My Favorite + Spring Pura Scents

Posted on by mckennahbybee

Santorini – mediterranean fig, red currant, amber, and sandalwood. A very comforting scent it’s amber, warm, & woodsy!

Grapefruit – pink pomelo grapefruit, watery green notes with lily of the valley and coriander blossom. Such a fresh, bright citrusy scent.

Havana Vanilla – notes of vanilla and a hint of smoky tobacco, bergamot, and sandalwood. I’m obsessed with how warm & cozy this scent is. Great for a living room or bedroom!

White Bergamot – Citrus, greens, and woods notes. Such a refreshing citrus scent!

Santal Blush – bold florals and fruits rounded out by notes of wood, glowing amber, and musk. I’m adding this to my cart right now. I’m obsessed with the amber topaz from anthoro so I’ll bet these are just as yummy.

Unify Summit – probably my favorite scent – some woody, floral & citrus notes. I always have this scent in my bedroom.

Maui – tart bergamot, soft ylang ylang, and airy driftwood. This is such a fresh & floral scent, perfect for spring & getting ready for summer!

Dusk – exotic notes of Maracuya, fresh pepper, and sparkling pear with ylang ylang, mimosa, and creamy coconut. I have yet to find a scent from unify that I don’t like.

Barr Co Original Scent – has some woody notes, but nothing overpowering it is a very crisp clean scent great for living room/bedrooms!

My Favorite Pura Scents

Posted on by mckennahbybee

Hi Guys! I ordered a pura device a few months ago & I’ve been testing a lot of their scents to find the best ones! Before I get to the good stuff I just want to point out one of the big reasons I love pura scents is because they’re all clean & safe for pets & people. I always used to use the bath & body works wall plug-ins but they get too strong, they start to make me feel sick & they don’t have clean ingredients. The pura lets you adjust the strength setting, you control it from you phone & you can set timers too which makes it so convenient. Now for the good part all my favorite scents! My top 2 scents have * by them!

Capri Blue Scents :

  • Coconut Santal – notes : vanilla, smoky tobacco, bergamot & sandalwood.
  • Volcano – notes : tropical citrus & sugary notes.
  • Havana Vanilla – notes : hibiscus, lime, coconut & hints of amber.
  • Pineapple Flower – sweet summer scent. notes : pineapple, plum, lemon flower & sugar cane.

Unify Co.

  • Summit – lemon & pineapple leaf, white florals, cedarwood, & moss. *

NEST New York

  • Grapefruit – notes : pink pomelo grapefruit, watery green lily, & coriander blossom.

Barr-Co.

Anthropologie

Amazon Christmas Decor

Posted on by mckennahbybee

Hi friends! Who else is already feeling the Christmas magic in the air?! I’ve already started decorating for Christmas, but I haven’t completely finished. I saved a little bit of decorating for after Thanksgiving so I’m not completely crazy, right?! I’m loving the natural & neutral this year & I’ve linked a bunch of decor items I found on Amazon!!

Fraiser Fir Candle 6.5 oz

7.5 ft Pre-Lit Fraiser Slim Tree

48 in Faux Fur Tree Skirt

Artificial Snow Spray

Battery Operated Wax Pillar Candle Set – remote controlled, set of 9 varying heights. Would look so beautiful on a mantle!

9 ft Pre-Lit Garland

Mercury Christmas Tree Set – comes in gold and silver & varying sizes.

Pine Picks Set – set of 6 of them! Use to hide the ends of your Garland, add more dimension to a tree, or even in a festive vase.

Boho Ruffled Pillow Color – set of 2 and comes in tons of colors as well a multiple size options!

Stocking Holder – set of 4. I love how simple these are. I think these are a great option if you’re wanting to decorate the top of your mantle with a garland or candles. Sometimes stocking holders have cheesy sayings or characters & this allows you to choose what you put on the mantle, but still be able to hang your stocking in a beautiful & secure way.

Cream Cable Knit Stocking Set – comes in a set of 4.

Mistletoe Dinner Plate Set

Gold Bells – I’ve seen these styled at the base of a staircase hanging from a garland, on the end of a mantle, & even displayed sitting on a tray. They’ve been selling out everywhere & I can see why the coloring is beautiful.

Velvet Green Pillow Covers – these come in a few color options as well as sizes. They’re so beautiful & elegant!

Mistletoe Serving Bowl – if you’re hosting this year this bowl & serving tray below will definitely help elevate & keep your event cohesive. These are gorgeous pieces to invest in that you’ll be able to pull out & use or display each year.

Mistletoe Serving Tray

Pre-Lit Birch Tree Set – 5 ft & 6 ft trees. These would look beautiful in an entry way or dinning room. I love finding pieces that are neutral & won’t clash with current decor.

12 pack of fairy lights – 7 ft each. I add these to EVERYTHING garlands, wreaths & trees. I got a tip from an interior designer to add multiple types & sizes of lights to your tree to make it look more ethereal.

Tabletop Christmas Tree Set – I love these bottle brushes! Would look beautiful styled on floating shelves, an entry or dining table.

Gold Candlestick Set – there’s something so beautiful about a simple tablescape with candlesticks at different heights.

Natural Wood Nutcrackers – these would be beautiful on their own & fit perfectly into the “natural” Christmas vibe, but you could also use them for a craft project. They would look beautiful sprayed white or black & I’ve seen both trending this year.
