Free Wax, Part 3! (SOLD!)

Good afternoon! 

I have one large flat rate box of wax to give away today! I'm not buying much wax these days - in fact I went from November-April without purchasing any wax at all. But once spring finally came around, I found myself craving fresh and citrus scents so I indulged and placed a few orders. My rule is: when more wax comes in, must make room for it. Besides that, I melt my wax at a snail's pace. The amount the average wax lover melts in a day is probably what I melt in a month. Time to clear out!

And so, for those of you still out there in blog land, I offer this box filled with wax to you with the cost of shipping only. It's a large flat rate jam packed with lots of good stuff. Most of it is beat up or older wax, which is why I'm offering it for free. There's mostly fruity and bakery (some fall/spicy), with a few fresh/lavender scents thrown in mix! The first person to e-mail me gets the box!

Here it is:

SOLD - FREE WAX DESTASHES, part 2!

Destash-o-rama time!!!

I've honed my stash down to a wonderfully manageable level and I'm really enjoying it! However, that leaves me with oodles and oodles of wonderful smelling wax that I have to find loving homes for! I have collected bags and boxes for friends to give away, put aside things that I will be trying to get rid of in FB destash groups, but again, that leaves me with still more wax to share. So here it is!

Before I try to re-home these destashes on FB, I will again first extend this offer to those who are still following this blog. Thanks again to all of you who have stuck around in this waxy journey and I love you all <3

FREE WAX! - SOLD!

Well hello there! It's been quite awhile, hasn't it? As my focus in life shifted, my focus on wax shifted as well. For a few months there, I did not have the desire to purchase wax at all! I was content to melt through my stash and I didn't think twice about checking to see when my favorite vendors would open or watching wax videos or anything like that.

You see, things were changing for me. After a year-long health crisis, I finally managed to compile a team of doctors and holistic practitioners who could help.  I left my job. I started my own business. I went back to school. We finally started on our long awaited complete home remodel. Friends and family are having babies. Friends and family are getting married. Life is sweet.

But I started to miss wax. I've had other hobbies. Nail polish. Makeup. Bath and body products. Knitting (or at least attempting to knit). Antiquing. Scrapbooking. Other shit. But the one hobby that has been the most persistent throughout my life is wax. The first time I ever ordered from Candles from the Keeping Room was in 2005, when she was still Candles by Carol on eBay. The first time I ever used a Yankee tart was in elementary school.

So it seems the wax is an enduring love for me and I don't think it'll ever go away. I cannot imagine life without things that smell good! And so, Rosegirls opened. Fall is on the horizon. Just like that, I'm back into wax mode. Maybe not full force - I still am not huge into the whole Facebook aspect of the wax world and I'm still probably not going to stockpile wax like I once was. But I'm still here!

~~~~

And so, this is where the free wax comes in! I have accumulated a lot of it, of course, in the past few months where I have been purchasing again.

On FB destash groups, there is a thing called "ass wax" destashes. It is when you put a box together of wax that is less than desirable for regular destashes and you offer it for free with the cost of shipping.

I was going to offer these 2 destashes in a FB destash group but I figured, why not offer them to my readers who have stuck around througout the course of this blog! The wax in these is much nicer that what you would probably get in the average "ass wax" destash, so I didn't necessarily want to call them that. So, here's my FREE WAX destashes!

~~~~

The deal with these free wax destashes is as follows:

• The wax is FREE, buyer pays shipping. These are in large flat rate boxes and will cost $15.80 for US buyers and will have to be calculated for international buyers.
• This is open to US and international readers!
• Paypal only.
• One box per person.

Thanks to all who have stuck around on this blog! I appreciate each and every one of you. Take care and I hope to be back soon!

Collective January and Early February Hauls

It's the same old story. I find myself with ambitions of regularly updating this blog, but life always seems to get in the way. I took these pictures weeks ago with intentions of doing full reviews and scent descriptions for each vendor haul, but I have found it nearly impossible to find time to do that these days. I do miss being able to blog on the regular, but life has been very kind to me so I can't complain. 

I'm up to my eyeballs in wax again. Our house is about to be under construction, so I need to get the wax down to a reasonable size so I can transport it easily from room to room while things are being redone. Expect some majorly major destashes/RAOKS/giveaways/etc. from me soon. 

I've decided to share the rest of the pictures of my January hauls in this one post. Yes, I realize that it's March and I'm still trying to get my January hauls up here. So I'm a bit late. I won't be doing full scent descriptions/cold sniff reviews for each product I've purchased anymore (at least for these type of posts) so please let me know if something catches your eye and you'd like to hear more about it! I did place a few orders from new vendors which will be featured in "New Vendor Spotlight" posts, which will be more comprehensive than these types of haul posts.

Another goal: melted reviews! One day my friends. One day.

January theme: BUBBLE GUM! I became slightly obsessed with bubble gum scents this month, you may notice as such in my scent choices. Also, sping/summer/fruity scents!

CANDLE LAB
Candle Lab is an amazing store in Columbus, Ohio where you can blend and pour your own candles and tarts! We visit Columbus quite often but never have taken the time to make our own blends. We stayed in Columbus for my birthday and made sure we had enough time to make our own this time! It was so much fun and I cannot wait to go back!

The loot!

Our blending worksheets! I vetoed my hubby's blend of pineapple/mango/guava because BBW has a similar Pineapple Mango candle but I was definitely impressed with his blending skills! (Please excuse the oily prints on mine, I kept referring back to my list as I was blending my oils)

Giant custom blended clamshells in: Black Cherry/Watermelon/Pomegranate, Dark Chocolate/Coffee Bean/Whipped Cream and Coconut/Pineapple/Brown Sugar (all are incredible!)

Custom blended candle in: Morning Dew/Hyacinth/Verbena (so fresh and spring-y!)

That's all for now! Thanks for stopping by and hope you all have a fantastic week <3
