Finally able to catch up here! My sisters baby shower was last Saturday and she gave birth 2 1/2 weeks early to my nephew Ezra He is super healthy and was quite a good size for being early 7lbs 7oz and 20 inches long. My son was the same weight and was a week late! The mini jelly jars I gave away as prizes at the baby shower went over very well! One girl exclaimed she "loves candles" Last night and today I melted Safari Sunset. For those of you have tried and liked Peach Magnolia Raspberry I think you'd like Safari Sunset too. It has a great throw and lasts for quite while. Imagine Peach Magnolia Raspberry but swap the peach and raspberry out with orange/citrus. I find it to be a nice break from bakery (I swear my house smelling like a cupcake hahaha). Some other scents I've melted recently are Barefoot In Blue Jeans. I gave my sister her BFIBJ Coffee Cup Cutie the day before the baby shower and she was so excited she burned it right away. I love that scent so I threw it in my warmer when I came home. It is a long lasting scent too. Raisin Rum was in the warmer the other night when my husband came home late from work. He said "It smells like oatmeal cookies in here". Of course I had to disappoint the poor guy by once again telling him that the delicious bakery smell was just wax.

Congrats to the new addition to your family Lisa! Good to hear that he is a healthy tyke. =0D I've been in the citrus mood lately so I think I'll add Safari Sunset to my wishlist.
It's funny, boyfriend doesn't care too much for these scents but he helped me chose to burn Grape Soda today. Cayla is so totally correct on this - it smells JUST LIKE GUMMY BEARS. In the beginning it did smell distinctly like Grape + Fizzy Pop but it had over a month of curing and it smells like sweet treats. Very marvelous - glad I made the jump of faith of having this in an 8 oz!
Wonderful day today, I hope everyone is doing well!

Thank you he is a sweet baby! Now I need a niece Thanks to Cayla I ordered Grape Soda as well. Super yum! I am not sure which came first tonight, my craving to eat cereal for a late night snack or my desire to melt Captain Crunch Berries. Either way I did both! This is one of those scents you will never think you need to try until you finally try it and realize you must always have it. This smells dead on like the cereal.

Congratulations to your sister Lisa! I'mg glad the baby is healthy! And I'm so happy that the baby shower went over well and they liked the candles. You picked really good ones! And I think I smelt Safari Sunset way back in the first round robin I participated in. I marked it as one I didn't care for, but you know that was a loonnngg time ago and my nose has changed. Plus one has to be careful with round robin scents because some you don't know how long have been curing and which ones have accidentally absorbed a little bit of the scent it is next too....hmm curiouser and curiouser. Might have to catch it if it ever comes up again in another one. As for Captain Crunch Berries, I kind of want to try it and Fruit Loops, but at the same time I'm just not big into cereal and I'm not so sure I'd want my house to smell like it either. But people seem to go crazy for it and you know I never thought I'd like Grape Soda but we all now how that turned out lol.

Captain Crunch berries and Fruit Loops are both scents I wildly ordered never expecting to like them but needed to see what the hype was all about. Both are fantastic! They are fruity, fun, and innocent. They remind me of slumber parties and summertime lazy days. I guess Trix Are For Kids is next.
