COLLEGE FRAGRANCES | WINTER 2016

Hey guys! I realized that I haven't really shared any of the fragrances that I own and love. I had quite a lot, but I only bring a few at a time to college based on the season and what I am currently loving at the moment.

Since it won't get really warm in Chicago until later, some of these fragrances will also carry on until the end of the semester.

For this winter season, I decided to bring warm fragrances, some a little older so I can finally use them up. The 2 fragrances on the ends, Secret Wonderland and Twilight Woods from Bath and Body Works have been in my collection for so long that they don't even have the latest packaging.

I forgot how much I loved these scents, especially Secret Wonderland. It's a warm, almost vanilla smell that I love. 

I used to love Twilight Woods a long time ago because I was obsessed with the body lotion. Twilight Woods is definitely more woodsy, as the name suggests. It also has a little bit of a manly, musky smell to it. 

I also brought Victoria Secret PINK's Warm & Cozy, which I also have in the old square packaging. I decided that I would finally use it up because I love it so much. When I came back to college, my friend actually gave me another one of these bottles for Christmas, so now I have 2 bottles of this scent. PINK describes it as "Toasted Vanilla and Peony". As you can already tell I love Vanilla scents a lot. This one is sometimes a tad too warm for me, so I don't wear as often.

Last but not least is Victor & Rolf Flower bomb, which I got for my 16th birthday over 2 years ago. I remember being absolutely obsessed with it when I was 16, but now I'm not as fond of it anymore. I feel like it has a little bit of a very sour perfume-y smell to it. I thought maybe it was just my bottle was old, but I smelt the one in Sephora and it smelt the same. I think my nose just prefers different scents now. I still love this smell when I'm going out at night. I think it is my most sensual smell out of these 4 fragrances.

CURRENT CANDLE COLLECTION | AUGUST 2015

Hey guys! Today's post is all about candles! I loooveee candles! My absolute favorite candles are winter candles because they smell the best, so cozy and warm! I also love to light a candle when it's cold outside, curl up in bed, and watch Netflix or work on my blog. 

You must wonder... "Casey, if you loooveee candles so much then why don't you have more?" Well, because candles are freaking expensive. I like to get my candles from Bath&Body Works, but even Yankee Candle is very expensive. At least for a broke teenager. I also am not allowed to have candles in my dorm in college (I'm still so upset!), so I have to use what I have first before I buy more. 

I don't buy candles very often, but when I do I buy them on sale. I love the Bath&Body Works 2 for $22 (or something like that!) sale on 3-wick candles. 

I also love getting a few of the mini candles to test out a scent before I commit and buy a 3-wick. Other times, there are some candles I smell in the store that I don't even need to think twice about buying so I just get the full size.

If you are nosy like me and love seeing people's collections, here is my current candle collection.

I bought these candles wayyy back in the day, about 7 years ago. I honestly don't even know why I haven't burned them yet. They are AMAZING Fall candles.

I loovee my mini candles!
Leaves, Marshmallow Fireside, Lakeside, Eucalyptus Mint (so fresh! one of my faves!)

Lilac Blossom. These were a gift from my friend Erica.  

My most recent purchases. Endless Weekend. Smile (Pink Lemonade Punch) and Island Tiare Flower. 

I hope you enjoyed this look into my candle obsession. If you have any candle recommendations, please leave them below! And don't forget to follow me on Bloglovin' so you don't miss another post!
