Hi Brandi so happy to hear from you! I’ve been off of TH-cam since last October. I had planned a limited return but it looks like I might not manage that now. Too many obstacles is a sign that it might not be for me. I had a busy summer - my daughter/granddaughters spent the last month with us. We had lots of other company as well. My son & daughter-in-law had a baby boy & they live close by so I spend a lot of time with little Jimmy. I know what you mean I’m not nearly as enthusiastic about spring summer wax. I have a few favourites but look forward to September every year. I give away my testers at my Sip & Sniffs. I let everyone take testers from my fall winter 2023 kit & replaced them with my new set. My granddaughters get first dibs & they each took a baggie full back to Germany. Thanks for taking the time to hop on here. Sending positive vibes just in case you need them❣️
Hi Linda! I'm so happy to hear from you, you sure are missed! As much as I would love to see you return to making videos I completely understand how other priorities can make that difficult. It sounds like you had a lovely summer full of family time! I bet your granddaughters loved getting to spend a whole month with you and their magical fairy garden in the back yard 🥰 Aww, I really miss seeing you Linda. Congratulations on your new grandson! What a joy to have a new little life in the family and so close by! That's a great way to get rid of some testers and I bet everyone appreciates that. I swear they multiply in the night, every time I turn around I find more it seems 😄
Hi Brandi! It was so great hearing from you again! I missed the previous community post. Totally understandable as life is so busy and this should be something fun and not an added stress. It's selfish to say, but I do hope to see more videos from you in the future. Take care my friend!
@@allisamazingscents7408 Hi Alli 👋 Thank you my friend ❤ I hope to be back on a more regular basis as soon as possible but in the meantime will just have to post when I can.
Aww Brandi … such a joy to hear to see you post again. I do hope life is gentle on you ..we all need to catch our breath when we get thrown a lot ..all at once . Oh you did made me giggle with the testers .. I have just sorted mine and currently have bags of fresh, fruity, bakery, autumnal, winter and then I pick out about 10 of the same type and mix them in 5 warmers in my lounge … I’ve actually had some lovely combinations but it’s taking me time to get through them . I decided I don’t need to stock pile them. . but I do buy the transition sets. Frosted cinnamon roll is my pregnant daughter’s favourite (about 9 weeks to go now to meet baby) so excited. I’m definitely not a honey fan either . Great to hear from you …sending positive vibes your way 😊 🤗
Aww, thank you Jane. It was so nice to have some time to sit down and do this and catch up with you all ❤ The testers are a pain to deal with but I've had a lot of success with having a bunch of different scents going at once. I've mixed a few myself and found some happy accidents. Only 9 weeks! Wow, where does the time go? Before you know it that sweet little baby will be in your arms 🥰
Thank you Courtney! ❤ I do that as well but have really noticed lately that the foaming soaps are really drying. I've never had a problem with them before so I'm not sure what changed. Thankfully the gel seems to be doing fine so I think I'll make a switch over to those but still have quite a few foaming soaps I need to get through from past SAS sales.
Happy to see you check in - whenever you want is fine!! The foaming soaps have always been drying to me. I think they use to be even MORE drying a few years ago but the current one I'm using hasn't been as drying for whatever reason (watermelon lemonade). I was trying to melt seasonal this summer but I love bakery on weekend mornings. I'm not much of a coffee drinker and only drink it on the weekend so I associate melting bakery and coffee as my little treat for getting through the work week. I feel you on the timers! sometimes I do them on Alexa, my phone, my microwave, my watch and sometimes all at the same time! lol I just don't want to forget!!
Aww, thank you! I'm not really sure why the foaming soaps are drying my hands out now, they never used to bother me, but I have heard many people say that over the years. I really wish Scentsy soaps weren't so expensive ($13 here) because I do prefer their formula but the gel soaps from B&BW are doing just fine for now. I still have quite a few foaming ones to get through that I've purchased in previous SAS sales tho. Lol, I'm totally with you. If it wasn't for timers, alarms, and sticky notes I don't think I could function at all 😅
Fiji Flower kicks butt in all products! The wax was strong and long lasting, the pods were great, I love the whiffs and the fragrance flower is still the strongest/longest lasting that I've tried to date 🌸
Ive been using up some testers to try and see what scents i want to try this coming season today i warmed Maple Apple Bourbon omgoodness i absolutely love it. Im so happy to see a video from you. Hope things are getting better. ❤
@@scenteddragronflywithmichelle Hi Michelle 👋😊 I agree, the testers are definitely helpful when you're wanting to try out a scent. They accumulate so dang fast tho and can become a little overwhelming. I used to be really good about using them up but kind of fell off for awhile and before I knew it I felt like I was drowning in them 😅
Hi Brandi! Glad to see you back. Question- would you ship your tester lids from your empties ( & any testers that you don’t want) my way? I discuss what I do with the lids in many of my videos & will happily warm them to get the lids after
Hi Brandi, was so excited to see this video! Have missed you on here. Hope you’re doing well! We went to the beach (Seaside FL) for a few days, other than just work and trying to stay cool here in Louisiana. I just put up my fall decor today and am warming some Autumn Rd Trip. It’s still hot here but I can’t wait anymore! Hope to see you more when you have time. BBW Pink Pineapple Sunrise is so fun for summer, have enjoyed that. Ooh I love King Cake and Frosted Cinnamon Roll too! Take care and happy melting! 😊
@@bethferrington3247 Hi Beth! Oohh Florida, nice! 🌞 Haha, I hear you! It's still hot here too but I couldn't wait anymore either and put my fall decor up last week. I love this time of year so much and my fall decor makes my heart happy 🍂😊 I just started warming the Gourdy Goodness collection yesterday and am really impressed with this one. Scentsy did a great job! I have the harvest collection bars too but am going to let them sit a few weeks before I warm them because a few seemed pretty light on cold. Did you go in on Gourdy Goodness? Any faves? 🎃
I didn’t get the Gourdy Goodness, was waiting on reviews. There was one or two I was interested in but just never did. I’m loving the Berry Apple Shortbread from the Harvest Collection though and have my list ready for tomorrow! Can’t wait to get the September SOTM. Also excited for the ginger cookie one in the holiday collection.
I purchased Buzzworthy in my 6 pack of bars including 5 BBMB and I haven’t warmed it yet. I haven’t had honey in wax so I’m not sure how I feel about it. I mostly smell almond on cold. The only BBMB I warmed and still have some left is Lemon Lavender. I really enjoy warming it at night. I didn’t purchase Dulce de Leche and Breakfast Blend didn’t interest me since I’m happy with my vendor coffee scent stash. The other BBMB except for Red Delicious I will probably warm when it is Winter and I wish it was Summer weather since they were light to me.
After Bee My Honey I'm glad I didn't end up getting Buzzworthy. I don't think honey scents are for me. Let me know what you think of it when you do warm it though. I'm interested to see how that goes 🤞🍯
I totally got up to check my microwave when I heard your timer! 😂 I don’t like cake me to paradise either. It was off putting but I couldn’t figure out why.
So wonderful to see you back, Brandi! I missed seeing you as well! You went through quite a bit of things! Thank you so much for sharing! My mom and I went on two day trips this Summer! One to my cousin’s wedding the beginning of July. It was so hot that day but so much fun! The other shorter day trip was a couple of weeks ago to a pick your own produce farm where my mom and I picked blackberries! The Refuge mission trip, which I skipped this year ended a day early due to storms. It seems like everyone had fun tho and there are short video clips on TH-cam. I am definitely ready for Fall weather and Fall melting! I just remembered, I registered for an online class that starts October 21 for 8 weeks through a Christian college! I have been working hard to be readmitted. I hope you and your family have a blessed weekend!
Hi Melissa! It's so nice to hear from you. Your day trips sound wonderful! Weddings are so much fun and I love the idea of being able to pick your own produce. Good luck with your online class, sending prayers 🙏
Hi Brandi I am so glad to see you back, hope everything is okay with you. 🫂 I have noticed the foaming hand soap is drying, one of the reason I buy gel and mix it with water and put it in a foam dispenser and I find it less drying in my hands. FYI I do the same thing with Scentsy hand soap as well. Yes when I hang my clothes to dry I can smell the scent on my stuff better. I keep saying I need to get thru my testers and then do one and then forget about them and they pile up. You are motivating me to just do it. I absolutely love rise and sunshine in the fall. 🍁 lol I am there timers, reminders and sticky notes 😂 Great empties. 👏👏👏
Hi Aubrey! It's strange, I never had a problem with the foaming soaps up until recently. I've heard quite a few people mention how drying they are and didn't really understand until now. I used to make foaming soap out of the Scentsy soaps too! Somewhere along the way I just got out of the habit but I'm liking just the straight up gel formula these days. I'm so glad I could motivate you to use up those testers. I swear they multiply overnight! Reminders, alarms, sticky notes... it's a way of life now 😅
Enjoyed seeing you back even if for a few moments! We have the EXACT same opinion of honey in wax! I mean exactly! I love honey to eat like on a buttered biscuit. Mmm, mmm good. However, I tried Buzzworthy and Bee my Honey. Yuck and yuck. I too purchased The Bear and the Maiden Fair, because I love all the scent notes and it mentioned only a "drizzle" of honey. I think she made a typo on the description (Lol!), because I got ALL HONEY and a drizzle of everything else! It's a hard pass on honey scents for me!! 😅
This made me laugh out loud Mary! 😄 I'm convinced the word "drizzle" was a typo too! I'll leave it sit (I bought a whole tub 🤦♀️) until next year and cross my fingers that the other notes come out more over time 🤞
@@leesasscentsyandmore3580 Do you get the same thing I get from Cake me to Paradise? I haven't heard anyone else say it but also haven't been able to watch as many videos as I normally do.
