It's really no secret I'm a sucker for Bath & Body Works lemon scented candles so of course I had to pick up Sugared Lemonade just to see how it would stack up against other lemon scents.
Fresh Lemon Juice, Sugar Crystals and Crushed Ice.
Not sure what Crushed Ice is suppose to smell like. But nah didn't detect that one in this candle. The lemon wasn't as strong as I expected it would be and stacked up against the other B&BW lemon candles I did like this one enough to buy another one. I low key expected this to smell almost like lemonade but that might had been a bit unrealistic. While the lemon isn't as strong as I'd like it to be, it's still a really nice soft citrus scent. If you're into that or aromatherapy with citrus scents then yeah 4/5 would recommend.
It's no secret that I love scents that just scream Spring Refresh to me, especially since I'm not a huge fan of Winter to begin with and this one was a perfect balance of being in-between seasons.
Hoping to pick this one up again if they ever re-release it in the future!
Did you pick this one up?
Bath & Body Works Toasted Coconut Mocha candle released last Fall and I know, I'm just now reviewing it! It doesn't feel like it should had been a Fall scent (I guess it was the Coconut part that confused me).
The scent notes include:Steamed Milk Latte, Toasted Coconut Shavings, Mini Marshmallows
The scent notes include:
Steamed Milk Latte, Toasted Coconut Shavings, Mini MarshmallowsOn cold sniff this does smell like a balanced fragrance of mocha and coconut. It's like the most welcoming morning coffee scent. It sort of reminds me of the Coconut Mocha Frapp they use to have at Starbucks every summer (whatever happened to that? It was my favorite drink ever)!
When lit it smells a bit more like mocha but also almost like chocolate. The coconut scent gets completely lost! I know the scent's to these candles tends to change the more you blow them out and the farther they burn, so I'm holding out hope that the coconut comes out at some point!
All in all, I keep this lit in my kitchen and it just gives me all these warm and fuzzy vibes when I walk in! Wish they had made this into a plug in! It makes the perfect kitchen scent, especially if you're a coffee addict like I am.
The scent throw is also really strong for this scent; from the kitchen it hits the living room and I smell it every time I step out of the office and head to the kitchen. I find that a lot of B&BW Mocha type candles have strong scent throws.
Are you into into coffee scents?
Normally I'd be SUPER excited for Spring and Valentine's Day; the splashes of pinks and reds everywhere, the fresh Spring air smell (that you get to enjoy in the 3 second gap between getting out of your car and putting on your mask), the feeling of waking up almost.
Except here in Texas, which I've dubbed hell.
Cause it's frozen over.
As I write this it's 7* outside. It's been in the single digits all day. And there's so much snow on my balcony I can literally build a snowman. We were on a severe winter weather warning from Feb 12th to the 15th. But now they're extending it until Thursday. That's damn near the whole week.
AND I LIVE IN TEXAS.
So there's no joy or refresh feelings here just yet. And it kinda sorta sucks.
Still, I wasn't going to not do anything I could to add a splash of pinks and reds (as if I don't already have enough)!
Did a small Bath & Body Works haul last month (did you know PayPal started a payment plan program? Lort. My bank account); I finally managed to snag a Valentine's Day candle that doesn't smell like roses. I want to say I've had the Bee Positive hand soap scent once and didn't like it enough. And the Be You scent is so soft. So soft it's almost like it isn't even there.
Is anyone else just done with Winter?!
I'm in such a desperate need for a Spring Refresh right about now! Besides Fall Spring and Summer are some of my fav seasons; correction ─ Summer in Florida. Summer in Texas is pretty fun too but Summer in Florida will always be my fav.
Bubba thinks it's too early for me to start jumping around saying yayyyy Sprrrrrrring but I can't help it when stores are starting to roll out all the pinks and reds for Valentine's Day! There's just something about Valentine's Day and VDay decor that always makes me so excited feeling refreshed on the inside!

If you're like me and you missed out on The Sweet Shop Bubblegum candle then you were probably excited to hear that they came back out with it for Easter but only as a mini candle called "Some Bunny Loves You".
The scent notes are;
Pink Sugarcane, Juicy Watermelon, Hint of Vanilla
Which ironically fused together do make a prettyyyy strong bubblegum scent! Crazy, right?!
Oh, well, I thought so lol.
I have the bigger version as you've seen in my previous blog post but I don't want to burn it cause it's the only one I have though I'm SO CURIOUS to know if the bigger one has a better scent throw.
SPEAKING OF.
The scent throw sadly for this small one is pretty... non existent. Which is really sad! On cold sniff it's SO strong. Like I think if I just left it open it might have thrown it better lol! When lit this doesn't smell like anything. I don't know if it's just the first burn that's like that, but I haven't burned it again.
I personally feel like ever since Bath & Body Works stopped working with Slatkin & Co the candles, especially the mini candles don't have a very strong scent throw anymore. This is also true for some of their other 3-wick candles.
I do love the scent of this --- I've been super attracted to Bubblegum and Cotton Candy scents for awhile now, I'm not sure what the reasoning behind this is besides that it seems like a happy scent and everyone could use a bit of happy through their days!
Have you purchased this mini? Were you able to get your hands on a Bubblegum candle?
Spring is one of my favorite times of the year --- besides Fall.
I'm such a sucker for all the pretty shades of pink and all the pastel's and greens. And oh! Easter! Easter candy, Easter decor, Easter vibes... my birthday sometime's falls on Easter and I use to hate it cause everything is closed that day so I didn't really get to go celebrate but it hasn't landed on Easter in a really long while (though I do worry every year lol) so it's all good lol!
There are two times a year I look forward to Williams Sonoma seasonal candy and that's for Easter when they come out with these delicious sour bunnies I've grabbed every year since 2011 (pink is grapefruit, green is key lime and yellow is lemon --- tbh I only like the green ones) and Halloween when they release the sour pumpkins (which I think overall are orange flavored).
