lifeless hair. The Wave and Shine spray pretty much speaks for itself, smoothing waves into silky
curves.

Shop the Oribe haircare range online here!

Body Fantasies Signature Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Spray
Perfumes seem to always be a popular gift at Christmas time however can be quite costly and at times
inappropriate for some young teens. Body sprays are a much more budget friendly and age
appropriate option.  ($7.99 each!)

These Body Fantasies come in a range of scents and make for the perfect size
stocking stuffers or to add to beauty gift baskets!

Other scents in the range include -
Vanilla
Twilight Mist
Kissing In The Rain
Sweet Pea
Pink Vanilla Kiss Fantasy

Available to purchase from Chemcorp online for current RRP $7.99 each.

VS Sassoon Evoke Hair Dryer or Straightener
Do you know a teen growing up in the blink of an eye and needs their own set of hair tools so they
stop borrowing yours? This pink set is super girlie and cute! Not only that VS Sassoon make very
good quality dryers and straighteners which last for years and always come with a decent warranty.

To find out more be sure to check out my full review on this hair care set here!

This is my own personal set I use pretty much daily and hasn't failed me yet! The storage pouch it
comes with is also very handy to store the straightener in for traveling and just general storage.

ESJ


ESJ Skincare 
Lady Gorgeous Review!


When it comes to skincare, being a girlie girl at heart I can't deny I am always drawn in by pretty
appealing packaging. Like this luxurious set by ESJ Skincare, there is no denying the presentation
of these products is second to none. Definitely something very special!

This sweet pink sturdy box keeps your womanly bottles safe and secure after purchase, or in
the post if shopping online or gifting to a friend. The rose petals and personalised note are a special
personal added touch that tells me this company goes above and beyond for their customers. This
product duo is the perfect pick for any woman!


To clarify these bottles are x1 Body Cleanser and x1 Body Moisturiser! Upon first glance I was sure
this was a perfume set! By far the most beautiful and luxe cleanser and moisturiser duo I have ever
owned or used! I am feeling very special indeed when using these lightly fragranced products!

Some of my favourite ingredients include -  Ylang Ylang Flower Oil, Macadamia Nut Seed Oil, 
Sweet Almond Oil, Blood Orange Oil, Shea Butter, Lemon Peel Oil and Kakadu Plum Fruit Extract.
These products are 79% (Cleanser) and 84% (Moisturiser) organic ingredients!


ESJ Skincare also offer a version of products for the men in our lives. Think deep navy sexy abs man
bottles. *sigh* Definitely something I know my hubby would LOVE! I am going to have to keep this
in mind for one of his Christmas pressies this year! Make sure you take a look at 'The Gentleman'
over on the ESJ website!


Each collection retails for $89.00 and can be purchased safe and securely directly from ESJ's website.
Are you into luxurious skincare or tend to stick to the basic budget buys?

MOTHERS DAY GIFT GUIDE


~  MOTHER'S DAY  ~

GIFT GUIDE

2015!


1.) Estee Lauder Gift Bag!
I recommend picking up her favourite perfume and if it happens to be one by Estee Lauder you can
pick up this special Mother's Day gift bag for just $75 with any fragrance purchase! Contents of the
bag equal more than $160!

2.) Forever New Leopard Print Scarf!
With the weather becoming increasinly chilly of late, why not pick her up a fashionable scarf like
this one. I hear animal print is still popular with the grown ups! ;)

3.) Let's Kiss & Make-Up Cosmetic Bag!
There are endless different designs of make-up bags you can pick up just about anywhere really
cheap. If you know your mum well or even if you don't take a quick peek into her stash and pick up
a few of her regulars as back ups for her and pop them into a brand new stylish make-up bag for her!

4.) Peter Alexander Dressing Gown!
It's always nice to invest in a new dressing gown every few years. Show mum how much you
appreciate her by getting her a glam one like this from Peter Alexander which is also super comfy
and handy with the large pockets for phones and midnight snacks! ;)

5.) Peter Alexander Fancy Bow Couture Slippers!
 Cute slippers are a must have to wear around the house and Peter Alexander have a super adorable
range to choose from. Make her feel a bit spesh by picking up a glam pair like these with embelished
bows!

6.) Hudson Park Bed Sheets!
There is nothing like new clean fresh sheets on the bed, am I right ladies?! How many years has
your mum been sleeping on the same set of worn out sheets? Do her a favour and make her bed with
a new set if you can sneak in to do it without her knowing. Then wait for her to thank you the next
day after she's discovered and slept in them the night before!

7.) Moeve Bath Towels!
I find bath towels ware out quickly. Refresh you mum's linen cuboard with some fresh new good
quality bath towel sets and throw away the old ones. I bet she'll be delighted when she opens up the
linen doors to find brand new, neatly folded, new fresh towels all neatly folden and laid out ready for
her to use! Surprise! :)

8.) Royal Albert Friendship Tea Caddy!
 How fancy is this feminine tea storage pot from Royal Albert? Treat mum to one of these and fill
it with her favourite tea bags or coffee pods. If she's not into either of those, her fav candy is a sure
winner!

9.) D.L & Co Soy Candle in Glass Vessel!
Candles are always a nice treat! Spash out one a fancy one for her which matches in with her
style and decor. Just make sure it's in a scent she loves and won't tire of!

10.) Royal Albert Friendship Tea Cup & Saucer!
Almost all mum's like to either unwind with a nice hot cup of tea or coffee. Treat her to one of
these ulta precious Royal Albert sets to make her feel like a queen.

11.) Mes Homewares Mother Of Pearl Photo Frame!
Like with the fancy candle, if you're going to get her a photo frame with a happy snap of you
both inside. Make sure to match if to her taste, colour scheme and decor. She is sure to love it!

12.) Kaz Horizon Blue Cushion!
You can never have too many cushions! Add a couple to her couch or bed to her taste. Textures
and different shapes are fun for the bed and fun colours are an affordable fun way to dress up a tired
or outdated couch!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

SWAROVSKI


~ S W A R O V S K I ~

Luxe Gifts For Her...!


In case you didn't know, I have the most amazing husband in the world who knows how much
I adore the Swarovski brand. So after my regular must have look in their store and drooling for a bit
I was off to do some damage at a few other stores I was eager to get to and could actually spend
money at! So being a typical guy, it didn't surprise me when he told me to go ahead and that he
 would catch up with me soon. Bless him, taking the kiddly winks and giving me some much
needed alone time to shop! (By the way, this is a very rare occurrence!)

Upon meeting up again of course he was all casual and said nothing as my jaw hit the floor
when I saw the navy blue and shiny silver Swarovski bag hanging so calmly off the pram!

Far out, this man knows how to score mega points!
Merry Christmas to me!

Baron Earrings
RRP: $219.00

Baron Bracelet
RRP: $349.00

The Barron Collection also contains an amazing necklace, however to avoid being too
OTT, these two (well actually 3 pieces as there are two earrings and one bracelet but
let's not get all techie here!) pieces will do me just fine! :)
