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 →
Super Tarts- Fright Night Fall haul

Clamshells are $4.25, shipped for $7.35 and all arrived unscathed in about two weeks.Annabelle- Brown Sugar Pecans, Pie Crust, Blackberry and Marshmallow fluff.

Super Tarts Wax: Summer sale-duos, bam bags and clams
Lessons learned from my most recent Super Tarts order (the first since spring of 2017): Be careful what you wish for Less is more My husband loves this brand When Super Tarts' admin began posting previews of a summer sale, after months of Instagram silence, I got major googly eyes over new blends, fresh pairings...

Summer scent trend: Sea Salt
It's been a minute since posting a "Notes From the Stash" edition and now that my wax haulage has slowed to a trickle, it's time for another dip into my wax stash.

Which means narrowing down to a top ten would be nigh impossible; therefore, I'm highlighting my... Continue Reading →
186th Day Recap (aka Midyear)

Ballgame-Super Tarts
Okay, so, I have featured Super Tarts fairly recently and I'll be reviewing a couple of different candle and wax vendors this month, but with all of the new releases and re-releases that Super Tarts has added this summer, I just had to promote one of my favorites before it's no longer available. Not to mention... Continue Reading →
Finnick – Super Tarts
What do you get when you combine good quality wax melts with one of the greatest YA series of all time? One pretty happy fangirl! For my first ready-to-ship Super Tarts order last month I had to indulge in the "Sniffing Games" collection, inspired by The Hunger Games books and movies. The Super Tarts team is...
