Tea Time: Pumpkin Spice and Skin Troubles

     Hey guys! What's up? It's been a minute and I'm happy to be back. It's a new era here on the blog and there are some different things I'm going to be introducing. One of the things is here right now! Tea Time is going to be a really lax series that I'll be posting. It's just a cup of tea and some ramblings for the post. Hope you guys like it!

     Today I'm drinking some pumpkin spice black tea. The tea is from Timothy's and is made of black tea, cinnamon, ginger, cove, nutmeg, star anise, melon, and orange. It's a very fragrant and yummy tea.
      I'd like to rant about my skin for just a second. It's like my skin is sensitive to everything! Honestly I try so many different skin care and makeup products hoping that it'll do my skin some good, but everything just ends up making my face go red, itchy, and generally inflamed. It's pretty disheartening to be honest. 
     I always try to stick with natural products and moisturize with coconut oil and shea butter, but I just love trying different products. What can I say? Anyone else have this problem? Anyway, this is what tea time is going to be like here. Great tea by the way. Hope everyone's having a wonderful day!

Merry Hempsters is also working towards a more sustainable company by using soy ink, hemp stock, and recycled packaging for shipping.

Aroma Naturals HUGE Collective Review!

     Hello! I have a lot of items to review from Aroma Naturals. I'm so excited for these beauty and home products because they are natural and high quality!

About Aroma Naturals
     For about 20 years, Aroma Naturals has been making exactly what their name suggests; natural products with aromatherapy. Aroma Naturals uses ingredients that are fresh, pure, and good for us and the environment. Their candles are always plant-based and contain no synthetic fragrances. They now have a wide array of products that range from home fragrance to skin care, which are coincidentally, pretty much my two favorite things. 

Spiral Light Candles Review!

     Hello! Today I have a unique product to share with you guys today. I hope you find it interesting!

About Spiral Light Candles
     Spiral Light Candles is the first candles that burn spirally and fill themselves to make a new candle. The idea of a spiral candle started after the creator, Aaron, tried using a store bought candle kit. Like many great inventions, the first prototype was messy. Spiral Light Candles moved from the kitchen, to the basement, to an old potato warehouse. The warehouse was given new life and Spiral Light Candles have been growing ever since. 

My Thoughts

How did you get into blogging?
     I've been following blog and subscribing to Youtube channels forever. It looked fun, so I thought I would start blogging!


What advice would you give to a blogger just starting out?
      Don't put yourself in a blogging box! Find what you like to write about and don't be afraid to try something new! You don't have to be a certain kind of blogger. I don't consider myself a blogging guru or anything, but I think that is good advice to keep in mind. :)

Vance Family Soy Candles Review!

    Today I have a really cool review of some candles from a nice small business.

About Vance Family Soy Candles
     Vance Family Soy Candles all started when Amy Vance decided she wanted to make candles.Amy herself is allergic to synthetic fragrances, but in her research she found all the other harmful ingredients that are in many candles. From all of this knowledge, Amy decided to create candles that are healthy and sustainable. 

My Thoughts

    First off, I'd like to say that all the candles are beautiful. The vintage style would go great with any decor from country to modern. All of the Vance Family Soy Candles are made without synthetic fragrances, petroleum, or GMOs. These candles are 100% American made other than some essential oils. For every single candle purchased, the Vance family will donate to a charity.

Autumn Spice Vintage Style Jar ($18.99)
     For me, autumn scents are year round. I loved this blended scents of pumpkin, vanilla, and maybe some kind of wood smell. I'm not really sure the specific smell, but together it makes a great 12 oz autumn scent that I would burn all year. 

Spiced Latte Vintage Style Jar ($18.99)
     This candle is kind of similar to Autumn Spice, but a little different. I think would be great for all year as well! I think this one is missing the pumpkin scent, but I'm not sure. It's really nice!

Cranberry Apple Spice Mini Traveler ($6.00)
     Again, an autumn or winter scent. This is a richer scent than what I expected and really good smell.  
Vanilla Spice Mini Traveler ($6.00) 
     A nice light vanilla scent that could go in any room! A pleasant light candle that adds ambiance to your home.

Coffee Shop Mini Traveler ($6.00)
     If you know me, you know that I am always having coffee, so the smell is something I always want in my house! This candle is amazing, but I don't think I'll be burning it since I love it too much! A very rich nutty coffee smell that I wish I could eat.

Pennsylvania American Scent Trip ($18.99)
     One of the most unique things is that Vance Family Soy Candles makes a candle for every state, which I love! I got the Pennsylvania candle , which has notes of chocolate and honeysuckle. If you're skeptical about the combination, you need to smell this! It's really custom for every state and such a good gift idea!

     I totally recommend you guys check out some healthy and sustainable Vance Family Soy Candles!
