    Thanks for getting your first impressions uploaded before your trip. I am very interested in Toasty & Warm. It seems like it might be a dupe of Maison Margiela's Fireplace perfume, which BBW duped with Bonfire Bash. I'm curious how Bourbon Apple & Oud compares to the Reserve Red Delicious. Looking forward to Salted Maple Pumpkin and Pumpkin Rum Toddy. 😉💜

    That Maple Woods label looks like my backyard here in Massachusetts in the fall. I have to smell Kittens & Cashmere. I love Sweater Weather and fall fresh scents. Melanie found the blueberry candle very blueberry forward so I may have to try the daylight to see what I get.

      Yes I just finished watching Melanie’s video & it’s interesting that we pick up on some different fragrances. I get more dried cranberry with some blue & blackberries in that scone candle, but it’s definitely not a summer sweet blueberry scent to my nose. She also picks up more citrus in that Pinecones & Pomander & all I can smell is the astringent pine first. How I wish I could see beautiful fall colors like ones on that Maple Woods! If you like Sweater Weather & scents in that family, I think you’ll like Kittens & Cashmere. 😊

    Hello Katie. Got some news about Firecracker Pop, it did get puny wicks however I poured some wax out and that seemed to help despite two wicks being lit. It's a nice berry fragrance, really sweet. Did you have a great 4th? I didn't do any fireworks, watched the neighbors do theirs while eating popcorn with the parents lol. Notes for Sand & Santal: Top: Aquatic, Citrus Mid: Neroli, Coconut Base: Lily, Musk. Yankee's Sun & Sand, Sand & Surf, American Home's Sunny Sands, and Elevation Sunlight Sands are all good, and smell like sand and sunscreen. Blood Orange and Banana Bread look like wonderful scents. I have Yankee's version and their generic Home Inspiration version called Banana Nut Bread., both smell good on cold. I'm burning Firecracker Pop with Yankee's Home Classics Island Getaway. High flame with the latter one. Happy burning. Fiji is amazing. I think you'll enjoy Woodwick's Fireside, Evening Bonfire, and Wood Smoke alongside with Nature's Wick Bonfire Log.

In those days GC’s customer service was BEYOND HORRIBLE and they treated me like I was crazy (tbh I thought I was - I had never reacted to any candle before). They made me pay for shipping back and only refunded me a percentage of what I bought. Needless to say, I’ve never bought them since. So strange! Like I said, I thought I was crazy, and how can I burn soooo many other candles and not have a problem? I’m super curious as to what we are reacting to. Mine was even more acute than yours.

    I’m glad you’re getting your money back. I totally get that certain candles can cause reactions, because it’s happened to me. When I talk about bad candle performance I almost never talk about my experiences with it because I figure people won’t get what I’m talking about if it never happened to them. It took a long time for me to realize it, but for a long time my eczema was flaring up especially around my eyes and when I stopped burning BBW candles it completely got better and went away and that’s when I made the correlation. After a half year I tried burning BBW again to see if the skin reactions would happen again and it did and they went away when I stopped. After almost two years of not burning any I tried melting a BBW candle in the candle crock and found thankfully melting the wax doesn’t cause reactions. I had mentioned before that last year I tried GC candles that they didn’t perform well and got sooty, but I didn’t mention they also made me cough while burning them too. I still will burn just a few candles in the fall and winter months, but anymore I rather keep good air quality in my home and not do things that can cause indoor air pollution. That’s why I primarily melt wax melts, use the candle crock, or chop up candles for melting rather than burning candles.

      It does make you feel a little crazy when you experience a bizarre reaction & nobody else does. However, we’re all different & it doesn’t surprise me.

      @@katiesjoyfullife Yes, it stinks. My dermatologist told me essential oils used in a diffuser which aerosolizes them can cause a similar reaction too. I wonder if the essential oils that they claim are in their candles or some other fragrance oils as they evaporate into the air from the candle burning were my culprit. I never had that skin reaction to any other brand though.

    *gasp* Goose Creek has been making Katie less joyful - it has to go! To be honest with you, for some reason this didn’t surprise me. I’ve been enjoying Goose Creek for the most part, but it is pretty obvious they are using a pretty low-quality wax formula. That’s just my theory. The benefit of this formula is obviously that they are some of the strongest candles around. A downfall of this is that they are more sooty, and more likely to bother people with sensitivities. The thing about candles is that there is always a trade-off. The good news is that you figured this out quickly - and GC was chill about your returns! Most of us have a candle brand that we just don’t buy/cover for one reason or another. What’s important is your health. I love your declutter video! I think it’s helpful to know how other candle lovers deal with this stuff. I don’t count candles, I limit myself by space. I have one closet, and one deep storage situation. There has to space in either of those places or I’m not allowed anymore lol. Quite frankly, I don’t ever want to count them 😂😂😂 🙈 🙈 🙈

    • @katiesjoyfullife
      @katiesjoyfullife 6 дней назад

      Haha! I had so many clutching their pearls in this one. I actually agree with your theory. I know a lot of people who are very sensitive to candles & they say that Homeworx & Kringle candles don’t bother them at all, but BBW ones do. That being said, I like the performance of the former, but if people are used to some of the BBW powerhouses, they’re disappointed that the H & K don’t smack them in the face with fragrance. I have pretty limited space in my house to store candles (most are in my 12 year old son’s closet 🤦🏼‍♀️😂) & by nature, I am a pretty organized person, so this series is a natural fit for me. I like that I now really know my collection & purchase candles that compliment existing ones.

    Hi Katie, love it how RUclips seems to randomly take my comments down or there's a glitch where my comments don't show up. I like Goose Creek, haven't done many but have enjoyed the few that I've burned. First Autumn Frost, Patchouli Leaves, Angel Food Cake for example in their retired large double wick apothecary jars were great.

    This was a pearl clutcher. I'm sorry about your Goose Creek reaction. I've been hit or miss with their candles and was looking forward to those reviews to see if it matched my experience or not. I'll check out your friend's channel. I don't have nearly as many candles as you, but I did finish 6, so I felt proud of myself taking the empty glass jars to the county glass recycling. I finished 2 kringle fruit candles, they were ok but not amazing.

    Only 92 candles in the beginning of June? Wow, I still have in the 200's somewhere, my decluttering method is burning two candles at once here in the bedroom. I'll be missing out on the new scents to me from BBW and other brands. I do give away to family at times some candles I don't need or have a backup. The last one I gave away was my backup of Yankee's Balsam Forest, which I highly recommend during Christmas. Congrats on accepting being a moderator on their Facebook page, sounds fun. I'm pairing Yankee's Beach Walk with Homeworx Basket Of Apples (solid 8, which drowns out the other fragrance). Purchased it at T.J. Maxx two weeks ago with Limoncello Cupcake. Have a happy 4th! I'll be lighting some fireworks this Thursday. BBW Firecracker Pop will be burned that day. Happy burning. Sorry to hear about your sinus pain. Hope you find another brand that suits you. I follow Fragrance Junkiee and enjoy her content. She gives straight forward cut to the chase candle reviews.

    Fab video Katie! I also loved Homeworx Valencia Orange. Vanilla Coconut Surf was definitely a winner! Unfortunately I don’t buy from Kringle for several reasons, the main one being their shipping charges to Canada are ridiculous (I’m talking $90 S&H charge for 2-3 candles). I’ve emailed them about this asking why but have never heard back. Last time I was in Palm Springs I placed an order and it didn’t show up in the two weeks I was there 😢 so I told a friend to keep them.

    • @katiesjoyfullife
      @katiesjoyfullife 6 дней назад

      Oh that’s a bummer about Kringle! I think it may be because UPS is the carrier in their area that has the most cost effective shipping. I’m not familiar with international shipping charges though. They are a smaller business than BBW or Homeworx, so I’m sure there’s a lot of things that affect that. Since I’m on the west coast, things take forever to get to me from Kringle & Homeworx because they’re in the northeast. Womp womp.

At BBW today, bought a backup of Autumn Woods, Pumpkin Apple, Cranberry & Gala Apple, Caramel Pumpkin Swirl, Marshmallow Fireside, and Pumpkin Pecan Waffles. Looks like Fall this year will be great with more scent varieties. Happy burning. I picked up Yankee's Colorful Curacao and St. Lucia Skies candles at Target, the last of the Carefree Caribbean Collection. So excited.
