Scent-sational!!!

OMG, I just got my latest order from Auntie Di's candle shops.  I think I'm in love!  I got the choose 4 scents tart deal from her tart shop http://thetemptingtart.etsy.com/ and a candle from http://auntiedis.etsy.com/ .  For tarts, I chose Sour Watermelon (shown here), Lemon Poppyseed, Marshmellow, and Apple Brown Betty.  They are freakin' awesome!  I have the Watermelon one on right now, and it has made my whole apartment smell great!

The candle I got was Chocolate Coconut Maccaroon.  And let me tell ya, this stuff is fabulous!  I had gotten a sample tart of this scent with a previous order, and I just had to get the real deal.  I put it in the bathroom this morning while I took a shower, and it just put me in a good mood.  I've been jonesing for candles; I think I have melted just about every last speck of my other candles from Di (Strawberry and Sweet Pea) by putting the jars on a warmer and taking advantage of that left over bit on the bottom when the wick is gone.  Eventually I WILL own one of everything this woman makes lol.  But the budget's been pretty tight.  Living on a fixed, once monthly, income pretty much sucks, but I'm getting used to it. 

If you all get a chance, check out http://www.etsy.com/  It will change your life! I'm thinking of Christmas already...

mmmm...strawberries

I got my 1st Etsy order the other day. It was a Strawberry Preserves scented candle from Auntie Di's candle shop. Let me just say, OMG! It smells so freaking delicious I want to eat it with a spoon! Her candles are all soy based, so they are better for the environment. I loved how she sent a little hand written thank you note for the order, and even stuck in a free sample of her wax tarts (country apple, so nice...gave it to my mom who loves anything apple) It really does have a great "throw" of scent; I put it in the bedroom, and the smell floated through my whole apartment. It is just the right amount of scent; it won't bother allergies but makes my place smell like Smuckers lol! Thank you so much Auntie Di! I can't wait to place another order! I want to make my mom a gift basket for her birthday/Mother's Day and I'm going to include a candle or two. Now, just what scent.... I could be here all day!
