Thoughts;
Yes it took quite some time to get this, yes, other people got mad. Sometimes it pays to ask questions. It's different when a vendor just takes on more than they can handle and not close their store, Jessica had some extreme things happen in her personal life that hugely effected her personal life and her business. It's important to realize that vendors are people too. Yes, there are some out there that will take your money and run, which is why it's important to ask questions.

I was not disappointed, I knew I wouldn't be. Everything smells great. Her themes are always fun and a little different than

CBD Vendors; My Expierences

CBD has been all the rage. I actually heard about it by accident. Just looking through my facebook groups one day and happen to see a post regarding cosmic cleanse, took a change and ordered a mystery box. With so many vendors out there I want to give my thoughts and feelings and put it out there. It is important to know what you are buying when you get into this because price and quality matter. This isn't cheap and doesn't work for everyone. When looking into these, don't be afraid to ask for lab results, some even have license to make edibles!

I suffer from chronic pain and fibromylsaia and when I started getting wind of CBD oil and how it can help with inflammation, I was all over it. I generally don't fall for the “natural” type remedies, however the marijuana plant has amazing healing powers, so I thought I'd give it a try. I found that it does work better for my arthritis unless I soak in a tub with a bath bomb, then it works everywhere!

My first ever order was a mystery box from Cosmic Cleanse. Everything smelled amazing and I loved all the products I received. I then placed an order with her next pre-order and waited. When I received the order, I was happy with all the lotion I ordered but wasn't noticing a great deal of “help” with my pain.

While waiting the very long wait to get my cosmic cleanse in the mail, I placed an order with Viska Scents. While waiting for that order she had a sign up for a sub box. I did that also.

When I received my products I was in love with the texture of the lotions. The scent was amazing also. This lotion stays on all day but the CBD effects only seem to last a few hours. This is NOT the fault of the vendor.

During this time I had also purchased from Soothing Times Ahead. This order took forever to get to me. When I received it, and opened it, it was completely the wrong order. I then had to wait another long time to receive my correct order. I ordered lotion and soap. The soap did nothing for me, and the scent was a little odd. The lotion has a strange consistency and I personally dislike the actual scent of it. It's greasy but it totally works! After seeing a video in her facebook group where to me she was complaining about “her orders are her life” I didn't get a good vibe from it, I left the group. It seems that she is months behind on her orders. She did seem like a total sweetheart, however I can't continue to work with a vendor who blames their customers for being behind and for trying to guilt trip customers because they have no other life outside of their orders.

I found another company completely by accident when they were hosting games in a facebook group that I am in. A Whimsical Lather. I ordered two lotions and received them within two weeks. I love everything that I received. It smells amazing, the consistency of the lotion is awesome and not only does it smell great but it has a cooling effect to it.

A found another vendor through an add in a facebook group Southwest Hemp. I order tincture and it just taste awful. The turn around time was fine and I have zero issues with that, but I should have done my research on this company first. After purchasing tincture from a local store, the taste is bad, however what I received from SouthWest Hemp tasted like dirt and leaves!

I did make a purchase with Little Pony Wax Creations who offers CBD lotions and other items. I very much love that you can choose your scents for the lotions. Lot of these companies offer mint type scents but I don't like that at all, so I love when you can choose your own! I only tested the lotion a bit, I love the consistency of it, the scent is awesome (I picked Pink Sugar Lollipops). I ordered several wax items too, that were all made to order, the TAT is really quick!
I have now also placed several orders with Soak in the Sound. The owner is wonderful, she is very knowledgeable! She makes edibles like lollipops and gummy bears! She has CBD Vape oil as well. Her TAT is super quick and her products work amazing! The only thing I truly don't like is the shampoo and Conditioner, which really it's my hair that doesn't like it.

So to break it down;

Cosmic Cleanse
Love the consistency of the lotion and the scents. Very much dislike the pre-order as it take forever for you to get the product. The owner is a one women show and is also very busy. Her last pre-order she only stayed open for an hour! The CBD portion doesn't do very much for me, but her lotion keeps your skin nice all day long. I won't purchase from this company due to long TAT. This is just my personal preference.

To order;
You must watch her facebook group for updates; https://www.facebook.com/groups/1490023824348061/

Owner; Heidi Fizsimmons


Viska Scents
Love the consistency of the lotion. Scents are good. You can order through the owner or on her web site. She had some growing pains in the beginning but now seems to have everything figured out and is shipping quickly! If you order, you must get the face drink! It's amazing. The lotion lasts all day and is super creamy! The CBD portion doesn't seem to last long, but I feel that is pretty normal. I will continue to purchase from this company.

To Order;
Owner; Lindsay Marie


Soothing Times Ahead
I dislike the consistency of the lotion and the soap I ordered just had a funky smell to it. Her products do contain THC also, and I don't think she is following regulations when shipping as I don't think she can ship to non-legal states (like my own) but does anyway. This is something that you should watch if you are needing to take drug tests because it is not known if using these products will alter the results. She only offers certain scents and her TAT is crazy long. She may have gotten things under control now but I left her facebook group when she blamed her customers for being behind. Her group seems to have disappeared or is on secret. I will not purchase or recommend this company.

To Order

There are two web sites; One for customs and one for RTS products

Owner; Charlene Whyte

A Whimsical Lather
I love everything about this company! The lotion is amazing and has this cooling feature to it. She offers several different scents and ships very quickly. I've only tried lotion, but I love it and will continue to place orders with this company when I need to.

To Order;
Owner; Heather Gayle

SouthWest Hemp
I only purchased a tincture from this company. The TAT was quick, however it literally tasted like dirt and leaves. I couldn't use it. Tincture tastes bad to begin with but this was bad. I have not tried any of the lotions because she seems to use a lot of peppermint scents, which I don't like. Her facebook group has either disappeared or is on secret. I would not order from this company again.

To Order;
Owner; Casey Taylor

Little Pony Wax Creations
I ordered several items including CBD lotion from a friend's recommendation. I love that you can actually choose your scents and/or blends. The TAT is super quick and I very much like the consistency of the lotion. I would purchase from this company again


Owner; Desiree Slayden

Soak in the Sound
Edibles, Pills, Bath & Body, she has everything! The owner is super knowledgeable and shares it with the members of the group. Personally I didn't like the lotion, it works great, but the consistency isn't for me. I have shampoo and conditioner also but my hair just doesn't like it! I would recommend her for her edibles. I will continue to make purchases from this company!

To Order;
Owner; Tina Perry

Everything here are my own opinions. I do urge you to know what you are buying. CBD oil is pretty expensive so if the prices are “low” you may want to ask questions, also if the vendor is unwilling to answer your questions or gives generic answers, you may want to think about ordering before hand!

Love for all things Wax & More (FAT Wax); September Pre-Order

Vendor; Love for all things Wax & More (FAT Wax)
Order; September Pre-Order

Owner; Shell Zaiontz


YouTube Reveal;



What I ordered;
4 Tarts

What I received;
Purple Marbled Skeleton Melt in Lollipops & Pink Sugar
Yellow Marbled Skeleton melt in Pink Sugar, Lavender Birthday Cake
Blue Green & Black Skull in Blue Raspberry Cherry Bomb Fizzy Pop
Pink & Red Marbled frog in Pink Sugar Vanilla Bean Noel

Extra “Love” Received
Scent Shot and tart in Mixed Emotions
Brownie Tart in Kick Ass Blackberry


Thoughts;
These wax melts are always so nice looking! They look amazing with all the marbled colors. They smell great also!

I used to purchase supplies from her and she started focusing more on just wax, she does have pre-orders and then puts up mystery boxes when everything is out.

She admitted she ran further behind that she had hoped on this pre-order, which can happen when tons of orders come in but it's always worth it!

I love all these different tarts, she is very unique and although I don't find that her wax is super strong I find that it preforms great and lasts.

This was a pre-order and it came very quickly. I love it all!

Wax; October 2017 Empties

YouTube;


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; Kushner Kreations

Scent; Grape Bomb Pop. These burn so clean and smell amazingly! This wick even went wonky and yet the candle still burned clean and even!

Scent; Northern Lights. This candle was citrusy,I couldn't place the exact scent but it was nice! As usual this candle burned great and clean and threw very nicely

Scent; Spike's Tea Party. I am truly unsure as to what tea scents were all in this but it was so good and not too strong

Scent; Blueberry Crunch Cake. OMG Yum. This is the strongest blueberry scent that I've had. It was super good




Melting;


Vendor; Creative Enchantment

Scent; Sweet Vanilla Honey. This is one of my most favorite scents from her! I just can't get enough of it, I have a ton of it all stashed around so I won't run out anytime soon!

Scent; Blueberry Basil. My son melted this in his room since he is obsessed with blueberry scents! It wasn't as strong as I expected it to be, it was a rather light blueberry, however it was still a very nice scent

Scent; Mulberry Woods. I honestly love this scent. This is my 2nd favorite to sweet vanilla honey

Scent; Lavender Sage. This is a very good scent. It's an herbal lavender and the sage is dominant but mixes very well together


Vendor; Pixie & Toad Wax Works

Scent; Unicorn Dreams Wax Loaf;Berries, Candies and Cakes oh My (and some Fizzy too)!
Dreamy Clouds of Sweet Treats and Goodies Galore!

This loaf threw extrememly well in all warmers that I used, however with this company being 2 months behind on orders I would NOT suggest ordering

Vendor; Wax House Melts

Scent; Blue Raspberry Slushie Fizzy Orange Pop Cream. Very interesting blend, I would have liked for the orange to not have been so dominant but it preformed very well

Scent; “Screwdriver”. This was the jewelry tart from the Orange is the New Black sample that she did. It was a great smelling tart, however the scent just didn't last very long

Scent; Pennywise's Red Velvet Tears. OMG This was amazingly good. It was a huge cupcake so I was able to cut it into several different pieces. It was such a creamy good scent!

Vendor; Beutalli

Scent; Vermont Honey Apple. I'm not much of an apple scent lover, however this one was pretty good. It was creamy and light on the apple.

Scent; Blue Jolly Rancher. This was such a great candy blueberry type scent, it was so strong and nice!

Vendor; Chloe and Me

Scent; Blue Blackberry Sage. This one smelled so amazing on cold. Since it was blue sugar and blackberry sage I expected it to be stronger, but it was a rather light scent while melting.

Scent; Jolly Rancher Fizz. This one was yummy. It was more fizzy than candy, but that was totally fine with me!

Scent; Apple Banana Cookie Dough. This wasn't very strong, and the banana seemed to be a bit dominant.

Scent; Gummy Bears. Now this one is one I could melt everywhere! I love her Gummy Bears and her Lollipops (and together they are amazing)

Scent; Volcano Fizz. This was so good and fizzy, I loved it!

Vendor; Frankie's Scents

Scent; Sour Patch Kids. This wasn't a strong one for me, I could smell the sour for sure, but it just wasn't really strong

Scent; Hawaiian Butter. Whatever this scent is, smelled so creamy and good

Scent; Coffee and Vanilla Bean Noel. Yes Please, this was a sample chunk that she sent with my order and it was so good and yummy. I loved it

Scent; Cranberry Marmalade. This wasn't my type of scent, however it preformed extremely well

Vendor; Blended With Love

Scent; Orange Almond Cookie. This scent I disliked on cold, however I know my husband likes these types of scents so I put it in his bathroom, boy was I surprised by how much I liked this scent while melting!

Scent; Blueberry Muffin. These were samples and there were two super cute little cupcakes. I find that this scent is usually stronger and creamy but this was lighter

Vendor; Wicked Wax of the East

Scent; Blueberry. My son's favorite scent is blueberry so we melted these in his room. They were strong and melted wonderfully!

Scent; Lemon, Blueberry & Cherry. This was a loaf that was from July. My son loves cutting up the loaves, so he cut it up and melted it. The Lemon was more dominant that the other scents, but it threw like a dream!

Vendor; Kushner Kreations

Scent; Kody's Winter Relief. We melted this in my son's room. It had two cubes left as we only use this when someone has a cold. It seems to clear the nose right up!

Vendor; Thainna's Gift Shop

Scent; Coconut Lime Brittle. This had not much on warm scent and it had very little while melting.

Vendor; Mimi's Tarts

Scent; Fruit Loops. This was a great scent and was nice and strong!

Scent; Cotton Candy Frosting. This was much stronger than I expected and it was a great cotton candy scent

Scent; Grape Soda. This was really good. It wasn't the fizzy kind of grape soda which was what I was looking for

Vendor; RoseGirls

Scent; Save the Drama for your Mama (Pink Sugar & Monster Cookie). This was a bag of chunks that took me quite some time to get through. It was so yummy!

Scent; Streuselkuchen. I truly don't know what this scent is all about, however I received some in one of my boxes, this one I gave to my son and we cut it in pieces, it is amazing whatever it is!

Scent; Birdo's Magical Cupcake Land. This is a blend of Raspberry Sauce, Strawberry Jam and Birthday Cake. This blended so nicely together, it was like a fruity birthday cake and so good. It's an older one but it threw amazingly!

Scent; Innocence. This is a blend of Raspberry Cupcake, Cotton Candy Frosting and Vanilla Lace. This was amazing! I loved it. All these scents blended together perfectly!

Vendor; Fire It Up

Scent; Lemon Squares. This preformed very well and smelled just as it should!
