I had to go back and look and it had only been four days since your last video but it felt much longer to me..I was going into withdrawals. I watch quite a few candle reviews and I must say you are my absolute favorite..I learn so much from you and I trust your opinion. Thanks for a great review on your December candles. I am going to share something with you that has totally taken me by surprise. I have been very bummed lately with the strength and throw from both Voluspa and BBW. I found two wonderful surprises in the last few weeks. One was with Goose Creek candles and the other was with Better Homes and Gardens. I know...right??? The strength and throw from both of these lines is hands down awesome. A little single wick candle from Goose Creek called coffee house is so yummy and scented my entire apartment and I have ten foot ceilings. The lemon balm and cedar two wick from Better Homes and Gardens totally ROCKS. All told both came to less than $15...I have a large Kringle order coming in tonight or tomorrow. My fingers are crossed.
I would adjust your expectations with Kringle 😂 Voluspa is known for bad type, but I agree, BBW has not had a stellar year in the strength/throw department
@@coffeecandles3359 OK thanks for the warning..lol...at least I bought it all on sale. I have one shelf in a closet dedicated to the dud candles..its labeled "for power outages only" I might have to expand it two shelves to accommodate the incoming duds 😂
It was Lakeside Foliage. I had it in my cart until I heard people say pickle and cucumber. I have no interest in a pickle candle, and I really hate cucumber scents. I was hoping for an aquatic, crunchy fall leaves scent. I absolutely love the Volupsa jars, but unless it is the giant hearth candle, I get no throw from their jar candles.
Nice empties, Happy New Year! How I keep track of candles is when they're bought, I make a list when I burn them. It really helps me out. Orange Clove is still at T.J. Maxx. Happy hunting/burning. BBW Marshmallow Fireside and GC's retired large double wick Snow Covered Apples have been really good. The dill pickle candle is Lakeside Foliage.
@@coffeecandles3359 You're welcome, your explanatory review of that one was hilarious. I'm finishing BBW To All A Good Night, had to pour out some wax due to puny wicks even though they had the spider leg wicks. Nice scent. The stores have new Spring items including Garden Weather, Lemon, Apple, Lavender, Sunkissed Morning, Self Care Sunday, and Springtime Greenhouse soaps, plus new and returning candles.
I was pleasantly surprised by sas at a location I rarely shop at today. They had many single wicks in pumpkin bonfire 75% off and that is one of my fall favs. They also had Tis the season, caramel pumpkin, and gingerbread bakery.
I'm burning the Hanukah jelly donut candle today, in fact. I fall into the "not Jewish, but loved the design so picked it up and smelled it, and loved it" camp. That said, it's WAY too strong! I have to burn it out on the balcony, with the slider shut, and I still get plenty of fragrance in the condo. Like your black band Yankees, the damn thing fills up the entire cul de sac! 🤣
Same here on Amaretto Pumpkin… I really like the cold smell but when burning it kind of smells to me like a roasted squash that was left too long in the oven
Did you not burn the Yankee peppermint mocha candle from the cafe collection or did I miss it? I was looking forward to your thoughts. I loved that Candle.
Bath and Body works is better than Kringle. I can’t with the Kringle Ambassadors giving negative reviews ab BBW but always raving about Kringle. But everyone’s entitled to their own opinion :)
Yay!! A long video with Serita!!🍿☕️😊

Thanks Serita - Love me some BBW candles!!
Your face when you smelled the “mystery wax”…🤣🤣😂
Yes!! Love it 😍
I’ve gotta try the chilla 😊

I love BBW palo santo and sage, it makes my home feel like I am at a spa. I need more of that candle. 💜

Pumpkin Bonfire is soooo great!
Great empties 🎉🎉

No not yet, I was thinking of that one too! Tonight!

Right now, I do think BBW is better
I greatly prefer Kringle over BBW.
