Wonderberry Wax Co Haul

Hello beauties!

Today I'm here to share with you all my haul from Wonderberry Wax Co. I got this stuff back in February or March ... this was such a while ago. This is my first purchase ever from Wonderberry so I went and made a small order of 6 six packs which retailed for $4.50 USD each and they weigh about 4oz.
I was going to make a smaller order, but I just couldn't resist how cute these beauties sounded after reading the scent descriptions. I was shocked with how beautiful these were when they arrived. It did take about 6 weeks to arrive, but it was totally worth the wait!


Here's everything I got with scent descriptions:


FREEBIES
Blossom & Breeze - could not find scent description. It's a floral, clean scent.
Beautiful Day - BBW type. Sun-kissed apples. daisies, and pink peonies

Wilma's Handmade Haul #1

Hello loves!

I'm way behind on sharing my wax hauls with you all, so I'm here to get back to it. Today I'm sharing my first order from Wilma's Handmade that I placed back in March. I absolutely enjoy this vendor so much! It's owned by Wendy and she has such a fabulous selection of RTS (ready-to-ship) and made to order items ranging from wax melts to body care and hair care.
For my first order, I placed a small one with her for some RTS mini melt cups which are only $0.99 which is freaking amazing. It's comes in a .8oz cup and it's good for one melt (or two if you plan to cut it to blend). I also got a 100 count of 3x4 polypropylene bags.


Here are the scents and scent descriptions of everything I got:

May 2016 Wax Empties

Hey everyone!

May is over and it's now time for me to share with you all my wax empties. I am very proud of how much wax I go through every month because I'm getting use out of my purchases and making room for new ones.


I enjoyed all but one scent for the month of May and that was Butter Cookie from Goose Creek. I couldn't stand the buttery note in it. It was just too dominate for me. Can't wait to see how June looks.

Happy Melting!
