Last August was my first dip into the wonderful wax pool that is Rosegirls. I purchased two bags (cranberry lodge and pumpkin polooza) and a sampler. I was hooked.
I missed the January 1st opening earlier this year, however, Muffin Club came to the rescue and I did get 8 custom muffins courtsey of fellow waxy friends Sunnee, Deb, and Lauren (her quick fingers ordered). Thank you!!
May has been a wonderous month of Rosegirls hauls. Three to be exact. The first was from the sampler sale they had in April (one assorted and one fruity bakery). The second was Muffin Club. The third was an in-store purchase from a dear sweet friend. My sampler has been broken apart and gifted here and there so I am unable to capture it for you. Suffice to say they were glorious and I am happy as a clam.
Today is Mufffin Day!
Lauren is very sweet and a wonderful young lady. Not only did she send the muffins we ordered but also many extra yummy smelly things. I love smelly things.
This is Devil Woman. From the description I did not think I would like it (lavender, cherry almond, some type of creaminess- ice cream maybe?). I adore it. It is strong. The lavender complements the cherry-almond and the creaminess takes the edge off.
The first four muffins: ooey gooey caramel/marshmallow smoothie/celtic moonspice (Thanksgiving on steroids, creamy cinnamon toffee goodness), royal sugar cookie/butterscotch/orange revival (creamy caramel orange cakiness- my mom would like this), orange danish/wildberry/vanilla ice cream (ice cream comes in first for me, with a hint of a jam vibe with orange zest in it), and vanilla oak/vanilla musk/wild honey bee (a super strong blend that smells just like Lush's Honey I washed the Kids to my nose).
Last four muffins: Gilligan's Brew/Vanilla Ice Cream/FL keylime pie (smells like a lime creamsicle-yum), sweet lavender/sweet lemon confection (I swear RG has the best lemon in history, I get that watering pinch in the sides of my jaws when I smell this- mostly straight up lemon but oh so good), peppermint/watermleon slush/marshmallow smoothie (this is so refreshing- reminds me of a sweet mint watermelon drink I made for my baby's birthday once), satsuma/gilligan's brew/coconut lime verbena (so relieved RG has a great CLV, been bitten by a nasty one before- this muffin smells like a frosty concoction Jimmy Buffett would blend, margarita-esk for sure).
I am so thankful to have been able to be a part of this Muffin Club. I hope I am not premature in my excitement for it to continue! These scents are all wonderful and I look forward to melting them.
I haven't even started melted any of my muffins yet. Once again, I'm shoving all the Rosegirls aside until I melt my way through everything else. I'm getting there though! I think the watermelon one is my surprise favorite of the bunch.

I can't bring myself to cut into them yet either Deb. I think I am going to cut into the first one when the RG site opens back up for viewing. Cheering you on! Glad you are on a melting upswing.
DeleteLOVE IT! Pats on the backs for a successful 1st round muffin club. Lauren was definitely under the gun on this one and did such a great job.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Julie!
Yes! I am loving them all, truly! I am still amazed she got in there. So close. Thank you, I hope your weekend is wonderful. Planning my baby's 5th birthday and a photography class so I can finally learn to use my 6 year old camera. :-)
ReplyDeleteFirst off, huzzah for Rosegirls and yay for muffin club!
ReplyDeleteYour photos with your starfish are amazing, they are gorgeous! It really makes the wax so cool against the Rosegirls items. :)
Devil Woman is soooo good smelling. We really did create some awesome muffins this go around and I hope we can do this again next time they open!!
Huzzah!!! Thanks, I get majorly geeky with themes. It works for birthday parties but goes overboard with everything else lol! Speaking of parties, my little requested a sting ray party. Talk about a challenge. I guess they are part mermaid too.
DeleteYes that Devil Woman is devilishly good! So excited to have her!! Thank you thank you!
I have my blend list ready to roll.
Wait......you're already prepared for the next club with your list?!
DeleteImpressed and in awe! <3
Lol! More like... Nerd Alert! :-D I get excited.
DeleteI have one of my blends decided on. And a list of others that need tweaking.

Looking forward to finding out what they are :-)
DeleteOh my gosh, these tarts look insane sister. I think I may come over the Johnson house and snatch some up when you're not looking! Or convince those two little girls living there to smuggle some for old Aunty Weez. Whatever that Thanksgiving smell is, Ill take 7, thanks.
ReplyDeleteUsing my girls to snuggle contraband tarts huh? I am watching you >shifty eyes< I will certainly share. What good is having blessings if you can't share them?! I am hoping to order from RG soon and scoop us up more RG thanksgiving type scents.
DeleteYour blog makes me feel like I'm on an undersea ride at Disney. But with less chlorine and more DELICIOUSNESS! I'm digging the Gilligan's brew and Jimmy Buffett muffins. After all, it is summer! Shine on, muffin clubbers.
ReplyDeleteThank you <3 you crack me up!!! Yes I will certainly half the Buffett muff with ya. Muffin club ladies are the BEST!! I love them.
