  1. too bad they are out to the Dragon's blood, that is one I wanted to try, the twilight dream sounds good.... if you think of any others, let me know...I probably won't order til Monday,
  2. Thanks, that cinnamon apple peach sounds great. Are there any other must haves from Southern Gardens? They aren't too far from me and the shipping seems to not be so bad. I still do soap and candles so any others I should try from them since I am already ordering? Thanks
  3. I need suggestions for fall scent that work well in CP. pumpkin, spice, apple anything really. I would love something that doesn't discolor too badly. But any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Also a good baby powder FO for CP too. Tia
  4. Me too! I am in the same boat, mostly spend money and give away! I enjoy it but try sooooo hard to quit looking so I spend less!
  5. I just got my order! Got some wax, wicks, 4 oz jj, and some new jars to try, the ones on their straight sided jars selection.....has anyone tried those? Oh and lots of new smells to try! I got : Banana nut bread Blackberry marmalade Cake Cotton tree Cranberry marmalade (love this always throws so great!) my 1st pound ever bought, lol Honeysuckle jasmine Kettle corn Mac Apple(love this oob too) Orange and chili pepper (love oob! Can't wait to get in wax) Peach nectar Strudel and spice English garden Hope to get into some tonight!
  6. Ok, so far here is what I have in my cart at AH/RE Birthday Cake (SNC) Lavender Vanilla Toasted Marshmallow Pumpkin Creme Brûlée Danish Butter Cookie Apple and Pumpkin Strudel Home Made Apple Pie Warm Vanilla Nutmeg Kettle Corn Welcome Home Orange Chiffon Cake Still on the fence about Monkey Farts ( I have only tried NG and it was a total dud for me on HT) Bamboo Sugarcane Dreamcatcher Bonfire Bliss Any great ones I am missing? Any thoughts on the few I am still trying to decide? TIA!
  7. Thank you all for the suggestions! I think I am going to try put an order together later today....can anyone tell me what the kettle corn smells like in wax? I will put up my list of what I order later
  8. I have been trying to put together from my first order from AH/RE for a long time, I keep putting off placing my order, lol because I really don't need another FO supplier...haha but I really want to!! Anyways, I love bakery/ food scents but am open to all suggestions. Not sure how to choose some that they have 3 of the same scent different companies like I want a good birthday cake, and they have 2 or 3. I Also want a good buttercream, how is the toasted marshmallow, and the kettle corn, is it like buttered popcorn? Any input is greatly appreciated! Oh and I use 4630 with zinc wicks if that helps
  9. Thanks for the replies, I haven't checked there....is SOS saveonscents?? Anyone know anything about dupes for the other 2?
  10. It still hasn't reached a full melt pool after 2 burns, but I kinda expected that...I am going to try do 2 or 3 more burns tomorrow and then I will have a better idea for u. My thing is some sites say a 44-36 zinc or something is the next size up....I order some more today and will have to test, I really want to use this jar just didn't think it would be such a pain for me, lol. I am afraid that if I go much bigger the top half of the candle will burn to hot? Thanks for your help so far, I will let u know how it is going with the love spell tomorrow.
  11. Black raspberry vanilla from peaks I am testing one now with love spell from Elements.
  12. Hi all, I usually use zinc wicks in my candles, it is what I started with and for the most part they work well for me. I use 4630 wax and I trying a new jar, the DT status type jar I have tried the 51 z and one other, but can't recall which it was at the moment and I don't have my notes with me.....anywys, the first I tried tunneled pretty bad which is why I moved up to the 51 and it did ok for the first half of the candle but the last half or 1/3 of the candle it tunneled a little and isn't cleaning up the wax off the sides of the jar. At suggestions on others to try test, zincs or any other kind, I would appreciate any help. I never use more than 1 oz pp and this is FO that works beautifully in my 4 oz just with a 44-24 zinc wick. Thanks
  13. Does anyone know where to find good dupes for these fragrances? Ay help much appreciated.
