Does it make scents?

Hey There!

It's time to find out what my house smells like! Well, it's time to find out what it did smell like in the month of July. I didn't have too many new scents going on but they were great scents.

I have been loving my Bath & Body Works Wallflowers. I have purchased new wallflowers for new portions of the house (haul to come soon). I used three of them this month. I used a Watermelon Lemonade, Pineapple Mango and Coconut leaves. Watermelon Lemonade and Pineapple Mango are regulars for my house. I love those scents. Coconut leaves is new. I like it but I'll probably try some others next time.

I only burned one new candle and finished up an old candle. I tried out a Guava Colada mini candle in my bathroom. It was very nice. I loved the tropical smell and it made my tiny, little bathroom smell great but, it didn't really have great room throw. Maybe it was because it's a mini. But, for the room that I used it in, it was good. I'd purchase it again.

I finished a large Target candle - Sweet Spun Sugar. It is my favorite candle of life! I love this candle. I never get tired of this scent. It's like a burst of cotton candy. If you haven't sniffed this, you are making poor life decisions. Start making better one's today! Get to your local Target and pick up one of these.

I switched out a car scentportable this month. Remember that Watermelon Lemonade scent that I told you I liked? Well, that was what I was rocking in my car. And, yes -- my car smelled amazing -- For about 3 or so weeks. The website says it should last twice as long. Maybe you can get a 4th week out of it but I didn't get much more than that. I have several more so I'll test them for longevity too. No worries though. At $2.50 each (when you purchase 4 at a time), I'd still keep purchasing them.

Has your house smelled as good as my house this month? I know it sounds like a Bath and Body Works haul but have you tried any of these products? What do you think about them?

And, please excuse the photos I've been posting lately. I haven't found a good place to take pictures just yet. I'm still working on it. Bare with me please!

Hey There!

I almost added all of these smell goods in my empties post yesterday. But, I figured that post was already too full. Besides, if you only wanted to read about one or the other, you could choose instead of read about everything.

But most of you want to read about them both, huh?

I am finishing up my Glade Plug-in scents. I mentioned a while back that I switched over to the Bath & Body Works wall flowers because they seem to have a better room throw than the Glade Plug-ins. I did have some plug-ins left, so I wanted to use them up. These are the Something Sweet Cotton Candy scent double pack. I love cotton candy scent but you have to be right next to the plug-in to smell them. Too bad because if they had a better room throw my entire house would smell like cotton candy 24-7.

Mentioning B&BW wall flowers, I have 2 empty wall flowers. I finished a Pineapple Mango and a Sunset Beach. Both are fantastic scents. Sunset Beach was fruity and sweet. I was expecting it to be more of a outside, sunshine smell. Instead it reminded me of a tropical drink. I've repurchased and I'm using the new Pineapple Mango one already. I actually have purchased quite a few wall flower scents. Bath & Body Works kept having sale after sale on them so I stocked up. That mean you will continue to see them.

I also finished a Bath & Body Works mini candle in Honolulu Sun. It smelled very fresh and clean. It burned well and I enjoyed it. I'd actually purchase the full size of this. When the next super sale comes along, I'll think about it.

And I finished a Yankee Candle Home Classics Sunsweet Melon candle. I purchased this one to decorate my bathroom. It sat in my bathroom for about 2 years before I began to burn it. That's probably why this wasn't a super strong scent. It was a nice, subtle melon scent. The only problem that I had is the same problem that I always have with Yankee Candles. The room throw is nonexistent. You have to be right up on their candles in order to smell them. I don't buy them anymore.

And that's what my house has been smelling like. I mentioned last month that my allergies have started to subside so I have been pulling my candles and smell goods back out. Get ready for the summer scents!

What had your house been smelling like? 

Does it make scents - Plug Ins?

Hey There!

When you move into a new place you have that smell. You know -- that "new" smell. It smells like paint, cleaning supplies and just general unlived-ness. I like to come into my place and make it smell like a real home. So, I almost instantly, plug in some fragrance plugs.

The first fragrance plug in that I found were two of my Glade Something Sweet Plug-ins in the fragrance Cotton Candy. I plugged one of them in the dining room and another in the hallway. I left them for almost a full 24 hours and...

...it wasn't a strong throw. I loved the scent when I stood right next to the plug in but as I walked a few feet away, the scent began to dissipate. That is undesirable. It means that I need to plug up more of them to make my place smell good. And, it's not that big of a place! I life in a two bedroom apartment so you don't have that much space to throw your good smells to.

After a day of the Glade Plug-ins, I plugged in some Bath & Body Works Wallflower fragrance plugs. I used Pineapple Mango in the kitchen and Coconut Leaves in my bedroom. The kitchen fragrance plug in, is firmly tucked in the kitchen and the bedroom one is as you walk in the door.

My dining room and kitchen are connected and when you walk into the dining room, you smell the Pineapple Mango scent. It's not overpowering, it's just nice, sweet and pleasant. I smelled the light fragrance of Coconut Leaves when I woke up this morning. My bed is about 5 feet away from the fragrance plug in. It was such a nice smell to wake up to.

So, even though I really do love the cotton candy scent of the Glade Plug-ins, I prefer the throw of the Bath & Body Works Wallflower fragrance plugs. It does mean I'll spend a tiny but more but I think it will be worth it.
