Alright so here’s what I picked up from Yankee!
Jars
6 Shortbread Cookie
2 Oatmeal Cookie
3 Key Lime Pie
2 Lemon Zest
2 Star Fruit and Orange
4 Be Thankful
1 Berry Jam
1 Country Kitchen Line – Chocolate Cake
2 Country Kitchen Line – Fresh Baked Goods
I didn’t go TOO over board …just picked up a lot of shortbread cookie since it’s one of my favorites! I actually didn’t buy any tarts nor did I pick up any accessories. There wasn’t much that I wanted this go around. Did you go to the SAS? Did you pick up anything? I am going to head back to the store next week and grab the fall scents to review.
Last year I purchased a Scentsy warmer and some bars (while they were having the Bring Back My Bar sale). I picked up Luscious Lemon and Cutiepie Cupcake. I am just about done with both of those bars, yes it took me that long. LOL! The reason for it taking so long is I have the cupcake shaped warmer. SO cute, right? Well I didn’t really have a place for it…it’s a big cupcake. BUT I have been leaving the frosting top off and have used it everyday since. After figuring out that dilemma, I bought the buy 6 bars for $25 deal.
Sugar Cookie: According to Scentsy
“Warm, sweet blend of butter, sugar and creamy vanilla.” I think it smells wonderful! It’s really a sugary sweet treat. I heard this scent is very popular and I can see why. I feel that most cookie scents are great year round scent, especially if you are trying to sell your home.
Flirtatious: According to Scentsy ”Fruity and vibrant, a combination of green apple, grapefruit, and white amber.” I think this smelled like it had melon in it. I guess it was the grapefruit throwing me for a loop. I am looking forward to trying this scent. Whenever I look at the label I feel like such a girly girl. Like it should be the name of some pop star’s perfume.
Lemon Coconut Chiffon: According to Scentsy ”Melt-in-your-mouth lemon custard layered with butter cake and sprinkled with toasted coconut.” I do believe we have a winner! If you are scared of both lemon and coconut, this might be a good scent to try. They work well together plus you get some of the bakery/cake notes. Delish!
Cherry Limeade: According to Scentsy “Zesty key lime, sweet cherry, and juicy berry: a delicious scent reminiscent of a soda fountain drink.” YES! This is a summer time treat! I love going to a certain drive thru fast food establishment that sells cherry limeade. So refreshing!
Baked Apple Pie: According to Scentsy ”Flaky crust, apples and spices combined in a strong scent.” I get a really nice sweet apple note and a sweet spicy note with just a smidge of crust/bakery. I can’t wait to see if this is as strong as smells cold.
Lucky in Love: According to Scentsy ”Sweet bouquet of mandarin, bergamot and orange with hints of peaches and berries.” This smells like Love Spell, which is one of my favorite fragrances. A wonderfully sweet scent, very beautiful.
I also ordered a plug in Jack-o-lantern for the fall. He was in the close out section for I thought why not. He’s cute, and I can keep him in the guest bath so my nephews will be able to see where they are going when they visit.
The two scents I order before:
Cutiepie Cupcake: “Sweet clementine and yellow cake batter with vanilla and sugary icing.”
Luscious Lemon: “Light, creamy lemon.”
Raspberry Sun Tea
Sun Tan
Summer Boardwalk
Pink Sangria
Root Beer Float
Ice Cream Shop (mini candle)
Beach Cabana
Blackberry Grapefruit
Well it wasn't enough!! LOL!!! So I placed an order online:
Sea Spray
Seaside Escape
Island Colada
Japanese Cherry Blossom
2 more Root Beer Floats
Summer Boardwalk
I did get a free bottle of Sweet Pea lotion and a floral bag....oh and $1 shipping when I spent $25!
Here's what I think so far:
Raspberry Sun Tea - smells like the powder instant iced tea.
Sun Tan - I *need* this in a three wick. It's a perfect beachy scent.
Ice Cream Shop - reminds me of Sticky Toffee Pudding ( just because toffee is one of the notes I can pick out). I love it and can't wait for a 2 for $20 ...I'll stock up :D
Beach Cabana - cooling off with some aloe filled lotion.
Ii will review each one of these scents separately in video and blog post.
I got a new package the other day!! It was from Crabby Candle Co. which I had heard about from Youtube. Here are the scents I got in my package. It was the spring/summer sampler pack for $25.
Strawberry Kiwi –
Sweet and tart this is a great scent for those of you who love fruit! The slip that came with my order says this one is strong. I can’t wait to try it out! I need something that can scent up a great room!
creamy vanilla mixed with a sweet lavender. This smells really strong in the package but I hope that means it will be a great scent to use in a larger room.
What would Paradise Falls smell like to you? Fresh air, tropical notes, and water. I definitely get a hint of tropical fruit…like a banana or coconut. Well whatever it is, I like it and can’t wait to use it!
Everytime I hear this scent’s name I want to see Summer Lovin’ from Grease. This scent has coconut, sun tan lotion, water and driftwood notes…perfect for the upcoming summer season!
Sweet juicy blackberries mixed with the tea. Sounds delicious! I love fruit infused teas whether they are cold or hot! I will be putting this one on the top of the Melt first list!
This is a beautiful mix of sweet pea and roses with just a dash of vanilla. A lovely floral and I’m not even a floral person!
Cherry blossoms, musk and vanilla all blended perfectly for this scent. It’s a dupe of BBW Japanese Cherry Blossom.
This is a candy type scent….tart/tangy/sweet all rolled up in one little cup of goodness! I really enjoy these types of fragrances.
Let’s say that lemon and lime ….meet peach. They become the bestest of friends. They smell wonderful together, not overly strong but still a nice sweet swirl of peach and citrus. Love it.
CCC’s take on a good ol’ classic. I love trying all varieties of Strawberry Shortcake but this one is truly a work of art. Smells just like it would taste, you get the strawberries and the sponge cake. Yum!!
Surfs up man! This scent is a fun manly fragrance. It’s got fresh water, musk, with a slight touch of mint. I think on those not so comfortable days of summer this will be sure to cool any room off.
I love this scent ** It’s a very unique fragrance, but it’s worth trying! If you like rootbeer type scents but are over done on the added cream (for rootbeer floats) then try this out!
YC dupe, which is lovely! Coconut, jasmine, citrus, vanilla all mixed together with fresh air notes make this a fantastic scent if you want to escape to paradise… no matter what time of year it happens to be at the moment!
This isn’t a coffee lovers only scent, with that sweet mix of vanilla and berries anyone can enjoy this one. It truly has many different levels to it. Although I do love coffee scents but this one seems to be perfect for just about anyone!
Um…yes please! Maybe even 2 or 3? From the moment I read the label I have been wanting some sort of snack cake like this….where can you go wrong with tart raspberries in cake with vanilla icing…drools.
So these are the scents I will be enjoying for the next few weeks. I am so happy that I purchased from Crabby Candle Co. I will make sure to add their link to the side bar so you may go and visit them. My package shipped pretty quick and I am over all pretty happy with all of these wonderful scents.
I went to Bath and Body Works the other day and took advantage of the buy 1 get 1 free for the holiday traditions. The sale was for any of the products, not just lotions, shower gels, and bubble baths. I picked up:
2 Twisted Peppermint Shower Gels
2 Twisted Peppermint Body Lotions
2 Vanilla Bean Noel Body Lotions
2 Pink Sugar Plum anti-bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap
2 Vanilla Bean Noel anti-bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap
2 Vanilla Cookie reindeer soap
2 Be Enchanted Shower Gels (3oz)
1 Be Enchanted Body Lotions (3oz)
1 Strawberry Sparkler Body Lotion (3oz)
1 VanillaTini Body Lotion (3oz)
1 Jingle Bellini Body Lotion (3oz)
2 Jolly Gingerbread Cookie PocketBac
2 Winter Cranberry PocketBac
1 Mistletoe Kiss PocketBac
1 Sticky Toffee Pudding 14.5oz Candle
This seems like a ton but it really isn’t and I got great prices for it all. I needed more Christmas presents and well B&BW is a great place to get little gifts. Face it everyone could use some soap or hand sanitizer in my line of work, it’s enough to brighten anyone’s day! I place a new soap in the workroom just about every month.
I’m going to try something a little different this time. I am not going to add pictures to this post and write separate posts for each item or by fragrance. I hope this will encourage me to write more reviews and not just list things you can read on websites already.
