    Can you believe that the Ho Ho Mistletoe is still going? Surprised me too. ; )

     

    I am also burning a Mia Bella Coffeebreak in the Family room. I was burning K's Snowangels, but it isn't burning correctly(I think it might be because of the glitter)-so I snuffed it.

    I also had some(okay-laugh if you want to) incense going in the kitchen a while ago. It is called "Innocent" by Hem. It is an import from India and was a gift from my best friend.

     

    Just an update on the new oil warmer,nightlights-

     

    I did put one in the powder room, and it is doing a lot better- I have just left it on and can smell the twisted peppermint in there when I go in. DH can smell it too, and commented on how nice the room smelled with it in there. Now, mind you-it doesn't blow you out the door, but it is nice and consistent. More like having a wallflower in there.

    Debra-

    Yes it is, and I used straight oil that I ordered with it. Nada. Switched to BBW Twisted Peppermint-got some scent for a while, not bowl you over-but at least it was there. Then decided to experiment with some soy melts-chipped off a little bit and threw it in to see if I could get any sort of melt. Looked like soft mush after a few hours, no throw.

     

    So I have moved it to the smallest powder room to see if I can get something in there. I am going to check with the manufacturer to see if there is an alternative-I am thinking that I can probably still use the bowl on a different socket...

    Boogie-

    I am not sorry I asked, glad I could help you vent! ; )

     

    The new oil burner, while cute-is not throwing a smell at all! : (

    The bulb is only a 4 watt-not even hot enough to do more than warm the bowl-its only rated for 7 max! Any suggestions? I love the look of the darn thing, but am wondering what I could use to get some aroma out there...

     

    At any rate- DH has something going that smells like pancakes, and try as I might-can't find it??...

    I am not sure what I am going to put on, maybe some peppermint to cut that maple out..

    Evening all-

    Can you believe this-I got my oil burners today! WOW! 2 days from order to in home-I love it!

     

    DH was fiddling with it, trying to turn the pot around and DROPPED it! Luckily, for him, no breakage! I can still see it all in slow mo...

     

    Anyway, I just put it on and will report on the smell later on-I got one called Rain Forest...

     

    Waving to Boogie-did you have a good holiday?

    Debra-

    Maybe I should start working on commission : )!

    That is too funny, but they are so cute! I am glad we could help her out. I can't wait to try her oil out. I got a shipping confirmation an hour after I ordered, so I am very impressed so far!

     

    Did you get yours ordered before the sell out?

     

    Today I have Fireside from Nene's on, and Snow Clouds from PI. Smells dreamy in here...

    Good Morning-

    I am trying Pink Sugar this morning, along with my new Peppermint oil. I just found the cutest night light plug in style oil warmers(I am finding that I do not care for the tealight oil warmer-it just doesn't last like I want). So, of course, I ordered it this morning-along with some of their oil.

     

    See what happens,give me a little money for Christmas and I never even make it out of the house to spend it! Anyway-here is the link for it. They are only 5 bucks! That is a virtual steal!

    Afternoon All-

    I am burning and melting everything but the kitchen sink today! I have snow angels(K's) in the kitchen, purely pear(Nene's) in the dining room, and Pumpkin Cheesecake(Mia Bella) in the family room.

     

    You wouldn't think the combo would be good, but it's okay.

     

    I am just ready to get some of my newbies in the house... I have an order from Illuminescents on the way-anyone got any opinions on this one? I also have an order from Country Aromas-anyone know on this one?

     

    I just picked a couple that I had never heard mentioned and ran with it.

    Hope you all had a lovely holiday.

    Hi all-

     

    Thanks for the recipe MP-I got the stuff to make it today. The hot fudge brownie smells like a strong chocolate, haven't melted but will let you know how sweet it ends up being.

     

    Smellycat- I do adore the clean/florals as well. I really melt just about anything, depending on my mood. Fresh Linen is on my alltime favorites along with Lavendar Vanilla.

    I just got an order from K's Kreations with Snow Angels, Snow Drops, and Refreshing...

     

    Mom- You are not alone. I have been through 3 tarts and 2 candles today. Started with Cinnamon Apple-Mia Bella Melts this morning. Wasn't in the mood-poured it out.

    Switched to Buttercream Crunch from WNS-it only lasted about 2 hours! Put on Red velvet Cake-CHC-it only lasted a couple of hours! (what is up here?) Decided enough of the melts and lit K's Snow Angels-it's nice, but not strong enough for me today. So I have a pumpkin cheesecake from Mia Bella on now, and its strong-but I guess I am just not in the mood for bakery AT ALL today!!

    Talk about hard to please!LOL!

    Have a good evening and a fab weekend!

    Happy Holidays to everyone!

    Just put on Sugared Spruce-CHC. Should be doing some housework myself,I have over 20 people coming for dinner on Tuesday. Anybody got any good Mexican Food Recipes? We are doing a Mexican Potluck for dinner,not sure what all I want to put out. I am doing tacos,burritos,enchiladas,sopapillas,beans,rice, and Nachos.

     

    It should be fun!

     

    Donna sent me some freebies in my order that I probably never would have ordered, but I think I might end up liking them. Mulberry and Hot Fudge Brownies...very strong.

    Afternoon-

    I have Winter Morning from Nene on today.

     

    Mom-

    I did order tarts and candles from K's- I got snow drops in the tarts and Snow Angels and Refreshing in the candles. Anyone seeing a pattern in my orders here???

     

    Boogie-

    I'll bet your cadet will have a wonderful time in Mexico. Ours are trying to decide what their "final" trip will be, they have raised so much money-they could probably make it to the moon!!! Lol!

    Boogie-

    They have asked me to lead and I have also declined. I will work alongside and help out as much as I can, but just cannot make that big of a commitment. My 14 year old has also been involved with scouts since daisies, so I guess that is why both of my 7 year olds begged to start as soon as they were able. I am sure the 3 year old will probably follow, as she loves going to all of the events and meetings(even if it is just to pick up and drop off the girls).

     

    I think it really helps them learn about teamwork and respect. I am for anything that helps me teach them these things.

     

    So lets talk about what scents I am melting today...

     

    Nene's Hayride-not a keeper for me, but DH loved it. It is very strong, but not one that I particularly cared for. I will probably keep it on hand for him though.

    Mommy-

    I guess I was thinking of Frizz's House of Tarts.Hmmm...

     

    Having so many choices on where to shop is also our biggest downfall, isn't it? There is always somewhere new to try, and try as I might-I will never get through all of the shops in the world! At least not with my credit card! Lol!

     

    I do appreciate that everyone has a different sense of what they love, it gives me ideas that I might not have thought of. We also find those little diamonds when we share our favorites, and sometimes our least favorites. Someone will usually end up loving those as well.

     

    Any way-have a great night all and happy melting!

    Mommy-

    I am glad you got them-just to let you know, that is original packaging from this maker. I just put them straight in the tin. I hope things go well on some of the others.

    Hop over to the Q board and read the review thread for this tart that was just posted in the last few days...

    Interesting reading.

    Isn't House of Tarts based in Canada? I haven't ordered from them yet, but may consider it after the holidays.

     

     

    Okay guys I had to change that Cupcake tart-not strong enough for me. I am now melting Christmas Essence from Mia Bella-I put 2 melts in the melter. I hope it doesn't run me out of the house,this one is that strong!!!

    Your families are cracking me up! I let each of my girls pick a tart on each order, then they get to burn it whenever they want(well-I put it in when they are ready to melt it). We have quite the adventure trying new scents and each of us has our favorites. We just stick it out when one is on that we don't like. Of course, you all know by now that my hubby is getting as bad as me lately-so he doesn't mind.

     

    At any rate, I am melting Angel Food Cupcake from Nene's. This has a very light throw...

    Hi all-

    Been so busy today it's a wonder I have melted anything. I melted Sweet Snow Pine from Nene's and burned Snow Clouds from PI.

     

    I do like the Snow Clouds and am curious-is it a limited edition Mom? I would like to be able to get another one, but not now. I am up to my eyeballs in scents.

     

    I loved my SSP from Nene's, but it did not last as long as usual-hmmm?

  23. Posted · Report reply

    Just got in and decided it was time for a little "Hippy, Hippy, Shake" from WNS. This one did not smell great cold, but it has a strong throw and is a pleasant surprise when melted.

     

    I think it is worth a reorder. Of course I am set for a long while- I have 20 on the way from CHC.

     

    Mom-

    I also ordered from K's yesterday. I just got a couple of 10 oz. jars and some melts. So I hope they are as good as they sounded. I ordered Snow Angels and Refreshing.

    I am done ordering for a while.

     

    Good evening and happy burning/melting.
