Fall Candles!

A recent trip to Bath and Body Works has caused me to go a little bit candle crazy.





Pumpkin Caramel Latte:
This is the candle I am currently burning and I LOVE it. Out of all the pumpkin candles that they had at B&BW, this is the only one I liked. Shocking because I am obsessed with pumpkin.
The scent of this fills my room in a matter of minutes, due to the triple wicks, and I smells just like the name. This is a very sweet smelling candle which smells like a Caramel Latte from Starbucks with just the right amount of pumpkin, but it is definitely there.



These are the other candles that I purchased, but haven't yet to burn them.

Flannel: A very musky scent which smells of a mixture of cologne and a Christmas tree. I was weirded out that I actually loved the smell of this, but I do think I will save it for the colder months.

Marshmallow Fireside: This candle smells sweet and sugary, like a marshmallow, but also smells like a crackling fire on a cold night. I was so close to getting the Summertime S'Mores candle but I love the scent of this one a lot better. It smells less like burnt wood and more like a marshmallow.

Autumn
: The scent of this is very much like a crisp apple leaves falling. If you were to go apple picking, this is what that smells like. Spot on.

Leaves: This candle is more spicy and smells like cinnamon, a little twinge of apples and also a cool fall afternoon. This candle is pretty popular and I've heard so many people talk about it, but now I can see why.

Bath Time!

Although I don't have much time to relax, I decided to unwind today with a calming bubble bath. Here's a few of my bath time essentials. 


First, to set the ambiance and create a sweet aroma.


Cotton Candy Soy Candle
This cotton candy soy candle that I found at  Target for around $10. This has a really light, but sweet fragrance that sends a hint of sugar into your nose. 
Next, to make the bubbles.


Philosophy Orange Pineapple Smoothie
This sweet and tangy citrus smelling shampoo, shower gel, and bubble bath, is perfect for the bath. It cleanses your body and creates a frothy layer of bubbles on the surface of the water.

This is actually discontinued but there are so many other Philosophy washes to choose from.
Sephora

To wash my face... 
I first mix the two cleansers on the Clarisonic and scrub them on my face for a full cycle. I leave this on for about three minutes and then rinse it off. 
I then rub the masque on my face and leave it on for the remainder of the bath.

Clarisonic PLUS
$225 - Clarisonic
This deep cleansing scrub brush cleans deep inside of your pores and gets ALL the dirt an oil out. This is also feels so relaxing on your skin. 

Dermalogica Clean Start Wash Off
This facial wash is very potent and works especially well for younger skin. This takes away so much oil from your face you can feel the difference after just one wash.

Dermalogica recently revamped the line and is now called "Clear Start" the equivalent to the product is the "Foaming Wash".
$19 - Dermalogica

Dermalogica Medibac Clearing Skin Wash
$35 - Dermalogica
This wash is better for more mature skin than the previous. It contains two types of acids to clear breakouts and kill bacteria that may be lingering on the skin. This helps to stop breakouts before they start.

Dermalogica Medibac Sebum Clearing Masque
$45 - Dermalogica
This clay mask detoxifies skin and has the most amazing cooling affect. My skin feels fresh, clean, and cool while wearing this. 


To treat the hair...
Once my hair is shampooed, I run this through my hair, excluding the roots, and put my hair up into a top knot. I leave this until the very end of my bath and then rinse it out. 
Organix Ever Straight Brazilian Keratin Therapy Hydrating Keratin Masque
$7.99 - Ulta
This masque hydrates and replenishes damaged hair and smells like coconuts. This also helps to reduce frizz, makes hair sleeker, and less puffy. 

To get out and dry off...
After relaxing with a good book, I got out of the bath to prevent turning into a human prune. I quickly dried off with a towel then put on this cute yellow bathrobe.  
Juicy Couture Velour Robe
Juicy Couture
I got this robe on super sale at the Juicy Couture outlet I think i paid somewhere between $30 and $40 for it which is a great price. This robe is soft and I know it will last me a long time.
