Hey Melanie, nice roundup. Summer Cooler is one I would definitely get. My sooty BBW Blue Icelandic Waters and Yankee's Beach Walk are burning nicely, you get that nice aquatic scent. I bought Yankee's Colorful Curacao and St. Lucia Skies from their Carefree Caribbean Collection and like them both on cold. At BBW, I got Pumpkin Apple, Cranberry & Gala Apple, Pumpkin Pecan Waffles, Marshmallow Fireside, Caramel Pumpkin Swirl, and a backup of Autumn Woods. I have some wonderful scents from Yankee that I never burned. One of them is Vineyard, there's a dupe for it called Vine Ripe Grapes and another classic that I have called Tuscan Vineyard which is different. I really like grape scents and Vineyard being a 2018 pour is somewhat difficult to get rid of. I'm burning two candles together now to help me get my collection down, once it's far enough I'll get more BBW because I do not want to miss out on any scent that sounds intriguing. I just sniffed the UK exclusive Cherry Blossom (a passion for fragrance) and it will go next Spring. We have to let go of our prized candles and ones to keep for their aesthetic value and scent memory. It can be painful but you'll feel better about it down the road. Being told not to purchase anymore candles for the time being is a hard thing for me. This will be something that I will cherish and enjoy doing for the rest of my life. Happy burning.
Oh thank you! YES!!!!!! Pink Sands and Petals! Has it come back that you know of???? I swear they always bring back the wrong stuff lol. We need that and Pink Flamingo back!
Sooo I’m a soap maker and I’ve dabbled with wax melts and candles, but I really like the idea of legitimately wickless candles for use in crocks! I could probably add a higher percentage of fragrance since there’s no flame!! Just purchased my crocks. Gonna try it!!
I was a Scentsy consultant, but I unfortunately let my membership go. I will probably rejoin at some point. I am enjoying using my candle crocs, though I never really use them when I had so much sense to get through, but this is also made me learn that my family does not like bakery sense as well as they don’t like my Paris Café from Bath and body Works PS that is one of my favorites. I like anything coffee that they do. Danberry shortbread did not go over well in this house but my beloved Paris Café I can literally put that in my bedroom and you can smell it through my entire house. My house is not that big however but it is very open concept. It is about 1400 ft.² so I think what I’m going to do is get another candle crock for my kitchen that will give me a total of three, and that will leave me good to go for a while.
As I was watching this, instead of dusting my candle shelves, I packed them up for a local move. Not fun, but I appreciate just how many less candles I have to move this time. My last move was 2 years ago and a long distance move. Looking forward to setting up my candle shelves in my new home. 🏡 Thanks for sharing, per usual. R☘️
Its great to see you using up your candles Melanie! You've come a long way!! I've been on a low buy for a few years and only last year did I let myself buy some new fall/winter candles - mainly 1 wicks and like four 3 wick candles from b&bw and I did buy 4 homeworx candles from QVC and 2 from Marshalls - not surprising I think I only got through 2 in total for that fall/winter season! :( I actively look at them in my "candle" closet corner every few weeks to say No more candles use these up!! I really don't have many spring/summer scent candles remaining just wax melts/scentsy because in Texas I really don't want to add MORE heat to my house! Currently melting Kringle's sweet stuff wax melts(from last summer) so good and thanks for the rec on that one!!
Hi Melanie! I just wondered if you have tried BBW Whipped Coconut Milkshake candle? I know you like coconut but don't remember if I've seen you mention that one. It came out for SAS.
I saw that one but I had heard that the SAS candles didn't have the best performance. I skipped SAS overall this year again. I think it saved me some money.... which I then turned around and spent it at Voluspa lol.
You are doing so well getting through your collection. I literally have two more Honeworx spring/summer candles in coconut shortbread and I will have burned them all. I still have plenty to get through for fall/winter though. I was just going to purchase as needed, but I did grab 1 of each BBW scent that interested me for $8.50 each plus a 20% coupon, making them only $6.80 each. I couldn't pass that up! Have a great week.
Hi Melanie! I have also come to the realization that I don't want a big candle collection and that I really just want to buy the candles that I want as I use up other ones in my collection in a given season. I've really been inspired by your mindset change and your openness in speaking about it. I wanted to let you know that I went into Bath & Body Works yesterday (Sunday), and they had a scent called Velvet Amber Woods. I gave it a sniff and it is pretty much identical to Kringle's Mon Amour. I didn't get one on my visit yesterday, but since I don't have Mon Amour in my collection anymore, I might go back and get one. The fragrance didn't smack me in the face when I sniffed it, but it's often hard to judge scents in the store because of all the competing aromas. I know this scent isn't "new" to you, but I would love to hear your thoughts on it if you see it at your store and pick one up. Great video as always!! P.S. I think that BBW scent in the ribbed pink container was called Pink Sands & Petals. I wish they would bring it back instead of everything else they keep repackaging.
Yes , I learned to purchase as i go and only making my back up number 2 if i like it and 5 if i love it when it comes to non homeworx candles. I keep my older lids and recycle the slippery ones! My use it is mainly for summer bbw because when i first got into candles i got too many summer.
First off, I think I missed that one and now I am severely bummed about it lol! But I was thinking of Pink Sands and Petals. Did you try that one???? Oh man, so beautiful!
@@MrKongsMomNo. I’ve never even heard of that. 😂 The coconut one is the only ribbed glass that I picked up. I wish I had grabbed an original Berry Waffle Cone.
Hi Melanie I know I’ve mentioned it before and I think a few others have to but you really really should look into those paper wax cups where you can just pop your wax cube in one and melt it and when you’re ready to change it you just pop it out like a Reese‘s peanut butter cup out of a paper and throw the next cube in no cleaning at all and you can reuse those cups over and over as they are lined. They are just so great thanks for this video as always it’s interesting to see what youAre burning and melting
I am with you on this journey! It is definitely lessening (as in there are some holes on my shelving and no candles in different spots/rooms)! Thanks for your continued dedication 🎉

The pink ribbed glass was pink sands and petals. Very pretty 😍
Yes, that was it.

I am so proud of you! I know how much time and work it can take to really whittle things down so I am sending you a long distance high five!
@@MrKongsMom Thanks Melanie! 🙏🏼

I really have. I am so glad I finally got to this place. It feels nice knowing that I am using more of what I have purchased so long ago!

Perimenopause can make your eyes sensitive to light.
Oh yup, that tracks lol! I'm so annoyed by this time of my life haha!

I will for sure need to check out Velvet Amber Woods. I LOVE Mon Amour!

Yes! I replace the new lids too for the most part.
I am in laundry hell myself today so what I am doing this afternoon.
Let's be laundry twins! My pile has doubled since the video and since I decided that last night was not the night to spend 2 hours folding lol.
I had the ribbed glass candle in Oahu Coconut Sunset. It was a bright pink jar. Suuuuper strong.
First off, I think I missed that one and now I am severely bummed about it lol! But I was thinking of Pink Sands and Petals. Did you try that one???? Oh man, so beautiful!

I keep meaning to grab those! I actually saw some at my local grocery store the other day. I need to put them on my shopping list.
I am with you on this journey! It is definitely lessening (as in there are some holes on my shelving and no candles in different spots/rooms)! Thanks for your continued dedication 🎉
I’m so happy you’re enjoying the fragrances ❤ thank you again
Thank you!
