It’s snowing…again…cannot wait until Springtime! I got a sense of spring as Yankee Candle sent me a few of their new 2015 fragrances! So at least I can add a bit of spring in the air inside my home.

In case you didn’t know, The Yankee Candle Company, Inc. is the world’s largest manufacturer of premium scented candles, and they have retail stores just about everywhere (more than 500 retail stores) you can also go online.

There are five new fragrances from the classic jar collection including the following:

Red Raspberry – Tangy sweet and full of nature’s goodness … there is nothing quite as delicious as ripe, rosy red raspberries.

Picnic in the Park – Warm and sunny … like an afternoon daydream stretched out on a soft blanket under a shade tree.

Blue Summer Sky – Under a bright blue sky … breathe the clean, earthy, airy scent of a heavenly summer day.

Peach Cobbler – Peaches, from the farmer’s market, perfectly baked with cinnamon and honey sugar.

Wild Sea Grass – Kissed by the ocean breeze, the green scent of dewy sea grass atop the sand dunes.

Also new are five new fragrances from the Pure Radiance collection including:

Pearlescent – Sophisticated pleasure … there’s a shimmery glow of elegance in this lovely, powdery floral bouquet.

Whisper – Heavenly sweet and luxurious, this perfume captivates the senses with its quietly enticing beauty.

Escape– Get away anytime with this perfect blend of refreshing beach air and a delicious tropical drink.

Paradise– Bask in a gentle, relaxing island breeze filled with the alluring scent of native fruit blossoms.

Meadow – Wonderfully carefree and playful … a clean, fresh scent filled with green fields, golden sunshine and blue skies.

We love love the freshness of Red Raspberry so sweet! Also, given that we just handed out over 90 boxes of Girl Scout cookies it nice to have a reminder of our favorite cookie now in the form of a candle. The Yankee Candle Company also launched the Girl Scout Cookies Candle Collection with 4 scents including Thin Mints, Trefoils, Chocolate Peanut Butter and our favorite Coconut Caramel Stripes.  Buy one and have the wonderful reminder of your favorite girl scout cookie!

We have a few family trips planned for the next 6 months including NYC, Disney and New Hampshire. With four of us, that is a lot of luggage and especially with an overnight trip you don’t want to pack too much and you want it to be organized. I also tend to leave everything in my suitcase so that is why I love this overnight bag from Laurie Greiner @QVC.  The weekend bag with snap in toiletry case is from the shark tank beauty. side note – she IS smart, successful and beautiful!. My kids and I just love shark tank! What I love about this must have travel bag is the size as it’s perfect for short trips. When my husband saw it he even said he is going to take it on business trips so I am glad they sent me the black one! It also has multi-directional wheels so it is so easy to move through the airport. The additional features include: a clear cosmetics organizer, mobile device pocket and telescoping handle.

She does have some other neat travel items. Check out all the travel items on QVC as well as the beauty travel items. Most brands have some great sets, like this one from WEN. The WEN ultimate cleanse and style travel gift set has everything from the line that you will need in mini sizes. I especially think the packets of the cleansing conditioner are great as they take up less space in your bag! This kit includes the styling cream, the mousse, the replenishing treatment mist, treatment oil, glossing serum and a travel pouch. Also, if you have not tried this line before this kit is the best way to try out the products.

Happy Travels!
