((Hesitantly opens hatch on underground bunker...squints at brightness)) Hello out there. Um, is there anyone out there? I know it's been loooong time, no post, and although I am sorry about that, it has been a bit crazy in the world these last few months. With the onslaught of dire daily news, I'm convinced we...

Annual Mid-year Recap: Favorite Fragrances- 2019
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 →
Blank Label Products- first order
I've been gifted wax from Blank Label before but only became a follower and fan within the last six months or so. During Desiree's February pre-order, these particular blends spoke to me of springtime. So delighted was I by my first proper order, I was inspired to review. Squalls Ahead- Ocean Rain, sweet plum and... Continue Reading →
Beezy Tarts-Spring wax haul
My previous and only review of Beezy Tarts till now was less than glowing. It could be said the opposite of that actually. After hearing feedback from friends and other Beezy buyers, I've learned the key with this brand is to be extremely selective. Because the scents are composed of single fragrance oils, not house...

Sniff My Tarts- Fall/Winter custom scents
I feel a bit apologetic for the delay on posting this haul, however, as much as I enjoy blogging; individually photographing a huge box of wax melts, subsequently melting and noting descriptions, then writing it all up can be a mammoth effort. Not to mention, I have wax hauls which arrived in November that I... Continue Reading →
That Smell Good Shop: custom order
Back in October, when I made my first wax order after a hiatus on hauling, I chose That Smell Good Shop. One reason for giving this brand a go is because the vendor offers custom wax options every other month. Creating customized fragrance is one of my favorite waxie pastimes. The blend brainstorming and scent... Continue Reading →
New Vendor- Earth & Honey
These items were given in exchange for an honest review. My sister discovered this vendor at a farmer's market and raved about the wax. The ensuing social media follow lead to an offer for a blog product review. Eric, the creator of Earth & Honey started his (ad-)venture last November and has steadily increased production,...

Wicks Flicks ‘n Gifts review
One positive blogging perk is occasionally being gifted wax to photo and review. Selected by my similarly wax loving sis, Wicks Flicks n' Gifts, in business since 2013, is an etsy company I had never come across before. A shop specializing in down home scents with country-chic style. Homespun primitives aren't part of my usual... Continue Reading →
Candy Panda Wax-preorder review
At the time of Candy Panda Wax's pre-order in January, two factors influenced my decision to purchase: I was about to embark on a lengthy wax no-buy and was craving clean linen blends something fierce. I'd only tried CPW's scents through samples with sugar scrub orders, or cups gifted from others and I was eager... Continue Reading →
