Loli(Ta)lk: Alice and the Pirates: Holiday of the Hulim Hulum Brass Band JSK



When this Print was released, I could not order it, because I didn't knew about Shopping-Services at that time. Luckily I found it a few months later on yahoo! new without tags. My preferred color was the Green/turquoise Version, but the Red-Version was my second Choice so I asked my Shopping Service (that I found in the meantime) to order it for me.
The real color is beautiful! It has a great burgundy-red color. If you take a look at the Stock-Pictures, it seems like the Part of the Print with the Brass-Band is in ivory, but that’s not true. Take a look at my Picture. In real, the print with the Brass-Band is in a pale red that fits the color and look of the whole dress much better.



I wore the dress once. I still like it, but I had to let it go. It felt very tight on me and there are other Dresses in my Closet I like more.

Review: Yankee Candle


Winter is coming and it’s time to light a candle. So why not light a candle that fills your room with delicious scents?
Well, I can tell you that I tried a lot of perfumed candles and oil in my life but Yankee candles are the greatest one I know till now.
Yankee Candle is a American Company that offers perfumed candles in an incredible number of different fragrance. From “Fresh Cut Roses” over “Serengeti Sunset” to “Fluffy Towels” you can find nearly every flavor you can think of.
Yankee Candles are expensive (if you match them with normal
perfumed candles that you can buy in any drugstore), but they are made of natural ingredients, what is very important for me. I don’t want a chemical bomb, where I don’t now, what it’s blowing into the air that I’m breathing.
Yankee Candles are offered in different sizes and forms:

Wax Tarts (22g): up to 8 Hours

Votive (49g): up to 15 Hours
Small Jar Candle (104g): 25 to 40 Hours
Medium Jar Candle (411g):  65 to 90 Hours
Large Jar Candle (623g): 110 to 150 Hours

Of cause you can buy matching glasses and other Stuff for the Candles as well.

I usually buy a votive or a wax tart if I find a scent, I want to have. There is only one scent that I bought as large Jar Candle, because it was reduced after last Christmas. And that’s what I can recommend you. Yankee Candle offers special scents for every season and after a season is over a lot of this scents get reduced ;)


This is my current collection (most of them are from the last Christmas-Collection) :








By the way, Yankee Candles are a great gift, especially in the dark and cold time of the Year.
