The Jadelist: SEP 15

Hey hey lovely people

Wake me up when September ends. Literally, where have I been all this month?!

Now we've got that cliché out of the way, let's talk about my ten favourite songs for the month of September.

Now during September, I get what I like to call 'self diagnosed S.A.D'.

Seriously, as soon as I know that Autumn has hit, when the nights come in earlier and the sun doesn't rise until late, I get super upset over losing summer, or at least the six days of sun that we had. Shout out to the not so Great British weather.

Why am I telling you this? Well, I believe that this has genuinely impacted my music choices this month. Have a look back at last months Jadelist and let me know if you notice a difference.

We're also having a little change around with Jadelist this time. I couldn't find original versions of some of these songs on YouTube, so I bit the bullet and decided to use Spotify instead.

The whole playlist will be available at the end of the post for you to follow or to listen to again.

Without further ado, here's the September Jadelist.

Enjoy!

Hoppípolla by Sigur Rós

Well, I'd be surprised if you didn't know this song.

Let's face it, it's pretty iconic, or at least it is if you're a Brit. This song is used at so many award ceremonies or some kind of epic event.

Now for the real question: how many of you actually knew what it was called?

Hands up, I admit that it wasn't until a month ago when I heard it on TV and finally had the opportunity to shazam it that I actually knew what it was called.

Funnily enough, after listening to this on repeat a fair few times, it struck me that it reminded me of Go Do by Jonsi.

Yeah, little did I know that Jonsi is actually a member of Sigur Rós. Fact of the day here guys.

If you weren't personally moved by this song then I'm afraid that I may have to disown you.

Do You Realize?? by The Flaming Lips

Now, hear me out!

The first time I heard this song, I never realised how weird it can sound, along with the lyrics too.

I was scrolling through Vine one day when I heard it in a clip. Shout out to the new music feature on

Blogmas Day 16 - My Wax Obsession

Hey hey lovely people!

So, I was sat around thinking what to post on, then I realised the lovely smell that was in my living room from my wax melter.

Therefore, today's post is gonna be on my latest obsession, WickNWax!

Okay, so WickNWax are a small UK based company that make tons of wax melts in all different shapes and sizes. It's funny because until about a month or so ago, I'd never used a wax melt!

I'm trying to remember where exactly I first heard of them, but it was definitely on Instagram from someones post. After that, I thought I'd have a look on their website, which ended up with my buying a warmer and a few different scents.

You can buy waxes in different scents and shapes, for example, a scent shot, which is basically a single scent which you can use to 'test' a fragrance, or combine with others to make your own unique fragrance!

Along with all the other products are wax loaves, which you can customise if you choose. Naturally, I HAD to make something with raspberry, so I have my own personal scent of Raspberry, Cotton Candy and Birthday Cake.

My personal favourite scent from WickNWax as of now is Blonde Moment (the yellow one above), a mixture of champagne, raspberries and strawberries! Yum!

Now, for this of you just starting out in wax, big tip! Unlike candles, wax won't just melt away. Instead, it'll just lose its scent. 

I think most people use up there wax until the scent had gone, pour it away and then pop a new one in. To be honest, I like to change my scents up quite often, which is why I freeze mine.

Freeze?! Yes, you heard that right. When your wax has cooled, put it in the freezer for about 10 minutes and it'll pop out of the warmer so easy, in a cute little square shape, or whatever shape, depending on your wax warmer.

So, that's kind of a brief introduction into wax melts! If you have any questions or suggestions, let me know in the comments below!

As always, thank you so much for reading & I hope you have a lovely day!
