Ikea Tindra Candles

I work from home and the spare bedroom in our home is now my ‘office’ - I say office because there is really only a corner desk that I work from but, we also have all our bookcases in here and a sofa bed and so it has also become the room that we can go to for a bit of quiet time or to get away from the noise of the TV. So as this room started to take shape I wanted it to always be a dog free place (we have three!) and for it to be a room that you wanted to go to or in my case didn’t feel like a burden to be in there because of knowing I had to go in there to work. I wanted the room to be cosy ... more

Just before Christmas I picked up a Glade scented candle, which sadly I wasn't particularly impressed with - although to be fair the biggest problem I had was the fact I didn't really like the smell. Over the holiday period I received a gift which included small tealight scented candles and I got into the habit of lighting one of these every night as I sat beside the computer or down in the living room watching TV. During long cold evenings there is something I find quite comforting about having these on the go, but of course a tealight isn't exactly long lasting - most only burn for about 3 ... more

Ikea Tindra Tealight CandlesOn one of our many Ikea trips we have made in recent months we found ourselves purchasing a pack of Ikea Tindra Tealight candles. I have a fascination with candles and simply love the atmosphere they create.

When we were browsing around the store I could smell something really nice. To begin with I thought it might be someones perfume but then when it didnt disappear I realised it must be the huge display of candles in the homeware section of the store. I wasnt sure which candle it was so me and my partner debated for a good ten minutes about which ones to buy! In the end we bought 3 ... more

I am someone who does love buying candles and will always have one in my bedroom or lit in the colder months. They are quite relaxing but I have noticed that some candles can be very pricey especially as I do love a vanilla or chocolate scented candle which does mean a lot more, also if you want one that smells realistic and not cheap. When in the supermarket I did come across some nice festive candles but even I think that a fiver for a candle that will melt quickly if I have it lit a while just seems like quite a lot of money. This is why I got so excited when I went to Ikea and saw the ... more
