Tarts from Carol:
Decadent Lemon Bars - very decadent!!!
I just ordered this scent - glad to hear that it's good!
I'm melting BRH 'Pumpkin Pecan Waffles' and I'm not sure if I like it. I don't like the fake 'nut' smell, but it seems to be fading. I can smell the bakery notes more clearly now that it is completely melted.
-
Sugared Melon Kiwi from BH&G..terrific
I agree 100% - I was afraid that it would be too light, but it is turning out to be one of my favorite fruity scents right now. I think I'll throw a cube on in the livingroom, since the Apple Mango Tango I melted earlier has finally died down.
-
I've got BRH "Apple Mango Tango type" melting in the living room.
I'm about to stick PFS "Banana Nut Bread" in the kitchen.
Yum - the house smells delicious!
-
Starting off with BRH Tooth Fairy Taffy.
I like this scent, but it is SO sweet. I really have to be in the mood for it.
-
I'm starting the day with a remelt of Haley's Apple Jack and Peel and it smells LOVELY! Fresh and crisp, and warm and cozy all at the same time. We're going on 15 hours with this one, so it's starting to get a bit weak. Not sure how much longer it'll last.
Later, I'll swap it for something bright and tropical... I've got a bunch of YC Fruit Salad (found 'em yesterday, hidden away from last summer!) so I might go with that.
-
Tonight it's a Slatkin Pineapple Mango candle in the bathroom, and Haley's Country Breeze is melting in the bedroom.
In the livingroom I have a Marshmallow Fluff candle from Dollar General (of all places!) The scent is delish, but the throw isn't stellar. For $1, I'm not shocked. It's a small jar, about the size of a large votive, and I can really only smell it within a 4 foot radius.
-
I've owned a convertible. It was an big old baby blue Buick Skylark that made me feel like I was Thelma or Louise. sniff sniff I miss that car.
...but I've never...
hired a housekeeper
been to Iowa or Missouri
drank Redbull
I've been to both Iowa and Missouri, many times.
And I drank more than my fair share of Redbull during those early-mommy days.
I've worked as a housekeeper (during college) and I had to hire additional staff when the hotel got busy in the summer... does that count? I've never hired anyone to clean my own house...
I've never:
eaten mussels without gagging
worn green nailpolish
hired a housekeeper of my own
-
I love them, too! The Warm Apple Pie is scrumptious! Just be sure you get the 3 wick ones!
Lynn
I agree - I thought that the $5 jar candles were a better deal, but they just weren't. Sure, they were larger, but the throw was weaker, and they tunneled. I had to babysit them quite a bit, and ultimately used them on a warmer plate. I can't be bothered to fuss with smooshing wax around, constantly fixing the wick, etc.
I love the three wick ones though. They are a dream to burn.
-
YC Sun and Sand
YC Pink Sands
Plus the wonderful mish-mash aroma coming from the open tart cupboard, (and a chicken roasting in the oven! :D)
-
Patchouli <3
Ghost Munch (S&S) or Monster Munch (CCCC)
Monster munch.
Apple Jack & Peel or Crisp Green Apples?
-
Nothing melting right now... All of my melters have hard, dead wax in them, so it is time to clean 'em out. TO THE FREEZER WE GO!
I'm still working on the Great Spring (Tart) Cleaning - updating inventory, sorting into boxes, giving away what I know I'll never burn, and making a list of stuff I need to reorder.
-
I did laundry all day long yesterday. It never ends! Your tart sorting and updating sounds like a much more enjoyable pursuit. Have fun.
Laundry is almost done, so I'm moving on to the tarts!
-
Good morning everyone! Today is full of cleaning and laundry. I'm also hoping to get some updating done on my tart spreadsheet. I've got a stack of wrappers and empty cups that need to be rated and removed from inventory. :)
Starting the day off with YC 'Pink Sands'.
-
Good morning!
I'm melting Haley's "Apple Jack and Peel" in the livingroom. Offseason, but that's what I'm in the mood for. I love her version- even more than the Claire Burke candle that is is supposed to be imitating! Sometimes I guess the original isn't always the best?
-
Hi Jedda, I don't remember seeing Beach Plum, did you just get that at the Palooza sale or did you mix it up yourself?
I found the YC tarts to be hit and miss (like most other vendors), some last long, and some are over too soon.
Anyone know how long the Palooza sale is going on?
Beach plum is an older scent that was discontinued. They have brought it back in jars and tarts. The manager at our local YC store said that they are doing this with a few disc scents at a time.
I picked it up at the sale, but they have it online too.
-
This morning I've mixed the remnants of yesterdays YC melts into one burner - YC Country Lemonade and YC Vanilla Cupcake. Smells like a lemon poundcake. The Country Lemonade is still very strong, and I'd buy it again. The Vanilla Cupcake died down after a few hours, and it is really just a faint sweetness to round out the lemon tartness. On its own I can only smell it right near the burner. I don't think I'd buy this again. Lots of e-tailers sell better vanilla bakery scents...
In the kitchen I'm melting YC Beach Plum. Trying to decide if I need more of this one. It is really hard to describe. I think I like it.
-
I swapped out YC 'country lemonade' for YC 'vanilla cupcake', and it is delicious!
Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!
-
This afternoon I've got Yankee 'Country Lemonade' melting. It is a nice lemon scent, but not quite as sweet as I was hoping.
-
I just put on YC Sun and Sand. Lovely!
-
LOL Jedda on the Frankenstein mix!
When you hit up the sale (if you're going in the store) be sure and grab some of the Mixology Recipe cards, they look pretty interesting!
I'm absolutely going to the store (need to exchange some stuff at BBW, so I'll be at the mall anyway.) I need to sniff before buying.
Thanks for the tip, I'll look for the cards. I'm always mixing up my tarts - I'd love some new ideas.
-
This morning I'm melting a Frankenstein's monster mix of half-used-up tarts. I've got the big burner filled with yummies including: BHG Tahitian Coconut, BRH Vanilla Bliss, and from a mystery company- Sandalwood.
Planning to hit up the YC $1 tart sale later, so I'll swap it out later.
-
I had to swap out the livingroom burner- that BRH 'Tooth Fairy Taffy' was so strong that the entire house was scented. While I enjoyed the fragrance, I think I was getting a headache from it.
I just put on BRH 'Apple Mango Tango type' and I love it. Absolutely will reorder this one again!
-
Good morning! I'm starting my day with 'Tooth Fairy Taffy' from BRH. Smells like Bazooka bubblegum!
I'm adding a Mainstays "Vanilla" jar candle. Smells like cupcakes!
And in the bedroom Haley's Battle of the Sexes.

The Melts go Marching One by One - Hurrah, Hurrah!

I'm looking for a sweet afternoon, so I've got BRH Tooth Fairy Taffy and PFS Cotton Candy going right now.
Also melting 'winter pine', (unknown company) in my son's room, to counter the boy-funk in there. He rifled through the stash and chose this one.
