Just like that, 2017 has come and gone. This year was full of both happy memories and many challenges. But through it all, I always had the wax community to turn to. This blog has remained a positive space where I can just be myself and that’s more than I could ever ask for. Before… Read more »

Why Does Bath & Body Works Retire Their Best Scents?
I FINALLY CAVED. I went on Ebay and purchased one of my favorite rare candles that Bath & Body Works never brought back. Being someone who has never purchased a candle at full price, it actually hurt spending more than I ever normally would. But, when you see a decent price for 2 mason jars… Read more »
Pistachio Scent Guide
One of the latest trends in the world of wax is pistachio scents. It seems like every company is releasing their own version that smells almost identical to the other. I thought it would be nice to compare each one of them to figure out what the differences are, if any, and help you decide… Read more »
Key Lime Pie – Candle Comparison
Last year, I randomly wanted to burn a key lime pie scented candle. Of course, there weren’t any available on the market at that time which is probably why I really wanted the fragrance in my collection.

BBW Radiant Red Maple Dupe
If you are candle crazy like myself, you already know that Bath & Body Works has begun testing their Fall collections.

However, my absolute favorite Fall candle, Radiant Red… Read more »
BBW Summer Bonfire Dupe
Okay candle connoisseurs, I have an exciting dupe for you. Remember the Seaside Summer collection that Bath & Body Works released in 2015? It had some great scents and my personal favorite was Summer Bonfire. I’m not really surprised that it wasn’t brought back, but as I burn through my last candle I’ve been desperate for something similar…. Read more »
Fragrance Review – Peanut Butter Sugar
I am super late to jump on the Goose Creek bandwagon but am nevertheless happy to have discovered the brand. Since placing my first order in April, I’ve melted 5 different scents and each have been enjoyable. My favorite fragrance from Goose Creek so far is Peanut Butter Sugar. While this isn’t anything new, it’s an amazing… Read more »

When I discovered that several White Barn exclusives were released at Bath and Body Works nation wide, I rushed to my local store.
