Unfortunately, the candle isn't currently available on Home Bargains' website. However, shoppers can browse the four different colour options.

I've found the Shein secret of the century – now you won't have to wait weeks for your deliveries ever again
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SHOPPING fan has claimed to have discovered the Shein 'secret of the century.' So if you are fed up with long delivery times when you order clothes from the online retailer, then fear not, you've come to the right place. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 A fashion fan has claimed to have found the 'Shein secret of the century' Credit: 3 So before you place your next order, you'll need to listen up and take notes Credit: 3 Thanks to Shein Quickship, items will be delivered to your door much faster than normal Credit: AFP Natalie Southern, a fashionista from the UK, has found a very simple way that will enable Shein shoppers to get their affordable hauls delivered to their doors in less than a week. Posting on social media, the fashion fan revealed her 'life hack for the girlies' as she got candid on Shein's Quickship feature. Stunned by her findings after browsing Shein's website, she said: 'Please tell me I'm not the only one who's just realised this on Shein - Quickship.' Natalie then added: 'Who knew that if you wanted your goods from Shein, there was a section where you can order from Quickship, where your goods come in a number of days rather than a number of weeks.' Following this, the content creator simply confirmed: 'I didn't.' Thanks to Shein Quickship, shoppers will see items be delivered to their door in as little as three to five working days. Shoppers will find a variety of items available under Quickship, including epic clearance deals, with clothes that have been reduced by up to 70%. Quickship comes at no extra cost to Shein shoppers - but of course, standard shipping fees apply - and there are thousands of great buys to browse and choose from. So if you've got an event coming up soon and don't have time to wait for a new frock, you'll need to check this out - and fast. Natalie's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @nat_albarudi_southern, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 157,900 views. Ugly side of fashion giant Shein revealed as retailer slammed by rivals for 'unfair tactics' to keep prices low It's also amassed 2,926 likes, 188 comments, 596 shares and 4,947 shares. Social media users were stunned by the little-known Shein feature and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this. One person said: 'Thank you for this video! God send.' I will be using that from now on as I order off Shein all the time TikTok user Another added: 'Literally about to make an order!! Thank you, I had no clue this was a thing.' A third commented: 'Wish I knew this 15mins ago.' Meanwhile, one Shein shopper wrote: 'I'll be shopping even more now! I never knew this!' What is Shein and is it legit? Shein is an online-only fast-fashion retailer, based out of China, that has become a number one shopping destination for many around the world. The company was valued at $66billion in 2023, dwarfing that of popular high street brands Zara and H&M. The fashion retailer was founded in late 2008, by entrepreneur and marketing specialist Xu Yangtian, also known as Chris Xu. Shein is a legitimate selling website and is not a phishing scam. But you may receive a disappointing order or run into shipping issues if you order from the site, according to reviews. There have been swathes of quality complaints, which makes sense when looking at the price tag. At the same time, another Shein lover beamed: "I will be using that from now on as I order off Shein all the time." However, one user claimed: "Just had a look. Items are so much dearer." But to this, Natalie wrote back and confirmed: "But still cheaper than high street shops and I have to be honest, Shein's options are so much better than what I have on my local high street."

I quit my job, signed up to Universal Credit and had my third baby – taxpayers call me ‘selfish' but I don't care
But while some understood Xai's motivations, others called her "sad" NO KIDDING I quit my job, signed up to Universal Credit and had my third baby – taxpayers call me 'selfish' but I don't care Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MOTHER has revealed that she quit her job, signed up to Universal Credit and had another baby. But Xai, a mum-of-three who lives in London, has since been met with a barrage of abuse, as nasty trolls accuse her of being an "embarrassment." Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A mother has revealed that not long after quitting her job, she signed up to Universal Credit and gave birth to her third child Credit: tiktok/@xainlo_3 2 While haters have criticised the mother-of-three, she wasn't afraid to clap back and set the record straight on her situation Credit: tiktok/@xainlo_3 However, Xai has confidently clapped back to the keyboard warriors and shared that she wants to be 'present' and 'raise' her little darlings herself. It comes after the content creator took to social media and uploaded a video of her alongside her youngest child. Xai confirmed that recently, people have said to her: 'You look happier.' Setting the record straight on the change in her mood, Xai acknowledged: 'Thanks I quit my job, signed up for Universal Credit and had another baby.' But as Xai laughed for the short video, she also wrote: 'Gonna really annoy the (income) taxpayer with this one.' While Xai didn't confirm how much income she receives through Universal Credit, the standard amount for those who are single and under 25 is £316.98 a month, while it's £400.14 for parents who are single and 25 or over. Meanwhile, for those living with a partner and both are under £25, the standard amount is £497.55, while it's £628.10 a month for those living with a partner and one or both are over 25. Claimants will also get the child element added to their standard amount if they are responsible for a child who normally lives with them. There are extra amounts for a second child if they were born before 6 April 2017. Claimants usually only get an additional payment for three or more children if they were born before 6 April 2017. I lost 'everything' when UC stopped my £4.3k-month payment... now I've been sacked from my new job The additional child payment is £339 a month for those with an eldest child born before 6 April 2017. It is £292.81 a month if a parents' oldest child was born before 6 April 2017 and for a second child and each eligible child after that, it is £292.91 a month. Big divide Xai's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @xainlo_3, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 117,900 views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 4,214 likes, 214 comments and 115 saves. But social media users were left totally divided by Xai's clip - whilst some understood her motivations, others called her "selfish." One person said: 'You're an embarrassment. Am I entitled to Universal Credit? According to the GOV website, if you're on a low income or need help with your living costs, then you could be entitled to Universal Credit. To claim, you must live in the UK, be aged 18 or over (with some exceptions if you're 15 to 17), be under State Pension age, and have £16,000 or less in money, savings and investments. Other circumstances are if you are out of work, or unable to work, for example because of a health condition. 'Bringing children into the world so they can suffer with you isn't a flex.' To this, Xai clapped back and confirmed: 'No one [is] suffering round here.' Another added: 'And my taxes are paying for it… cheers.' It's not enough to survive, but it's temporary while my kids are little Xai Eager to share her story, Xai wrote back and shared: 'No sir I've been an income taxpayer since I got my degree and we all still pay council tax VAT etc so your tax is not paying for a single penny of my life. 'I'm just getting back what's mine.' A third commented: 'Oh my I'm not excited to turn 18 and pay these selfish ones wages.' Not only this, but someone else wrote: 'Looool I don't mind mums getting my taxes just think it's sad you guys would wanna give your kids the bare minimum cause UC living is barely surviving.' How much Universal Credit can you get? TRYING to work out how much Universal Credit you can get can be overwhelming. There are so many different elements that can affect your claim and it makes the whole process even more complicated. There are several free calculators that you can use to help you get an estimate, such as Citizen's Advice, MoneySavingExpert, StepChange and Turn2Us. You will need: Details of all your income, such as existing benefits, tax credits, earnings from employment and your pensions, Details of your partner's income if you're married, in a civil partnership or living with someone as a couple. You will be assessed as a couple Information on any savings you have, How much you pay in council tax per year, and whether you get any discounts, reductions or exemptions, Details of your rent or mortgage payments, Employment and income information about anyone else living with you, such as grown-up children, Details about your carer's allowance if you receive it. You'll need to make sure that the information provided is as accurate as possible to get the truest estimate. To this, the mum-of-three responded: 'I agree it's not enough to survive, but it's temporary while my kids are little. "I want to be present and raise them myself. We'll worry about the money before and after.' But at the same time, others were impressed by Xai, as one mother stressed: 'I wanna be like you.' A second agreed and beamed: 'As a working mum! I get it! Enjoy your time.' Whilst another praised: 'Nothing better than a mum who puts her babies and herself first.'

Woman who has saved over $100,000 reveals the five habits holding you back financially
A woman who prioritizes saving and investing over spending in the hope that she can retire by 40 has warned people that five popular habits are keeping them 'broke'. Mia Rose McGrath, 24, has over $100,000 in savings and investments and lives a thrifty lifestyle so she can 'soft retire' 26 years before her peers. With more than 143,000 followers on TikTok, Mia, who lives in London, England, and works in fashion, frequently posts about the stringent approach she takes to managing her own finances. 'Trying to be cool or aesthetic is making you broke,' Mia said in a TikTok video posted this week. She explained that buying a completely new outfit or spending $50 on a Rhode phone case in a bid to look 'aesthetically pleasing' on Instagram was a waste of money. Reflecting on her own experience, Mia admitted that she used to fritter away cash on exactly the exact behavior before she made a change. She said: 'I realized I was doing it for other people, not for myself.' The second mistake that people make, according to Mia, is allowing themselves to be swept up in trends and fads that turn out to be very expensive. She warned: 'You don't need the latest trending item - a Labubu, a Coach bag. It's not essential.' While she approved of saving up for something 'you really like,' Mia encouraged her fans to be really honest with themselves before making a purchase. She added: 'I guarantee if you waited 30 days to buy it, you wouldn't want it anymore.' The third financial mistake Mia identified is 'not saving because you think it's pointless'. Telling those who are saving none of their income to 'please change that,' she argued that 'no matter how small it is,' it's worth doing. 'I guarantee, if it's $10, $50, no matter how small it is, you're probably not doing it because of that reason,' she reminded viewers. Mia revealed that she also started small, even putting money aside when she was relying on a student maintenance grant. She continued: 'I wouldn't have been able to do that if I had that mindset that saving $50 is pointless.' Fourthly, Mia advocated for starting a side hustle, telling fellow TikTokers that they're 'not too busy'. Taking a tough love approach, she said: 'Stop using the excuse that you don't have enough time, you just don't want to enough.' She insisted: 'Whatever it is, creating content, creating a personal brand, making extra money - I've done all those things while at a nine to five job that I have to be in the office five days a week for.' Mia added that, providing someone wants to improve their finances, they can - it just takes discipline. Finally, Mia warned that it's irresponsible to think a 'man is going to sweep in' and facilitate the 'soft life' that some people crave. 'Soft life' is shorthand for a life lived on a person's own terms, usually free from the constraints of a fulltime job. Gratitude: Mia's viral video attracted plenty of comments, with most people thanking her for her stark advice She added: 'There is so much bad advice on TikTok saying you need to appear in your "soft feminine energy" and go sit at a bar where a rich man will find you...' In a bid to do away with this myth, Mia said: 'You have to work hard and have your own money. 'Sure, if you meet someone who earns more than you, that's a bonus. Make sure you have your own finances sorted first.' Despite having issued the disclaimer 'you're not going to like this' at the beginning of her video, Mia's advice was generally well received on TikTok. One fan said: 'No lies told! "If you want to do it, you can - it just requires discipline".' A second person added: 'The waiting 30 days is such a brilliant and helpful thing to do!' While a third said: 'Great points! It is so important to stay mindful of spending and focus on saving in the long run.' Someone else pointed out: 'The amount of overconsumption I see is wild, it's so wasteful (not just of money but resources).'
