I make a point to get some every year. I picked up Pumpkin Apple hand soap from BBW recently. I cannot wait to try it out. Using the Halloween Cat one first though. <br /><br />Thanks! I am ready to melt some for sure.TheRedolentMermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025330454820306972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-28805413863753361082018-09-12T15:23:28.256-04:002018-09-12T15:23:28.256-04:00Yeah.... it is a bit of a bummer that I can't ...Yeah.... it is a bit of a bummer that I can't just go on and order any longer. But I am happy for her growth. Now I just need to keep tabs on her FB account so I know when she opens. I have a feeling I will be enjoying these custom loaves. Smoky Mountain Berries is one of my very favorites. It is funny you mention peppermint. I don't really ever crave her peppermints. Winter Solstice is nice and I tried her pure peppermint but it was ok. I did try blending the two this last time in a loaf. Curious to see if I will like it. No biggie if not. I know I will love all the other things I bought.

Harvest Cauldron Cider sounds awesome, and a bit like this soap I got from BBW, Pumpkin Apple, I think. It smells fudgin' INCREDIBLE, all pumpkiny apple goodness, love it. :) Enjoy your smell goods.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320833098339108738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-12121365008650484342018-09-11T15:53:22.346-04:002018-09-11T15:53:22.346-04:00The throw on them bad boys is wonderful too! Fast ...The throw on them bad boys is wonderful too! Fast acting and long lasting!! <br />I believe they are only for electric warmers. I copied and pasted below about it<br /><br />"Scent Bursts are fragranced paper warmer refills made of natural, Recyclable Paper infused with pure fragrance. They contain no wax, which means there isn’t any wax mess to clean up. With its patented delivery system, Scent Bursts fragrance fast, last long and deliver a higher quality fragrance with even character over time. Enjoy your favorite Better Homes and Gardens fragrance in a whole new way. Scent Bursts can be used with any electric wax melt warmer. They are safe, simple and convenient and they are the mess-free way to fragrance your home."<br />I saw even in the comments someone had mentioned contact with SAFE heat. So I would look more into this before using them in a tea light or use them in a electric if you are able to find room to hook one up as I know you say you use them mostly becuase of limited space for electric ones.

I'm melting through some of my dwindling Dessa's stash and Smoky Mountain Berries is wonderful, not a fan of her peppermint though. Woodland Christmas you say?

I hope they don't burst into flames in a tea light warmer dish! lol<br /><br />~DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658958620972494748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-15335449117557375202018-09-10T12:18:31.619-04:002018-09-10T12:18:31.619-04:00I am not a fan of pretzel in wax either.

But Harvest Cauldron Cider is the bee's knees. <br /><br />Those paper rolls look kinda fun. I need to give them a go. And Vanilla Embers... mmmmmm. Sounds similar to marshmallow fireside a little. I am all about that smoky woodsy vanilla.

Though the beautiful pictures of your hauls and descriptions always entice me for sure! Maybe 2019 will finally be my year! Harvest Cauldron Cider sounds so good! <br />Haunted Carnival would probably be a no go for me not only for the chocolate note you are picking up but also because of the pretzel, I'm not sure why but just am not a fan of it in wax. <br />When I was reading about Pumpkin Bonfire it made me think of a scent I ran across the other day at Walmart but I cannot lay my finger on the name of it for the life of me. Though I did pick up Vanilla Embers I believe the name was, I think you would enjoy that one. I got it in the fragrance paper rolls.

I see she has one now called Cranberry Sauce, but didn't know if that would be the same. Another one I didn't see was Cranberries & Cornbread. I did a search of 'cornbread' and nothing like it came up, which told me the name is probably not changed but instead it's probably just gone.<br /><br />Nah, I missed the opening and my list was so tiny anyway. I have enough peppermint and eggnog scents to get me through.<br /><br />~DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658958620972494748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-69521770042061649672018-09-09T10:35:37.500-04:002018-09-09T10:35:37.500-04:00Oh wow.... really?

I made a little list then went to her site and was sad to find quite a few are no longer there (or might be renamed). Since my list was small to begin with and then most weren't there, I didn't order. :(<br /><br />~DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658958620972494748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-74364651349875623532018-09-08T16:27:34.384-04:002018-09-08T16:27:34.384-04:00SHE DOES!!!

I haven't ordered from Dessa's for probably two or three years now. I don't remember what I've had or what I've liked, but I do think I'll pay her site a little visit today and maybe place a small order. Do you know/remember offhand if she's got a simple vanilla-peppermint?<br /><br />~DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658958620972494748noreply@blogger.com
