Step into Spring with Illume

Illume 2
I’m not gonna lie to you guys, after being in Delhi, I’m ready for bright colors and the spring weather to follow me back to Ohio.  I feel like I can’t get antsy just yet because I still have a vacation in snowy Telluride next week, but it’s definitely on my mind.

The wonderful people at Illume sent me a whole sampler let of their new spring items and it’s certainly not helping my spring fever. The colors are bright and vibrant, the patterns are reminiscent of summer and the scents are just what I need.  How cute are these little matchbooks?

After Christmas, I need fresh, clean smells wafting through my house (I’m not a food/sweet scent type person) and so I was so excited to try a different scent each day from the sampler to see which I liked most.

The verdict?  Cactus Verde is the winner.  It’s clean, light and herbal smelling which makes my house feel just as ready for spring as I am!

Speaking of winners… We have TWO winners of the Birchseed giveaway and both winners will be contacted via email!

 

Have a FRESH Wednesday, you guys!

    What a pretty pallet of color! Little candles in a variety of scents — sweet and savory alike — are one of my favorite things. Such an easy way to make your home or office feel more warm and cozy.

    Welcome home Erin! These are so cute. I love the bright colors!! And there’s something about lighting candles with a match that is so much better- I love the smell. I have Spring Fever too!! Not too much longer :)

    Love the new candles and am excited to try some new, fresh, spring-like scents. I love the Story People print in the background as well!

      I love the little pops of color on white in all of the Story People prints! I have a bunch since I’m a little color shy :)

        Story People prints (and cards) are the best. I think my best friend and I buy a new Story People print for each other every other year or so! :) I also think they’re great gifts for new parents – just the little prints – (in case you don’t know their style as well)
