Cozy Moments haul

Cozy Moments on Etsy makes some of my favorite body creams and lotions. Their Beautiful Body Butter and the Moisturizing Body Whip are just awesome!

Since I was running low on my body butters I decided to order a bunch of them in different scents. I also got a Moisturizing Body Whip! I love all scents except for the pumpkin one (I think I am just not so much into pumpkins). These butters are so decadent, they feel so rich, creamy and like whipped. The scents are mainly bakery and they just smell so yummy! 
As far as I am informed these lotions and body butters are made from scratch!

I also got a bunch of freebies/samples incl. some wax melts. I especially love the small body spray in Birthday Cake, it smells so awesome!

Daily wax melts October 2nd 2012

Today I am really happy with my choices!

-La Dolce Vita in Bunny Burp (last 2 cubes) on my 20W hot plate in the first floor. A super awesome strong fresh herbal scent. I really love this! Dolce Vita really makes amazing tarts, my new order of 27 pcs just shipped and should reach me after tomorrow! Can´t wait!

-Birdland Paradise Coconut Citrus Sorbet in my tealight warmer in the kitchen. A good coconut and citrus scent with a nice medium throw. I am not such a great fan of coconut though so it´s not a scent I would necessarily purchase.

-Ye Olde Candle Cubbard Orange Caramel Crumble in my living room in a 20W hot plate. A good orange bakery scent but not as strong as I´d like. Still like this though!

-The Bathing Garden Frosted Fruit Cake (2 cubes) in my 24W hot plate warmer in the living room. I LOVE this one! It´s so awesome! It´s a wicked strong fruity bakery scent with prominent citrus notes. I switched the warmer on 12 hrs ago and the scent is still super strong and awesome! TBG just can´t be reached by anyone else in my opinion!

Daily wax melts October 1st 2012

I started my melters pretty late and wasn´t really content with my choices except for one tart:

-Aunt Nena´s Green Apple Explosion in the 20W hot plate warmer in the first floor. I am not having the best luck with Aunt Nena´s. A few tarts were good but the majority has no throw. Just like this one! I got no scent out of this!

-Sugar & Spice Gourmet Blueberry Cobbler in the kitchen in a tealight warmer. I didn´t care for this slightly fruity scent, it was a bit sweet and just blah. Throw was ok though I think S&SG should be melted in a hot plate!

-Three Sisters Soap Autumn Afternoon in my 24W hot plate in the living room. Now this was the one tart I really loved (I knew I love it though as it wasn´t the first time melting one of these). It´s a really good fall scent, slightly crisp and not spicy. I really love the scent and the embedded dried fruits and leaves look pretty in the molten wax!

-Lasting Scent Candles Pink Marshmallow Shortbread in my Whoot warmer in the living room. This had zero throw though I want to blame it on the warmer which just doesn´t seem to work well with anything except for scentsy (and even those I prefer them in one of my handmade bunny bulb warmers!). The scent is gorgeous! A gooey smooth marshmallow bakery scent!

Daily wax melts September 30th 2012

The last day of September! Fall now has really begun with cool crisp days, quite a bit of rain and a more golden sun than we had in summer!

-Tiffany Candles Stress Relief in my bedroom in my new pink 24W hot plate warmer. I switched to a hot plate in my bedroom as the light of the lightbulb warmer was too bright for sleeping. This was an awesome tart, very strong and long-lasting (I think I had it in my warmer for 2 consecutive days!) and it smelled very much like the Eucalyptus Spearmint from B&BW. Really liked this a lot!!

-Lasting Scent Candles Cool Mountain Lake in the 1st floor in my 20W hot plate warmer. A nice laundry detergent kind of scent. To me it smelled at first like downy mixed with mint but later on it was just a laundry scent.

-Front Porch Amish Friendship Bread in a tealight warmer in my kitchen. This honestly smelled like everyone else´s zucchini bread! Not like the almond-based usual AFB scent. It had a light scent throw and lasted all day long. I think it would have thrown much better in a hotplate warmer!

-Shayz Scentz Zucchini Macaroon (2 tarts) in my 24W hot plate in the living room. This smelled just like a raspberry bakery scent, I couldn´t really detect the zucchini scent in this. Scent throw was really just light-medium and for using 2 tarts I just would expect more! Wasn´t really too fond of this!

-Country Home Scent Mango Peach Salsa in my Scentsy Whoot warmer in the living room. This threw quite well but I just didn´t like this version of MPS as much as the one I had from Sugar & Spice Gourmet. Therefore this really performed well for just being in a lightbulb warmer!
