My Valentine's Card

This seemed like a cooler idea than a folded piece of cardstock.

February Candle of the Month




I have been meaning to try this months candle for a little while now. It is by Feest, a Vancouver based company which makes my Canadian pride alarm sound off! Their candles have an understated elegance and simplicity, every scent is pure white wax in a simple german canning jar.

I bought mine locally at Plum Home + Design, but they are also online at Bespoke. 
The scents are all very sophisticated and unique, but not over powering or fake smelling. I chose the Soothing scent, which is a blend of tahitian vanilla, bergamot and Japanese peppermint.

I love that each and every candle is hand poured. Candles are such a joy for me, and supporting a business that does things the 'old fashioned' way just make me enjoy this one a little more.

I plan to put the jar to work for me as a vase as soon as this candle runs out, but I sure hope that isn't too soon.

Friday

I am getting geared up for warmer days! Taking inspiration from my grade 1 hyper-color filled wardrobe it seems...

I just can't help it!! Neon pink and orange just fill me with energy and pizzazz, no matter how much I have fought it. 

A quick browse of the sale rack at H&M netted stackable bracelets ($3) and a J.Crew-meets-tribal inspired necklace ($7).

The softest, comfiest pair of shoes ever by Splendid (here) migrated north, to my closet. They may actually be my first pair of oxfords! If pink soles didn't win me over I don't know what would have.

Whoever wins the Raybans will definitely need them if we bump into each other wearing all my new neon gear.

Hope your weekend is as bright as my spring outfits!
