Keeping my home smelling nice is very important to me and my favourite way to do this is by using scented candles or wax tarts. I love the way an atmosphere can be created depending on the fragrance of scented wax. It can create a bright fresh clean feel to a room or a warm cosy romantic atmosphere. I was lucky enough to have a few Yankee Wax Tarts in my stocking at Christmas, my mum does us all a stocking, and one of them was Sparkling Cinnamon, one I hadn't tried before. Wax Tarts are simple little discs of oily wax without a wick, they measure approximately 6cm's x 1.5cm's and cost round about £1.00 - £1.20 depending on where you buy them from. They have ...  Read the complete review

Yankee Candle is an America company offering a huge selection of candle and home fragrance products. *~*Sparkling Cinnamon*~* Yankee offer a few different Cinnamon based scents including Sparkling Cinnamon, Cinnamon Stick and Cinnamon and Sugar.

It should be placed within a burner and the heat from a tealight will melt the tart and release the scent into the air. Each tart ...  Read the complete review

~~~ History ~~~ Let me tell you a little of the story behind Yankee Candles. Almost 42 years ago a 17 year old boy melted his childhood crayons to make a candle to give to his Mother for Christmas. She was overjoyed and showed a neighbour what he had done. This neighbour asked to buy it and placed orders for further candles and so Yankee Candles was born. Since then, they have expanded into different types of home fragrancing, moving with the times. The range now includes tarts which fragrance the home so much faster, car fragrances, electric plug ins and a recent addition - the reed diffuser. Looking at the website, I see they are branching into ...  Read the complete review

If the word "excessive" could be applied to any company, it has to be Yankee Candle! Not just happy with providing one or two types of cinnamon scented candle under the name of "Cinnamon Stick, " (that previously replaced "Cinnamon,") or "Home Sweet Home," to the best of my knowledge, Yankee Candle have dabbled in just about every field when it comes to this spice. I think I've tried them all, because I just love cinnamon - the taste, the smell and the whole promise of its purposes. I add it to my coffee in powder form; I'd even have cinnamon soap if I could, whilst any sweets on offer around Christmas aren't that far away from ...  Read the complete review

I like to have candles and Melts in the house. Nothing nicer than a nice gentle scent coming through your house. I first was introduced to this brand by my mum. She said they were nice, and the scent lasted a good while. Perhaps they are that bit more expensive than other brands, but I think the quality is good anyway, so I don't mind paying that little bit extra. I tend to stock up on these from the website scentedcandleshop.co.uk. You can also find the brand on amazon and on the Yankee candle Website as well. These sell for around the £1.05 mark, which is what I normally pay for them. They are a solid wax tart which I suppose you can break in a fe ...  Read the complete review
