Enjoy your day!

Good Morning!

 

My current obsession is "clean laundry" scents! I love it so much! It seems to help, at least in my screwy mind - counteract the extreme SW heat right now!

 

Melting, from a CFTKR sampler- (cut in 2 and distributed among several melters) : Denim, Fresh Laundry, and Linen Breeze and 2 FABULOUS ones from Can Do- Wash Day and Line Dried Laundry. Also one lone bakery scent in the kitchen, from GHBT- Lemon Poppyseed Muffin. Burning 2 jar candles: YC Dune Grass and GC Pure Linen.

 

Have a wonderful day!

I'm melting Red Hot Beans from Can-Do. This was a freebie and I probably would not have selected it. However it has a really great scent.

 

Jules - I would love to be able to watch a shuttle launch in person. It must be a truly awesome sight.

Kim, congrats to your son! He's off to a great start.

 

I'm melting Blackberry Croissant from Bella's. It's a very nice berry scent, but I dion't detect any 'croissant'. Also have Juniper Breeze from LOL in the powder room. Hope everyone has a great day!

Hello all!!!

 

Last nights melt was the new YC Pumpkin Vanilla, and I've got 1 word for it!!!!

YUCK!!!!!!!

 

Not crazy about pumpkin to begin with, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I detecte not a trace of pumpkin, just a spicy, stinky scent.

[Guest]

Wow, it looks like a lot of us are melting bummer tarts lately. I didn't care for Country Bazaar so it's gone. I haven't decided what to replace it with yet.

[Guest]

I'm melting Ashman's Chantilly Cream and Strudel 'n Spice.

Early evening melting:

 

Front ~ Sweet Surrender Chocolate Raspberry Roll ~ one of my husband's favorites

how do you like sweet surrender's items? are the scents authentic? long lasting? I've seen it mentioned a few times here before. But not as many as some of the other vendors.

Little late in posting but decided to be lazy and do one scent for both living room and bedroom Can Do Peppermint Twist. Definately one of my favorite peppermint blends.

ilovescentedthings:

 

I have ordered twice from her on ebay (large orders). The first order went fine. Her tarts are soy and are in little plastic bags so they tend to be a little crumbly (sp) NOT solid like a wax tart. This in itself is NOT a problem for me but you need to get cellophane bags to put them in. (I got the large bags from Michael's with a coupon and just put a bunch of them in each one as I order a LOT of a fragrance.)

 

The second order didn't go as well. I ordered a LOT of coffee and unfortunately she had changed suppliers of her oil for the coffee. When I finally got around to melting them - NOTHING - a BIG nothing. I sent her an e-mail and she said I could send the unused back and she would pay the shipping. She said she could also send me a new bottle of oil (from her older vendor) and I figured, cheaper to send the oil.

 

Ok, I have never used the oil yet BUT it wasn't this. What got me was a comment she made to me "I'm not making any money selling" - OH REALLY??? I think she is or she wouldn't be on ebay selling.

 

Would I buy from her again?

 

Believe it or not I WOULD because I think this was just a fluke (with the coffee) and for the most part she does have fragrant, strong tarts. BUT I think she should have kept that written comment to herself about not making any money. If she wasn't making any money, why would she have so much product up for sale. Cracks me up.

 

Anyway, I say yes, go ahead and try some and see if you like them AND don't ship them over the weekend because they are soy and would melt. Have her ship on a Monday or Tuesday. I believe she is in S. CA.
