Follow along on my fragrant chronicles
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. Ten Digit Creations- Pink Berry Tonka/Let Them Eat Cake- Never tried either of these popular fragrance oils before marrying them into a custom blend, but it's lovely, lush, and not...

Here we are, halfway through the year already. (WTH?) Half a top ten felt right for mid-year, so I'm sharing my 'fave fives': individual scents, vendors and scent trends. 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 →
The end of 2018 is upon us and I am not sad to see it go. A few highlights of this personally dismal year have been the exceedingly good wax hauls I've enjoyed. Narrowing down scent preferences, veering a bit out of my comfort zone, sampling and embracing types I might have previously run from,... Continue Reading →
Heads up, I'm chatting tea scents not actual tea leaves today. I chat up teas too, in fact I have two new tea hauls to review next month. Someone around here really fancies tea lately (it's me), seeing as it's a favorite scent trend in 2018, I had a dig through my stash to see... Continue Reading →
It is most definitely summer up in here and whoooo boy it's hot, scorched earth for days, which must mean it's July in the Midwest (don't ask where June went, I'm still searchin for it). Early July brings the first stand of daises in the front yard reaching for the sun, ballgames on the radio... Continue Reading →
Another year, another attempt at a wax heart to express my vendor love. Tbh, this was laborious, but I couldn't resist on Valentine's week. Anyone a party to Valentine's Day festivities or gift exchanges? My husband and I rid ourselves of that tradition after our first wedded year, but I did find some small trinkets... Continue Reading →
Over the last month, I've featured the illustrated editions, book-inspired teas and a Hogwarts candle, but I hope I'm granted one more Harry Potter related post. I couldn't pass up dedicated Potter wax, or else I just wouldn't be a zealot would I? L3 Waxy Wonders hooked me again with bookish blends and a sale,... Continue Reading →
Amidst 23 different wax vendor hauls (down 14 from last year, but with more multiples from single vendors) in addition to another 17 or so brands generously gifted to me this year, I am not wanting for wax melts. Which means narrowing down to a top ten would be nigh impossible; therefore, I'm highlighting my... Continue Reading →
The bests, worsts, and "mosts" of the month for July. Most impressed with: No sooner had I posted my mid-year Top 10 melts than I immediately found new scents to love. Biggest usurper: Snooze Button Aftershave blend by L3 Waxy Wonders. I popped this little guy in and fell head over heels. Creamy buttermints, sweet lavender,... Continue Reading →
Best: Month to attend the thea-tah, is March, apparently. From Playhouse Square to the school play, every weekend involved an aspect of attending some performance. During the state Speech tournament, I saw some exceptional performances. Judging a state quality competitive Humor round was a highlight. Marveling at the level of talent achieved by these speechies,... Continue Reading →
