Celebrating our "Scentipendance" with...

[debra99 2]

Greetings and Happy 4th!

 

Been away for a couple days, had a 90 year old relative that developed an irregular heart rhythm, no other family members in town. Off to the ED to have an electrical cardioversion. What a trooper - she had never been in the hospital before!!!! She is doing great...so time to get back to the melter.

 

Cat - which one did you end up getting? Aren't they fun to use?

 

Tonight is:

Sugar pears and vanilla cream - Sinful Sweets (But I notice the non B&B is now at Black Crow)

Cranberry Ginger Spiced Tea from Beth's Boutique

Lemongrass candle from Waxing Moon

Oh - Cat - just saw it on the other thread. That's a good one!

I ordered 1 pack of flutted tarts and the others were the muffins.

 

I was disappointed in the muffins and some had no more wax than the fluted and some did but the price was higher (to be expected) and the lower shipping does not apply, because they take up more room....yet were sent in a large box with more paper than product so that didn't make sense to me.

 

The other thing that bothered me was that I got a Floral sampler and an Earthy sampler. the 2 samplers were in separate bags, but all the florals were just put in the bag and not wrapped separately so the rose scent, lavender, etc were just together. The same with the other sampler. I like my scents to be separated. It was hard to smell anything individual.

 

For my nose I did not get a huge throw, yet used 2 tarts. The Satsuma was more just an orange scent to me. The Caribbean Kisses was well.....just plain old light tropical. Also the imbeds did not melt in some of them.

 

Today I tried the Green Leaves in the fluted and I was much happier. The throw is moderate and the scent quite nice. I tried a fluted freebie in Island Spa, but it smelled like Fresh Linen and did not appeal to me.

 

They are cute....but I would rather have a little stronger scent and longer melt time.

 

However, they may be to your liking and I hope so.

 

Interesting - Thanks so much for sharing all of that. We'll see what happens. I only ordered clamshell packs - four of them maybe? So nothing fancy and nothing that can get mixed up, I hope. I'll melt them with an open mind, but something tells me already this may be a one-hit wonder order from me.

 

Especially after getting another Candle Haven order in the mail today - That Lessie is a tough act to follow!! Currently melting her Bananas and Blossoms - YUM (and I'm not even a banana fan normally

Finally hit on something for the evening - Caramel Popcorn from HoT.

Tonight it's Root Beer Granita Float from Crosscreek, American Cream from Bella's (this one almost smells like beer to me), Cotton Candy from Brown Bag and Vanilla Waffle Cone from Tuscadero's. My house smells very sweet but good!

 

Heidi, I'm so glad to hear the good news about Gage. And debra, I hope your relative continues to do well!!

Tonight its Can-Do Honeysuckle in the Living Room, and an oldie that I found in my basket, YC Sugarcane & Vanilla. I have never smelled a Vanilla scent I like, its always too strong, but this was actually nice.

Happy fourth! For work I melted Candle Haven's Blueberry Pancakes (sample with yesterday's order)....yum! I may skip the melts for the rest of the day since my husband is home and wants to pain my daughter's room - Won't really be able to play with scents today. I can probably get away with something later on when work is done and we grill and jump in the pool maybe.

 

Have a great day!!!!

[debra99 2]

I hope you all have a safe 4th!

 

Cat - you have me using my plug-ins again. I seem to go in spells.

 

Plug-in 1: Candledippers oil: Color my World

Plug-in 2: Pebble Creek soy beads (perfect for these melters) Beach Walk

 

And because I can never throw anything away without trying it:

Olde South Lemon in the melter - probably 3 years old?

[Candlefind Placeholder 3]

Getting a late start melting today.

 

HAPPY 4th everyone

 

In the living room it is LOL's Apple Peel and Lemon Zest and in the comp room it is BusyBee's Strawberry Jam.
