Storyline;

A Manhattan artist relocates her young family to a historic hamlet in the Hudson Valley. As she settles into a new life, she begins to suspect that her marriage has a sinister darkness, one that rivals her new home's history


Thoughts;

I wanted to watch this based on a post I saw where people were on the fence about it. All in all it wasn't too bad. It was a little boring at first but when the pieces started coming together it all went quick. I was a little mad that movie ended the way it did, you don't get to find out what happens, I was a little shocked really.



Plot Summary; CAUTION; Major Spoiler Alert

With the promise of turning the page, George Claire, a handsome, self-centred academic, talks his wife, Catherine, an experienced art restorer, into putting her successful career on hold so that he can teach art history at Saginaw College. However, after moving from 1980s Manhattan to the verdant town of Chosen, New York, a shaky fresh start awaits Catherine and their five-year-old daughter, Franny, as the already challenging task of restoring their gloomy 18th-century new home is paired with the discovery of foreboding remnants left behind by the previous owners. Now, little by little, a corrosive undercurrent of malaise gets in the way of happiness, and Catherine finds herself trapped in her own home. But, she knows that, sometimes, her mind can play cruel tricks on her. Is death only the beginning?

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


Vendors who take a single scent and make it sound like a blend. I feel like this is duping your customers and shouldn't be done. People who do empty videos, who are also vendors, that review their own product.


Vendors who get involved in other people's drama.


I use the following warmers;

20 watt Happy Wax warmer in my office

20 watt glade warmer in my family room; Currently no warmer here

20 watt Happy Wax 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.
