And that pic proves why you shouldnāt buy cheap/seconds candles. They look like theyāve barely been lit but are already burning badly and dripping wax everywhere. Decent candles donāt drip wax down the side. Let alone who knows what the wax consists of in terms of what is actually being burntā¦How is she not embarrassed at the state of this
Because next week it will be two weeks OLD #sustainableWhy does she need to buy more stuff? Who needs yet another cardigan? Next week sheāll be preachy bullshitting about sustainable fashion choices. Iām so fed up with her.
This gets better each time I read itWe try and do one day shopping in actual shops as it's nice to be inspired, save on shipping and switch my brain off a little bit.
I tell Chris which day it will be and he walks beside me. We look at each other and smile.
We went in store and I treated myself to a knitted vest as I remembered we are embracing more cosy moments. Then I had to switch my brain back on a little bit, to think how to style it. I made a note of the time I bought the vest so Iāll know how old it is next week.
Now back home thinking of all the candles and leftover ribbon I could have bought for Ā£29.50! Chris reminded me that I had been in the office one day this week and that I deserved a great festive knit for being indoors at Xmas. We smiled at each other in the kitchen and then I remembered the Ad. I arranged the Bahlsen biscuits in the green splatter ware bowl. Theyāre delicious on their own but everything tastes as good as it looks in my favourite bowl, no?
Chris thought it was his day for reading she pronouns but I said Iād been inspired enough in the actual shop and to give it a rest.
Happy weekend everyone!
Itās all so she can sell the matchesā¦.Nothing to do with being frugal.How long has she been shilling the candle idea now? Surely itās been over a year now without any other new ideas for frugal gifts?
People who canāt afford to pay more for a candle wonāt be buying candles at all especially not as a gift. If you really are on a tight budget you go for practical gifts of value that are needed and will be used. Gifting candles is for middle class Alexes who already have everything so can think of nothing else of substance to gift.I know this sounds really snotty as many people can only afford the cheapest option
Anyone else quickly read āDouceurā as āDourā and think eww, thatās not aspirational.Little Spree has rebranded into Douceur - interesting as a) not trying to maintain two separate brands/Insta accounts and b) whilst a bit floggy is actually aspirational and isnāt sharpying candles for #content. Would love to be a fly on the wall in their office space tomorrow
