Bath & Body Works Haul...Again

Yes, I indeed have some type of addiction. I once again, went to Bath &Body Works at Eaton Centre to Buy MORE candles. As I've stated before, I do love candles but would never buy from B&BW just cause it is pricey. On a normal day, these candles will rank up to $25 per candle, so if you buy 2 thats already $50 bucks. Buy more than that, well your spending WAY to much for candles. However, I now understand WHY people spend so much for these candles and now with the "Buy 2 or 3 and Get 2/3 for FREE" event is going on before christmas, I think this is the PERFECT opportunity not only to grab some candles or body lotions for yourself, but good for Christmas gifts (esp people who you don't want to spend $50 or more on and aren't as close to you)

What did I buy this time?

1. Cinnamon Carmel Swirl: Now, I did indeed buy this in my last Haul, so why waste another 22 bucks for ANOTHER one? Well this scent is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I, tried both this one and the Japanese Cherry Blossom versions and was a little disappointed that I couldn't smell the Cherry blossom one (well atm I'm pretty sick so I cant smell through my nose -_-). However, being sick did not stop me from smelling this beautiful blend. The carmel is very strong compared to the cinnamon but overall its very calming scent. This in a few seconds will not only smell throughout the room its placed but spread around the house. This scent only comes during Christmas time so I'm defiantly taking advantage of this. 

2. Winter Candy Apple: I bought this one since it had a really nice candy cane scent to it. Also being a limited time scent, I decided I might as well try it. I applied some of the lotion to my hands and was very impressed with the blend. I would have bought the lotion as well, but to take advantage of the deal, I might as well get two extra candles (each originally $25) so save about $60 bucks compared to getting lotions which are normally $10-$12.50.


3. Vanilla Bean Noel: I honestly loved the name for this candle and the blend seemed to go with its title. Though the Scent is not as strong compared to the others, I decided to get it for 2 reasons: A. Vanilla anything smells awesome, and B. Its FREE. So I would take 100% advantage of this deal and promotion and pick up a scent which I clearly wont be able to get later in the year.

4. Limoncello: This was another FREE candle. This had a very strong lemon scent but not strong enough to annoy your nose, especially if lit. Though, I believe this candle can be purchased year round but there wasn't any other Christmas candles that were to my liking, so I picked this up if my room needed a fresh lemon smell to it, especially if I get visitors (not like my room smells but hey little air freshener doesn't hurt)

5. Pumpkin Cupcake: This scent is ANOTHER adorable combination! Who would have thought pumpkin cupcake would smell so delicious. This was actually a FALL scent and they brought the miniature size version too clear it out for christmas season. I wish they had this in the bigger version since it such a calming blend, similar to the carmel but this scent was embedded in my brain and I just had to purchase it. It was $5 dollars each so I bought two which allows me to get two other items ($5 or under) FREE. Which leads to #6.

6. Snowman Candle Holders (mini version): I choose this design to hold my miniature pumpkin cupcake candles since I personally know I wont use these candles as often or for more of a "special" night, due to me having such a limited amount (also having to wait till next year October to purchase the bigger size). Since it was FREE, why not get them to design my desk a bit more. Plus, they're adorable -///-

Finally, another reason why buying these candles is way worth it is their "lifespan" is amazing compared to other candle products. As stated, my family love candles. My mom puts one on usually 3-5 times during the week or 1 per day. Due to such frequency, we run out of candles pretty quickly. I lit the carmel candle and took a nap before my shift (yes I know, you shouldn't sleep with candles on especially if you home alone) and literally burned probably have the candle. However, the wax will cool down and return to its original state for your next usage. Compared to other candles where when its gone....well its gone LOL. So, it may look like a lot right now, but it will last me a LONG time :D


Bath & Body Works have ALOT of good stuff from candles, lotions and really good gift packs, so I would take advantage while you can. The sale ends December 24, 2014 AND with any purchase they will give you a $10 OFF coupon. I paid for the pumpkin candles (10 dollars), got the coupon and than purchased my 2 candles ($49) which brought the purchase to $39 and got 2 large candles ($50 dollar value) for Free. I smell Savings!! If you are candle person or lotion person, than this is the place to go.

Till Next Time...

Pandora Jewellery Disney/Winter Collection - Fairview Mall Review


Chriselle Lim-> Fashion Blogger collaborates with Pandora
Today I went to Pandora Jewellery, Fairview location to look into the Disney &Winter Collections which got released today Nov. 1. This is a limited edition collection that usually occurs during Christmas time for Pandora. So this is my review on Pandora, its customer service, and my current pandora charms. 

Pandora Jewellery is one of the few retailers that provide unique, authentic jewellery at an affordable price. The "charm bracelet" concept alone, is one of the most popular aspects of Pandora, offering various number of charms (more than 600), all with different meanings and perfect to buy for oneself or gifts for others. They defiantly embrace their key phrase "Unforgettable moments" because they're jewellery will have a way to remind you of events/people/occasions that were memorable and deserve a item to represent that moment.

I purchased my Pandora bracelet back in September of this year. I was introduced to the concept by one of my teachers and thought it was a unique. To be able to wear a bracelet that matches pretty much anything, looks expensive (the more charms, higher the value) and most importantly, HAD meaning to my life was a good deal. My Mom paid for me (Thank you Mommy XD) and my bracelet consisted of the following charms (including the ones I purchased today:
1.Sterling Sliver Bracelet- > $75 (required)
2. Korean Doll Charm-> $45, Meaning: My Korean music obsession
3. Love of My Life, Fancy Pink (2)-> $110 Meaning: My Mom Loves Me & I Love Her
4. Disney Sparkling Mickey & Hearts- > $95 Meaning: Love Mickey
5. Disney Minnie Pave-> $75, Meaning-> always love Minnie ALOT

6. King of the Jungle-> $45, Meaning-> My new Dad, King of Our world <3~ 

Total Value: $445

In total I have 6 charms out of the max 20 charms that can fit on the bracelet. The combination I have to admit really complements one another, especially with the sliver/pink mix. Im debating whether to add gold but with the other charms I'm planning on investing in, this bracelet will probably be mostly pink/sliver combo and will centre around my family, friends, hobbies and profession.

3 Charms I purchased/How they Look all Together
Now to talk about Pandora Customer Service:

I have went into two Pandora Locations so far: Yorkdale and Fairview. 
One of the negative about Yorkdale location (or the mall in general), is that they base their clients literally on appearance. Meaning, when you enter the store in a pair of sweats and don't look very "fancy", Don't expect to be served (unless its Michael Kors). When I went to show Noah the charms I were interested in, the two sales representatives didn't pay any attention to us. However, when two white females entered in the store, they were welcomed and address to immediately (racist much >3>). So I took my 200 bucks and decided not to purchase from that location. 

Fairview has been where BOTH my Pandora purchased have been conducted and I have never had a bad experience. Both encounters, I was serviced immediately when I walked in (First by a beautiful chinese girl, Kimi and Second, by a white girl named Cameron). Both were friendly, inviting, served us immediately, looking into detail to find charms that would fit my currently bracelet and were really outgoing. Its rare to get such service so, I talked to the manager herself (sadly there isn't a online guest feedback section for Pandora :O) and I made sure to recommend both of them as amazing employees and deserve to work at that location for as long as possible (HI KIMI <3~). 

Wish List Charms:
How my bracelet will look with (11/20) Charms 
Customer Service Overall : 10/10
Did I Find What I was Looking for: YES

It was an amazing experience and I have no hesitation in going to that location or getting more Pandora charms in the near future. Me and YunJoo were both invited to this Holiday party event that they're holding on the 29th and selling a limited edition charm which usually sells out during that party so going to look into that. Fun day and can't wait to fill up my bracelet with the other 4-5 charms on my wish list. 


Me and YunJoo: Two Very Happy Customers
Thank you YunJoo for Buying me the "King of the Jungle" Charm <3
