  1. Good Afternoon! I decided that, after coming in from outside, I actually could smell the Falling Leaves by CSFH and wasn't liking it much (weirdly perfumy). I'm actually not sure if I even have the correct scent name, because unfortunately, many of her labels have fallen off the bags, and when I dig in the box I have to make my best guess of matching them up. That was something very nice about Carol's bags, she always double bagged them and put the label on the inside one so you couldn't lose it. I changed to Fall on the Farm by CFTKR - the scent sounds so lovely: falling leaves on the farm from all the old trees, dropping in to the berry patches, apple trees, with a hint of mandarin, and cinnamon sticks. I'll let ya know if it lives up to its' description In the kids' bathrooms I put Hayride by OPT In my room is Harvest by Missy's Tempting Tarts Probably add some candles this evening. It's 74 now, but supposed to get in the 30's tonite! Brrrr for Florida! I always worry for the pets left outside, especially around here they are not used to these kinds of temps!
  2. Good Morning! Boy, having Monday off from school sure does throw me off! I know all day today I will be thinking it IS Monday. This morning I am re-running my warmers from yesterday afternoon Falling Leaves by Candles Scent From Heaven I didn't notice much throw yesterday, same thing this morning, do you think it could be because they are from 2011? I'm pretty sure they are paraffin and I thought those held their scent. I'll probably change them out and add some candles when I get back from morning errands.
  3. Good Evening CandleFinders! Thanks for all the birthday wishes! I don't really celebrate, but it was nice to see all of your thoughtful posts. I'm still working on the same candles (on a mission to clear them down before it's time for winter scents!) I added a couple of tarts in my room and bathroom for the night, Full Moon by unknown vendor . . . it was very old, the cup was deteriorating badly. Unfortunately, I ended up dumping it because I couldn't smell anything from it at all. Since one of my dogs (nick-named Farticus) has been snoozing in my room, I needed something strong, so I went with Glade's Fall Hayride, which should do the trick, as I found this scent to be particularly strong in tart form. Enjoy the rest of your evening!
  4. I thought I'd see if I can resurrect this thread because it's such a I love hearing what everyone is using. I just got out of the shower with Lathers and Lights products Shower creme, Sugar scrub, Lotion and perfume, all in Karma-Kazi I really like it! It's from their "Lushious" collection, here's the scent description: A powdery blend of dragon's blood and patchouli enhanced with citrus and herbs. *Lushious collection*
  5. TGIF Everyone! I hope your weekend is off to a good start. Long weekend, too! I must say, it smells REALLY GOOD in my house this evening! In the warmers: Autumn Magic by CFTKR in 4 warmers, living area/kitchen Indian Summer by Delightful Scents in my room Vanilla I-Scream by Scentsationals in the bathrooms Candles: Blueberry Pumpkin Patch by BBW (love this, it's about half gone) Pumpkin Pie Spice by Glade True Fall Splendor by BH&G Have a wonderful evening!
  6. Enjoying some nice candles this evening: True Fall Splendor by BH&G Warm Rustic Woods by BH&G Fireside by B&BW Autumn Leaves by the Candle Cottage and on deck for my room and bathroom when I put the candles out: Cherry Berry Cheesecake by VDC Have a good night, everyone!
  7. Cracklin' Birch by OPT in the majority of the warmers A really old tart from Front Porch - Patchouli - not much smell left Autumn Leaves candle by Candle Cottage Applewood Bonfire candle by BBW Merlin's Forest by CFTKR still going in DS room Just put the candles out to go in the school pickup line, I'll add some when I get back, but the roast in the crock pot is competing! I am a vegetarian and do NOT like the smell of meat. ugh
  8. Be sure you're on the mailing list - they sent me a code for 25% off any online order AND free shipping so I ended up getting the candles for $8.25 INCLUDING shipping!
  9. You guys did me in with the Champagne Toast talk! lol I just ordered from BBW, and getting one! :D Tonight I am burning a couple of candles, Orange Cinnamon by Village and the final burn of Gourmet Spice by Country Living Have a great evening
  10. Happy Sunday! Did everyone enjoy their extra hour of sleep? I got up the same time, the clock just said one hour earlier tho. lol At least I didn't have to go out with dogs in the dark! I finished my Autumn Day candle by BBW I have Falling Autumn Leaves by Shayz Scents all over my house, it's a I *thought* I had All Hallow's Eve (vendor unknown, a sample from somewhere, Backroad Hobbies maybe?) melting in my room, but I just went back there and it wasn't melting. There's no on/off light on that warmer, so I end up doing that a lot
  11. I sure did! (as you can see I like to match things up) I got scrub, lotion & spray in 1. Pink Patchouli 2. English Cathedral 3. Naughty or Nice? the first 2 I have perfume of already Have you tried the souffle scrubs before? I went with the foaming because I've tried and liked them (the souffle said it kind of turns into lotion?) I didn't try any tarts, does she usually have tarts? I saw up to 45 day TAT - did you get in early?
  12. Added 2 tarts to the line-up: Eucalyptus Spearmint by Nene's in my bathroom Jonathan Apple also by Nene's in my bedroom And I'm enjoying 2 candles this evening: Autumn Day by BBW and Autumn Leaves by Candle Cottage River, I went to Walmonster after dropping my son off this morning, in the pouring rain, and it was a mob scene in there! Candy (and Halloween decorations) were 50% off but by 7:30 am there was no good chocolate left . . . just the junky "kids" candies. ugh Oh, and they had Christmas candies out already. Rushing things much?
  13. Gloomy Nov. 1st here too! but you know what that means!? CANDLE BURNING WEATHER! see how fast that gloom turned around? ;) Actually, I only have some tarts on for now because I have to leave to pick up DS in less than an hour, THEN it will be candle time! Autumn Leaves by OPT in 4 warmers Fall Hayride by Glade in 2 warmers Ginger Peach also by OPT in 1 warmer Merlin's Forest by CFTKR in DS room :wub: Oh, how I love waxy smellies!
  14. Love the thread title, Trep! I just put on a couple of warmers for the morning, (re-run from yesterday) until I get back from errands and school drop-off, but I wanted to ask Debra, how do you like Dark Candles? Do you use the wax melts? Such an interesting site, right up my alley, wondering how they throw. Oh, and one of my morning *errands* is to hit the store and score some miniature candy bars, hopefully on day-after-Halloween clearance!l
  15. Greetings, Kermit! This is a great bunch of wax-lovers here, I think you will like it. We are very glad to have you
  16. It's one of those weird days where it's considerably colder in my house than outside (my thermostat says 82 outside and 75 in the house!?) Since I'll be home all morning (finishing the Box Tops project), I decided to do lots of candles: Mulled Cider by Village Candles Gourmet Spice by Country Living Apples & Spice by Scent Beads Marrakesh Spice Market by Colonial Candles in the warmers: Spiced Apple & Clove by BH&G Candy Corn by ScentSationals Pumpkin Cheesecake by Country Chunkie (thanks CF) does it ever smell good in here! Next to beachy, these fall apple/spice scents are my favorite! * * * * * * * On kind of a sad note . . this is the first time in over 20 years that we have not gone "trick or treating". Out of the kids still at home, my DD is going to a party, my older DS (16) is over 6 feet tall, and my youngest DS (12) said "none of his friends are going" . . .
  17. Black Friday comes super early again this year at CocoaPink and to celebrate we have a great sale planned for you! We will have 30% off all purchases on Friday, November 1, 2013 through Sunday, November 3, 2013.

Just shop and save, once you are ready to checkout, your cart will reflect the discount automatically. In addition to the discounts, CocoaPink will offer two holiday gift sets. One will be a Tart Set where you can choose 5 tarts from a list of 10 available scents. The other set will be a set of Lip Balms, these will be in predetermined scents, but you will receive 4 in your set. We are also opening up the scent list for your chance to order any scent you want on our Black Friday scent list excluding Solid Junkets, UnderArm Candy deodorant, facial products and Meows, which will not be available in custom scents.

  18. Good Afternoon! Laundry & vacuuming done, mac & cheese in the crock pot, and about to get to work on my Box Tops for Education packaging (I'm the coordinator) No candles at the moment, because I am enjoying Potpourri Spice by Sniff My tarts way too much! It's Are they still in business, does anyone know? I might need more of these
  19. Just put on Indian Paintbrush by Cheryl's Have had this one for a long while and never knew what it smelled like (it was sealed/wrapped) I'll put on some candles when I get home for the day I concur with you guys on BBW's Blueberry Pumpkin Patch - it's a little outside my regular box, but I love it!

    Hi :)

    April! and I think you will really like it here! Nice to meet you
  21. Haunted Hayride by ScentSationals I absolutely LOVE this ! ! [eta] I lit the Darkened Ginger candle by Root that I just got, oh man, it is filling my kitchen!!
  22. I've been re-warming my Thankful by CFTKR in the warmers and burning my YC Autumn Wreath. I've been baking, graveyard cupcakes and witch's fingers for our annual Halloween get-together. I'll probably change everything out after dinner this evening. TGIF, Everyone!
  23. It was beautifully chilly this morning, so much so, in fact, that I was inspired to make some crockpot chili! (vegetarian, of course) YUMMO Because I'm SO happy to have cool weather, today's tart (all over the house) was Thankful by CFTKR I had planned to light a candle this evening, but I'm just too pooped. Have a good night
  24. Good Morning! I am re-running yesterday's melts, and it will be awhile before I get back from errands and eye dr. appointment to change them out. Amber Romance VS type by Aunt Nenas (this was another one that did NOT hold up over time, disintegrated cups !) Yesterday I burned a candle in Black Tea & Amber by Bella Rosa and it smelled HEAVENLY, but, woe is me, it had the darned drowning wicks (3-wicked). why, why, why?? Also still worked on my Fall Hayride candle by Glade Mango Mandarin Madness in my room and bathroom Raspberry Fizz in DS room (have I mentioned how much I LOVE the ScentSational Outlet? great deal and cheap shipping - I think it's around $4.95 flat) Have a great day, everyone!
  25. Good Morning! Debra, I'm so sorry to read that you broke your arm - owie! I hope you have a speedy recovery! This weekend I went to my friend's funeral (my animal rescuer friend), I am still having a hard time realizing I will never get another text or call from her. The rest of the weekend was spent finishing the Halloween decorations and getting the final to-do list together for the annual Halloween party. This all started with my oldest DD and now that she's living out-of-state, it's just not the same, I sure do miss her! I honestly didn't get a lot of melting done over the weekend, finished a bag from OPT of Orange Pomander Spice. I don't know if it's me, or these just lost their scent over time, but they are have not been huge throwers. Once I get the kids off to school, I will change everything out and maybe burn some candles while I'm home. Happy Monday, everyone!
