Some of my favorite things...

I know I posted this on Facebook but now that I'm able to access my blog I'm going to post it here, like I originally had wanted to. :) I love to share in my excitement about the things I'm crazy about so I'm here to let you in on a couple for my favs!

First of all I LOVE Bath and Body Works foaming hand soap! (Christmas is only around the corner... *wink wink*) I recently tried one that I would fight someone over. If someone has broke into my house and robbed me I would run to the bathroom first to make sure they didn't take my soap. haha No, not really, but honestly its pretty awesome! Its called Cinnamon Raisin Cookie and it smells sooooo good. This soap smells mouthwatering good, every time I use it I end up smelling my hands for a long while after. I don't even really like Oatmeal/Cinnamon raisin cookies but BOY do they smell amazing! I wish I could buy this for every one of my friends so they could fall in love with it too. The first time I used it I went running to find my husband and make him smell my hands. lol Also, foaming soaps last a very long time- this coming from an avid hand washer. Even when the bottle appears empty it keeps going and going. Oh, one down side, this is a seasonal product and will only last a couple of months before it gets phased out. They also have a lot of other great fall scents as well, which Im sure smell equally as delicious, i just haven't tried them yet. Here is a list of some others that are on my radar. ;)

Marshmallow
Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin
CranApple Crisp
Pumpkin Caramel Latte
Creamy Pumpkin
Orchard Leaves

Right now is the time to buy too, they have them on sale 5/$15 or 7/$20. That's around $3 (or less) each, the same price you would pay for something similar at Walmart ect. and its way better. :)

Oh also, before I end this I suggest ALWAYS going to www.retailmenot.com before you place any online order ANYWHERE. They almost always have free shipping coupons (Im a HUGE stickler for paying shipping, I absolutely HATE paying shipping. lol) as well as $10 off 30 or sometimes $40 for BBW regularly as well as some other great ones AND they also have TONS of other stores coupons listed. Seriously, check it out, it will save you money. 

Mini Candles As Tarts = <3


BBW sells Mini Candles as a preview to their new editions. They are a great way to find out how you like the scent before deciding to buy the 3-Wick 14 oz candles. (Around $20 each. Although sales are run that make them 2/$20) These mini candles are PRONOMINAL, I love them, I know you cant tell. ;) Anyway they are 3/$5 right now which seems really reasonable to me. They have many new Fall scents that are so great. I cant even pick a favorite to tell you about because I love them all. I will list them below and try to eplain a little more what they are, how I like them ect.

Slatkin candles are Super Duper nice but I find the minis don't have a very good throw since the pool is so small. I tried them in my living room, which has a very high ceiling and so its hard to really get a scent going in there, and it only smelled right by where the candle was burning... I ended up using it in my bedroom, it smelled great but I really want scent in my main living area! So here is what I did.....

This is the Apple Crumble mini candle as it comes, in a regular plastic container. (It smells fantastic by the way!) I took this and threw it in the freezer for at least 20 minutes, although I leave mine in for way longer since I usually forget about it. Once you take it out of the freezer it will (Usually) have split and you can squeeze it while turning it in your hands to help loosen it up. Sometimes you have to turn it upside down and bang on it a couple times but it will come out. YOU CANNOT BURN THIS ON YOUR WARMER WHILE IT IS INSIDE THE CONTAINER. Have to add this little disclaimer for people who are.... silly. :) Next take it to your warmer and use it just like a tart or oil. Mine just a regular tea light warmer which is nice because once the tea light is melted it goes out on its own and your house is usually all scented up by then! :)

This really works SUPER well, I think you will be impressed if you try this! When I burned this the first time it couldn't scent my living room, when I used the warmer is scented almost my whole house!!

I burned mine yesterday so it has already hardened back up again. Note that the wick really doesn't matter. You can take it out but I didn't for this one.  I got my warmer from Walmart for $3, the tea light for around $2 for a box of them and the Apple Crumble was $1.66. (With purchase of two others).

I  also purchased 3 oils from Walmart for my warmer as well in case I didn't feel like using one of my minis that day. They were $2 each. I love simple apple fragrances in my home so I use that one the most. The cookie one is really good too! Very yummy smelling. :) I haven't tried the cinnamon roll one yet or else I would comment on it.

Here are the scents I LIKE that they have in Mini Candles.
Frosted Cupcake
Salty Caramel
Apple Crumble (I already told you this one rocks. ;))
Caramel Apple (Love! <3)
Autumn
Mint Chocolate
Hot Chocolate
Cinnamon Sugar Donut (SO good!)
Pumpkin Caramel Latte
S'Mores
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie

There are A LOT more but I haven't tried them and I cant say I really wanted to, but if you are interested check out the website @ http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=11128744&cp=4090259.4090324.4090329.4432046&cm_sp=IM-_-Candles-_-1.6+oz+Candles
