Thoughts;
To be honest, the reason I haven't ordered sooner is due to the name. I think it's an odd name for a candle company. There isn't many people out there who truly don't like My Little Ponies and what they represent, and I'm totally cool with companies having a theme. I do with my own company, however this is a licensed product and a little childish. But that is just truly my opinion. The owner is a sweet heart and I will gladly use all this wax!


Everything was packed perfectly. The pony broke off the top of the candle, but that's totally minor. Turn around time was super quick for everything being made custom.

The Pink Sugar Lollipops candle has a bit of a chemical smell to it on cold, I don't judge wax on that, I judge it based on what it smells like and performs while melting/burning.
The lotion is amazing and I love it! It's the consistency that I truly love and will at least purchase that in the future.

I received extra love in this package and she even includes scent shots of your candle scents, which I don't smell that chemical smell in the pink sugar lollipop melt.

Product; Minamul Luxurious All Natural Dry Body Brushes

Product; Minamul Luxurious All Natural Dry Body Brushes

Ordered from; Amazon

You can order the brush here; https://www.amazon.com/Minamul Dry Brush


I was reached out to by the company asking if I would purchase their brushes and do a YouTube un-boxing. At first I didn't because I was under the impression these were make-up brushes and I don't really wear any makeup. I re-looked and decided I could give it a try.

The box arrived quickly as it was sent by amazon. The amazon packaging was much larger than it needed to be, which is how amazon packages items. Inside the way too large amazon box was a sleek black box that contained all the brushes.

Everything was nicely packaged and there was an instruction sheet. The brushes are nice and very sleek looking. My only concern is that the instruction sheet only tells you how to use the face brush and how to do a dry body brush. It doesn't explain which brushes are for which or how to put the back scrubber together.

Captain Jack's only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, a powerful artifact that bestows upon it's possessor total control over the sea.



Thoughts;
After the last one, I was reluctant to watch this one. I loved the first 2 movies, the 3rd one was ok but this one was just as good as the first two!



So many things happen in this movie, it's great. We meet the son of Will and Elizabeth who is the main character in this movie. We also meet “a witch” who is forever trying to get free and find the trident herself. She in turn has a book that was given to her when she was born by her father, whom she didn't know. She quickly learns how to use it when the blood moon comes.



With Carina and Jack at the hands of the executioner a rescue mission is done and they are both taken away. Jack, Carina, Henry and Captain Barbossa take to the sea in search of the trident. During the journey Captain Barbossa realizes that Carina is his daughter.



As with the other movies it was rather long, but it doesn't feel like it as your watching it.

Caution; Spoiler Alert




Synopsis;
The world's top bodyguard gets a new client, a hit man who must testify at the International Court of Justice. They must put their differences aside and work together to make it to the trial on time

Staring;
Elodie Yung as Amelia Roussel
Ryan Reynolds as Michael Bryce
Gary Oldman as Vladislav Dukhovich
Samuel L. Jackson as Darius Kincaid
Salma Hayek as Sonia Kincaid



Storyline;
With is reputation in tatters after a painfully unsuccessful delivery of a distinguished Japanese client, a former triple-A executive protection agent, Michael Bryce, two long years after the disgraceful incident, is now reduced to a mere second-class bodyguard for hire. Under those circumstances, Bryce would do anything to prove his worth once again, and as a result, it won't be long before he accepts an offer from Interpol to escort the renowned international assassin Darius Kincaid from Manchester to the Hague. The task seems simple. Bryce only needs to transport the contract killer from paint A to point B, nevertheless, Kincaid, as the only one with the guts enough hard evidence to testify against a tyrannical Belarusian dictator, is an obvious target, while the trip to the Netherlands is long and hazardous. Without a doubt, this is a race against the clock as the mismatched duo will have to put aside their grudges, in a non-stop concerto for bullets




Thoughts;
So, this movie seemed like it would be good. Samual L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds paired together. Turns out it was wasn't just good, it was awesome!
This movie had laughs and action throughout and of course the love story with the happy ending.



It wasn't a keep-you-guessing type of movie as it was rather obvious what was going to happen next, however it was funny!



The movie starts out with Michael Bryce getting his Japanese client to the airport, when his client is safely on the plane he feels like he can relax when all of a sudden there are screaming and you see the mans bloody head against the plane window. It then cuts to 2 years later and we now see Bryce in a crappy car and is now just a normal bodyguard.



From here we go into the story of the leader who is now on trial. We meet Darius Kincaid making a deal to get his wife out of prison if he testifies at the trial. He agrees after stating that his wife in innocent and shouldn't be locked up anyway but good luck getting him to the trial. The transport vehicles take off and all hell breaks loose. This is when the action truly starts and the fun begins.



There are lots of F-Bombs in this movie so if your offended by that, don't watch it. It does have Samuel L. Jackson afterall and should be expected.

This vendor has very interesting blends. She is generally very quick about getting orders out however sometimes thing happen in life to where we get behind, and in her case things were stolen from her and she had to start all over.

I love these scents and can't wait to get my winnings and my Alice tarts!

September (2017) Empties



I have started putting wax in all my warmers! I generally change out all the upstairs one every other day and the downstairs one daily. It’s still a little hard for me to keep track of what’s melting BUT this is a challenge for me so I’m all over it.

Here's what we've got!
A purple glade warmer in my son's room.
A green glade warmer in my kitchen.
A blue glade warmer in my office
A purple glade warmer in my family room
A Stardust Scentsy warmer in my bedroom.
A scentsy warmer in my living room
My daughters each have scentsy warmers


Candles;
I generally only burn candles in my living room and office, but I seem to go through them!


Living Room;

Vendor; Sweet Sensations Wax Melts & More

Scent; Vanilla Bean Noel. This candle burned too quickly but it smelled amazing. Each time I burn/melt VBN my 7 year old son asks “What's the good smell”

Scent; Cherry Berry Pushpops/VBN. This candle burned too quickly, as the last one did. This candle did however throw amazingly and smelled awesome!


Vendor; Quilted Chandler

Scent; Peanut Butter. This was a creamy peanut butter scent. Smelled very good. The candle tunneled quit a bit while burning

Vendor; Creative Enchantment

Scent; Berries & Cream. Yum Yum and more Yum. This scent was so good and creamy!


Office

Vendor; Wicky Wicky Wax

Scent; “Goody Two Shoes”. This is Vanilla. This is a creamy vanilla, not very strong but it generally isn't. The candle burned beautifully

Melting;


Vendor; Frankie's Scents

Scent; Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. This was one of the first scent I had from her and it is so very yummy.



Vendor; Fire it up Candles

Scent; Cactus Sear Salt. This is not a scent that I would have purchased however it was amazing. It smelled so good



Vendor; Chloe and Me

Scent; Candy Bag. I hoarded this as long as possible. This smelled amazing!

Scent; Blueberry Strawberry Fizzy Pop. My son stole this one and melted it in his room. The Blueberry was more dominant

Vendor; Omas House

Scent; Strawberry Lemon Pound Cake. This was sent to me in a friendly de-stash and it smelled great on cold, however I got zero throw from it.

Scent; Pineapple Coconut Birthday Cake. I could really smell the birthday cake and not the fruity. This one preformed very well

Vendor; MK's Scented Treats

Scent; Sprintime Tea. I generally am not a tea person, they are “ok” in my book. This scent made the living room smells so nice and sweet!

Scent; Dusky Love. Whatever this is, it was good.

Vendor; Vintage Chic Scents

Scent; We'll always have Paris. This was sent to me in a de-stash. This was the first time I've ever melted VCS. I have never ordered. The only reason how I knew it was VCS is due to the flower coin tart. Melting it was strong but I truly just smelled bubblegum. I checked the scent description on the web site and all is says is “Super Secret Blend-Fruity”

Scent; Imagene's Cafe. This was sent to me as a gift along with the above. I did not receive any throw from this one.

Scent; Lazy Days of summer. This one lasted really good for about an hour, then it fizzled out.

Scent; Rainbow. This was a loaf that I cut up, it took me forever to melt it and I was very sad when it was all gone

Scent; Pumpkin Crunch Cake. This was a clam shell I received in an order. My son stole it from me. It preformed very well and was super strong.

Vendor; The Glitterati Candle Company

Scent; Pink Sugar Pink Chiffon VBN. This was a large chunk that was sent to me by a friend. It preformed well in my kitchen which is a larger open area but not in smaller rooms.

Vendor; Kushner Kreations

Scent; Hippie Carnival. I love this creamy, great smelling carnival scent of this!

Scent; Vineyard. This scent is so yummy, I just love it!

Scent; Baby Grace. This was very light

Vendor; New Moon Candles

Scent; Pink Sands. I found this gem in a box! It was amazing

Scent; Spring Spell. Although this tart threw very well, it smelled like soap. Just plain soap

Vendor; Beutali

Scent; Sugar Rush. This was an amazingly good candy scent

Vendor; Sassy Girl Aroma

Scent; Sea Minerals. Unsure what this scent was supposed to smell like. It did preform well for about an hour, then the scent was gone

Vendor; Creative Enchantment

Scent; Lemon Lavender. My son melted this in his room as he loves lemon. This was super strong and was more a herbal lavender than a floral.

Vendor; Flaming Star Scents

Scent; Red Lipstick. This was a super cute dog that I cut up :(. It was hard to do, but he smelled really good
