Hey There!
Last month I talked to
you about the Krispy Kreme candles that I found at the Dollar Tree (link here).
I was super excited about them. Well, I've burned them all and there will NOT
be a wedding.
First things first,
they do burn 25 hours like they say they do. I burned one of them for 29 hours.
It burned like a champ for 22 or so hours and then it began to burn dirty. They
still burn well and they still smell ok but the original scent changes.
And the scents aren't
bad. They do smell sweet, almost like the donuts they mimic. The only problem
is that the room throw is very minimal. It only throws a few feet but it's a $1
candle. I'm perfectly okay with a $1 candle only throwing a few feet. What do
you expect?! I'm super happy that they threw any good distance. Would I
purchase them again? Probably not, but they were fun this time!
The next two candles
that you see are Target candles that I was trying to use up. I had to burn them
before I could pull out the fall candles. I burned a Marshmallow Pop and a
Lemon Meringue candle.
The Marshmallow Pop
was sweet and smelled so summery. The room throw was a bit off (I expect Target
candles to throw very well) but it still smelled good. I don't know if I would
purchase it again because there are so many other sweet, candy like scents that
I prefer.
Lemon Meringue was
weird. It smelled kinda sweet. There was no lemon scent. If I had to describe
it, it did smell like what sugared meringue smells like. It smells great in the
kitchen, not so great in a candle. The room throw wasn't good at all. Even
though this one is a Target candle, I purchased it from Home Goods. That
probably means it was discontinued from the Target line. Yeah, because this
would not make my purchasing cut.
I also finished 3 Bath
& Body works wall flowers. I know that one was Guava Colada and one was
Watermelon Lemonade. I don't remember what the other one was. All of them were
very nice and I enjoyed them. They are sweet and you know I like food scents. I
don't know if I'd repurchase the Guava Colada but I know that I have repurchase
the Watermelon Lemonade several times. The kiddo and I reach for them a lot.
Easy peasy, that's
what my home has smelled like in the month of September -- sweet and delicious.
What did you use this
month in the way of smell goods? Are you ready for the fall smell goods? Have
you picked yours out already?
