It always coordinates so well. I hope she does a fall pre-order soon. <br /><br />I thought you would appreciate the Mickey heads too! They are so cute! And I had no idea about the smell generator but it makes sense. Disney is just great like that. <br /><br />Yeah, somehow the theme parks get all the attention. And Gatorland is a fun place to take the fam. Very old Florida. The girls and I loved it when they were little. Funny thing, I have yet to actually go to the Everglades. I need to put that on my bucket list.

I love it. <br /><br />She really knocked this pre-order out of the park. There wasn't one scent that I didn't get along with. I like certain tea scents but a cloying sweet black tea or tea and cakes is not something I enjoy at all. I like a smooth green tea, early grey or chai though. I love that your sister got some goodies and that you discovered a love for lemon curd. It is such a vibrant scent. I regret not getting the earthy sampler, as usual.

Their stuff is so, so beautiful - it always looks great whenever you photograph it (Jay had a recent order, too, that she had laid out so beautifully.) I think it's all those gorgeous pastel colours and the gilded shimmer.<br /><br />And Mickey heads!!!!! Inspired by the goodies along Main Street in the Magic Kingdom, it looks like (the incredible scents of which, by the way, are mostly artificial - some animal called a Smellerizer, I think, pumps out that incredible popcorn/cotton candy/waffle cone scent (the waffle cone one might be actual baking waffle cones, as they make those on site.)<br /><br />Two things, though - 1) Dole Whip might smell great, but it's really overrated and 2) Florida *isn't* just Disney? Huh, weird. Well, I guess there's also the Universal parks. ;) And if you want to go way old school, GATORLAND (also known as the Everglades.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320833098339108738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-53159487600616310052018-08-08T00:23:35.139-04:002018-08-08T00:23:35.139-04:00Everything sounds and looks so wonderful from your...Everything sounds and looks so wonderful from your order!!

Scents I'm intrigued by: the caramel popcorn, I'm into it and who's better than Zahida at caramel? Amber Sunset, Ma Cherie, South Beach (I <3 Miami), Lavender Creme Brulee, Marshmallow Delight, San Marcos and Naples, is that all of them, lol. I didn't know you don't like tea scents, ah well, I love them so much [not tea and cakes, just varieties of tea}.<br />Before I sign off, I couldn't order more wax when this was offered but I mentioned it to my sis hoping she'd go for the Florida sampler as it's her home away from home. Instead she picked up the bakery, which I was happy to sniff but slightly disappointed as it was 90% fruity bakery or just fruity. Oh well, she's happy with it and turns out I like the lemon curd scent which was a surprise.Jaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849863681125100236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-32757950063853363772018-08-02T21:41:36.754-04:002018-08-02T21:41:36.754-04:00I enjoyed watching Zahida make soap at the HSCG co...I enjoyed watching Zahida make soap at the HSCG conference in Atlanta.
