Hi everyone! After about a month and a half of lurking on here, facebook and you-tube I finally took the leap and placed my first order this afternoon. A little about me... I am Amy, originally from Minnesota - about 40 minutes south of the Twin Cities. I just moved on June 29th to Cape Coral, Florida. I live with my boyfriend of 9 years, Brandon and our cat Boo. We moved south to be closer to my parents. The move is what really forced me to wait on placing my first order to be honest, but now that we are here and somewhat settled in I look forward to becoming a regular!
I enjoy all types of scents and would be welcome to any suggestions on ones to try! Looking forward to posting my first review and maybe even posting video on you-tube ;D

Welcome Amy - You will love it here. Just let us know what scents you like and we can give you a lot of suggestions. My favorites probably are Victoria's bakery - they are amazing. But, I also love the fruity, house blends and the customer creations are also out of this world.

Thanks everyone! I enjoy trying different scents myself, and do enjoy a little bit of everything. If there is one that I try to avoid it would be anything with to much cinnamon. Brandon loves sweet fruity scents so always looking for new ideas there. I also like clean/ beachy type scents for the bathroom - need a go to from CBV for sure!
I made a "master list" of over 100 scents that I really want to try, looks like I have lots of SS in my future. So I tried to get a mix and had a nice little plot going until we got the newsletter about July's new scents LOL... here is what I got:
1 of each in SS: 007 Singapore Sling Bear Claws Honeydew Pear Caramelized Pralines Because Of You P.S I Love You Champagne Pomegranate Elvis Cotton Candy White Ginger Queen Of de-Nile St. Lucia Bella Swan Honey Vanilla Love Dust
8oz Tureen in Perfect Peach n' Raspberry Gauva Mini Jelly in Sugar Kisses
What would you consider the best size candle for a bathroom and also for average sized bedroom to get the best throw without having a huge candle?
Looking into placing a soap order soon!

bear claws is great , its a nutty cinnamon doughy bakery scent!
white ginger is my absolute favorite (for some reason men are drawn to this scent! when i burn it my boyfriend wont give it a rest. *note im not the only person to get these effects* haha
and caramelized pralines is so damn good ! SO buttery.
for me the best sized candle for a bathroom is the 4 oz jar. They are $5.00 and scent my bathroom perfectly without being overpowering !
Singapore Sling is on my next order. ever since I heard it smells like Lemon Poppyseed Muffins i was SOLD

Brandon really wanted bear claws, to be honest I have my doubts because of the cinnamon but the reviews I have seen have all been good. Plus I told him he could pick out a few for himself so there was no avoiding it.
I am thinking of ordering fair day next order, but I have a feeling I need that in a candle for sure!

I really like Fair Day, but if you want a true apple scent, Macintosh Apple is really good. You will love 007 and Singapore Sling - they are probably my favorite Black Label scents. And, St. Lucia is also a good one - it would be a nice bathroom scent. Scent shots are the way to try out Victoria's scents - it is so much fun! Please be sure and give us a review.
