I do wanna say as I am writing this post the only sent's that I have melted is the Peach Cobler and the White Gardenia.
Moonlit Garden (2)
I haven't melted this one yet but it is one of my favorite sents and should have picked more then 2 up. It is unbelievable and I think I may wait to melt it because it's that good
Blue Summer Sky (2)
This one smells great but not good enough to have gotten more.
White Gardenia (6)
If you like over powering sents this is the one to get. I like it don't get me wrong but it is very over powering.
Lavender (4)
I love the sent I've lavender anyways and I can't wait to melt this.
Sweet Strawberry (4)
Again I love the smell of strawberries and can't wait to melt these. In the packaging you can't tell how sweet it will be
Peach Cobbler (4)
I melted the peach Cobler and it smelt great but it is such a sickly sent that I had to switch it out for an old melt that I have.
I love Yankee candle a bit more then bath and body works. I hadn't been in since the last time I did my Yankee candle haul which you can findHEREand it was lucky that I did because they still had the 75% off sale on the melts and the mini candles and they had a one day event where you get an extra 10% off.
My total before the savings was over $45 and with the savings I spent around $10.

Hey and welcome back. Today I have another book review, this time on Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson. This is the first book that I have picked up by Morgan Matson, I have seen a lot of reviews by other people about how amazing the book is but I didnt want to pick it up right away because of how popular it is, and when I saw it on sale in the book store ( I think i got it as a 3 for $10 or 2 for $15 sale, I cant remember because it was on my shelf for a while) It took me a while to get in to the book, I think I started and put it down three times before I actually finished the book. I got about 100-150 pages into the book at the furthest. So reading those pages I found it really hard to carry on. I found some of the book really bland in some spots and wanted to give up so many times BUT....
I like how Solane had brought Emily out of her shell even when she isn't there. I like how there's playlists in this book. I know there is in Amy and Rogers a Epic Detour but I like how in this book the playlists are not overwhelming as it seems in Amy and Roger.
I also like how it's different to any other YA summer books in the fact that Emily has to complete a list. Frank and Gideon have a great story line within the book. I like how these two are going after Emily because it seems that Solane is the one that people always go after and Emily is a little left behind. I must say that I like Gideon a little more then I like Frank.
I like the bond that Emily and her brother have. They seem to be close but not close enough that its seems over bearing. I would have liked to have seen more of her brother. I like how different the parents of Emily seem. Solane life is one that I wouldnt want always driffting and going to different places. You can tell when she is telling Emily the story that she dosent like that she is always having to move and that she respects Emily's friendship over others she had before.
When Sam was first introduced into the book I had a feeling something would have gone wrong by the way he treated Emily before the incident. What I did like about the book is how Emily has completely different friendship with Solane and Dawn. I like that both friendships are so different yet both friends bring something different out in Emily.
Mix #14
Mix 14 was brilliantly done. I wasn't expecting it at all.
Emily and Frank relationship
I had a feeling that they would end up together. Do I like it. I'm not sure if I actually liked the relationship between them. I think it was an obvious one.
The friendships in the book is really nice and well written and even though each person in the group bring something different each group fits really well. I like how the friendships all started and in some cases how they ended.
Each person in the book gave something that was unexpected and got in to the story well.
After reading the book I enjoyed it, it's a good summer read and what I have heard about other Morgan Matson books that's what's she is good at.
I gave it a 4* on goodreads because I felt as if some of the plot was obvious and you knew in advance what was going to happen. Such as I knew that Emily would go looking for Solane and that something between Emily and Frank would happen.
Lauren xoxo ps This song poped n to my head when I first saw the book
Today's post is another Top 5 Wednesday, and the topic is Fathers or Father figures as Father's day is on sunday. You can find the Top 5 Wednesday group HERE and this months Topics HERE
To all the boys I've loved before Jenny Han
I didn't like the book that much but I did like Lara Jean's dad. Being a single dad to three girls must not be easy but he seems to be doing a good job
If I Stay Gayle Forman
Mia's dad seems really cool. He is really into music and you know how much he impacted Mia's life in the short part that he has in the book
My sisters Keeper Jodi Picoult
Brian sees the bigger picture in the situation that the family is going through. The family goes through such a tough time and he is someone that seems to be gentle and you could talk to.
Harry Potter Sereis JK Rowling (
On this one I am cheating a little and having two because I cant choose between them. Sirius Black and Arthur Weasley. They both are so different but so brilliant.
I wouldn't say I have blonde moments a lot but I did recently. When it comes to Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation I know what shade I am. 100 Ivory. So I pick up the foundation a few other bits and come home. Then when looking to do another blog post I was looking at the two Wake Me Up Foundations and realize the one I have recently brought is different. Not massively. But different still.
If you look closely at them you can see the newer foundation's pump is flatter then the older one.
Here's a better view. They are the same shade by the same brand but the pump is different.
Do I like it? Well it's different for sure. I haven't tried it to see if it's different formula or anything but it surprised me that I didn't even notice. Face palm.
Hope you are all well. Today's post is a wishlist to complete the series of the book/series that I already own.
The Daughters Join The Party Joanna Philbin
I have the first three books in The Daughters series. They're not bad but not great either as far as I can remember. It's been about 4-5 years since I've read them.
Where Beauty Lies Elle and Blair Fowler
I couldn't finish the first book Beneath the Glitter but want the second book just to complete the series. I may one day get around to reading both books.
P.S I Still Love You Jenny Han
I didn't like the first book To All The Boys I Loved Before you can see my review here but I want to get the second book at some point just to see what happens
Girl Online on Tour Zoe Sugg
I have the first one and even though it's not really aimed at my age group I found it a lot better then Elle and Blair book. It's one of those books that I'll read just once and will sit on my self I think.
Crossed Ally Condie
I haven't heard anything good about this book. What I have seen/read is that the first book is a lot better then this and even the last book. But I want to read it for myself and come to my own conclusion
Reached Ally Condie
Again I haven't heard anything good about this book but again I want to read it for myself to come to my own opinion on it.
Today's post is about books that YouTube personalities have released and I own.
All I Know Now: Carrie Hope Fletcher
I loved this book. It is worth the read. I have two copies. One that I got when it was released and it was at the local goodwill so I had to pick it up.
Beneath the Glitter: Elle & Blair Fowler
Elle and Blair were the first YouTube personalities that published a book. If they actually wrote it or if it was ghost written on their lives I don't know but my god it was awful. I got quite far about 100 pages from the end but couldn't finish.
Girl Online: Zoe Sugg
There were a lot of talk that the book was ghost written and I could see why. It wasn't great but it wasn't bad. It's a lot better then Elle and Blair Fowler's book by a long shot.
The History of my Insanity: Trisha Paytas
The thing with Trisha Paytas is you either lover her or hate her. She is a lot like marmite.I happen to love marmite. Some videos of Trisha's I watch, some I don't and some I get part way through but get bored and switch them off. This book wasn't great. It's basically an autobiography. From birth up until she wrote it. It's a quick read. The thing with it was it was very bland. The font of the words were very generic. And felt as if she wrote it in a few hours and published it as soon as she finished without anyone looking over it.
The Stripper Diaries: Trisha Paytas
The stripper diaries are just journal entries Trisha did during the time she was a stripper and again it felt very bland. I don't doubt that some of the things happened to her but not all that she put in there happened.
The Story Of Channon Rose Lessons Between The Lines Channon Rose
Channon is one of my favorite YouTube personalities. She is honest and that comes through in her book. I don't think she sugar coated as much in her book as Trisha did in her book.
