Not my best. I had to re-record this video and it was one thing after another. Wrong notes for Butter Pecan. It should be - candied pecan and maple. I also repeatedly say sugar plum pastry 😂 Not my day!

I relieved to hear someone else that doesn’t care for Sweet Plum Pastry. For me all I get is a heavy burnt odor with a weird fruit. I loved Butter Pecan but it has not been back for BBMB unfortunately maybe someday. 🤞Have a good day !

Aww thanks Travis. I enjoy making videos and I’m thankful I’ve only had to re record two videos this entire time. Even so we all have days where it’s one thing after another. It helps to appreciate the days where everything goes smooth.

Martha, I love this video! Thank you for sharing your empties! Have a great week.

Thank you so much Jeannie! I really appreciate it! Especially today, since I got not so nice feedback on an older video. I truly appreciate when someone values what I do ❤️

I’m the same with my brittles! I have lots of halves, too. Lol

They take so long for me to use up. It’s great. I hope Julie comes back with SGA stronger than ever. Her business burning to the ground was unbelievably sad.

Glad you enjoyed the sweet plum pastry and butter pecan combo!

Thank you for the recommendation otherwise it was going in the trash. 😂

I've been the same way about SGA brittles and other larger items...I melt them once then put them away, melt lots of other things, and then eventually get back to that scent. It's fine if you don't have a massive collection, but I've found over the years that I never get through my bigger items and they get very, very old lol. So I'm working on changing this habit. I still want to melt a good variety, but if I start something I don't want it disappearing back into my stash where I inevitably forget about it. This will also help me make more room for new wax, which is awesome because I hate no buys!

I hate no buys too! I have a small basket that partial clamshells and bags go into and I try to check it every once in a while and pull things from there to keep it from overflowing.

The simply diamond warmer is one of my favorites. I love Crème de Menthe. I did club it because I do think it’s unique in that it doesn’t give a chocolate note and is a nice medium. So many mints that are primarily mint are so strong. I loved that whole Madris Grad Collection. The three winners for me were Midnight masquerade(😂I know it’s a controversial one), King Cake and Crème De Menthe. I love Teddy Bees and based on KZread influencer reviews I am trying to cure some. But just for me I won’t cure and hold onto something and not melt it for a year. I’ve been slicing stuff in half and melting half. Wish a Witch Woods, Catacomb of the Witch, Meraxes, and Christmas is Coming are hard ones for me to not melt but I’m trying to wait until at least August. Waiting is hard. Brittles are my favorite with Sassy Girl Aroma. I have a different open and unopened storage. This is true for all my wax. And I make myself pull from the open bin first. I don’t stop myself from opening new wax when I want to unless that bin is full. So I’m not just melting one scent for a solid week. There is variety in the open bin. It keeps me moving through my wax. There are of course exceptions like Silence in the Library from SGA. It’s my favorite to melt in my writing space so it just lives there. Way to persist through that video. 🎉 I love chatty long videos. Have a great week.

Hi Stacy! I have so much wax that I put Teddy Bee’s away where I don’t see it as much as other vendors and it helps me forget I have them. Out of sight out of mind. This allows me to let them cure. At least that’s what I try to do. I have a bin I use as well for partials for most wax. I like to go through it once a month and see what I can use up. Thanks for watching! Have a great week

Lol this was fun!!! A for effort!

Woot woot for empties. Ugggg recording twice I feel for you. 😢 Glad to see your house smells like a Christmas tree in February as well 😂 Fall brunch sounds really nice, can’t wait for my first order to arrive. I used to use some and put it away and now I am in use it up mode so I am trying to finish things before moving on to the next thing. I want to get back to not having to finish things, but right now my collection is out of control. Oh nooooooo, I would have been losing my mind going thru all that technology nightmare, great job on the video and getting it up. 👏👏👏😂🤣😂laughing with you, not at you. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hey Martha! Great empties. I’m also sad to hear about L3 but I’m hopeful that she may be back in the future 😊 I never use a SGA brittle up at once. I normally get through about half and then put it away and pull it back out a few months later 😅

I try to finish a blend vs putting it away because I don't like having a little bit left. But the large quantities are hard like a loaf or a brittle. I hardly have any half used items but I do have some partially used brittles.

I've trying more and more to not club as much going forward. The first things I clubbed and absolutely love will be hard to take out because I've created scent memories with them but newer LTO's seem a bit easier to enjoy and move on

Yeah, I don't really mess with scent memories! (I mean, it would be sad to be missing them so I'd just go ahead and keep those in the club because it feels nice.)

Well I think my last comment on your video I was saying I wasn't buying from my top 2 vendors this year until I go through my stash (L3 and SGA) but now that L3 is closing... I may (I know I will) break that rule and stock up before Sept. I love their wax and man I'm so bummed. But health comes first.

@Martha_FragranceCorner

5 ай бұрын

I think breaking your rules in this case is a good call. I missed out on her first restock. I’m sure she will have more over the next few months but I’m bummed about L3 and of course SGA. It would be great to see Julie back up and running in a few months but I’m sure it will take a lot of time to deal with insurance and finding a new space.

That’s so strange with Valkyrie. I’ve had some 2022 going in my bedroom for two days, & it’s strong! I hope it’s just a curing issue & not a dud batch issue, cause I have some 2023 too.

@@Martha_FragranceCorner me too! After how well the 22 version performed, I bought a lot of the 23 version in destashes to stock up! Most of my TB’s don’t need a crazy long cure time, however the ones that do, really do! I melted weekend with papa and was so disappointed with the throw after a few months of receiving it. So I considered destashing my other tub. I didn’t and ended up trying it 4-5 months later & the performance was amazing! One of my favs now. Have a great Saturday 😊
