Happy Monday, folks!

If you’ve been shopping at MYER lately, you’ll notice that Kit Cosmetics is finally stocking Cargo cosmetics. When I first found out that it’s now available in Australia, my first thought was “FINALLY!” I tried some of their makeup years ago and they’re actually pretty good. Apparently they were available in Australia about 10 years ago, got pulled and now, years later, it’s back again.

Oh wait. I told you I make my own candles in my last candle-y post, didn’t I?

Soy is my wax of choice simply because it’s much safer for the household and it’s easier to clean up if there’s any spillage. Cheapie paraffin wax candles smoke easily and usually don’t burn evenly, leaving a hollow in the middle of your candle. I highly, HIGHLY recommend soy candles if you’re a fan of burning candles at home.
