Follow along on my fragrant chronicles
Not done with those Best of the Decade posts, quite yet. Specific to books which I've personally read. (I really wanted to do this as a topic last year) so here goes... 10. We Were Liars e. lockhart I had some issues with the plot, but love the way the cover evokes a state of... Continue Reading →
After wading through my reading highs and lows, these 10 titles floated to the top. A weirdly eclectic mix, I gotta say, a byproduct of my reading co-challenge. Just for fun, I included my star ratings. *Note that I'm not the most generous 5-star giver, but three books this year captured my heart. I bumped... Continue Reading →
It's such a fun time of year to look back and sort through my favorite smell-goods. I've gathered my top 9 of 2019 below: 9.

A TTT freebie came at the perfect time to list my top 10 favorites from the last decade.

I've been ordering wax with abandon (22 hauls!) and have experienced tremendous scent combinations in the first six months of 2019. Top 5 favorite scents this... Continue Reading →

Featuring my third Candles from the Keeping Room order in as many years; in retrospect, I never even reviewed the first, from 2016, because I was lukewarm on most of it. For my second order, I went real big on the fruity and clean scents and didn't fall in love with those either, however, if... Continue Reading →

Oh what fun it is to open a package of festive melts and join in the Christmas spirit. And no one celebrates holiday grandeur like Shannon at the Bathing Garden. Recently offering an accelerated seasonal shipping time of 2 weeks, I couldn't resist the allure of a winter order with a few never-before-tried scents. Her lavishly decorated... Continue Reading →
