Slatkin & Co. American Boardwalk candles

I am so excited to try the new line of candles from Slatkin & Co. called “American Boardwalk”.  They sound so fun and I love the cute labels on them.  Having grown up and spending almost every summer on the boardwalks of New Jersey, these candles bring back feelings of nostalgia.

They are available online now, and in stores on May 18th.  I ordered two of the candles today (Summer Boardwalk and Root Beer Float) and I cannot wait to get them in the mail.  Here are the scents they are offering and their descriptions:

• Beach Cabana - Relax in the cool shade with sweet jasmine, orange blossom and a hint of musk.

Review of Slatkin & Co. Caribbean Escape

Recently I stopped in at Bath and Body Works for their 2 for $2o Slatkin & Co. candle sale.  I love when their 3 wick candles go on sale, because that is when I like to stock up.  This visit was no different and I actually picked up about 10 different scents that I am currently testing out.

One of my favorites from this Bath & Body Works haul was my first time trying was Caribbean Escape.  I recently was hanging out with my niece and she let my try some of her pocket bac in this scent.  I loved it and decided to give the candle a try.  It is described as: Indulge in a sweet, tropical blend of melon, raspberry nectar and Italian lemon, tempered with creamy coconut milk and raw sugarcane.

I would describe it as sweet and juicy.  I love this one and I’m currently burning it in my kitchen.  I have had no problems with the wicks and would definitely purchase this one again!

Lemon Mint Leaf

I am in love with Slatkin & Co. Lemon Mint Leaf candle right now. I recently purchased about 10 Slatkin & Co. candles on their 2 for $20 sale (you have to love those Bath & Body Works candle sales!) and have been burning them like crazy. Some are hits, and some are misses, but I have to say I am currently loving the heck out of Lemon Mint Leaf.

Lemon Mint Leaf is described as: bright and refreshing – lemon balm and green spearmint blend delightfully with fresh citrus and vetiver.  I would describe it as the perfect Spring scent.  It is light and refreshing with a little sweetness that is perfect for this time of year.  It reminds me of a sweet lemonade with a few sprigs of mint in it.  Clean and fruity and delicious!  I find it to be absolutely wonderful!

Check out Lemon Mint Leaf if you are looking for a light and sweet Spring time scent!

Yankee Lavender Vanilla

So in this video the host talks about what she has been currently burning and what she thinks about the scents. The first candle she reviews is a Yankee candle in Lavender Vanilla. I love the combination of lavender and vanilla; however, the host states the scent is quite light.

Slatkin & Co. Frosted Cupcake

In this video the host talks about her experience and review of the Frosted Cupcake candles.  She states it is very different from last years batch – I cannot confirm or deny that as I did not try this scent last year.  There is also a lot of talk about the label looking “too childish”.  I like the look of the giant frosted cupcake and think it is so cute!  To each their own…

So check out the video below if you’d like to hear the review of Slatkin & Co. Frosted Cupcake:

Yankee Candle Shortbread Cookie

In the video she covers the following scents:

• Shortbread cookie – a very light scent.  Similar to a milk and cookies type scent, however sweeter and similar to a buttery cookie scent.
• Buttercream – just like buttercream frosting.  Homemade, sweet, delicious buttery icing.  I can imagine this one would make me quite hungry!
• Early Sunrise – bright citrus and spa scent.  Like a citrus rind that smells fresh and delicious.
• Cherry Lemonade – one of my favorites!  Smells so delicious, sweet and fresh.
