When is your birthday Lisa? Nothing wrong with treating yourself for your birthday especially if it coincides with a sale. Please tell us what you think of the new scents once you have tried them! They all sound so good. I hope you like Frankincense & Myrrh too! Congratulations on your first glitter candle! Platinum is such a pretty and unique one too and you can never go wrong with Under The Harvest Moon. There will always be time for the black cauldron later maybe closer around Halloween. Can't wait to see pictures!

Under the Harvest Moon is a fabulous choice for the platinum glitter since it is actually a warm toned metallic (glitter on the right)!
Oh, that Farmhouse Gathering Cutie looks like an Adult Birthday Party! That's Beautiful! Happy Birthday!

Let us know how your scents work out! I would be interested about Pumpkin Cupcake myself. I'm glad you ordered a Cutie! I'm curious about the burn time on those babies, they probably last for a really long time.
I too, also ordered! Was waiting for this sale for a really good while. I re-read her flier last night and kicked myself, should have ordered right at April 1st to see if I could be qualified for one of those gift certificates. I ordered a bunch of the ones that people recommended, like AbbieJolie - Pecan Pie, Cayla- Grape Soda and Sophie Bell. I was very much in the mood for very sweet smelling scents if you can't tell... and a few odds and end ones.
Here is what I ordered last night:
Scent Shots: Back Roadin' Cracking Birch Chai Tea Neroli Blossom Pomegranate Oak Cottage Garden Emperor's Love Hot Maple Latte Million Dollar Baby Bear Claws Mystic Berry Berries & Cream Butterfly Kisses Raspberry Rainbow
Scent Shots Black Label Singapore Sling
Mini Jelly Jar Candle Pecan Pie Carnation Bermuda Triangle Birds of Paradise Orange Chiffon Cake Strawberry Jam Pucker Up
8 oz. No Frills Sampler Sophie Belle Coconut Water Grape Soda Cantaloupe Lily Tiny Bubbles Lime Crystal Kisses

I'm glad the platinum glitter is warm because my kitchen is warm and that is where I will be displaying the glitter tureen. In some pictures of the platinum glitter it looked more champagne/beige. My favorite glitter (from pics at least) is the gem orange. It looks like such a soft and pretty coral color.
Hanna you ordered a lot of great scents and a lot I have never tried before. Mystic Berry catches my eye every time I see it, I'm so curious to know what you think about it when you get it.
I've been melting a mix of new scents and ones that I love. My next order of scent shots (might be awhile) will probably be mostly favorites.

Don't forget the sale ends tonight at 11:59 PM! Today is the 1st of April and the Easter Egg Hunt has begun as well
My husband requested 3 lip balms in peppermint patty so I placed an order technically today according to CST. I am hosting my sisters baby shower with my mom and decided to pick up a few mini jelly jar candles for prizes for games. I'm not sure how many people will be coming (was told plan for 40!!!) so getting a bunch of candles for favors wasn't in my budget. I tried to pick colors for the mini jelly jar candles in colors from the baby shower plate. Tell me if you think the scents I chose for the mini jelly jars sound like ones most people will like. Here is what I got - Mini Jelly Jars - Blue - Barefoot In Blue Jeans Yellow - Bathtime With PoohOrange - SatsumaGreen - DKNY Delicious Pink - Pink Sugar & CoconutWhite - Sweet SnowBarefoot In Blue Jeans Cutie - for my pregnant sister because she loves this scent and the little feet seemed pretty perfect for a baby shower. The Luna Lullaby would have been perfect too but I don't know if she'd like the scent. I went with a scent I knew she loved. Room Spray - Stress Relief (for the car of course ) Tinted Lip Balms - (I'm in love with the lip balms and tinted lip balms) Tint - Kiss Me Coral, Flavor - Cotton Candy
Tint - Red Hot Momma, Flavor - Strawberry Margarita
Body Spray -
Papaya Waterlily Body Lotion -
Papaya Waterlily

Sorry Cayla you asked when my birthday is and I never answered. My birthday is on April 22nd - Earth Day.
My mom is born April 3rd, I'm April 22nd, and my youngest sisters are born April 1st (yep April Fools Day) and the baby (27 this year, named April) is born on April 14th. By the time my birthday came around I was sick of cake and wanted Mexican food haha!
If I don't get the mini jelly jars in time for the baby shower on May 3rd I'm going to give them to my sisters.

That is such a great idea for baby shower gifts! The color coding with the scents is super adorable. All of the scents you got seem to suit every nose except for maybe bakery sticklers, but I'm sure one of those great scents is bound to suit their fancy. I'm sure you will make new CBV converts. Those plates are so cute! I'm such a sucker for cute things like that. I hope the shower goes well and you guys have a great time. It is funny you are April 22nd my older brother is April 21 lol. He is the only April birthday that I know of in my family. I don't blame you for being worn out on cake and wanting something different. Usually on my birthday I want an ice cream cake, but one year I just wasn't in the mood for conventional cakes so we made a fruit pizza. I don't know if you know what that is so just in case I will explain it lol. The bottom is sugar cookie, then it is topped with cream cheese and powdered sugar frosting then you top it with whatever fruit you like. Mine had kiwis, bananas, and strawberries and I think maybe a few grapes but I don't recall. So if you are looking for something sweet that isn't cake like you might give making one of those a try. And that way you won't have to worry about your son's nut allergy as long as you look at the cookie packaging. I think, I'm not real sure what all does use processed nuts or machinery that has had those on them.

I think CBV makes a great gift (but of course I'm addicted)and yes of course let's hope a few new converts are made. Coconut Cream Pie was going to be the white scent but last minute something told me to pick a mint. I love decorating for parties. I wish I had an endless budget but there are so many cute ideas all over the internet. For some very odd reason I don't have a Pinterest account but I do find some of the best ideas there. Mmmmmmm cookie fruit pizza! I have had it before but have never made it. My sister makes a cream cheese and powder sugar dip for fruit is to die for. We use to buy pre-made cookie mix in the bags all of the time before we learned of my sons nut allergy. There is a chocolate chocolate chip that is so delicious as well as a gingersnap but neither are safe anymore. Labeling is kind of hit or miss. If a food contains an allergen it needs to be labeled but if it is processed on the same equipment or in a shared facility with an allergen then labeling it as such is voluntary. I see recall alerts pop up all of the time in an allergen group on FB I follow. The recalls are usually because I product contained an allergen that wasn't listed on the packaging, scary stuff. We definitely aren't suffering from lack of sweets, www.peanutfreeplanet.com carries nut free chocolate from safe companies and Canada has better labeling than we do it seems. We make cookies from scratch now. Well.....my teen makes cookies and brownies and any chance she can. We haven't made sugar cookies from scratch yet all though I have a huge tub of cookie cutters that we haven't used yet either. I have lots of little cookbooks but don't bake or cook as much you'd think I would based on the amount of cookbooks I own.

My family is the same way! My sister and my cousin have birthdays on April 2nd and my birthday is the 17th. My best friends birthday is April 8th. I love having a birthday in April because it is almost half way to Christmas. I feel bad for the people with birthdays in December because they don't have as much to look forward to on the present front until next christmas

The weather is usually nice too I have a nephew who is born on December 22nd. He does get pretty spoiled with gifts pretty much always so I don't think he is missing out in the gift department. However I was so upset that his parents didn't find anything wrong wrapping his gifts in Christmas gift wrap. My son was born one week after Haloween and I hope when he is older we he will want to have a costume/Halloween themed birthday party.
