I am not a fan of expensive candles in general, but I love this particular scent from Bluewick. Plus, their candles are made with soy wax which is better…for some reason…who knows! I just liked this candle.

Can you think of anything in the world that is possibly more delicious than confetti cake? Especially when made with the cheapo mix and the matching confetti frosting?
