Thymes' new Wildwood Collection and more!

Being a fan of Thymes bath/body and home fragrance products, I'm always looking forward to their new scents. This fall, their Wildwood Collection debuts with aromatic Bitter Orange & Cedar, Blur Spruce & Elderberry and Brandied Pumpkin & Chestnut which makes me feel like I am in a cabin curled by the fire with a mug of hot apple cidar. The transition to the cool, crisp weather is slowly coming but I am not too worried. As I am enjoying the last few "summer" days, I'm lighting up this beautiful candle to bring me back to the "cabin."

More wearable Thymes scents for everyday!
Colognes and body mists! If you're looking for an everyday clean scent, the Azure Body Water is perfect. It's light and fresh and suited for a no-frills kinda gal. It reminds me of being by the water and who doesn't want that?
Looking for something more sensual? I would recommend the Moonflower cologne which has more cinnamon, clove notes with subtle hints of vanilla. It's a rich and warm scent that I can wear definitely in the fall and into the winter season.

Holiday Potpourris from Thymes!

I've been a huge fan of Thymes since the end of last year when I discovered their Agave Nectar Collection. This holiday, I'm excited to try out their NEW potpourris collection in amazing scents such as Bitter Orange & Cedar (woody), Magnolia Fig & Vetiver (green), Juniper Berry & Sandalwood (woody), and Frasier Fir (more green).

If you're looking to make your home smell more like the holidays, nothing says it more than the winter greens, wreaths, and the scent of a fresh Christmas tree! These potpourris are perfect to place in your home- such as the hallways, living room, or even bathroom! Afterall, you do want to balance out all the home baking right?

I recommend the Frasier Fir scent ($28 USD), which is more green. It consists of "fragrant birch and jack pinecones, natural cedar tips, red cassurina pods and green apple pods." Smells like you just took a walk in the forest and back!

Thymes also has available this gorgeous silver, ceramic bowl for your potpourri. The Potpourri bowl ($26 USD) is 11 inches in diameter so it's sizable.

Thymes: New Bergamot Vert Collection

Spceialty fragrance brand, Thymes, has a new collection this summer. With a Mediterranean theme, Bergamot Vert is a blend of essentials oils to lift your spirits and make you feel like you're on vacation. (I'm already back from my Fiji trip, right? ;) I kid.) Bergamot Vert products contains notes of citrus, balsamic cypress, light jasmine and light musk. The paraben-free formula for its collection is perfect for the rest of this summer and into fall.

I tried the Bubble Bath, more as a body wash actually since I don't have a bath, and I felt so relaxed. The scent was extremely pleasant and notably zesty and musky which is a nice combination. The formula was rich and lathering (using my wonderful EcoTools shower pouf!) Thymes has done it again with another great scent, as I love their other scents that I have tried, including Agave Nectar & Kimono Rose.

These will also make a great housewarming gift for the summer, especially an assortment from this line. The products range from $12-$30, so they're affordable & chic! Enjoy the citrus.. :)

Offer the gift of LOVE this Valentine's Day with Thymes

Valentine's Day is this Monday, February 14! Looking for a last-minute gift? Why not give your guy the gift of Love...? A Love candle, that is! The Thymes OFFERINGS Love candle is a wonderful floral aromatic candle with hints of Jasmine and Hinoki wood. The scents in this candle is meant to "inspire feelings of affection." Now I believe that our sensories are heightened when another one of our senses isn't used.. For example, I definitely feel like I can hear much better when I'm walking back home at night (haha) So if you're lighting this candle in a dimly lit room, you will definitely notice the strong scents of the candle. The scent is definitely a combination of floral/woodsy that lasts; the candle was burning for about half an hour one morning and the fragrance stayed the rest of the day.
As always, the Thymes candles are beautifully designed- just look at the candle holder. It's simple, classic and you just don't want to throw it out! They're definitely reusable, of course after approximately 60 hours of burning the Love Candle, and you can use it to hold your makeup brushes or something. ;)

Have a happy Valentine's Day with your loved one(s) this year!

It's Thymes for Valentine's!

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and whether you're single, taken or in-between, there's no reason why you shouldn't celebrate LOVE! It's all about taking care of yourself and sharing the love with your loved ones of course. I'm excited to kick-off my Valentine's Day Series with a fave brand of mine- Thymes. They offer some amazing scents and even though I have really sensitive skin (& nose) they are not overpowering at all. It's all about moderation as well and some of these scents are just too good to resist. Some can really put you in a good mood!

Winter blues can be so blah and make you feel down, so why not instantly energize yourself with a whiff of something fruity? Check out my Thymes Agave Nectar Collection review here.

Thyme's Kimono Rose fragrance collection is perfect for Valentine's Day with its sweet notes of clementine, rose, peony and jasmine florals. Luckily, they offer this scent in various products such as a hand lotion, body lotion (both of which I tried)..

Check out my review and...

The Thymes Kimono Rose scents are so floral and sweet. The rose, peony and jasmine combination is perfect for Valentine's Day to make your date fall head over heels for you. I usually don't go for floral scents but I am HOOKED on this!! The hand lotion absorbs quick so it's great to have right at your sink so you can moisturize your hands right after you wash. The Body Creme is fantastic to use after your shower to keep your skin smelling like sweet kimono rose. I definitely recommend this as a gift for yourself or for your girlfriends!

Bridal Series #3: The Perfect Scent

Don't you love it when you walk into a room and it smells so perfect? Whether it's your wedding reception, bridal shower, or just a lovely party that you're having, it's always best to have that lovely scent. There are two I recommend from NEST fragrances and Thymes...

This fall I have been obsessed with fragrances- the pumpkin chai aroma for the changing of the season's and the smell of holiday. Of course, I'm not surprised that NEST fragrances has teamed up with Vera Wang to create the Vera Wang Floral Bouquet Boudoir Candle. It smells really good and contains notes of lily, gardenia, blossoming Damask rose, leafy greens and watery nuances. These would be perfect to have at your dinner tables to get the smell of rich flowers. Perfect for the day time event!

Having an evening soiree? Then the Thymes Moonflower Aromatic Candle would be perfect. Dubbed the glimmer of Twilight, this candle will surround you with notes of cinnamon, clove, and sugared quince. It's a deep, dark mysterious scent that leaves you wanting more. The design of the candles are also so pretty and decorative so even if you're having a simple or lavish wedding, these are elegant enough for the right touch! Check out their Agave Nectar collection here. (Read more reviews on Thymes here.)

Thymes Agave Nectar Collection Review

Thymes has a stunning collection of bath and body products in unique scents that are inspired by nature. Their newest one- Agave Nectar- is a delicious super sweet citrus scent (grapefruit based)! If you're looking for something to energize and awaken your senses, then wash and moisturize your hands with the new collection from Thymes! ($12-$14, USD)

Although it may seem more fitting to have a citrus-y scent during the summer time, when it's dark outside and you have to get up- this scent will really wake you up in the mornings! It's super citrus-y comes from the fruity flavors of ruby red grapefruit, tangy guava, and lemon blossom! Not only do you get the moisturizing effects of the hand lotion from jojoba and sunflower oils, these products are formulated without mineral oils and parabens. It's a win-win!

The Thymes Agave Nectar collection carries this scent in other products such as candles, body washes and mists. These will also make a great gift for a house party.
