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 piƱa 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?
