July's Fragrant Fireworks

Recommended Posts

Is it YC Strawberry Day? I should check my calendar. :)

 

Cozy Cottage - Nishiki Grapefruit

CYS - Coconut Cotton Candy

 

I don't have anything planned today. I woke up and put on a swimsuit. That's it. I plan to float in the pool all day like a bobber. It would be funny to have a swimsuit that is white on top and red on the bottom like a fishing bobber. [smilie=th_ee29] Who's got a fishing bobber emoticon?

Good Morning. Burning YC Be Thankful and melting Vanilla Lime from Can-Do. The next time I'm at the mall I'm getting a large jar of YC Vanilla Lime I really love this scent. I just hope it's as strong as Can-Do's.

LLVV, that carnival sounds fun!

 

Denny, that's a great post about GC scentpods. Thanks for writing all that out for us! :lol:

 

Aria, that storm must have been really scary! So glad things are improving now. [smilie=th_pardon]

 

Missie, how nice that your mom's fine with giving back the tarts. It'll probably seem like a whole new order for ya. Have fun with it! [smilie=th_stink]

 

Jules, you're a funny girl! Not sure I'd like wearing a red-bottomed swimsuit! [smilie=th_jaja]

 

I'm melting TDC's Tropical Passion Fruit. It's a gorgeous - did I stay GORGEOUS? - scent. [smilie=th_yay] Too bad it's not stronger and longer lasting though. But I guess pure perfection doesn't really exist in the world, does it? [smilie=th_c032]

Cbgirl, Wild Mountain Honey sounds like a sweet taste of heaven! [smilie=th_yay]

 

I'm melting CCCC's Fruity Fun. Soooo nice! My neighbor came to the front door to ask DH a question. As they chatted, I heard her comment, "Wow, something smells good!" DH muttered, "Yeah, she does candle thingies." She replied, "Well, it's great. Smells fantastic in there!" She's a nice lady, but not usually very generous with effusive praise. I smiled and thought, "She's having a bit of Fruity Fun herself!" [smilie=th_pardon]

 

Gail, apparently making the world more fragrant one neighbor at a time. Who knew? [smilie=th_stink]

Puppy - too bad U couldn't see your DH's face. I bet he did the eye roll thing, too. [smilie=th_stink]

 

My afternoon melt was GG's 3 Bears.For me, it was one of those "don't know if I like it or not" scents. [smilie=th_pardon] It was just on the edge of perfume-y, but then again, not. Definitely not a bakery sniff, tho.

Denny - :shock: Can U use another melter (24 watt) for the pods? If so, would U put it right on the heating plate or put the pod in the ceramic bowl first?

Sweet - Good question. The pod container is made up of some type of hard plastic, so I never attempted to place one on a standard 24 watt melter. So this afternoon I placed an empty pod container directly on the heating plate of one of my 24 watt melters and watched it carefully to make sure it didn't begin to melt. The diameter of the pod is smaller than the heating plate of my standard melter so a portion of the heating plate was exposed. But, the pod did just fine. So next I placed a full pod container directly on the heating plate of the same melter. Again, no problem. The wax melted nicely, but somewhat faster than with the GC warmer.

 

So it seems you can put the pods on a standard 24 watt melter. [smilie=th_foolish1] I don't know if the GC warmers are quite 24 watts because mine do not include wattage info. Without that information I am unsure as to how long the scent will be dispersed on a standard melter.

 

By the way, my Coconut Mango Breeze pod just fizzled out after a total of 24 hrs. over several days.

 

Now I'm melting Nene's - Blueberry Lemon Loaf. lemon.gif Yummy!

MaggieMae- I didnt think i would like grass scent like that but when i melted YC dune grass, it had this calming sweet grass scent to it and i end up liking it. I gota try Carols for sure now then, didnt know she had it too. cool. :P

 

Well went to the ribfest that they had here over the weekend with my family and enjoyed it. They had this one Chicago band playing which they were pretty good. Enjoyed their songs and performance [smilie=th_foolish1]

 

Recent melts:

CFTKR tuscan melon and sweet apricot - not bad, had a sweet and sour scent to it.

CFTKR caramel nut crunch cluster (freebie) - not my type of scent but its super strong. If you guys like caramel scent, this one is sure is strong.

YC evening air - nice, mellow and relaxing.

CFTKR strawberry bubblegum - yummy and mellow. Like it

Hi everyone, its been a while since I posted. You know how busy summer can be!!!

 

Anyway....

 

LLVV, hope your feeling better friend, glad you had a good time at the carnival, we went through PJ yesterday and they had all the classic cars going to the park where they have the ice skating...really nice. That concert sounds great..I gotta ask my little nephew if he knows who that is.

 

Aria, That storm sounded scary. I love storms personally, as long as I'm in the house. Even if the power goes out I love it! Especially thunder and lighting!

 

Missie, If I could go shopping to everyones house that I've given tarts to holy smokes, I would have so much fun!

 

lovetopuzzle, I love Mimi's house too. I'm soooo not into bakery, but after hearing everyone ranting about it I gave it a shot. It was awesome. One of the very few bakery scents I will order.

 

Been so busy with DD, she has so much soccer stuff going on in the summer. She is also volunteering at a local hospital 2 days a week. It just seems like its been crazy here. DD is leaving Wednesday for a trip to Virginia with a friend and her mother. I am freaking out about it. It will be the longest she has ever been away from me and she is 15! She is leaving on Wednesday and coming back on Sunday. I am getting palpitations thinking about it.

 

Gotta get back to work...I'll try to check back later!!

 

Have a beautiful and cool day. Its another hot one here on Long Island!
