Thoughts;

I happen to come across an opportunity to purchase a mystery box. I have had some chunks here and there but hadn't actually purchased one since 2014/2015. 

The price is decent for the amount of wax you get, but then again it's a mystery box so you may get scents that you don't like. In this box, I only got 1 that I will give away. The chunks are also a decent size.

This box had many similar scents, I wish there was a way for her to split it up a bit

I understand that this is the easiest way for her to sell her product, however I feel that she should/could have more availability. Obviously again, she does what works for her, but her lists are years long and although she does do the drawings on Sundays, you win a chance to purchase, not an actual win.

I don't think this wax is any different than another vendor, I think it's just so sought after because of her ordering system.

I don't like that this wax is softer, I don't remember that from years ago, I wish it was a little harder and not so soft, but it does smell good on cold, so we shall see.

Disclaimer/Discloser;
All wax I have purchased or it has been sent to me in swaps that I do. I try and remember and disclose that information. I am never sent anything for free from the vendors
These are my opinions and mine only. This is not meant to influence your purchase just to share with you my experiences with vendors
I will never, won't ever and have never bashed another vendor. Sharing my experiences both good and bad is not bashing.

I do not believe in Ass wax. If the wax is going to throw it's going to throw. No wax should need more than 2 weeks from pour date to fully cure.

Yes, I am a vendor. I have been purchasing wax and candles for as long as I can remember. I do love to share my experiences. I enjoy wax and candles and will continue to make my own and purchase but I will never review my own here

I have a tendency to yawn when I get talking. Not sure why I just do! I'm sorry in advance

Things that drive me crazy;
No vendor or scent name on labels. This is basically advertising and why wouldn't you do it? Plus if I get or send to someone else and they or me want more, how do they know who to buy it from?

All over prices. I have been noticing vendors lately have 2 ounces of one shape for a certain price, then the same ounces of a different shape for a different price. This is a huge turn off for me

Restocks that only have certain quantities and the sell out right away. I have no tolerance for that and just won't order


I use the following warmers;
20 watt glade warmer in my office
20 watt glade warmer in my family room
20 watt glade warmer in my kitchen
20 watt glade warmer in my son's room
20 watt Scentsy Stargazer warmer in my bedroom (Light Bulb)
25 watt Happy Wax warmer in my living room
15 watt scentsy warmer in the laundry room bathroom
15 watt scentsy warmer in the main bathroom

The opinions I put here are my opinions/experiences only. I fully urge each and everyone of you to form your own opinions/experiences on vendors for yourself by placing an order and getting a de-stash. Candles have many aspects to them and if I say I had a hard time burning one candle that doesn't mean the rest from the same vendor will be like that.
