Yankee candle - Rice milk and honey

When I saw new spring editions to Elevation collections on Instagram, I was so excited and just had to try it as soon as possible. Three days later I manage to get to Yankee store (which is like 110km away), asked for novelties and a few seconds later I bought my new rice milk and honey candle. My expectations were high; I thought it would smell like Kenzo Amour fragrance if you’re familiar with it. Instead it took in a bit different and more gourmand turn. This candle to me smells like milky  vanilla cream. I don’t get specific honey or rice note... At the beginning is comforting, creamy and very pleasant. Anyway after some time, there’s a problem - at least for me. Candle starts smelling like burning vanilla pudding. Initial brightness goes away and some kind of burning or smoky note appears along. Such a shame! Am I too sensitive? Maybe you’ll enjoy it more than I do; maybe it will smell better to you. So don’t give up of giving it a chance and try it. ...

Book review: Andrea Barber - Full Circle

In my childhood Full house was my favorite sitcom along with Fresh prince of Bel Air and Family matters. I really enjoyed watching one of these shows every afternoon. One episode doesn’t take you much time, unless you’re binge-watching. Content is often funny, relatable, relaxing and doesn’t require much thinking. I’m always happy when I accidently catch a re-run, it always brings back happy memories. I was excited when I saw the announcement on YouTube that another cast member of Full House will publish her book. Andrea Barber who played goofy and often special next door neighbor with specific clothing style decided to write her biography. She was never my favorite, I preferred DJ and Stephanie, but I always admired her confidence. I mean nothing can break Kimmy Gibbler! Sadly in reality this is not completely true. Andrea went through some very tough time in her life. Being a child actor was not easy. Kids in school didn’t like her that much and she was often being b...

Another collage of beautiful things

I know, it’s almost mid-February and my blog is still ˝resting˝. I felt guilt and laziness, so I decided to finally get myself into work mode. Today I’m presenting you beautiful things that recently caught my eye. Some of them I’m actually planning to buy eventually, some are just for looking. Let’s start with books and Brexit and I’m not joking. My favourite online bookstore is Bookdepository, based in England. By the end of this year, you can still buy books by great prices and with free worldwide shipping, but this might change. We don’t know what will happen, but if you do have a wish list, maybe you should place your orders in future months, just to be sure. I have three books on my list: 1. Maybe you should talk to someone – Lori Gottlieb . Lori tells us a story about how is to be a psychiatrist and how does it look like when a doctor itself needs a help. This was a very brief description. 2. Brother and sister – Diane Keaton . Famous actress writes about her childho...
