BUT I'M BACK!

When I opened the box, I opened it on the floor and handed Barry the
bag of Pistachio Coconut Fluff!  IT IS AMAZING!!

was in Pink Vanilla SCDB!

The Bathing Garden and Melting Diary

Good evening, everyone!!!


Well the time has come!! I have received my largest TBG order up to date!!!  Let me shower you with some pictures!!

Here is my entire order plus my freebie wax extras

Blueberry Lavender Ice Cream, I LOVE IT COLD! 

Pink Sugared Pie Crust, is yummy!! I love how it's two-toned too!

Sleepy.... Sleepy... I can see why so many people love it!  I can't
wait to see this again so I can order more!! I hope it's as great cold!

Le Sticky Bubble Monster.  This one was OK.  SUPER Strong on
the Hubba Bubba Bubble Gum scent.  I was hoping for more
Serendipity!! We will see once it cures! 

I got this in a 4oz, and I'm glad I did!! It smells just as good in a
scrub as it does in a tart!! Yumm!!

4OZ Marshmallow Frosted Cookie Jar, smells soooooo good!!
If I weren't worried about ingesting harmful chemicals, I'd eat it!

This and the one below, are my FIRST 8OZ scrubs!  They are
HUMONGOUS!  And I love the little beads!! I smell more
bubble gum in this like the tart, but I'm hoping it's layered
and the Serendipity comes out too!! 

Last but not certainly not least, my 8OZ Guava Berry Gelato!
I LOVE THIS SCENT!  And having it in the shower will be awesome!

I also got these little decals as my freebie.  I have
no idea what scent they are, but they're cute!

When I took pictures of my scrubs today, for the life of me, I couldn't get the labels to be focused, so I just rewrote them in!  Lol, better than nothing I suppose!


I am also still looking forward to my Haley's Heavenly Scents order!! Woohoo!!

I also won a Haley's Heavenly Scents Twinkie Sampler on her Facebook Group Page!! YAY!!!!

I will be taking scores of pictures when I receive my order and sampler!!  I am so excited!!









And for my melting diary: It's been a pretty productive week: melt-wise!

Melting Diary

Village Candle Vanilla Pear - I don't do pear most of the time, but this one is actually a juicy not too sweet pear scent.  Recommended if you see it at a TJMAXX!
LCP Cotton Candy Twinkies ZB - This was great! As was Wildberry Mousse ZB from LCP!
LCP Wildberry Mousse ZB
CBV Cinnamon Raisin Bread
HHS Granma's Amish Toasted Caramel - I usually HATE caramel!  But this wasn't cloying or gross, it was fabulous!! <3 I think I may get Granma's Toasted Caramel next time I order from HHS again!
TBG Rainbow Candy Cream Soda
TBG Pie Crust over Lavender - I melted this and Rainbow Candy Cream Soda together, which was actually pretty interesting!! Now I want to know how Lavender Cream Soda would smell together!
Streetman's Love Potion #7
HHS Vanilla Bean Cookies
HHS Fluffy Pink TM
HHS Candy Cane Noel - This was a great peppermint scent!! I hope to get some more before Christmas perhaps!!
HHS Granma's Monkey Farts
Slatkin Marshmallow Fireside
OLC Harvest

LCP Stella's Bake Shop
HHS Cinnamon Cookie Dough
SMT Ice Cream Scoop Serendipity Smoothie
Village Candle Chocolate Chip Cookie
K's Kreations Twisted Peppermint
HHS Granma's Keylime ZB

HHS Raspberry Zinger - Mixed this and Granma's Keylime ZB together.  Perhaps a new blend idea??? Because it was really good together!


Have a great week everyone!!

What I Have Melted Plus NEW ORDER!

Good afternoon fellow waxies!!

The week has FLOWN BY!  

I work in retail/grocery, and probably in the first time since I was sixteen, I have had the ENTIRE WEEKEND OFF!! I have forgotten what that feels like!! I love it!! I probably won't be so lucky again the next schedule, but I have enjoyed luxuriously lounging around in my PJ's instead of rushing crowds of people through my line.  Woohoo!

What shows do you all watch?  I have been watching episodes on Cucirca because I don't have cable and this is the only way to watch my shows!! I follow/watch: 2 Broke Girls, Castle, Covert Affairs, Drop Dead Diva, Grey's Anatomy, Necessary Roughness, Orphan Black, Revenge, Rizzoli & Isles, Switched at Birth, The Big Bang Theory, and The Carrie Diaries.  This site is perfect, because it updates within 24 hours within when the episode aired on cable/TV.  Plus NO COMMERCIALS!! 

OK, so this week, I have placed a HHS order!! I still need to figure out how to use my gift certificate, but here is what I am planning on getting!! 

HHS ORDER: 

Tart Brittle Pistachio Coconut Fluff Tart Brittle Granmas Monkey Farts Prim Words Vanilla Butter Fudge Twinkies Granmas Spiced Apples & Peaches Pink Cotton Candy Ice Cream Scoop Dough Bread Toasted Bubble Gum Cotton Candy Lemon Drop Ice Cream Scoop Dough Bread Granmas Peppermint Fluff Granmas Apricot Zucchini Bread Creamy Vanilla Nutmeg Pink Noel 2oz TART CUPS Country Chic Sweet Potatoes & Brown Sugar Granmas Pumpkin Blueberry Vanilla Sandalwood

Free Six Packs:

1)Buttermilk Pancakes/New Sugar Cookie

2) Pink Cake Batter Ice Cream

3) Pink Lavender/Whipped ICSDB

I am so excited about these!! Pink Cotton Candy ICSDB, is so me!! I have to refill my Pink Noel brittle bag. AND I FINALLY GET MY PRECIOUS PISTACHIO COCONUT FLUFF!! YAYYYYY!! And my precious Granma's Monkey Farts too!! I love them both!! I love Country Chic as well, but I want to test it out to see how well it does in wax! If it throws well, it'll be a reorder for sure! And I can't wait to try Vanilla Sandalwood, Granma's Pumpkin Blueberry, and Sweet Potatoes & Brown Sugar!! I am hoping that Creamy Vanilla Nutmeg is the dupe for Slatkin's that they discontinued a few years back!! I love that scent!! Plus I got Twinkies and Vanilla Butter Fudge to blend on my own versus in blends already!! There are just so many!! I couldn't choose!

Then there's the story of what I melted:

Melting Diary-

HHS Granma's Toasted Pumpkin Crunch- Definitely a great pumpkin scent, smooth, and creamy and good! Love it! <3 HHS Granma's Sweet Pumpkin Bread HHS Cinnamon Vanilla HHS Granma's Amish Cinnamon Bread FP Apple Blueberry Bread- A little more apple than blueberry for me, but it's really good! JLCCW Nana's Kitchen- I love this creamy cinnamon scent!! TBG Guava Berry Gelato- FAVORITE!! Getting this in a 8oz scrub soon! Slatkin Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin HHS Fluffy Pink Toasted Marshmallow LCP Danish Butter Cookie Zucchini Bread LSC Pink Marshmallow Shortbread TBG Serendipity Cream Pie S&S Pistachio Coconut Fluff - I finally can melt some of the Pistachio Coconut Fluff I have been hoarding!! Because it's awesome! Sweet Fixations Pink Serendipity HHS Granma's Apple Cinnamon- Definitely surprised that I like this one as much as I do!! That and Granma's Pumpkin Apple Butter!! Yummmmmmmmmmm!! <3 HHS Hot Orange Danish HHS Apple Cinnamon ISCDB HHS Serendipity Noel HHS Cinnamon Noel HHS Granma's Sweet Pumpkin Bread HHS Sugar Cookie Vanilla Latte- This one I thought would be a sure-winner, but something about it seems buttery, and it's not for me. RG Watermelon Swizzle Sticks LCP Vanilla Mint Noel- Definitely one of the few mint scents I really enjoy!! Not SUPER minty, but a nice creamy mint! LCP Pink Ribbon Cookies

Have a great week everyone!! I hope to get my TBG order this next week!! So be on the lookout!!

The Week's Spoils

It's been a semi-long week.  But it's the WWEEEEKKKEENDDD!! :D

I got some great packages in this week, folks!!

First I got a package from UFGATORBUGG!  Some zucchini blends that are To DIE FOR! :D

I LOVE the cute Halloween stickers!! Sooo adorable!!

Sweet letter that accompanied the package!! 

Here is the whole thing!! Pretty on the porch! 

On the left, HHS Granma's Amish Toasted Caramel
and on the right, Sugar and Spice Butter Brickle
Gingerbread! Yum! 

Long Cane Primitives!  Left to right, top to  bottom:
Danish Butter Cookie Bread, Darn Good Orange ZB, Buttery
Gingerbread ZB, Blackberry Jam ZB, Wildberry Mousse ZB,
and Cotton Candy Twinkies ZB! 

THANK YOU UFGATORBUGG!! These are going to be taken care of very well :D :D


Second, I got my order from Streetman Candles!  SUPER FAST TAT!  I ordered Friday, and got an e-mail saying it was going to ship out Monday!! Heather (owner and tartmaker) was great with communication and everything!!

Here is the entirety of my order (minus the Spicy Onion Dip packet)

My scent shots!! From left to right, top to bottom: Pecan Bars (freebie)
Raspberry ICSB, Everything Nice, Bonfire on the Beach, Parisian
Morning, and Pumpkin Souffle

My BEAUTIFUL Bundt Cake in Lavender Sheets!

Also wanted to show anyone who was curious about these decorated
bundt cakes how HUGE they are!! I'm bad with measurements, but they are
about two scents shots high, and two, maybe one and a half wide!! BEAUTIFUL!

I LOVE My Streetman order!! I am most excited for (in scent shots) Parisian Mornings and Bonfire on the Beach.  Bonfire on the Beach is the closest dupe I've smelled for Marshmallow Fireside.  It just needs a little more marshmallow, and I think it could easily pass!! Woohoo!! Parisian Mornings smells like a beautiful bakery scent, not too heavy on anything that would make it too sweet, like maple or pecan type of scents... but I can imagine smelling this in a small cafe where they make the pastries from scratch! <3

And one more thing about Streetman's:  I was wanting to cut up my beautiful bundt cake (it's going to be SOOOO tough to do, but I'm going to try) so like a loaf, I can just take out what I want to melt and not have to worry about cutting as I melt.  So, this being said, is it better to let a big piece of wax like this, a loaf, a pie, etc, cure as one big piece of wax, that way the oils circulate to all parts of the entity, OR would it be OK to go ahead and cut it up?  Would it still be as strong??

I am TOTALLY making a HHS order tomorrow!! I have had a wishlist/need to order list made up, but as the seasons change, so do my seasonal wants!! So I probably will take off some of my pumpkin scents, as I don't melt them for very long at all!  When I make my order and send it through, I will list it here.  I am SOOOOO excited!! I'm going to finally use my gift certificate that I won from Fragrance Obsessed! WOOHOO!! :D

Another thing I have been wanting to talk about: Tags!! I have been seeing them around and I'm not sure if we are supposed to do the "tags" in a comment on the person's blog, or do the tag on our own blog as a blog entry.  So confused!! I am always incognizant to new trendy social things! :D LOL

Have a great weekend and next week!!

Long Cane Primitives

It has been an interesting week.  A few days off here and there!

So I have been putting this off, but figured I'd do all three of my "checklist" together in one post!

First, I got an awesome LCP package!!

All the pretty tarts, in all their glory!  

Butter Jam Cookies, Lemon Marshmallow,
Orange Coconut Cake, Cacao Colada, Kettle Corn,
Pink ZB, Beyond Paradise

Sweet Honeydew, Lemon Noel ZB,
Pizzelle, Bear Claws, 2 Pistachio Coconut
Zucchini Bread

Blueberry Funnel Cake, Black Raspberry Vanilla, Caramel
Apple Funnel Cake, Orange Sherbert, Buttery Cake Bites, Orange
Cotton Candy, 4 Pistachio Coconut Fluff, and Pistachio Coconut
Zucchini Bread

Pretty Bundt Cakes in Cotton Candy Marshmallow and
Lemon Marshmallow

LOOK HOW PRETTY!! Pretty Bundt Cake!!! The detail! 

I think these are ADORABLE!! To me, they look like hearts with
those little bows that are tied on baby-booties when you
take them home from the hospital!! So cute <3

I got the cute hearts above in Pink Ribbon Cookies and Vanilla
Mint Noel!! 

THEN I made a Streetman order!! I had won a gift certificate about a month ago for $20 and JUST now used it.  Yeah, I know... what a lazy wax bum.

I ordered a 10oz decorated bundt cake in Lavender Sheets, scent shots in Parisian Morning, Pumpkin Souffle, Everything Nice, Bonfire on the Beach, and Raspberry Ice Cream Scoop Dough Bread.  And I also got a Spicy Onion Dip packet!! That's definitely different and I can't wait to try it!


Here is my Melting Diary for the week!! A little shorter than normal, but I've been lazy and had some favorites too!

HHS Pink Pineapple Orchid
Slatkin Marshmallow Fireside LOVE
S&S Marshmallow Fireside- I don't know if I had this one for too long, but it didn't produce much of a noticeable throw that I've come to expect from S&S.  I have had this one since April so maybe that had something to do with it?
HHS Cherry BubbleGum
HHS Granma's Vanilla Bean Cookies
BL Mystery chunk
FP Tropical Island Marshmallow
Shayz Pink Raspberry Macaroon - This one was very nice!! I've been iffy on raspberry scents but I'd definitely order again!!
CBV Pumpkin Eggnog
Slatkin Pumpkin Carving
CBV Feathers Everywhere- This one surprised me!  I really liked this one!! Smelled like a down comforter.  That kind of clean and airy but without the industrial solvent smell!  Wonderful <3
Shayz Pink Fire
HHS Cinnamon Vanilla
Can-Do White Cherry Blossom- Let me go ahead and say I am not a huge floral fan!  But this one is nice and soft, while lasting!  It's really pretty and now I'm debating ordering from Can-Do!
HHS Granma's Pumpkin Apple Butter ZB
HHS Granma's Apple Cinnamon ZB
HHS Cinnamon Noel
BH&G Ginger Spice Cake- This is the only Wal-Mart candle that I love!! The other ones I don't even look at because none could hold a candle (yes I know, haha) to this scent!! So warm and comforting, and I don't even mind that it tunnels a little bit!
LCP Isles of Serendipity

So I've been seeing everything PUMPKIN lately!! Pumpkin Cupcakes, Pumpkin Cake, Pumpkin Cookies, Pumpkin muffins, Pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin crepes, pumpkin coffee, pumpkin frappacinos, pumpkin coolatas, I mean, the list can go on and on!  What has been the best pumpkin thing you have tried this year?? What do you WANT to try that you haven't yet?  I am dying to make Pumpkin Oatmeal and Crockpot Pumpkin Cake!  Pumpkin Crepes is definitely something I'm thinking about too!  I've already had a Pumpkin White Chocolate Coolata from Dunkin Donuts that was yummy!

Sound off below!! Have a great week everyone!

Buggytown- Blueberry Cheesecake
HHS Granma's Sweet Pumpkin Bread
Buggytown Peach Honey
TBG White Chocolate Fudge & Rock Candy
TBG Lemon Curd & Rose Milk - This was a great scent!! I had hesitations about the Rose Milk, but this was a great combination and I'd love to get this in a scrub! Great in bodycare, I think!
