Hey guys so I know I'm about a week late in getting this up, but you know how this season tends to go so quickly. This month's theme is of course Christmas and winter type scents. So I hope you guys like it. This is only part one of my Christmas reviews for the month I will have another one up closer to Christmas as well. I sort of hopped on the holiday train early this year lol so I had a lot of festive scents to melt. Anyways let me know what you guys think of some of the scents or if there was one that you want to try now. BTW if anyone who has smelt Sugar Drops and knows what kind of candy it reminds me of will you PLEASE tell me? It is driving me batty not knowing exactly what candy it smells like. Anyways enough babble here is the review. queentakesjack22.blogspot.com/2013/12/its-most-wonderful-time-of-year.html

I love all your Christmas themed gifs! I also liked the fact that you used wintery scents since I'm usually a "burn/melt whatever I feel like" type of person.
I wasn't really a huge fan of Apple Gingerbread Spice since I'm not a huge gingerbread fan either! I really wanna try Sugar Drops and Snow Taffy! I also feel like I'm the only person who's never tried Sugared Spruce!

Great review and thank you!! I am about to place another order and was wondering about those. I'm not a spruce/evergreen fan unless it is in the woods lol, so I might just have to try Sugared Spruce and see for myself.

I'm not a spruce/evergreen fan unless it is in the woods lol, so I might just have to try Sugared Spruce and see for myself. You might also want to try Rocky Mountain Christmas. It is Sugared Spruce only it smells a tad bit more outdoorsy so it smells more like a real evergreen out in the woods kind of smell.

I also feel like I'm the only person who's never tried Sugared Spruce! I used to feel the same about being the only one who hadn't tried Sugared Spruce so I gave into peer pressure lol. Now I think I might succumb to even more pressure to try Peace. I think I'm the only one who has yet to try that one.

Cayla I just love your reviews! Your description of Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal has me craving a bowl of the real thing. I used to eat oatmeal all of the time and this definitely the right time of year for it. I am finding that I really liked apple scents and definitely think this one needs to find it's way into my life! Snow Taffy is one of my gifts for Christmas that I am not allowing myself to melt (yes I sniffed it, I'm WEAK!) until after December 25th. December 26th look out! I love candy type scents and Sugar Drops sounds like it is for me. I was afraid by the description it would be too sweet but I feel like if you can handle its sweetness so can I Of course I think I will have to add this to my next order list so we can put our heads together to figure out which mystery childhood candy it reminds you of. Mmmmm cookies! After reading your review I don't know if I want to smell or eat cookies. BOTH! I am so glad that you liked Sugared Spruce! I don't get a pine note either. It is a sweet evergreen to me that brings life to my fake Christmas tree HA! I think you will definitely like Peace. If you don't may I be banished from ever suggesting a scent again, okay not banished but maybe grounded...

Lisa, I just placed a Christmas order for a tart warmer and shots for my brother and his new house. I had to get him Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal cuz it is so homey feeling and I know he likes apple scents.
I can't wait to see if you like Snow Taffy. I always get antsy when I recommend a scent to someone. I never want them to hate it lol.
Sugar Drops I didn't find too sweet at all. If you can handle Candy Crush or Pink Bubblegum Crush or even Heavy Metal then you can handle that one more than likely.
I know I want to eat some Christmas cookies! I want to make some too, but I have to go to the store to do that and with both of my parents now sick with the stomach flu I've got to keep my eyes on them.
Haha I really need to try it. I hear so much love for Peace but I always forget about it when I'm actually placing an order. Maybe I will get lucky and find it in the Round Robin box when it gets to me, then again maybe not since people might love it too much to give up lol.

I love your reviews! I am getting ready to make a bowl of apple cinnamon oatmeal right now! It's my favorite too. I do have a question, though, does anyone know the difference etween snow taffy and vanilla bean Noel? They sound extremely similar! Is there one you guys prefer? I've tried VBN from BBW and I absolutely loved it!!

I've tried VBN from BBW and I absolutely loved it!! In my experience Snow Taffy and Vanilla Bean Noel are totally different scents. Granted I first tried Vanilla Bean Noel in my I believe 2nd order ever of CBV so it was a looonnnggg time ago and I was still learning about cure times and what not. Looking back on it I don't think I gave Vanilla Bean Noel enough cure time because while it was vanilla and caramel smelling I also got this heavy perfume smell that made it too sickeningly sweet for me so I shut off my warmer and gave the shot away either in a round robin or to my aunt. Now I'm thinking I just didn't let it cure much because I think I only waited like a week back then to melt my shots. Still Snow Taffy is different though because it is more vanilla with just a touch of some cocoa and some butter to make it a bit richer where as I remember Vanilla Bean Noel to be a mixture of caramel and vanilla so it was a bit more sweeter and noticeable. I think if you like the B&BW version you may like Victoria's as well.

Maybe I will get lucky and find it in the Round Robin box when it gets to me, then again maybe not since people might love it too much to give up lol. I don't think I hate too many scents. On cold sniff Snow Taffy wont disappoint Heavy Metal is one of those scents I have noticed not too many people care for. I actually liked it. It's not a scent I can't live with out but it was fun and reminded me of Mr. Pibb. My husband and I really liked Candy Crush on cold sniff but our kids are aliens because they didn't like it. I'm sure their minds will change once I melt it. I hope you get to sniff Peace. I'm contemplating getting Peace in a bath bomb.
