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 →
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 →
Candles from the Keeping Room-Winter wax haul
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 →
Beezy Tarts- wax haul
Well look at this, I've finally gotten a hold of Beezy Tarts wax. As another one of those old-school vendors who only promotes restocks via Facebook, I'm never up-to-date on when Beezy's is open.

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.

The blend brainstorming and scent... Continue Reading →
Wax haul-That Smell Good Shop
Seventy-five: the number of days I lasted in-between wax purchases; not my most impressive achievement, but not a bad start either. My seventy-fifth wax-free day celebration purchase? That Smell Good Shop. The vendor reappeared on my radar this fall after losing track of them for awhile, as the owner converted from former brand name Wilma's Handmade. I... 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. Sticky candied pecans beckon with lingering warmth... Continue Reading →
Rosegirls- Summer pre-order haul
I promise that I wasn't purposely holding out on revealing my summer Rosegirls haul, it just sort of got shuffled to September. This was the June pre-order, arriving right before a vacation in late July and when the bottom fell out in early August with sad events, I had to set it aside. I remember... Continue Reading →
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...
