Fall 2018: Flowers and Candles to Indulge in this Autumn Season

 With the October behind the window and the summer-like weather outside, it seems like autumn is not going to come. Do you want tiredness and less than a great mood to become your best friend for the next 4 months?
If not, continue reading further, because I have prepared a list of what helps me :)
   As the days go shorter and shorter and the temperature in the house and outside drops, I start burning candles. Their live fire makes me feel happier and warmer just by looking at it.
I also significantly up my visits to the nearby Garden Centers, where I get the bunch of live flowers and bring them home. Their colours and the fact that majority of plants flowers in the warm seasons and climate only makes me happier and reminds me the spring is coming soon and nature is still alive, even though it is cold. It is just not visible to our eye just yet.
Do not forget - the best gifts are flowers and candles for a reason. These are both going to be very appreciated and enjoyed, at the same time - you do not need to look as to which shelf to place your gift on.
These are also suitable to pretty much any type of a friend or acquaintance that you have and any occasion.
In this case, Prestige Flowers company has offered to send me a bouquet from the Haute Florist range.

Knowing my love for fresh flowers and also realizing they are more than happy to accommodate to the fact that I have Pepper, the cat, and some flowers are toxic and dangerous to them - so they replace the lilies, for example, with the equivalent bloom. Of course, I said yes - and the flowers are already making my conservatory beautiful. Its a next day delivery and I got them just after 10am, with the postman.

They are also having the bouquets with double flowering lilies on their website - which have no pollen at all and therefore pet and child-friendly.
It is a monthly subscription and you can choose to subscribe for 3, 6 and 12 months.
Go and have a look at the Prestige Flowers website yourself.

Orion - is the bouquet of the month of October.
If you look at the Orion Nebula, you will understand why florists named it this way.
With the pink and dusky lilac shades, it reminds us of cosines and sweet things, which we naturally allow ourselves more of during the colder seasons :)
Eucalyptus twigs are serving as the accents to the hand-tied bouquet made out of sweet avalanche and memory lane roses, antique carnations, lilac, trumpet calla lilies, and some veronica flowers.
You also get a vase for the bouquet with the first delivery, so you can always be sure you have an appropriate vessel to display them in. As well as the appropriately sized gift bag.
These lovely pink and tiny blooms were opening up more and more every day as the week went by...

And now onto my top 5 candles:
The biggest and the most long-burning one is the Pumpkin Pecan from DW Candles.  It does smell like a pumpkin fried in a pecan and caramel and fills the entire house with that yummy aroma.
I use it day and night.
My second favourite is the Iris Candle from the White Company.
Which has a lovely blend of comforting sandalwood, iris and jasmine.
It is already a repurchase and I will continue getting more if they don't stop making those.
The third one - is another Pumpkin Pecan from the Tuscany Candle.
I got it from the Trago Mills shop on one of my journey's to the South of UK. And cannot be happier. The aroma is, again, never fails to fill the entire room up of baked pumpkin pie.
The fourth candle - but not the least favourite from it - is Sea Salt and Maple Popcorn from Bath and Body Works.
It is another repurchase and I got it when I was in States. It smells of salty sweet popcorn and probaly is the most able out of all 5 to make the biggest room in the house smell of autumn.
The last one, the 5th - and I have not yet burned it, but I love, love the smell - is the Thanksgiving candle with the owl on top from DW Candles again.
I am going to definitely try it out in a week's time, when I have visitors. And will let you know how well it lasts.
When I put them all together, I noticed they are in majority - all orange and sweet smelling.

Stay cozy and warm through this autumn, friends! xx
