A couple of months ago our local Yankee Candle store moved premises and as they had introductory offers on in the new store and I was running low on Yankee candle tarts I decided to treat myself to a few new ones. The tarts are usually £1.15 each in our local shop which is about the normal selling price although you can sometimes pick them up cheaper online however buying them online means you aren't able to smell them of course, I personally do prefer to smell them and enjoy smelling all the different fragrances and making my selection. Yankee candle was born in 1969 when Mike Kittredge was trying to make his mother a gift and so he tried to melt down some ...  Read the complete review

As I mentioned in a previous review, I recently acquired lots of new Yankee Candle wax tarts as gifts from both my sister and husband. The latest one I have been using is 'Turquoise Sky'.

I'm a huge fan of scented candles and as a result, I spend far too much money on my favourite brand, namely Yankee Candle. I've been purchasing their products for well over ten years, as the majority offer an authentic aroma due to their inclusion of pure, natural extracts, in addition to them offering superb longevity. Whilst browsing on the website of a Yankee Candle stockist a couple of months ago, I came across Turquoise Sky, which was introduced earlier this year. It was the eye-catching deep colour of blue that captured my attention together with the product description of "calm, salty air with hints of sea grass and musk, float gently on ocean waves ... ...  Read the complete review
