April Showers of Scents

[April Showers of Scents]

Great thread title, Trep!

 

Melting TDC Lavender Lemongrass. It's fresh and almost laundry-ish, which is good 'cuz I just hauled a bunch of old boxes of clock and lamp parts from my dad's storage into my living room to sort them out, and it was beginning to smell a tad musty in here

[March Melting Madness]

Happy Easter! We were supposed to wake up to rain showers, but so far it's been all sunshine.

 

Burning YC Vanilla Lime. Good throw for a Yankee votive.

[March Melting Madness]

Rivercat - Have U tried her Barista, Cafe Au Lait Shake or Juan's Burro Ride?

 

Sweet, I've tried Juan's and Barista. Juan's is exactly as advertised: fresh coffee with hints of cinnamon and cream, strong throw. Barista is creamier and lighter. I have Cafe au Lait Shake but haven't melted it yet, though I get good vanilla "shake" notes on cold sniff. Hazelnut Coffee was probably the lightest throw, and a little spicier than the others.

 

Tonight melting Wylde Ivy Spice Trader.

 

Hope everyone is having a good holiday weekend. I've eaten far too much candy already

[March Melting Madness]

I finally cut into one of my Streetman chunky monkeys...oh my goodness...

 

It's Slam Dunk and it's a SLAM DUNK! I wasn't a fan when it first arrived...the cold sniff was a bit yeasty to me. I am so pleasantly surprised after letting them cure. It smells exactly like walking into a Donut Shop....the coffee and a background of sweetness. No bite to the coffee scent at all...very smooth. When she reopens I am stockpiling. I wish I didn't use all of it at once. Grrr.

 

Maggie, I have a scent shot of this and am waiting for the bakery mood to strike to try it out! I like her coffee scents that I've tried so far.

 

Melting Scentsy Cherry Limeade this evening, as my lime obsession continues.

 

Off to have a big glass of wine & relax. Cheers!

Burning: Pink Grapefruit Blossom, votive by Root.

 

Gosh, haven't seen Root anywhere since our local candle specialty shop closed a few years ago They had some nice ones.

 

I've been caught up with a trade show this week and getting home too late most nights to bother lighting anything, but tonight melting YC Vanilla Satin.

 

Happy Birthday to Ladylcl3 and Mpfand!

[March Melting Madness]

Yay! Debra, Please post puppy details as soon as you can

 

Melting Streetman Lime Passion (again). I can't seem to get enough lime these days

 

Happy Friday!

[March Melting Madness]

So.....who's opening their windows to let the fresh air in on this 1st day of spring?

 

We finally got some rain last night and today and I was soooo hoping for another chilly, cozy day, but nope. Windows are all open a little.

 

Melting TDC Earth Angel--a low-key sandalwood

 

Have a good evening!

[March Melting Madness]

Thanks, Maggie!

 

Melting Streetman Long Island Limeade... such a cheerful scent

 

Have a good evening, all!

[March Melting Madness]

Much drama this weekend with one close friend who lost a job, and then a health scare with my stepdad's mom, who seems to be ok now, thankfully!

 

I'm too tired to make an inspired scent choice, so burning the last of a YC Driftwood votive and heading off to bed soon.

 

G'night, all!

[March Melting Madness]

Debra--Hope you feel better soon!

 

I feel completely unprepared for St. Patrick's Day this year. I haven't even had my annual Shamrock Shake yet!

 

Melting Streetman Lime Passion... green in concept if not in actual color

[March Melting Madness]

Hello everyone!

 

Melting TDC Ginger Ale... smells sweet and bubbly and happy

[March Melting Madness]

Melting YC Sage and Citrus and Golden Sands..love them both!

 

I've been burning Golden Sands for the past two evenings. Light, but pleasant!

 

Have a good evening :D

[March Melting Madness]

Good evening! So weird and light out... I feel like I ditched work early LOL

 

Melting Streetman Coconut & Lime--I've really enjoyed all her lime scents that I've tried so far.

[March Melting Madness]

I've mostly been burning Yankee candles lately. A couple of votives in Fruit Fusion. Not much throw, but they're only wee votives. The large tumbler in Honeydew Melon is fabulous!

 

Gail, some people on YouTube suggested cutting up votives with so-so throw and melting them like tarts. I've tried it with a few "meh" Yankees so far, and it has worked pretty well.

 

We're having a nice, warmish evening here so I'm burning a soy candle I found at Target in a pretty cobalt blue jar, not sure of the brand: Blue Agave and Bamboo. It has a light, kind of effervescent scent so far. Not bad.

[March Melting Madness]

 

Melting Long Island Limeade from Streetman. Not very strong so far, but it just started up.

 

Aria--I just got my first order from Streetman last month and really like everything so far. I love the snap sticks idea

 

Have a good evening!

[March Melting Madness]

Debra--I love wild webcams One of my faves is the manatee cam at Blue Springs in Florida, though they're only there when the ocean water is too cold.

 

Melting Nightfall from Universal Voodoo 'cuz it's a chilly, gloomy evening here :D

[March Melting Madness]

Thanks, Maggie! The Claritin has kicked in and I'm feeling much better today.

 

Candlelove, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's mom. Get some rest!

 

Burning YC Warm Woolen Mittens.

[March Melting Madness]

Howdy everyone!

 

Our brief spurt of warm weather brought out the POLLEN so my allergies were going crazy this weekend. It's supposed to start raining tomorrow, though, which ought to clear the air a bit

 

Melting a tiny chunk of YC Holiday Snow.

[March Melting Madness]

Candlelove--I like Vanilla Satin way more than I expected to. Wish I'd bought more when it was on sale at BB&B!

 

Melting Tapestry from Universal Voodoo

 

Have a good weekend!

[Sweet Tarts of February]

Burning a YC Driftwood votive tonight--meh as a scent, but I didn't want to light up anything that was going to compete with dinner.

 

Sweet--we are in full lamb mode in CA. I think it has rained twice in the past two months and not much change for the foreseeable future. Where's my winter? I still have cozy scents to burn up, darn it!

[Sweet Tarts of February]

Hi all! Took a couple days off from burning to clear the place out.

 

Tonight I am melting Lime Passion from Streetman.

 

Jedda-thanks for the description of Myrtle Beach! I heard someone mention it but couldn't imagine what it might be.

[Hi wax addicts!]

Hi Liz!

[Sweet Tarts of February]

Hi all!

 

Melting Scentsy Coconut Lemongrass

[Sweet Tarts of February]

Happy Friday! Why do short weeks seem even longer than regular ones?

 

Shorty--Dusty Mexican Morning sounds nice!

 

Just popped SS Mountain Twilight in the burner.

 

My first-ever Streetman order was waiting on the doorstep when I got home! Everything smells amazing

[Sweet Tarts of February]

Rivercat - did you find some "new flavors" at the outlet? I often find all kinds of unusual scents/labels when I go to the candle outlet stores.

 

Debra--Yes! They had all kinds of wacky things I hadn't seen before. Very glad the YC outlet is much closer to me than the nearest retail store so the damage isn't quite as bad as it could be

 

It snowed on the peaks around here today! So pretty Burning YC Let it Snow in celebration.
