The Ending of Another Week, and Beginning of Another

Ohhhh this has been SUCH A GOOD WEEK!!

I got my taxes back... and I've been SO BAD! hehehe!! :)  I made orders with Front Porch, HHS, Orchid Lake, Can-Do, Crabby, Shayz, Beaux Savons Frais, Sugar and Spice Gourmet.... I THINK that's it.  I need to be on a wax ban so bad.  LOL!

I got in Ava's Country Cupboard and Closet Full of Wax in!! I will take pictures in just a moment!


This is Closet Full of Wax!  I got Toasted Marshmallow, Sugar Cookie, Cotton Candy, Amish Friendship Bread, and Lemon Squares!  To me, they smell a little funny cold, but so does Front Porch to me! I am going to try them warm before I truly decide!! I better hop on it while CFOW has free shipping on any purchase!! Been letting them cure since Monday!  
The FREEBIES were Banana Foster, Cinnamon Apple Berry and Blackberry Jam!!



Here is my Ava's Country Cupboard!! This was a sampler that she was putting out (with free shipping) to let people try out her scents!!  I just happened to be on when this one popped up, and she's one of the ones I was wanting to try out!! In this sampler, I got Granny's Cornbread, Pumpkin Cheesecake, Buttery Sugar Corn Pudding, Maple Sugar Bread, Apple Cinnamon Pancakes, Cinnamon Sugar Cake Bake, and Zucchini Bread.  My favorites out of this are Buttery Sugar Corn Pudding and Cinnamon Sugar Cake Bake!!! 

I have been melting:

HHS Pineapple Orchid- LOVE
JLCCW Pink Sugar Cookie Dough- so good...!!
JLCCW Pink Sugar/Aloha Pineapple/VBN- I wasn't sure about the pineapple, but this is so amazing together!! Definitely a rebuy!
SMT Pink SCDB- SOOOO AMAZING!
Scentsationals Raspberry Fizz- Good! I smell it and it hasn't even melted all the way yet
FP Group Hug- GOOD!! Its that lavender/pink Sugar/tangerine blend I love
HHS Pink Serendipity- Love!
HHS Serendipity Noel- Love!
HHS Pink Sands- Love!
HHS Coconut- Love!

I think that's probably it!! I was melting my combination of Coconut and Pink Sands for a few days!! But everyone who's thought about ordering from JLCCW, SHOULD!   And of course, HHS! :)

In GA, it's beginning to feel like Spring...Even with the Blizzard in the NorthEast

Good Morning, everyone!

Its been a novel wax week.  Had some great orders come in!! :)


I got six packs Pink Fire, Cinnamon Toast, Pink Toastie Marshmallows, Pink Dreams, and Warm PInk Vanilla Sugar.  I got cups in Pink Grapfruit, Pink Serendipity, Pink Zucchini, Amish Bread, and Pink Strawberry Jam.  I got freebies in Blueberry Marshmallow and Pink Macstachio!  Love them all!!!

I also got my JLCCW order!!!  


This was a combined order with a friend of mine.  I got 3oz tarts in Peppermint Cake Bites/Serendipity/Pink Sugar, Aloha Pineapple/Pink Sugar/VBN, Gourmet Sugar Cookie/Glazed Cinnamon Doughnuts/Vanilla Sugar, Pink Sugar and Serendipity Jaimie, Nana's Kitchen and Gourmet Sugar Cookie, Pink Sugar, Lavender Vanilla, Gourmet Sugar Cookie, and VBN and two cupcakes in Wildberry Mousse Noel and Pink SCDB.  

My friend got a cupcake sampler in the following scents: Stormwatch, Pink Serendipity, Apple Butterscotch Cake, Pumpkin Marshmallow, Frosted Lime Cupcake, CremeBrulee Pink Cupcake, Avalon, Pink Sugar/ Vanilla Pear, Country Bumpkin, Glazed Cinnamon Doughnut/Gourmet Sugar Cookie, Pink Sugar/Aloha Pineapple, Pink Sugar/Frosted Lime Cupcake and 3oz loaves in Pink Sugar "Type", Pink Sugar Cookie Dough, and Pink Sugar Lemon Ice Box Cupcakes.

I tried melting my Wildberry Mousse Noel cupcake last night, amazing!! It still needs curing, but its fantastic!! I am letting my order cure for a week or two before I melt another!! 

I also got my OLC order!! 


Scents that I got was: Fruit Loops, Iced Lemon Biscotti, Lemon Confections, 7UP Pound Cake, Hello Sugar, Zesty Lemon Squares, Pink Lemon Biscotti, Lemon Squares, Lemon Souffle, Iced Lemon Danish, and Iced Orange Zucchini.   I ended up giving Fruit Loops away to my friend because I am just not a Fruit Loop fan.  Yes, yes I am weird.  I know! :)  My favorites out of this so far (cold) is Hello Sugar, Lemon Souffle, and Pink Lemon Biscotti!  I put in Iced Lemon Biscotti in my bathroom.  Read my review below!  





Let me go ahead and tell you guys what I have been melting!
Shayz Pink Danish - This is a reorder for me!! You can't go wrong with Orange Creamsickle AND Pink Sugar! <3
HHS Granma's Monkey Farts - It's amazing how two scents you don't like by themselves, smell great and compliment each other so well!  If any of you have tried Farty Bread by FP (which is where I got the idea, didn't like Monkey Farts, but loved Farty Bread!) I have another six pack on the way!  
FP Coconut Pineapple Ice Cream  - mmmmmmmm soooo nice! It's not too creamy like most ice cream scents, but has a nice frosty, frothy note to coconut pineapple/colada type.  I recommend this for summer!
Shayz Warm Pink Vanilla Sugar - Absolutely wonderful!  I received a six pack of it in my order above for Shayz!  Great, nice and strong!! Pink and Vanilla! <3
FP Citrus Laundry - This is a mix of Citrus Explosion and Gain Laundry!  It's fantastic!  Perfect mix of both!  Luckily I have both Gain and Citrus Explosion in seperate packs, so I can mix them together since I used the last of my CItrus Laundry!
FP Gain Laundry - This smells JUST like Gain detergent!! It's fantastic and so strong!  
HHS Fresh Linen - Great for you laundry/fresh scent lovers.  It's nice, just not one of my favorites.  Nice and strong.  To me, linen and regular laundry scents smell different.  Linen smells a little harsher to me.
FP Cucumber and Grapefruit - I loved this scent cold.  Got it after I ordered it for a friend of mine.  I went to warm it today, and I just don't think I like it.  With most of FP's grapefruit scents (like Bamboo and Grapefruit), it just seems that the other component overpowers the grapefruit.  And I order these scents BECAUSE of the grapefruit. My husband likes it though... so we will see.  
FP Pink Mallow Bread - I melted this with a Gain Laundry Tart (I know, I know, weird combination) but it smelled good together!! Pink Mallow Bread smells very nice!!  Will definitely mix something like this somewhere!! :)
OLC Iced Lemon Biscotti - I got a sampler of the bakery lemon scents.  Orchid Lake has some great deals on samplers! $9, free shipping for 10 (.8oz) cups of a certain category of scents.  I gotta admit, free shipping gets me EVERY SINGLE TIME!! I am so weak...  My point is, I put one of these little bitty cups in my bathroom warmer, and even the little cup is nice and great for the bathroom! Very fragrant!! I have been getting into bakery lemons a little bit more, especially getting closer to warmer weather.  This is a great one!! 


I also ... happened to make a few orders!! :) 


While I am waiting for a HHS order that I made with my friend (All I remember is that I got my two bags of Pink Sugar.) I keep forgetting that Janet doesn't send out an invoice.  Which makes getting the package in the mail like a present, because I forgot what I got!! But this time, I remembered to write my choices down!
2oz TART CUPS
Whipped Amish Friendship Bread
TART CUPS
Jelly Beans
2oz TART CUPS
Lemon Creme Cooler
2oz TART CUPS
Pink Hawaiian Splash
PALM TARTS
Pink Pineapple Orchid
PALM TARTS
Pink Sugared Strawberries
PALM TARTS
Pink Sugar
PALM TARTS
Pink Noel

My two free packs I want: 1) Granma's Creamy Zucchini Bread + Monkey Farts!
2) Pink Sugared Strawberries + White Cake

I also made a small Closet Full of Wax order!  $5 order, free shipping!! Will be getting it Monday.  She has free shipping all month long, no minimum purchase.  That will always get me to make an order!! That's why I loved Front Porch so much!! 

Toasted Marshmallow
Amish Friendship Bread
Cotton Candy
Pink Sugar 
Lemon Squares

I THINK that's what I got!!! I went to the list again and tried to think of what I had gotten.  That sounds right.  If I like what I get on Monday, I will definitely be getting another order in! :) Everyone should too!! Perfect timing!! 


ALSO before I forget, FussAssMcGee is having $1 tarts plus free shipping (I'm not sure if its on a certain amount or on any purchase) but its definitely worth checking out!! I definitely will!!

Until next week!! You lovely tartlettes be good!! Let me know if it's been cold or warm where you are at and what you have been melting!!

Ramblings of Another Week!





NO ONE LAUGH!  lol OK Yes I am trying the video making thing again.  It's short and sweet.  Tried to keep my Southern Belle accent out!  Man, I swear, in real life, when I speak, I don't hear my southern accent... until I make a video... or a recording... then it comes OUT!  Noooooo, put it back! 

I am going to upload a picture I got from Front Porch (Yes I know, I banned myself from Front Porch, but some of these scents were too good to pass up.  I only got four individuals.  Nothing too bad.)  

I got Celtic Moonspice Noel, Pink Mallow Bread, Pink Sugared Bread, and Lavender Blackberry Cookies.  That Lavender Blackberry Cookies INTRIGUED ME!! And I love Celtic Moonspice and VBN blends... I have never thought of them together!  And anything Pink calls my name!  

This is where I list what I have been melting this week.  I have been mainly in my bedroom (because I moved my laptop in there so I could rest in my nice comfy new bed :D) where I burn mainly candles.  I've been burning a bunch of Slatkin candles (because that's all the candles I have!)

Toasted Pistachio Delight- <3
Frosted Tangerine Cake- <3 <3
S'Mores- <3 <3
Vanilla Snowflake <3
Paris Amour <3 <3
Marshmallow Peppermint <3 <3 <3

I have been melting some tarts too!! Can't leave you guys hanging and not melt any tarts all week!! But its definitely, DEFINITELY less than I have been melting! I have been trying to clear out some of my stash for some orders that have been coming in (Will elaborate later!)

HHS Buttermilk Pancakes- I ordered this the first time I ever ordered from Haley's.  I ordered this and Coconut.  I had never tried Pink Sugar before and wanted two generic sounding scents so I could mix them and even just melt them by themselves, that way I knew what I was getting.  Buttermilk Pancakes... you can smell the sweetness/mapley of the pancakes... just a tiny bit of mapleness.  It's a perfect pancake scent in my opinion. Very warm and very good!
Shayz Pink Dreams - Favorite!
Shayz Pink Toastie Marshmallows- Favorite!
HHS Pink SCDB- Favorite!  I wouldn't be melting this if I didn't have another bag of it and Janet said that she found a dupe for SCDB (THANK GOD!) so I can melt a little more of this! <3
HHS Apple Cinnamon Sugar Cookie Cone- <3 Good!  This was my own personal blend from HHS! It's very good!! Just over the apple.  I'm usually more into apple cinnamon/apple cider scents in the fall... now I'm gunning for peppermint/perfumey/warm scents! Just no apple or pumpkin!  
SMT Pink Noel- :O I can't tell you people how much of a favorite it is for me!! I have them in the little racecars, and 3 of those are less than an oz.  Scented up my bedroom (because I need to melt my SMT!) for two days!
SMT Pink Butter Cookie- YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!  Butter made me worried about this scent... but I am IN-LOOOVEE!! Need more of this!! Straight up cookie with pink sugar!! Now this makes me want to try Butter Fudge!

Also expecting orders from Shayz and JLCCW this week!! Hoping to hear about my OLC order!! Can't wait!


That's about it for me!!  If you guys are curious about a scent and all I say beside it is, "Favorite" or "Love" and you want some more information about it, please leave me a comment!! I will happily describe the actual scent and/or the throw!!  Usually I have mentioned it in past blog entries, and don't want to get too repetitive!  

THank you guys!! Leave me some feedback!!

The Temperatures Are Dropping Outside, But Inside is Toasty!

I hear some of you have been getting snow!! I would LOVE some snow!! A reason to get out of school/work (Love a good snowday!) Atleast it would make a slow day at work!!

We have just been getting what feels like sub-zero temperatures.  But, keep in mind, I live in the South. Georgia.  It really means under freezing for me!! lol

So I have been melting SUPER-TOASTY scents!!  I had a S'mores theme going for a few days!  Then I have a Lavender/Pink Sugar/Tangerine combo going now!  Will tell you more below!


HHS Cinnamon Noel - beautiful! Cinnamon with VBN... I love this!! When my Cinnamon Vanilla runs out, I'm getting this in a six pack!
BSF Chocolate Buttercream- I've already raved about this one!! Love it!
Shayz Pink Fire- This was a freebie that I got in my last order!  I looked up the description and saw it was Pink Sugar and Cinnamon.  I've been LOVING Cinnamon scents lately!! This one is FANTASTIC!! Another Pink Sugar scent at its best!! Once Shayz sale goes under way today, I'm ordering it in a six pack!
Shayz Pink Toastie Marshmallows- LOVE!
KNB Ashley's Spicy Sweet and Toast- I haven't really had good luck with KnB scents... Not too strong.  But cold, it has a nice smell.  It's my own personal scent of Cinnamon Vanilla, Toasted Marshmallow, and Sweet Cinnamon pumpkin I think.
Slatkin Nutmeg & Spice- love this!
BH&G Smores- Another goody!

Nene's Lavender Tangerine- I have to order more in this!! Or see if I can get it mixed with Pink Sugar!! I melted all of these below together, its such a wonderful combination!
SMT Sweet Lavender Marshmallow Cake - SO STRONG!  And sooo good!!!
HHS Georgia Peach - Strong, but I am not a fan of peach.  I would definitely recommend if you are going to do a Lavender/Orangey/Pink Sugar combination, do Tangerine.  A nice citrusy tangy orange.
HHS Pink Sugar- LOVE
Shayz Pink Dreams- LOVE!  ANother favorite!
Shayz Pink Toastie Marshmallows- LOVE!  Another Favorite!
Crosscreek Orange Smoothie- This was nice! I wouldn't reorder it personally.
LKC SCDB Zucchini- Another favorite!! Have melted it before and would definitely consider it a reorder!
Distinctly Pink Sangria White Peach- Again, not a peach fan.  But nice! :)



Has anyone seriously tried Pink Sugar/Lavender Vanilla/Tangerine?  It's AMAZING!!! I'm serious!  Freakin' amazing!! And I'm not a strong lavender fan at all.  But this is the perfect amounts of everything!!  I tried Front Porch's Group Hug and it's unreal!!  Now I'm blending it everywhere!

Also I'm a huge fan of S'Mores blends!! Chocolate, Buttercream, Graham Cracker, Marshmallow, Pink Sugar (OK I can blend ANYTHING with Pink Sugar <3) all together to make a killer Smore!!

Anyone else have any unique blends that are AMAZING!!?!  I have been a blending machine here like crazy!! I have empty candle jars putting on candle warmers so I can have more room to blend scents!! I definitely been making a dent in my stash!! Which is WHY I am ordering from Shayz soon!!

Here is my list of what I'm wanting to get:


PINK FIRE 6pk
PINK TOASTIE MARSHMALLOWS 6pk
PINK DREAMS 6pk
CINNAMON TOAST 6pk
WARM PINK VANILLA SUGAR 6pk
PICK 5:
PINK GRAPEFRUIT
AMISH BREAD
PINK ZUCCHINI
PINK SERENDIPITY
PINK STRAWBERRY JAM 1
V/S Dupe Tarts PINK
SPRING SINUS RELIEF



I am getting a few orders here soon and a friend is giving me some tarts from Village Candle!! I can't wait!!

Would love to hear what you've been melting!!

Ordering and Melting!

Phew!! Is anyone as exhausted as I am?  I have been SUPER-MELTING this week!!

My schedule has been shifted a little bit!! Instead of my half day being today, I got my WHOLE day off today and my half day is tomorrow.  So I am writing my weekly blog post tonight!

My melts this week:

LKC SCDB Zucchini- This one is a DEFINITE reorder!! So nice!! Not too sugar cookie but great!
HHS Cinnamon Noel- Cinnamony with VBN.  Getting this in a six pack.
Rosegirl's Pumpkin Chai- I hate that Rosegirl's is so expensive.  This is fantastic!! I got it in a destash from, I believe, Sarah Miller.  I am planning on blending a pumpkin, cinnamon noel, and chai tea from Haley's Heavenly Scents, to get this combo!
FP Cinnamon Bread- Another good FP scent.  I may get this one in a 4pack if it ever comes in the 4packs again.
BF SCDB- yum yum yum and yum!
HHS Pink Sugar- Do you have to ask?
Shayz Pink Cookies- This one is good, strong on the pink sugar and nice on the cookies!! I really like this one!
Shayz Doodle Cookies- was not too impressed with this one.  Its OK.  Her Gingersnap and Cinnamon Toast are good cinnamon scents.  I was trying to order a few to decide which I liked better.
Missy's Tempting Tarts Kiwi Watermelon- I've had this one curing for, I swear, about 6 months.  Good scent!! Should have melted it sooner!
Sugar and Spice's Grapefruit Surprise- This was a nice scent!  If I order from S&S, this would be a reorder!
Miscellaneous Grapefruit Surprise- good, but I have NO IDEA where it came from!  It has a handwritten "Grapefruit Surprise" on it, but no vendor name and no other label
BeauxSavonsFrais Rockin' The Stars- I have heard of this scent constantly.  I live 100miles away from Lush (who came up with this scent in the first place for their bodycare line) and it's the first time I've tried this scent.  I get more blackberry than anything else.  Its OK.  Not a reflection on BSF, just not a scent that I would pick from anyone.  I did mix it with the miscellaneous Grapefruit Surprise, and it turned out nice!! Maybe a blend I'll think about in the future ;)
Distinctly Pink's Cinnamon Frosting- My cup was so small, I blended it with the next scent below, HHS's Granma's Blackberry Butter Jam Cookies.
HHS Granma's Blackberry Butter Jam Cookies- I smell alot of Granma's Zucchini.  I am beginning to think I don't like it (the zucchini part).  I am going to try to stay away from the zucchini breads and go towards the amish friendship breads.  I tried one AFB from FP and liked it.  But the blackberry part was nice!! I think I may like it without the Granma's Zucchini Bread!
Orchid Lake Candle's Gummy Bears- This one on cold sniff smells amazing!  It was another small cup, like Distinctly Pink's Cinnamon Frosting, so I combined it with Auntie Di's Delight's Raspberry Pomegranate.
Aunt Nena's Peach Bellini- This one is NICE and STRONG!  I love Peach Bellini anyway from BBW. But very nice and strong if you want to order from Aunt Nena's!
Auntie Di's Delight's Raspberry Pomegranate- I mixed this one with OLC's Gummy Bears.  I really like this scent, and the scent combo!! Everything I've tried from Auntie Di Delight's has been nice and strong (like the Brown Sugar & Fig!) Going to try that company out sometime for myself!!

Alot of these scents have come from destashes (except from the HHS, Aunt Nena's, Shayz, LKC, FP, and BSF SCDB, )


ORDERS:


I ordered (first time order) from Orchid Lake Candles.  A Bakery Lemon Sampler (10 1oz cups) $8.10 with 10% off coupon and free shipping!! YAY!!! 

I am in the middle of making an order from Jaimie Lauren Cupcakery and Confections in Wax!  Here are my blends!!!

Pink Sugar and Serendipity Jaimie
Nana's Kitchen and Gourmet Sugar Cookie
Pink Sugar, Lavender Vanilla, Gourmet Sugar Cookie, and VBN

Pink SCD
Wildberry Mousse Noel


I am so excited about these!!! 

I haven't made an order in a WHILE!! So it was really exciting to make these!! Can't wait till they get here!! Two new-to-me vendors!!

After the Holidays...


Now that Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's has passed, we now have Valentine's Day and Easter to look forward to.  Not as significant and atleast a month away.  I'm sure a bunch of you are relieved that the holidays are over.  Less money on people's presents/food/parties and more money for (really, what else?) WAX!

You all would be so proud of me this week!! I actually kept up with my list of scents that I melted this week.  I melted 13 different scents this week.

WARNING: I know I always say something like "I don't like cornbread scents, I don't like this scent and this kind of scent, yadda yadda.  I am always getting scents that I may not like, but I sometimes get the courage to try anyway or I like a particular kind of that scent of that scent.  (Like I like Prairie Kitchen, its a cherry scent... and i only seem to like Prairie Kitchen blends when it comes to cherry).  Just   I am VERY picky with scents!! There are some surprises here this week that I came to realize that I actually liked!!


SMT Lemon Cheesecake- I got this in a SMT mixed lot box.  TBH: I am not a cheesecake scent fan (but love EATING cheesecake lol!) This was a good cheesecake scent, a great scent in general, just not for me because of the cheescake.  But for being this type of scent, it was good to me!!
HHS Lemon Chiffon- My husband is always saying that he doesn't like lemon smells.  Well this one was in my very first order from HHS and have been waiting to melt it with SMT Lemon Cheesecake because I thought they'd go well together!  They did!  Lemon Chiffon was a very nice lemon scent (thinking about trying some other's now from HHS) and Husband approved.  We all know what that means!! :D :D SIX PACK! haha!
HHS Prairie Kitchen- We all know I'm picky with scents.  I am picky with cherry scents too.  I LOVE Prairie Kitchen and Prairie Kitchen blends!! I don't know why!  I smell the cherry but its not medicinal cherry!! It's sweet yummy cherry with something else in it that is fantastic!
HHS Pink Sugar - <3
BSF Pink Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream- Ever since Slatkin Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, I have stayed away from Mint Chocolate scents.  I love Mint Chocolate chip ice cream in real life, but I always thought it was something that I loved cold (ice cream), but hot/warm, smells funny.  I ventured out and tried BSF PMCCIC.  WOW! It was a softer mint ice cream with pink sugar!  Strong but everything was mixed together just so!  I definitely give this one a thumbs up!!
Long Cane Primitives Peppermint Nibbles- This one was a nice one!! It was peppermint with some cake added in.  I would definitely order this one in something bigger!!
Distinctly Pink Vanilla Sugar Waffle Cone- I got this one in a destash and mixed it with DP Jack Frost.  I wasn't entirely impressed with either.  I think HHS's Jack Frost is stronger and HHS probably has a scent similar to VSWC that would be stronger as well.  It's just my opinion.
Distinctly Pink Jack Frost
SMT Peppermint Noel-  I got this one in a destash and OH BOY am I glad I did!!!!!  I mixed this with HHS Pink Sugar (just because I'm a Pink Sugar NUT!) and it was amazing!! The VBN came out in it, just as the peppermint did, and pink sugar just was the cherry on top!  So glad I got a big chunk of it!! :D :D :D  BTW, I put in a quarter of a 4.7oz chunk.  LOVE!
BSF Chocolate Buttercream- This was a little sad for me.  This was my first loaf ever!!!  I had to cut it up.  It's beautiful, isn't it?  It looks like something you can special order from Godiva or Hershey's!


So I cut it up.  and put a nice size chunk in my warmer in my kitchen.  My kitchen has smelled like CHOCOLATE, yummy sweet delectable chocolate!  I've never had a REAL chocolate scent from wax! That's great!  Usually chocolate scents (to me) smell gritty and weird.  So this is SOO worth getting in the loaf!! Plus, look at it, its gorgeous!
BSF Pink Strawberry Cornbread- Cornbread is another scent where I've tried from another vendor or two before in the past and have stayed away from them just because its one of those funny smelling scents that I couldn't get into.  Like Cheesecake.  But like I described it on BSF's Facebook page, I smell mainly pink sugar and strawberry with hints of a bready type scent!  It's WONDERFUL!! I put three donuts in my hot plate warmer and it was just wonderful!! Strong, nice, and pretty to look at once it was melted!! Sparkly!
Shayz Peachy Pink-  This one wasn't as strong as her pink scents usually are, so I would have to say pass on getting it in a six pack.  For me.
LCP Strawberry Rhubarb Sugar Cookie-  Rhubarb is another one of those scents that is Yay or Nay for me.  It just can be so strong and potent and over power everything else.  This scent was a perfect combo of everything but the rhubarb was strong!! I am glad I have a little bag of it because it was nice!! :) I'd melt it again!  This was another destash scent!

Like I said, alot of I don't like these kind of scents BUT.  ALot of destash melts and stuff I have gotten that I may not have picked out on my own.  It was very nice to find out some scents that maybe I can continue looking into!! I am still finding my own tastes, finding new scents, etc etc.

I'd love to hear some scents that you may not have thought you would have liked, but ended up loving!!

Thanks everyone for reading!

Belated HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2013

I try to be as accurate with the "Post Titles" as I am with my wax reviews. So last one was "Post Christmas" since it was posted on December 30th, and now even though its technically after New Year's, It's going to be a New Year's post!

Anyone got any NY's resolutions?  I don't, except to get out of my job that doesn't let me melt hardly at all because I work 60hours a week plus. Also, to write what I melt more often so I can be sure I get every scent that I have melted over the past week!

LOL You know we really love wax if we try to bend our hours to make more time for it!!

OK some stuff I have been melting so far:
Lil Kitchen Candles Serendipity- Reorder
BeauxSavonsFrais Sugar Cookie Dough Bread- Reorder!
Haley's Heavenly Scents Serendipity Noel- 6PACK!
Haley's Heavenly Scents Loopy Ice Cream Cake- Unlike most everyone, I am not a fruit loop fan.  I never really liked the cereal, nor did I like the smell.  I ordered this scent when it was a sale scent, figured it I was ever going to try a Fruit Loop scent, it was going to be while it was on sale!  It's OK to me, but you Fruit Loop lovers would LOVE IT!!!  I didn't even hate it.
Haley's Heavenly Scents Vanilla Bean Noel- I need this in a 6pack!! Smells great!!
Haley's Heavenly Scents Pink Sugar- Obviously a Reorder!
Haley's Heavenly Scents Pink Serendipity- Obviously a Reorder!
Haley's Heavenly Scents Pineapple Orchid- Fantastic!! I am going to get a 6pack of it blended with Pink Sugar!! YAY!
Shayz Scentz Pink Toastie Marshmallows- It's part of a six pack, its excellent!
Lasting Scent Candles Pink Sugar Buns- This one is good, but I like LSC's Pink Marshmallow Shortbread better.  PSB has a sour note to it that I don't care for, whereas PMS doesn't.
LSC Pink Marshmallow Shortbread- love!
Haley's Heavenly Scents Pink Sands- It's a spot on dupe and its part of a 6pack.  Its excellent!
Haley's Heavenly Scents Whipped Pink Peppermints- OK good news and bad news on this one.  First of all, its definitely a reorderable scent.  IF Haley's can make it anymore.  Peppermint was one of the Miami Erie oils.  I will explain the Miami Erie oil incident below.  So I am hoping she has found a dupe for it, because this was excellent!!
Haley's Heavenly Scents Granma's Pink Zucchini Bread- Definitely nice!! Reorderable!
Lil Kitchen Candles Pink Sparkletini- Great!  This one and her Serendipity had a very very nice throw!! :)
Shayz Scentz Minty Pink- REORDER!! REORDER!! Mostly pink with a hint of mint!! I'm not one to overdose on mint so this is perfect!
Front Porch Candle Pink Serendipity- Yeah it's good.  I'm not ordering in a 4pack though.  There are plenty of other vendors that carry serendipity.  But for those of you still ordering with FP, it's got the green light from me!


For those of you who are unaware, Front Porch Candle Company also has another company named Miami Erie, which sells oils to vendors and I believe regular customers as well.  Miami Erie made an announcement that they were no longer selling oils to vendors period.  Alot of the favorite vendors were out of certain scents that they would order from Miami Erie (thankfully, no one ordered ALL of their oils from ME!) At first, M.E. was going to cancel all of the orders, then after an uproar of customers and I'm sure vendors as well, decided to fulfill the orders that were already placed.

Now vendors are left with either trying to dupe their own scents or finding them somewhere else.  It's going to be very difficult.  I know vendors such as Haley's Heavenly Scents and Lil Kitchen Candles were affected by this change.   This is another reason I have decided to boycott Front Porch.  Bad business practices.  The price mark-ups are just icing on the cake, but the bad business practices are what pushed me over!

In case no one noticed, I LOVE Pink Sugar scents!! And I am loving Serendipity scents as well!! I am hoping to get Serendipity mixed with other stuff like Sugar Cookie Dough Bread, Pink Sugar Cookie Dough Bread, Pink Vanilla Bean Noel, Amish Bread, and some other combos!! If you guys have any ideas, please comment below!! Those are just ones I came up with off the top of my head!

Also BeauxSavonsFrais is reopening on Valentine's Day!! I am so excited for that! She is busy at work making TONS of soaps and wax melts for her big gigantic grand opening!! There are going to be lots of people clamoring over that site clicking quickly to make sure they get what they want in their cart!!  Lanie (CEO of BSF) is going to be RTS for a few months, recovering after she had her second child!  So make SURE you stay tuned and keep your eyes open for the time when she reopens!! It'll be TOTALLY worth it!!

I am getting in on some wax orders with my good wax friend Tiffany Nash!! Shayz Scentz for sure!! Need my six packs of Cinnamon Toast, Gingersnap, Warm Pink Vanilla Sugar, plus I want to try some of those zucchini blends that people talk so much about!! I am also going to retry Pink Grapefruit!! Hopefully this time it will throw like crazy! I love Grapefruit!  Tiffany is going to be picking a vendor that we split another order on.  I am hoping between Nene's Kitchen Melts or Cleanse Your Soul!  They both have great products and great scents!  Can't wait!

Thank you guys for reading into the new year and hope you continue to do so, as I try my best to provide a good solid foundation for wax reviews, even if they are sometimes few and far between!!

Leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts on your wax and vendors!
