I am glad you found a vendor you can rely on and I hope you get EVERYTHING on your wish list this next opening! I love that there are great vendors out there that fit each person and what they are looking for in wax. I feel the way you do about Lasting Scent Candles and The Bathing Garden. <3<br /><br />I love that you dreamed about being a crayon color namer!!! I often feel that way about scent describers or make up namers. I would love to have s job like that. If I could get paid to write descriptions for BBW or Yankee candles I would be in heaven. So the next closest thing is this blog. If you don't mind me asking, what vendors are you struggling with right now? <br /><br />Having friends group order or be on the look out for openings is definitely the way to go. My blog friends have helped me countless times to order in the past. The sad thing is most are leaving/have left wax so I only have a couple who are still into it with me.

I am still trying to pinpoint exactly what has caused it, but I think it's the complexity of the scent blends, the classy way her wax looks and how the scents somehow always match her scent descriptions. I have been very frustrated with a few of my other favorite vendors as of late because the wax has either come completely unlike the scent I was expecting from the scent description or its all come smelling barely distigusihable from each other because of the mild scent throw. Kirby's wax always gives me a great scent throw and smells exactly how I was expecting it to. I dreamt my entire childhood ( and still do at times) of being the resident color namer of all the new crayons and paint colors in the world! Kirby has a knack for coming up with these great themes and names for her scents that have me so intrigued right now. I printed out the scent list and just sit here and look through it amazed. I got trampled the first three times I tried to order anything. I was so upset. I finally made my first order a few weeks ago. The only wax I had before then was sent to me by my generous friends. So, my stash is small but I love all of it and I am ready to fight this restock! Ha ha! I have two of my friends who are on wax bans who will also be ordering from my wish list in case I happen to get myself trampled over again. Between the three of us I hope to come out with a more substantial addition to my small collection! I enjoyed your post and look forward to more!

So I am bleh and tired and taking off work. Might have to melt something perky in my bedroom. I am putting GG and Ice Palace Cookies in the box. I think you might like that one. Interested to hear what you pick up in it.

I melted one and gifted one to my sister. But there was one more watermelon and I will set that aside too! Watermelon really is hitting the spot for me right now too.

I just think I'm at the point where I'm going to stop ordering from her, though. By the time I was adding my items, they were gone out of my cart. Gone are the days where I'm interested in competing for tarts. Plus, $9 shipping is steep.Lolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04782777195648272520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-18959911656945116852016-04-04T10:32:29.189-04:002016-04-04T10:32:29.189-04:00I haven't had the chance to try anything from ...I haven't had the chance to try anything from this vendor yet.
