April Fools for Fragrance

Recommended Posts

Hi all, I haven't posted in the main thread for a while because I was just melting the remnants of a Yankee candle (Willow Breeze) and doing a remelt of something old. Now I'm trying to figure out what to melt next. My parents are visiting on Friday so I want something appropriate in case my mom asks what it is. LSC Aphrodisiac? Hmm, that might be weird...LSC Sex on the Beach? wait, that's worse, not better...GG Porn Star in Pink Panties? My poor mother. She'd probably be on the verge of disowning me if she found out about any of those. I'd better stick with something less creatively named!

Good evening, Candlefind Friends

Been busy busy - getting E-basket supplies, working in the garden (peas are in).

Zack had his post-op appointment and all looks good, now he has a new cast and will re-check in 3 wks.

Thanks for all your good wishes for him.

Recent melts:

Baby Powder - CFTKR

Island Temptations from LOL - smelled nice but not a great throw or much staying power

Sweet Pea from Crabby Candle - eh - not impressive and I used it in the bathroom (small room)

Just threw in Aloe & White Lilac by CFTKR for my evening wind-down.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Laurie, great news about Zack's arm!

 

I've been melting Shades of Green from Scentsy all day, but now the smell of sauteed onions and garlic from dinner have taken over. DD has strep throat so our spring break has been pretty low key. Poor thing. Not a fun way to spend time off from school, but at the same time, I'm glad she's not missing all these days.

Having computer quirks again. Had the same problem a year ago....all of a sudden....poof....the monitor goes off. The tower is still running, tho. I got a new moniter, but it started going off, too. SO frustrating! [smilie=th_ANGRY_10] It's only 5 years old, but, looks like it's time for a new one.

I hate having computer problems Sweet!!! SO aggravating! I hope it either starts working right for ya or you find a new one that pleases you!!!

 

Laurie~ Glad you heard Good News at the docs! :)

 

MPfand~ Sorry to hear about your DD strep...that's so sad to hear that she has it over SB...I hope she feels better soon!

 

Melting:

Happy As a Pig in @&% by Spotted Hog...SO YUMMOLA!!!

Apple Buttered Zucchini Bread by CCCC...ANOTHER AMAZING WINNER!!

 

Have a good one everyone! :)

Finishing the night with Voluspa 'Santiago Huckleberry.'

 

I just love this scent. I want to live in a cloud of it. Does anyone know of a similar fragrance in tart form?

Hi!

 

Today's Easter egg hunt was successful!

 

I have a question to anyone celebrating Passover. On Friday DD's former preschool teacher is coming over for lunch. I know that she is Jewish but I don't know how strict she is about Passover diet limitations. I was planning on serving cold cuts but then I remembered Passover. Would penne a la vodka be ok to serve?

 

Tarts:

Blackberry Jam Flapjack

 

Candles:

Maple Pancakes jar

Laurie, I'm so happy to hear Zack is lookin' good according to the doc! [smilie=th_stophierDancedancer04

 

Mpfand, how awful that your DD has strep throat. Poor kid. [smilie=th_cry2yw3] Hope she'll be feeling lots chipper really soon!

 

LLVV, good to hear the Easter egg hunt went great!

 

I've been out a lot but just got home and started up Haley's Coconut again. I love it, and will no doubt love it more once it weakens a bit. Must make a note to use half a tart or less next time. Also added FP Coconut Lime votive. Smells tropical here! [smilie=th_WE1summer013]

 

Have a great night, all!

Mp - that is kind of a mixed blessing. You are right - good or bad timing, depending on how you look at it!

 

LL - wish I knew the answer for you, but I don't know either! :blush:

 

Tonight I have been melting YC Sage and Citrus

I just put on 'Gingerbread House' from Country Home Scents. Thanks swap buddy! It smells great!

 

I'm also re-warming the leftovers of BRH 'Vanilla Buttercream Crunch'. I was not a fan of the cold sniff of this one, but after curing for a while I actually like it. I think is smells a lot like a mix of caramel and cream cheese icing. :)

Good Morning!

 

The sun is finally out here. Looks like a nice day.

 

Laurie-Glad to hear your son is doing better.

Mpfand-Hope your DD feels better soon.

 

This morning I am melting CCCC Jelly Bean Bark. This one smells fantastic!

I am also doing a remelt of CCCC Stuffed Jelly Beans. I put it in an electric warmer this time because it never melted completely in the tealight warmer and maybe this is why the scent faded quickly-IDK?

 

I hope everyone has a great day!

Thanks for the well wishes for DD. Hopefully the antibiotics kick in quickly.

 

I woke up to the smell of garlic and onion (still!) so I'm hoping the melts I chose chase it out of the house. Vanilla Devotion from Crosscreek and Cinnamon Vanilla from The Tempting Tart. The Cinnamon Vanilla is not heavy on the cinnamon like many that I've tried. Perfect! A big thank you to my swap buddy! ;)

I am back from running errands and have added YC Coconut Bay and Wal Mart Pina Colada to the mix. I decided to try this one of the Wal Mart three wicks from MVP and see how it does. So far it is burning nicely but no smell yet. It is early days yet so time will tell. It looks pretty anyway. Ha!

YC-

Lucky Shamrock

Easter Egg Hunt

Garden Hideaway

Mainstay-

MP-Hope your kiddo feels better soon-heck she probably already is this morning!

LL-sounds like a fun time on the egg hunt. My dd has been invited to one tomorrow also-she is looking forward to it too.

Becky-is that BHG scent a room filler? I am not sure if I have that one in my pile.

Everyone is melting some awesome sounding stuff today!

Hope you all have a great day!

Hello friends,

 

I'm continuing with Haley's Coconut this morning. Have a lovely day everyone. I cannot believe that April's winding down already. [smilie=th_thConfus_55]

CBV's Tahitian Passion candle in the living room, CBV's Coconut Hibiscus candle in the bedroom and....um, yea I think that's it for today. Will switch out to some tarts later on probably.

 

I am so in love with both of these candles today. I just wish it was warmer to match the tropical mood up in here........LOL. These are both new to me and I would definitely re-order both of these in a heart beat.

 

Hope everyone is well, haven't read back yet but intend to later on. Happy Easter and Passover to everyone.

 

Oops, I knew there was another one I forgot. Carol's Blood Orange was going in my oldest son's room. I placed a wee order from CFTKR the other day. I got Blood Orange, Mango/Papaya, Guava Fig and Blue Hawaiian. I love my tarts coming from Carol as always. They are always a hit in my home. I was scared for the Blood Orange, as it was very strong in the bag, but melted up just perfect. I find that CFTKR's tarts work most perfectly in a tealight warmer, not electric. Not sure why either. OK, i'm done for now. Bye again.

I just got up from a nice nap--it felt good to take one. My Pina Colada candle from Wal Mart--MVP--one of those that Jedda pictured on her Wal Mart excursion yesterday is burning beautifully. I had been afraid to try these as the wicks looked so puny but you should see the lovely flames and melt pool I have. I have it up here near the computer and the scent is moderate but I think if I moved it to the bathroom it would be stronger. The way my house is you have to kind of position candles/melts around until you find the exact air currents that work best. I have it in the ladybug/grass holder from Yankee and I am enjoying looking at it. They had three other scents--Blueberry Muffin, Strawberry Shortcake and Blackberry Tart that interested me especially so I will no doubt get those next trip since this one is doing so well. $4.97 for a 14.5 oz candle is not to be ignored by a candleholic such as myself! :lol:
