Breath in...breath out

As going through stress with driving theory, I have been spending a lot of time in my room watching TV, doing theory mocks and eating, and with builders coming round to sort the roof out, my room stinks of dust! There's probably places that sell these everywhere but in my town market, there's a stall that sells dessert and beverage candles. I've always loved the likes of incense and candles, but as the only times I'm in my bedroom is when I'm sleeping or getting ready, I've never really bought any for my room.
My mum a few years ago, mentioned this stall to me as she is always buying candles for all the rooms and I remember her buying a cappuccino candle for the living room and this candle lasted for ages! Every time you walked into the room you could always smell it, even when it was unlit, and i absolutely loved this candle! Every time I go past the stall now I always buy a little candle for my mum as she loves them, then the other day I went with her to the stall and she bought herself a strawberry sponge cake candle and treated me to a couple of strawberry tart candles to put in my room.
I've already lit one, but even when they're not, as soon as I walk into my room, there's always a faint smell of strawberries. It's quite pleasant if i do say so myself.
I also treated myself to two packs of incense from the Candle Factory, one called Egyptian Rose and the other called Sambac Jasmine. They were on sale from £7.95 to £2! I've only tried the Egyptian Rose and it smells absolutely gorgeous!
If any of you are fans of candles and nice smelly things, tell us your favourites and if you have any interesting candle shops around you!
I shall post up pictures once my laptop lets me!
