I know paraffin is awful for breathing but I ...Yes. I know paraffin is awful for breathing but I just love Carol's CFTKR scents. They throw and smell so good. :-( But I don't melt them everyday and I am sure the more you melt and larger quantities are worse than small scale melting. I do feel more comfortable melting soy and other natural waxes (but not palm). Sometimes I throw my hands up at everything that is "bad" for me and just try to live with some modicum of enjoyment. I did quit smoking, quit dipping, quit drinking. I moved to all natural deodorant. I rarely drink soda. But I still love my smellies and my coffee and my candles. Baby steps. <3TheRedolentMermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025330454820306972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-36879718866613274522017-04-26T10:54:38.752-04:002017-04-26T10:54:38.752-04:00I asked Moona a question about fragrance load and ...I asked Moona a question about fragrance load and she mentioned her wax formula is soy and beeswax only, and the benefits to air quality from beeswax vs paraffin. I was under the impression there wasn't anything to be gained unless it is burned. Anyway, thinking about making a candle with her used tarts.

Now that I know there is none in there LOL! I am going to try and stay on top of it too. I see they are trying to restock soon. And making MoonaLisa Mystery bags. I think I want the Goddess one.

And I saw that they're expanding their wax business soon - that's pretty cool. I'll definitely be checking them out, their offered scents so far are right in my wheelhouse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-15528084193035712552017-03-03T08:53:31.960-05:002017-03-03T08:53:31.960-05:00I melted Kris Kringle, I think it's great!

I fell for the branding too. MoonaLisa does a great job of that. The scent choices are few but it is nice to just buy a few and not have to worry about outrageous flat rate shipping costs.

I have noticed that products DO smell slightly different in soap, wax, lotion and condition and such even if they use the same exact oil blends and formulas. I believe it the differences in the mediums that make it this way. For instance, Tiggy's Sylph in soap is more herbal lavender but in wax is sweeter and way more marshmallow filled and so on. Glad to hear you liked Pumpkin Batter! I ordered Dicken's Fair but was emailed and told it was oversold so I got refunded it. Kinda bummed but it happens.TheRedolentMermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025330454820306972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-78616795609341276612017-03-01T16:42:06.383-05:002017-03-01T16:42:06.383-05:00Hi Lacey!

I got the same as you without Carnival Cakes, sounds like one to try! I melted Winter Hearth last night and this morning and it smells like smoke and frankincense. Pumpkin Batter I loved in soap and picked up a candle in a destash, I will get that next time also. In candle form it was good but I thought it was great in soap, not sure if it was the same exact formulation of the blend. I assume to make a blend work in wax sometimes substitutions are made to better handle the heat.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12720810461114999061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-27019443360169274362017-03-01T07:35:56.277-05:002017-03-01T07:35:56.277-05:00Kris! Yay! Nice to meet you :-D
It is great stuf...Kris! Yay! Nice to meet you :-D <br /><br />It is great stuff! I will continue to browse their goodies and watch for certain scents. Carnival Cakes was one of those comfy spiced bakeries that I enjoy. Thank you for the notes! I tried searching and could not pull up anything. I want to melt it but then I kind of want to save it for Christmas. I might save it just to see how MooScents does long term in the shelf life area. Or melt some now and melt some later. Their Douglas fir EO has been notoriously light for me in the past in soap and body products. Maybe that is why I get more spiced bakery on this one. Or maybe my nose is just sensitive to it. <br /><br />Hope you have a great day!!
