Win a Manchester Candles bundle

Life has been stressful and tense for all of us over the past month – but we must remind ourselves that the current situation will eventually improve. Unbelievably, there have been a few upsides. People are looking out for each other more – becoming more community-minded and charitable. Being in lock-down means we’re being more creative in the things we do – on our own and with our families.

We have a lovely collection of goodies from Manchester Candles that will definitely improve your stay-at-home experience. Sarah makes all of her candles and melts by hand; in small batches using quality vegan soy and rapeseed wax from sustainable sources and the finest cruelty-free fragrance oils.

The choice of mood-enhancing fragrances are:

Breathe – Sandalwood & Musk
Awaken – Citrus & Herb
Grounded – Frankincense & Myrrh
Sleep – Lavender & Chamomile
Stretch – Lemongrass & Ginger

The Manchester Candles bundle we have on offer consists of a candle, a diffuser, a room spray, a pack of wax melts and a burner. Choose a single scent or a mix.

To enter, simply tell us what you do to help you keep calm and relaxed. Me, it’s a hot, deep bubble bath with the lights switched off and a scented candle flickering… maybe with a glass of wine in hand as well!

This February, we’re teaming up with a brand new company to offer one of our readers a luxury scented candle from the Basalt Collection.

Founded in December 2018, Unown is a conscious beauty, grooming, wellness and lifestyle enterprise that aims to introduce international independent brands to the UK.

According to Founder and Brand Curator, Paris Edwards:

Our concept was born out of the desire to offer variety without becoming “just another beauty website”, we achieve this through our pre-order service.

These hand-poured soy wax candles are cruelty free, paraben free, preservative free and free from artificial ingredients and toxic chemicals. Each candle burns for 50 hours. There are currently four fragrances in the Basalt Collection range from which to choose.

For your chance to win your choice of candle, just leave a comment below sharing what your favourite smell is. For instance, is it freshly cut grass, baking bread, real coffee or something else?

My Jolie Candle

A few weeks ago, we received a lovely parcel from My Jolie Candle. It was beautifully packaged and on opening the box, the aroma hit straight away – magical! The waft of caramel macaron made it almost good enough to eat.

All the My Jolie candles are made from a mixture of natural vegetable and soy oils and waxes – no smoky, smelly paraffin here! The nine different scents are developed in Grasse, France; considered to be the perfume capital of the world. Here’s a 1-minute clip of the My Jolie candle story.

We’ve lit the candle a fair few times already and after more than 5 hours, the scent is still as strong as ever…

I’ve chosen a ring candle but there are still a fair few hours burning time left before I find out what it is or how much it’s worth.

To enter, simply tell us which one of the 9 scents available is your favourite. It’s that easy!
