Daily wax melts March 15th 2013

-HHS Jack Frost in the bedroom (24W hot plate). This was a good fresh peppermint scent with good throw and lasting power.

-CFTKR Farmhouse Treats in the first floor (24W hot plate). This is a mix of all things being prepared in a farmhouse kitchen (bread, cookies, jam, jelly etc.). This was an extremely light scent with a very weak throw. What I could smell was just a sweet scent without any dominant bakery notes. I somehow liked this but I would want it way stronger!

-Granny´s Kountry Candles Orange Chiffon Cake in the kitchen (tea light). This had a very light throw and it was such a normal boring orange bakery scent anyway.

-Lil´Kitchen Candles Sugar Cookie Dough Bread and Serendipity Noel in the living room (24W hot plate). This was a good combination, a sweet bakery with a hint of serendipity. It was medium-strong and stayed really well.

-Front Porch Buttercream Drizzled Bread and Marshmallow Serendipity in the living room (24W hot plate). Another good blend...a creamy soft serendipity scent with a good throw and decent staying power.

-JLCCW Serendipity Jaimie in the living room (tea light). I used one cupcake and it gave off a light-medium throw. This is a very sweet serendipity but it´s not my fave from JLCCW.

Couple recent The Bathing Garden hauls

I really wanna catch up on posting hauls but I surely don´t wanna brag about them but I really just want to get them posted =X Anyway, I hauled some TBG clamshells recently so here are my hauls. 
Shannon finally got Serendipity (as per my recommendation). Her serendipity smells good albeit a bit on the lighter side. It comes in 2 blends: Serendipity Cream Pie (with coconut cream pie) and Pink Bunny Ears (with red velvet cake).

Ariel´s Secret Garden haul

Ariel´s Secret Garden is one of my favorite bath & body vendors however her tarts aren´t really that great. But that doesn´t matter, I can get good wax elsewhere but her body care is really awesome!
Sad news is that Sherri and Ariel decided to close their shop =( Pure horror! =X So I decided to place a few more orders from them. The offer was a free 1 lbs bag of English Toffee and it is so delicious! I also got free shipping and an extra bath bomb. 
This is the first haul which is smaller but I have couple bigger ones coming now.
The soap loaf is a cold process soap in Honey I Washed The Kids type. It will be ready to use on April 6th. 
Her bath bombs are very moisturizing and fizz away really fast whereas I prefer a less greasy slower fizzing formula. However the one in Peppermint Lavender is awesome as it feels cool on the skin so even though one is sitting in hot bath water the skin feels cool and refreshed. A very interesting sensation.
The Miracle Cream is awesome, too, and my favorite product to use on my feet and hands right now. 

CFTKR haul

And here is yet another haul from CFTKR...judging by the amount I have I would say she should be my favorite vendor. Carol definitely is along with The Bathing Garden and Front Porch. But I have so many fave vendors it´s hard to narrow them down. 

It´s getting slightly more difficult to order stuff from Carol as her popularity just got boosted so much. She will soon close for almost a month and you bet her first days of reopening will be totally super busy. I am planning on a small order on Tuesday as she´ll be restocking couple of scents I have been waiting for. 

As always I got a nice bunch of samples, yay! Some even bunny-shaped <3
