If you would like me to review any of these in depth, just list the scents below and I would be happy to do that just for you. I am excited to melt such a motley basket of scents. Scarlette has already fallen in love with Berrilicious Cotton Candy Skittles, and I must admit, it is quite a juicy fruity strong scent! In fact, it prompted me to make my very first Sassy Girl Aroma order on Saturday. It turned out to be a bit of a kerfuffle since it was a new website but my order did go through. I am quite looking forward to it.




February is shaping up to have some exciting times promised. It is a Leap Year which is kind of special I suppose. Plus my oldest will be turning 9 on Valentine's Day. She wants to go to Universal Studios Diagon Alley so that is pretty cool. Plus she requested a vanilla Hedwig cake, which will be fun for me to make. I see lots of vanilla bean pods in my future. And there is nothing I love to do in the kitchen as much as seed vanilla bean pods... the aroma is enchanting.


I restocked on paints and canvases so I can get my brushes wet once again. I have missed painting sorely since I went back to work full time. Sewing too for sure, but painting is purely for fun. Sewing can feel like a chore when it is to mend clothes and such. 


Do you have any hobbies you miss or have rekindled? If you could start a new hobby what would it be? You know mine... knitting. One day.

  1. Great wax selection; SGA is one of my recent favorites! I adore IHop especially. I'm currently job hunting and hopefully getting ready to move into a new place; so one of my favorite hobbies I will resume is reading in the bathtub! I also hope to start going to the gym again since I will be much closer to it. I really enjoy swimming and yoga.

    1. How exciting Amanda! Praying you land something you will love. And congrats on s new place! As soon as you get there please send me your new address! Swimming and yoga are amazing. I keep wanting to join a gym too but time is killing me. I have so much I want to do but never enough hours in the day. I need to find a way. We always do for the things we want right?

  2. This sounds like it was a wonderful week of scents!

    I hope you find the time to rekindle your passion for painting and sewing! It's funny how doing something for fun can be so relaxing, but the moment it's for work or something equally important it loses that fun factor. :)

    Right now I'm missing pretty much all of the crafting hobbies that I left behind in this move. I was so certain that I wouldn't need my jewelry making supplies, or polymer clay, or nail glitters/foils/stamps/etc., but here I am missing all of these things.

    For a new hobby... hmmm. Making stickers. I love them so much, I don't see why I don't just make them for myself!

    1. It was a fun week! Some I put together and blended so it went faster than I expected. I feel exactly the same way about hobbies which is why I could never sew for money on a large scale.

      How would you make the stickers? Digitally or drawing by hand?
