that candle life


Yankee Candles. They smell good but can smell nasty in terms of price. 


Everyone loves a good Yankee Candle or any nice smelling candle. In the UK unfortunately we don't have bath and body works so Yankee Candle's seems like the next best candle to buy! But they are ridiculously expensive! My tip is to stock up whenever there's a sale. In Clintons I saw that Yankee Candles had a 30% off and then a week after a 50% off! So I stocked up on the samplers which only cost 90p (with the 50% off), what a bargain! These were my favorite scents!

I found that the smallest candle in a jar was a bit ridiculous costing just over £8, but I guess it's less ridiculous with a 50% off!

What are your favorite Yankee scents?

that summer life


So its summer and of course you're bored at home doing nothing. So what do you do? And what do you do that doesn't cost you much?

Go to a park! Park's can be so beautiful and of course they're FREE. Some nice parks in London are:

  • Hyde Park
  • Regents Park
  • Hampstead Heath Park
  • Holland Park
  • Kensigton Gardens
  • Richnmond Park
Of course there's always things in the park that might cost you like the ice cream van/shop! As well as the pedlo boats in both Hyde Park and Regents Park! To try and save a couple of coins try going before 12pm as it will cost you cheaper! 

Have a picnic in the park with your friends rather than going out to eat because it will cost you SO much cheaper!

What have you been doing this summer? Saving and having fun? Or spending and having fun?

that chewing gum life


Random post? Yes. Necessary post? Yes.

Gum. We all chew it and have our favourite flavour and brand, mine being extra. But how much do we spend on it? Those 60ps you spend on small packets on gums every other day add up! My tip - don't buy gum from newsagents or train stations, they're a rip off! Instead you can purchase 3 packets of gum in a mulitpack for £1 from poundland, wilkinsons and superdrug. That way you always have a stock of gum and it costs you way cheaper! 

So yes chew gum. Yes get rid of that stinky breath. But do it at a fraction of the price.
