Birthday Order No. 1

My birthday is coming. It's on Thursday the 25th and I honestly don't care. I'll be 25 and the only thing that I was excited about was having a legit reason to order wax without my husband picking on me about it. I didn't even tell him that I placed orders...with his debit card...until yesterday. Oh well. Anywho, my first order that I placed on the 15th was with my beloved Granny's Kountry Candles. I needed to get the scoop on scoopables so that was all I ordered. All of these scents are in the 4 oz trial sizes. Here are the scents I ordered... Crunch Berries Pomegranate Pink Sugar Bedtime Bath Tickled Pink Green Apple and Vanilla Bean Noel for my little sister. I'm excited to try the scoopables. I've heard many good things. I know it will be after my birthday before I receive my order but for Wendy, I can wait. Until later, Melissa

5th Granny's Kountry Candles haul

Saturday I received my 5th GKC order. I placed it on her "Forget the Foil Friday" event on March 6th and received it on the 25th. That's a 12 day TAT. But that's to be expected with the sale orders Wendy had coming in. I ordered multiples of a lot of my favorite scents as well as a few singles in scents I wanted to try. My husband's younger sister was here when I was sniffing through to order and she hijacked a few tarts. I'll list the amount of tarts in the review and there will be a -1 with scents she claimed. Wanna know what I ordered? Leggo... Moonlit Path(5-1) -- an amazing dupe of the BBW scent. I switch between using this and Twilight Woods in a shower gel. It is one of my favorites. A Roll in the Hay(5) -- a mouth watering, delicious, fruity scent. This is one of my husband's favorites. It's very strong and you can almost taste it. Stress Relief(5) -- spicy herbal lavender with a hint of Vick's style mint. It's one of my favorite bubble bath and bedtime scents. Bite Me!(5) -- juicy, fruity and delicious. Stronger than A Roll in the Hay, though they are similar. This is one of my top 10 go to scents from GKC. This is also one of my husband's favorites. Kinky Cougar(5-1) -- a sour sweet fruity scent. Lighter than Bite Me! or A Roll in the Hay. I've been burning a Butterball in this scent for the longest time. Wendy's Butterballs are all but bottomless. Arkansas River(5) -- floral and aquatic. Very light and clean. Booty Call(5) -- very cologney and sensual. One of my all time favorites that I confused with Dirty Mind on my last order. I though this scent was called Dirty Mind. Don't ask me why. I cannot stand Dirty Mind and accidentally ordered a clamshell on my last order. Lucky for me my mom loves Dirty Mind. Bear Bottom(5) -- baby powder and herbal lavender. Very light and pleasant. Watermelon Bowl(5) -- a sour watermelon scent. Very tart, almost enough to make you pucker up. Bee's Knees(5-1) -- juicy, fruity with a warm, possibly honey bottom note. Blueberry Pomegranate(3-1) -- juicy pomegranate and tart blueberry. It almost has a bottom bakery note. Cherries Jubilee(1) -- delicious cherry. It smells a lot like a cherry lollipop. Melon Bowl(1) -- I wish I had ordered 5 of these instead of Watermelon Bowl. It smells like a Jolly Rancher. I love it. Tank Tops and Flip Flops(1) -- I'm not a fan. I smell coconut and I HATE coconut. It smells a lot like a piña colada. Well, that's my order. In total it was 57 tarts and filled half of my individual tart storage drawer. I let them cure for a month and leave a note on top in case I forget or my husband decides to pick scents for the day. I have one and only one complaint or concern from this order. Every time I shop with GKC I select JDazzler15 as my consultant, her videos were what led me to order from this vendor. It's never failed that I get samples or extras with my order. Sadly on this order I didn't receive anything. All I can assume is that I didn't receive goodies because $10 or my order was paid in gift cards. My order total was $25 and some change with me paying $15 and some change out of pocket. I sound like a whiney bitch. Anywho, I'm going to bed. Hope you enjoy. Side note: for anyone who has followed my blog, could you kindly please tell me how you did so. Where the button was, etc. thanks in advance. That's all folks, Melissa

Grumpy Girl Candles and Bath haul

Yesterday, I received my first order from Grumpy Girl. It was a small order but it WILL NOT be my last one. I love this company. The site is hilarious. The scent names are funny, the scent descriptions are hilarious, every passage of writing is silly and fun. If you've read any of my other reviews you'll know I love fresh and clean scents and that's a lot of what Grumpy Girl offers. So here come the reviews. Leggo...

Porn Star in Pink Panties -- floral and musky, which I love. Citrus on the bottom. I really like this one.

Hot Sexy UPS Dude -- very manly. Very woodsy. You really get the cedar and amber. Vanilla on the bottom lends a slight sweetness. This would make a perfect cologne.

Goth Queen -- very dark and sensual. Very incensey with a little sweetness. This one is not my favorite.

Ghetto Princess -- a great floral blend. Powdery soft and slightly sweet. Perfectly feminine.

Schweddie Balls -- very soapy and manly. Lavender and sandalwood. It's incredibly fresh. I love this one.

Trailer Park Trash -- fresh cut grass with a musky undertone. This scent is lighter than the others but it is still very nice.

Draft Up Your Skirt -- dryer sheets. A perfect laundry scent.

Sister Mary Frances -- fruity, floral and fresh. A powdery base. It's light but I really like it.

Girly Girl -- PINK SUGAR!! Very sweet with a yummy cotton candy. I love it!

Those are the cranky cups, 2 oz scent shot cups, that I ordered. I also ordered a bar of soap.

Soap in Porn Star in Pink Panties -- lighter scent than the wax but it is a perfect soap scent. They are still working with the pink batch (the soap description on the site tells what happened) it would have been amazing to receive the fun multicolored bar but it is still awesome and glittery to boot.

Soap Sample in Fruity Loops -- smells just like Fruit Loops and its cute with its multicolored layers. My husband claimed this one.

That is what I ordered. The packaging was perfect, nothing melted in the 90 degree weather we had yesterday. I'm already plotting another order for both wax and some bath and body products. If you haven't already visited their site head over to www.grumpygirlcandles.com and if you've ordered from them before tell me in the comments what your favorite scent was or which product was your favorite.

Until later folks,
Melissa

I'M BACK, I'M BACK!!!!!

After forgetting my password, a stomach virus or 3, and several doctor visits: I'M BACK. I've only received 2 orders in the past month and a half. Boo. I'm slackin'. Both of those orders were from my beloved Granny's Kountry Candles. Oh how I love Wendy and her lovely scented goodies. I'm waiting on my Click N Ship from an order I placed on the 8th for Forget the Foil Friday. 45 cent scallop tarts WHAT WHAT! I loaded up on my favorites and ordered a few singles to test out a few new scents. I WILL be reviewing those when I get them. I'm also plotting orders for Aunt Smellman's and Grumpy Girl Candle and Bath Co. I'm also plotting HUGE orders because my 25th birthday is at the end of July and I'd like to make sure my lovely birthday presents from Hubby Face are here for my birthday. Not after. That's crazy talk. So anyways. I'm back. Thinking about a reboot. What do you think? Do you prefer daily, weekly wax melts or just reviews on individual scents? Anyone, anyone?

Patiently waiting

On Wednesday I received my UPS tracking info for my 2 Granny's Kountry Candles orders and the email says the box weighs 16 POUNDS!!! That's a shit load of wax. I'm so excited about this order. A few butterball candles and a shit load of clamshells.

I bought a candle warmer for the butterballs I'll be receiving on Monday. It's a Candle Hearth hot plate that I picked up for $5 at Walmart. That being said, I've picked up a few wax related items here and there.

When I bought my candle warmer I picked up 3 of the $1 mainstays glass jar votive candles in Wild Honeysuckle, Flower Bouquet and a tan colored one I can't remember the name of but it's got a cologney smells to it and I believe it had a branch of some sort on the label. I've also picked up a few clamshells from Walmart. One in Tranquil Garden Spa, because I saw it in a JDazzler15 video, and Pure White Woods. Both is which are Better Homes and Gardens brand and perfect bedroom scents. Also, I had the Tranquil Garden Spa going in my bedroom non stop for 2 days and it was still strong when I turned it off.

Today the Hubs and I went to a whole town garage and craft sale. I had my sights set on waxy finds and to my dismay I found only one booth. It was a local couple and they were offering one clamshell for $3 or two for $5. I bought 2 of course. I got one called Dream Catcher and one in Cool Water. I kind of had to leave it up to Hubs because I can smell NOTHING thanks to my allergies. Louisiana pollen is a bitch.

Anywho, look for my GKC review on Monday or Tuesday.

Until later,
Melissa

2 more Granny's Kountry Candles orders

I received my second GKC order last Friday and placed another on Saturday and yet another on Sunday.

The one I placed on Saturday was all Butterball jars because they are on sale. 4 were custom scents that I'll be giving as Christmas gifts and a few for myself. The custom scents are $5.25 for a 16 oz butterball jar and the single scents are $5.00.

Here's what I ordered...

For younger SIL -- Kinky Cougar and Harbor Lights (she picked this going through my last order scents)

For MIL -- Arkansas River and Laundry Day (I'm hoping this is strong as every room in here house is giant with high ceilings)

For older SIL -- Cotton Britches and Honeymoon Heat

For my mom -- Patchouli and Moonlit Path (because my mom is a hippy)

For myself I got 3 single scent candles in Pink Sugar, Pomegranate, and Moonlit Path.

That was my third order and the next day I placed my fourth, all of which are clamshells. I'm beginning to prefer clamshells because they are much easier to store. I don't have to worry about the scent disappearing because of a plastic bag or any of that mumbly jumbly. So here's what I ordered in clamshells.

Jellybean Bowl
Bubblegum Sucker
Pink Bubblegum
Bunny Burps
Wet T Shirt Contest
Juicy Strawberries
Lovespell
Honeymoon Heat ( I love this scent)
Dirty Mind (love this one too)
Dazed and Confused (for my mom)
"Fore" Play
French Lavender

I should be receiving these orders next weekend. Super excited, especially about how my gifts butterballs will have SO MUCH time to cure before my family gets them. Also I'll be doing my weekly melts later tonight. I've had and still have a stomach virus (the joys of working with young children) and I just haven't felt up to blogging.

Until later,
Melissa

Granny's Kountry Candles Haul 2 Part 2

Here goes the second part of my second order with Granny's Kountry Candles.

Let's go...

Fresh Bamboo - 3/5. My Grandma's house smelled like this. Very leafy. Green. Love it.

Pickin' Wildflowers - 3/5. I don't smell flowers at all. I don't like it at all.

Honeysuckle - 4/5. Yup. Dead ringer for the real thing. Reminds me of picking the flowers as a kid. A lovely floral.

Hydrangea - 2/5. Light pleasant floral. Don't think I've ever smelled an actual hydrangea.

Lavender and Patchouli - 3/5. I smell both scents equally. There's a bit of a VapoRub undertone.

Magnolia - 3/5. Very soft and lovely floral. I live in Louisiana so this smells like home. Not to mention the magnolia tree right outside my front door.

Moonlit Path - 3/5. Currently using this BBW shower gel and this is dead on. Love it. It's a very unique scent.

Pomegranate - 3/5. Very excited about this. I LOVE pomegranate and the one I got from Tart Candles by Kim was disappointing. This one is juicy and perfect.

Remember When... - 3/5. Like and eucalyptus. Reminds me of Jamaica. Hey, it made me remember something.

Ylang Ylang - 2/5. This tart broke on me. Very unique. Not sure how much I like it but I know my mom will love it.

Stormy Weather - 3/5. Smells like rain. Very aquatic. Love love love it.

Lemongrass and Kiwi - 4/5. Lemongrass first, kiwi on second sniff. A green clean spa scent.

Oceanfront Stroll - 3/5. Fruity and aquatic. Like watery melons. Very nice.

Magic Man - 4/5. Definitely magic. Juicy. Not very manly though and it doesn't make me think of a man.

Sandalwood - 3/5. Very light and powdery. It's a good sandalwood. My mom will love this one too.

Big Girl Panties - 2/5. Citrusy. Light. Not my favorite. It's just eh!

Country Berries and Melon - 3/5. More berries than anything. No melon on cold sniff. This one broke on me too. It was in the same bag as the Ylang Ylang and they may have been on the outside part of the box. But the now wasn't damaged and was packed perfectly.

Domestic Diva - 3/5. Powder and citrus. Not my favorite. Will be giving to my MIL.

Harbor Lights - 2/5. They was no scent description for this one. I just needed one more tart to make $25 and this sounded good. I don't regret it. It's cologney. I love it.

I clicked JDazzler15 as my consultant because her videos really pushed me towards this vendor. If you haven't yet, check out her YouTube channel. Also, keep an eye out for one or two new post because I places 2 more orders already. 1 today and 1 yesterday. Most of which are Christmas present because the butterballs are on sale. So if you also like candles around your home those precious butterball jars are $5 for a single scent and $5.25 for a created scent.

Until later,
Melissa
