Top 10 melts of the Fall Fun series: 10.Autumn Soda Float-Sweetwagon Scents. From the Autumn macaron sampler: pomegranate soda with a heaping scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. I thought I didn't like fizzy soda scents so I melted this downstairs in my husband's hangout. Turned out incredible--creamy and frothy with a pleasing amount of fruity... Continue Reading →
Turkey time is almost here. Which means a much needed holiday break for us. The past week was affectionately known as 'hell week' due to no less than three fundraising obligations scheduled the same week as a high-stakes speech competition on Saturday.

At least the subject of a stanza or two in... Continue Reading →

I'm just not into those syrupy, whipped-cream topped, furry-teeth beverages like I used to be; therefore I don't actually have a fave fall drink, per se. (Well, I do love my Oktoberfest craft brews this time of year, but I wanted... Continue Reading →
The finale of the four in-store festive collection scents is Christmas Thyme.
