Great video Linda! I find the feed back from your group so interesting. You bring up a good point that newer homes tend to be more open concept and so people perhaps favour scents that are more ‘multi talented’ and will work well in their combo living spaces. It may help explain why Scentsy seems to be moving away from distinctive scents like bakery. As for BBMB, this time I will stock up as I need to close a party but I really like your idea of using a monthly club and eventually rolling that into the quarterly club for only those that make the cut. I think it’ll be a good way to control ‘the stash’ lol!
Thank you 🤗💛 Yes I must admit I was surprised at the reaction to the bakery scents at my BBMB sniff. Churro Churro was better received - I think because it was subtle but still not many ordered it. Mind you my girl gang do order a few bakery scents in the fall-winter but just a few. This temporary monthly is an experiment.🤞🏻Fingers crossed!
BBMB timeframe is hard because I personally don’t like to warm or make decisions until a bar has cured for 3 months. For me, the scent/throw of a 1 month pour is night & day to a three month cure. In general, my method is to place an order on the 1st for bars I may like. Then I wait till the very last week so they can cure as long as possible. I warm 2 cubes in a test area, & order 2-3 bars of each one I like, plus any new additions from watching reviews. I always club 3 of everything to start, then change it as needed before my quarterly ships. I like having 3-4 bars on hand at all times because then I always have cured bars ready to warm. I’ve also learned there’s no point in overstocking or hoarding my collection. When a bar starts to turn, it doesn’t smell like what I loved, & then it’s a huge bummer. My Wish taught me that, & watching Robyn’s practicality has been super helpful too. Last fall I came up with a personal warming timeframe for each scent category which helps me gauge my quantities & keeps my buying in check. Bakery/spice/woods/vanilla/ starts to decline after 2.5 -3 years, floral 2 years, & both fruit and citrus 1 year. I just make sure I can warm what I have & what I want within those timeframes, & it’s been a game changer! I really enjoyed watching this video & hearing about your friends opinions!! The first time I smelled Happy Birthday was several years ago, but it was old & super wet/gloppy. I hated it so much I didn’t even warm it, & I actually threw it away! The only reason I gave it a second chance this time was because of the positive reviews. I’m so happy I tried it again because I freaking love it! Just goes to show what an old bar and a good review can do! Lol
Wow Kara! You have a great system in place. So well thought out. I agree - bars that have been in my stash a few months almost always seem to do better. If I can get my stock down to just favourites I could do something similar. You are right about bars turning. I stocked up on Blond Wood & Moonflower when it was a BBMB. I just warmed my last two bars. The last 3 or 4 were definitely “off” - not horrible but just not as lovely. I tend to stock up (& hoard 🤣) on bakery/vanilla & again you’re right they do have a better shelf life. Thanks so much for the outline it will be helpful to others reading comments❣️
@@lindah_home_and_scents I realized after posting that I totally went overboard on my answer! 🥸 I’m so sorry it was so long! Lol. I really need to find some local friends to chat with because this is what happens when I can’t talk openly about fun stuff. I came up with that system after realizing how much I was buying on impulse and excitement during flash sales. I have so many bars and regrets sitting in the basement lolol Thank you for being so kind in your reply and for reading the novel I wrote 🥰😆🫣
@@kara5219-Krose_8 Please don’t apologize! I love reading all the interesting details my wax friends share! And I honestly believe people especially those new to Scentsy are interested in hearing that sort of information. 🤗💛
Love that you did a sip and sniff. That sounds like it was a lot of fun! I’ve set some limits to how much wax I want on hand and my clubs. The number of bars are based on where I warm. I need more bars for my open and less if it’s a smaller area.
Thanks Angie - it was a fun! Watching your channel I always admire how balanced & honest you are with yourself when it comes to how scents perform for you. I aim to get there. I’m still lured by something pretty or creamy yummy that smells great but is too light for my kitchen/living room. I end up with too many small room only bars. I’m trying to turn that around!
My favourite was definitely vanilla suede, and it immediately went into my quarterly club. I also clubbed cashmere pear, churro churro, white sands, painted leaves, happy birthday and my wish. My club ships October 6, so I will know by that time what fall and winter bars will be returning and hopefully I’ll be able to remove all the ones I’ve been holding in there to help offset the addition of these BBMb’s. Like you, I try to keep my club at a certain amount but right now, with all those added in, I’m over budget, lol. The struggle is real. Thanks for a great video.
Thanks Lynn! 🤗 Great list! I almost always club a list of BBMBs & then end up removing them as I get to warming them. My husband’s club ships October too so I have time to decide what to keep long term. The temporary monthly will give me a chance to test drive the scents. You are spot on “the struggle is real” 🤣
We’re the smaller percentage who get attached to the scent itself. Clubs are our thing. Scentsy discontinuing bars certainly doesn’t help our behavior. Almost all of my family & quite a few friends have multiple warmers and like to melt but would rather buy 3-6 bars of a scent they like instead of setting up a club. And they keep their wax in usually 4-7 days. I’m not sure what will stay in my club from this bbmb. Happy Birthday is the only one I’ve previously kept in for a long stretch. I’m surprised, but I am actually going to club lemon drizzle cake before it leaves. It does much better for me than lemon coconut chiffon and I like it just as well. You’re thought process makes perfect sense. This summer is a good time to tackle your bins. Fall will be here before we know it.
Your family & friends sounds like my girl gang❣️A smaller inventory of favourites, no club & longer warming periods. I think you’re right - us RUclips wax fans are the minority. I also prefer Lemon Drizzle Cake to Lemon Coconut Chiffon!! In fact I think LDC performs better. Given that Scentsy is skimpy on the spring-summer bakery I might club it too when it discontinues. I would probably warm it well into the fall.
Great video, Linda! The Sip & Sniff sounds like it was a great time! I club and haul bars. I usually only haul bars at the end of the season and I get 2 or 3 bars of some scents that I like but aren’t club worthy but want to have on hand for next year.
Thank you Anna❣️ That’s my goal…to use up all of my one-offs-not-favourites & then haul a few of the ones I really enjoy at the end of the season to have on hand. I want to club just my absolute gems.
Hi Linda! I really like hearing about what your Girl Gang is interested in! I think it helps ground us Wax Addict's...lol! Love the insight! I do both...I haul and club! I haul in case there is ever a glitch in Scentsy's System and everything crashes and my bars are gone...ya never know. Also I like to have a stash in my possession...in case I may have to give a few the boot. I really like having stash to cure as well! I club to continually receive bars that are discontinued. Plus I club bars from one catalog season to the next to protect my love's! Great video...TFS! Have a blessed weekend!
lol Valerie yes it does ground us wax addicts. It actually helps me a lot to hear their point of view. I like to have a stash on hand too my problem is I end up with wax I don’t really like too. I’m trying to fine tune that. You sound like you have a good system in place! Thanks my friend happy weekend to you too❣️
I need to warm Vanilla Suede as Rustic Lodge I thought I would adore based upon the scent profile and I was so disappointed! It’s way to light for my open concept. I mixed with Hemingway in alternating warmers and that was pleasant but still Hemingway shined more than RL. Oh well saves me money or allows me to up the quantity on my beloved Beach! 💕
I am a little worried about Rustic Lodge too Dionne. I warmed it in my family room & it was just the right hue but that room is easy to scent. I’m wondering how it will do on my main floor. That’s why I’m experimenting with this temporary monthly club. I love Vanilla Suede & it does fine in my living room but some are saying it’s light for them. Beach was a boomer for me - I can understand why it’s a fan favourite!
Great video Linda! I generally haul 3 bars of a scent I really enjoy and if I love it then I’ll haul 6 bars and potentially put it in my club. I also have a limit to the number of bars I can put in my club otherwise it gets crazy so I really have to adore a scent to put it in my club.
Thanks Melanie❣️I’m still debating whether I should do 6 pack bundles & just leave my absolute favourites in my temporary monthly club to stock up extras. I like your thought process.
The BBMBs that I liked I did an order and ordered 3 of each bar. Then I added the ones that I LOVE to my bi monthly club (2-3 bars each until I have a stock pile and then I’ll bring it down to 1) and ones I like to my quarterly club (1 bar each) the ones in my quarterly probably won’t stay the whole time or even the next shipment but I didn’t want BBMB to go away and then I regretted it. So to answer your question I always order 3 bars of what I like and I usually club what I love
I might copy that method Jessica. I’ve already warmed some of the bars I hauled in this video & now have to wait until July to get more in that temporary monthly club. Also, I might just go in & order 2-3 bars of the ones I seem to be reaching for. I should bump up the number in the club since we can’t increase after June 30th..I can always take it down afterwards. 🤗 This is why I love my viewers comments- they’re so helpful❣️
@@lindah_home_and_scents I always add more of a quantity of new bars to my club because I have realized when I find a new bar that I like warming I reach for it more often to start and then I slowly stop reaching for it as much and that’s when I bring the quantity down
enjoyed your video, I have not yet warmed pacific mist yet I'm still working my way through the BBMB's. My favorite bars from R3 top 12 BBMB this round is Honey pear cider & Summer Holiday. I have a Scentsy club Heartbreak, I was 4 days late reading my emails to update bank details so my club didn't not process this month and found out last night I have lost 3 bars that were very much loved and felt i would never get rid of they were Cider Mill, Apple Smores and Saddle up. I so wanted to cry, my son came over and gave me a big hug to make me feel better so when i see these 3 bars and Homestead Holiday in future BBMB voting I will be voting like crazy. So I have order a Scentsy whiff box last night since My club did not process this month.
Awww that’s too bad Angela. How lovely of your son to try to comfort you. I’m patiently waiting for Apple S’mores to come back. I lost that one when I lost my club a few years ago. R1 was offered a Cowboy Hat warmer bundle this past week that included Saddle Up so I stuck that in my temporary monthly club so I can try it. The bundle sold out but I could still add the bar. Lucky you though you get Summer Holiday! I thought for sure it would come back to the S/S catalogue & it didn’t. Of course I didn’t club it 🤦🏼♀️ and now I only have one bar that I’m hoarding. It’s one of my favourites for summer. I would vote like crazy for Homestead Holiday too 🙌
Hi Linda! The Sip & Sniff feedback/orders was really interesting! It kind of makes you feel like we're in our own little universe here in Scentsy land on RUclips doesn't it? To see bars like Happy Birthday get passed over is really eye opening! I guess we wax addicts are made just a wee bit different than your average folks 😉 As for your question at the end, I do both. Stock up and add to club. I usually keep at least 3 on hand of club bars and if it's one I really love and tend to go through a lot I'll grab a 6 pack in that scent plus add to club but that's a rare occurrence. I usually stick with 3 + club. Now there are some exceptions to this rule. Let's say Central Park Pralines makes it back, now that is a super love, top 10 Scenty scent of all time. For that one i would buy two 6 packs minimum plus add to club. Going crazy like that is reserved for those rare unicorn bars that I adore 🥰
Yes my friend…I was a bit surprised at the indifference to yummy bakery bars. There were actual “yucks” shared 😳 over Happy Birthday! I do sometimes think we RUclips Scentsy fans are in our own little universe. I am so tempted to go in and haul a couple of 6 packs too but I’m trying to get my inventory down to a sane level. I’ll probably crack though & order more before June 30th. So far it doesn’t look like they’re going to extend BBMBs.
Thanks Linda for another great video. you’re the first I’ve seen talking about haul /club. I’m new to clubbing so still all over the place on deciding how to do things. I too want to have a limit. It can be overwhelming. 😃
Thank you Deb❣️Yes figuring out what to club how often to get it etc can be overwhelming. It can get away from you too if you’re not careful. At least that is my experience. I try (and usually succeed 🙄) to stay within my bar limit/budget by only clubbing absolute favourites. Hauling wax via bundles through a party link is still my preferred way to shop.
Thank you for a great discussion, it was so interesting to hear what people actually liked from the BBMB. HAPPY BIRTHDAY is great but how many bakery scents can we already get from vendor wax?
Thanks Kim! It sounds like there are so many amazing bakery scents offered through vendor wax. I stick to Scentsy, except for a few thrift store finds of retail wax. I stick with Scentsy for a couple of reasons. One - I’m scared to ‘go there’ 😳 I already have so much wax & I don’t want to be tempted by all the delicious vendor offerings. Also I’ve heard from other Canada RUclipsrs that shipping costs from U.S. vendors is very expensive. There are some but not many Canadian vendors but I have yet to try anything.
Just cancelled both my monthly and quarterly clubs…I was spending WAY too much money on scents…I will continue to haul intermittently…great video as always, Linda 😊
Thanks Susan! You know I’ve thought about doing that too. I started with one quarterly, then added a second quarterly & now I have the temporary monthly. Yikes. Once fall-winter is announced I hope to get my husband’s quarterly down to 10 bars. I do tend to warm through my club bars it’s always the extras that bog me down. Good for you!
Nice hauls Linda! I did something similar with my boyfriends club, started a bi-monthly hack club. Will skip July shipment which will give me time to warm those more fall themed BBMBs + make room in his Quarterly when new Fall catalog is announced. I'm trying 'mini stock ups' if I am in doubt on LTOs. Will put in club & order 2-3 bars separately. If I warm 1 before club processes, I can choose to keep it in or let it go. It's a somewhat happy medium of keeping FOMO at bay but not being overwhelmed with bars sitting around. So far, so good!
Great minds think alike! 🙌 My husband’s club doesn’t ship until October too. I want to get my bar count down to under 15 before that 🤞🏻FOMO is alive & kicking for me too. I love your mini stock up idea.
I loved hearing about your sip and sniffs. I have had a few and it is fun when the guys get into it too. It’s always surprising how different our preferences are compared to every one else. Thanks for sharing
I’m getting tired of all the games that scentsy plays with all of these scents. (Especially the bakery) I’m thinking about canceling my two clubs and just purchasing vendor wax. But that’s just my opinion. They should allow at least two skips. I love watching all your videos!
Thank you! I’m so happy you watch❣️I agree - I think they should give us a little more leeway with the clubs. Someone said they do that so they can plan ahead for pouring the non-catalogue scents but I’m not sure why they can’t give us a bit more flexibility. The bakery I do not understand …especially with their competitors (vendors) doing such a brisk business because of their great bakery scents. Scentsy will lose business - maybe yours - because of that. I wish they watched RUclips & read comments.
I think that if we had more flexibility, we would have a lot less of the new and exciting. While I am a creature of habit, I do look forward to all the new collections, scents of the month, and LTOs.
@@frag_g I often just skip on a collection even though I have a Scentsy RUclips channel & I should be reviewing them. It can get to be too much. I didn’t try any of the Rainbow offerings or that glamour girl bundle - I don’t remember what it was called last spring-summer. I wish I’d passed on the Spring Bricks this year.
Great video, Linda! It is such a decision about putting things into a club vs doing a party order! I tend to do party orders, but I totally understand your logic for this monthly club, I hadn’t thought of it like that before. I tend to stock pile BBMB when they come out and I’ve taken several out of my club because I still have a stockpile and too many new things come out so I don’t get around to warming them
Thanks Michelle❣️I prefer shopping towards a party - plus the bundle & save is the best value. If I know I love & will use the bars that is my go-to. In the past I’ve stockpiled BBMBs & the same thing - I don’t get around to using them. I’m hoping this method allows me to really determine which of the scents I’ll love long term before I haul too many.
I normally only order bars through my club (to save on shipping), plus it gives me more time to watch reviews and decide what I want to try. I did make a special order since there were a lot of bars I wanted to try from BBMB and I’m not getting a club until October. But I don’t feel rushed to get through them - I have added them to my club and will eliminate the ones I don’t want more of as I warm through. In an ideal world, I wouldn’t have a huge stash to manage at home and I hope to get there someday, but with vendor wax and such, it is a lot!
I do both! I do hauls, and I also add to my club. I find that I never haul enough, and always run out! I didn’t have club for awhile. I deleted it a few years ago. I went without one for a few years, but found that I like having so many different choices (as only BBMB or LTO’s go in my club). I LOVE bakery, so my club is also used for my beloved bakery scents (as Scentsy keeps taking more and more away from us).
I’m the same way Rene! I started my husband’s club to save Almond Croissant, Apple Butter Frosting & Butter Pecan. I’m clubbing Happy Birthday & Churro Churro as well. Scentsy has been stingy with the bakery lately. I would love to see them offer more in that category. Also although I love my clubs it’s frustrating having favourites you can only get every 3 months. I use them up as fast as they get here. 🤷♀️
My mom also will keep her wax in for a week and will melt like one cube at a time…. She laughs at me for how often I change mine and how much I use lol
lol I would not smell anything if I did that. That’s hilarious. My girl gang are week long melters but I think they load up their warmers. My mom is pretty stingy too but she’s almost 90 & grew up during the depression. I’m probably the same age as your mom.
Loved seeing the breakdown of the BBMB orders - so interesting! That’s how I like to do sip n sniff parties with my family - read the description and pass around the bar. It is so fun to hear everyone’s thoughts on a scent. I am planning on stocking up on a few bars and trying not to add much to my club. Great video, Linda 💜
Your sip and sniffs always sound fun but this one sounds like it was really fun!! My hubby really gets into smelling my Scentsy which I love getting his feedback we have introduced his best friend to it as well which is funny because he's definitely not the type you would like would get into it. My home is small and the living room and kitchen are connected so I warm the same thing in both rooms or do a alternating mix and it's almost always bakery or spice. I love your idea with club for the bbmbs. I only wanted to try 7 bars and only 2 of my customers wanted to try 1 Bar each both of which I was getting so I threw them into my club and it'll be here Monday I also always add the sotm to my monthly club because I haven't been too thrilled with them this year. I club always over stocking up
I love that! Your husband & friend getting into it. The men in my life tease me about Scentsy but they like having everything smell nice. I could probably get away with doing the same scent throughout my living room kitchen too it’s pretty open actually. I’m with you on the SOTMs - I can’t imagine what I would do with 8 bars from the consultants kit. Even making testers for customers would leave me with too many leftover.
My club is getting way too big…. If it doesn’t wow me on first warm it doesn’t go in…. I know I may be missing out on some scents but I just can’t keep adding bars in now 100% sure of right away
LOL I was NOT impressed either with W Patch!! I thought it was sort of yuck too. SO MANY I loved this time around. I do both haul & club. I didn't get the consultant early access. I hauled 2 each what I thought or knew I'd love first order. I will haul 2 more of each I really liked. Seasonal bars go into quarterly club 2 ea. Year rounds went into bi-month, 2 of each. It just gets too expensive to do more than that. I have a 20 bar limit too.
Me too Mary - I have a lot I love in this BBMB round! 🍉not so much 🤣 Ideally I’d like to bring my husbands club down to 15 & keep mine at 20. They are both quarterly & ship on alternate months which is good for the budget. That with a skip is doable. My ultimate goal is to only have stellar performers that I love in those clubs. I keep getting lured by FOMO though. I’d love to do 2 bars each but I have to get mote strict in order to do that. 🤷♀️ …your system sounds great.
I have a club and sometimes buy bars in between. I don’t have a huge stash and would rather try new scents than always get the same ones. I do the monthly warming challenge with Patricia Gaetz and I use up 9-10 cubes a week.
You sound like my girl gang Christine - you don’t want to be waited down with a huge collection. And 9 to 10 cubes a week …you really do have a lot in common with them!! Yikes I warm a whole bar at a time & probably change my wax 3 times a week 😳 I plan on whittling down my collection to strong performers I love so I can aim for longer warms. Patricia’s challenge is a great way to try a variety. I have not joined in yet.
I’ve tried both clubbing and hauling. But after trying both methods now primarily club for various reasons. Some been. When I haul or don’t think I’m a fan of a scent or find it so light that I don’t get throw and come back after it’s cured and love it then don’t have it in club and are disappointed. I also tend to hoard if they aren’t in my club because I can’t get them again even if I have a small stash. also if I haul where I live as it quite warm 9-10 months of the and even very hot summer I get sweaty gooey bars no mater how and where I store them and honestly I have so much wax to work through clubbing gives me the time to decide if I really like that scent enough to want it come again and if I don’t can edit it out
I’m like you Natasha! I hoard things I love if they’re not in my club! And although the summers are hot where I live - we have a respite from heat from September til April at least - I have to keep my bars in the basement to keep them from getting goopy during those warmer months. I always wonder how those in hotter climates manage. That’s absolutely a good reason not to stock up too much. Good point about the fact that clubbing allows you to pace yourself & try out things without pressure 👍🏻
Ok Angel here goes. This was explained to me by someone else & I’ve only done it once but it worked. I think it’s meant to be used at the end of a season to save discontinuing bars in case they don’t return. The idea is to have them in a club that you don’t want to have shipped until you know if they’re returning. It only works for catalogue bars (at least that is what I was told) I’ll explain it using this season - Spring/Summer. 1) You have to wait until August to find out what is discontinuing. Once that is announced you create a new quarterly club & put your favourite discontinuing catalogue bars in there. Be sure the “ship immediately” is unchecked (this is important)! Then process providing your info etc. Scentsy will let you pick a date or assign one. Pick something in August but in the future (not the day you’re doing this) 2) Before the ship date in August you skip the club. All the bars in the club are catalogue bars so they are still “active” so you’ve skipped while they are still active. This will set the next shipment date to three months ahead to November. 3) In September all these bars will now be locked. The new shipping date will be sometime in November. You’ve skipped once while they were active but now that your next shipping date is November & the bars are locked you skip again. Because this is the first time skipping the locked bars it lets you without losing them & resets the next shipment to February. In February you will know what’s returning. Important: Don’t add anything to this club it is mean as a place-holder - this club is just meant to protect catalogue bars from the previous season only. Do not add LTO’s or SOTM etc. Also I was nervous I would mess up so I put my favourite favourites in my other clubs for safe keeping until I knew all my skips would work. I did a hack club for fall winter & in August once I know what’s returning in F/W 2023 I will go into my hack club & remove the returning bars. The ones that aren’t I will move into a monthly club to stock up for a bit. I will empty my hack quarterly & use it again at the end of F/W in 2024. Hope all of this makes sense. Be careful - if you absolutely love something have it saved somewhere else until you know this worked. Like I said I’m no expert I just followed someone else’s instructions.
Linda, I have been watching everyone’s videos to try to figure out why my bar of watermelon patch SMELLED LIKE STINKY FEET!! I couldn’t understand why everyone loved this bar because my experience with WP was so awful, and figured maybe my nose had gone rogue 🤷♀️
You are not alone Lisa! As soon as I smelled it on cold I thought it was weird. Several others said the same thing in the comments on that video. Stinky feet was my first thought too. I think there must have been an ‘off’ batch poured & we got them …or maybe it’s our noses!? I have warmed it before years ago & it didn’t smell like that but I don’t like it enough to bother ordering another one.
@@allthingswax I’m not sure if it is our noses or the bars. I have had Watermelon Patch in the past though & it didn’t smell like this that I remember so I’m wondering if it was a bad batch.
Oh boy, where do I start… seeings how I have 100+ bars in my quarterly club, I think I have a problem 😳 A quarterly club is all I have and I skip it once a year - okay so I’m getting 3 of each bar a year (most bars in my club are just one bar) I was able to widdle off about 20 bars, thank goodness, but I still ended up with 105 bars for May Club. I seriously hope I can get my stuff together and start having small open houses or sip and sniffs and start selling some off so that I’m not drowning in these bars After warming the BBMB I found myself disappointed in at least half of them, which is a good thing for my Club 😂 Vanilla Suede was and is one of my top favorite scents and that went into club, I also added rustic lodge, whiteout and believe it or not cherry vanilla! I was shocked that I liked this one, it was just a different cherry to me and I really liked it ❤ I am hoping to skip august club, but I skipped last august and I’m still confused as to whether I can skip it in august because somewhere along the line I had heard you have to wait a year plus one day to skip or else you can lose bars? I need to call home office to check. I’m hoping most fall winter bars I have in club now will return so that I can remove them, but on the flip side, now I have to add in the spring summer bars that will be discontinuing 😂 so it becomes a wash in my bar count - ugh
You do have a great club though Becky! I watched your club haul videos - part 1 & 2. I have a set number limit for my clubs but going forward when I weed out ones I don’t enjoy as much anymore I plan on putting 2 or 3 of the ones I love in instead. Less variety but more bars that I reach for. I get frustrated when I get my club & warm a favourite but then having to wait another 3 months (more if I skip) for another bar. I’m not sure on how the skipping works exactly either. My first ever skip was December 2022. I have heard from some that it has to be a full 12 months so in my case I skipped December 26 so I have to wait until after December 26th to skip again!? Some people dispute that so I’m going to have to do some research too. I do not club much from spring-summer maybe 4 or 5 & if I had to I could just club 2 or 3. It’s not my favourite season. Fall-Winter though …yikes. I went crazy this year clubbing so much. I need to pare down next time. I can’t save everything. Same with BBMBs. I think if you had a Sip & Sniff you could probably sell some stock. I usually only have one bar of each scent to smell so I don’t sell them directly I order what the customer wants but if I had more in stock they definitely would buy them right then & there so they can take them home. Smelling full sized bars usually makes them more eager. They also will come shop from your stash later if they know what you have. Good luck with that if you do it❣️
The scent of the month for July, I thought was nice on cold on warm it comes alive and is now one of my top favorites. 😊
So happy to hear that Jamilyn❣️Looking forward to warming it!
I always appreciate your thoughts on the bars. You’re spot on for my nose :)
Thank you Mindy! 🤗💛

BBMB timeframe is hard because I personally don’t like to warm or make decisions until a bar has cured for 3 months. For me, the scent/throw of a 1 month pour is night & day to a three month cure. In general, my method is to place an order on the 1st for bars I may like. Then I wait till the very last week so they can cure as long as possible. I warm 2 cubes in a test area, & order 2-3 bars of each one I like, plus any new additions from watching reviews. I always club 3 of everything to start, then change it as needed before my quarterly ships. I like having 3-4 bars on hand at all times because then I always have cured bars ready to warm.
I’ve also learned there’s no point in overstocking or hoarding my collection. When a bar starts to turn, it doesn’t smell like what I loved, & then it’s a huge bummer. My Wish taught me that, & watching Robyn’s practicality has been super helpful too. Last fall I came up with a personal warming timeframe for each scent category which helps me gauge my quantities & keeps my buying in check. Bakery/spice/woods/vanilla/ starts to decline after 2.5 -3 years, floral 2 years, & both fruit and citrus 1 year. I just make sure I can warm what I have & what I want within those timeframes, & it’s been a game changer!
I really enjoyed watching this video & hearing about your friends opinions!! The first time I smelled Happy Birthday was several years ago, but it was old & super wet/gloppy. I hated it so much I didn’t even warm it, & I actually threw it away! The only reason I gave it a second chance this time was because of the positive reviews. I’m so happy I tried it again because I freaking love it! Just goes to show what an old bar and a good review can do! Lol
Wow Kara! You have a great system in place. So well thought out. I agree - bars that have been in my stash a few months almost always seem to do better. If I can get my stock down to just favourites I could do something similar. You are right about bars turning. I stocked up on Blond Wood & Moonflower when it was a BBMB. I just warmed my last two bars. The last 3 or 4 were definitely “off” - not horrible but just not as lovely. I tend to stock up (& hoard 🤣) on bakery/vanilla & again you’re right they do have a better shelf life. Thanks so much for the outline it will be helpful to others reading comments❣️
@@lindah_home_and_scents I realized after posting that I totally went overboard on my answer! 🥸 I’m so sorry it was so long! Lol. I really need to find some local friends to chat with because this is what happens when I can’t talk openly about fun stuff. I came up with that system after realizing how much I was buying on impulse and excitement during flash sales. I have so many bars and regrets sitting in the basement lolol Thank you for being so kind in your reply and for reading the novel I wrote 🥰😆🫣
@@kara5219-Krose_8 Please don’t apologize! I love reading all the interesting details my wax friends share! And I honestly believe people especially those new to Scentsy are interested in hearing that sort of information. 🤗💛
Love that you did a sip and sniff. That sounds like it was a lot of fun! I’ve set some limits to how much wax I want on hand and my clubs. The number of bars are based on where I warm. I need more bars for my open and less if it’s a smaller area.
Thanks Angie - it was a fun! Watching your channel I always admire how balanced & honest you are with yourself when it comes to how scents perform for you. I aim to get there. I’m still lured by something pretty or creamy yummy that smells great but is too light for my kitchen/living room. I end up with too many small room only bars. I’m trying to turn that around!
My favourite was definitely vanilla suede, and it immediately went into my quarterly club. I also clubbed cashmere pear, churro churro, white sands, painted leaves, happy birthday and my wish. My club ships October 6, so I will know by that time what fall and winter bars will be returning and hopefully I’ll be able to remove all the ones I’ve been holding in there to help offset the addition of these BBMb’s. Like you, I try to keep my club at a certain amount but right now, with all those added in, I’m over budget, lol. The struggle is real. Thanks for a great video.
Thanks Lynn! 🤗 Great list! I almost always club a list of BBMBs & then end up removing them as I get to warming them. My husband’s club ships October too so I have time to decide what to keep long term. The temporary monthly will give me a chance to test drive the scents. You are spot on “the struggle is real” 🤣
We’re the smaller percentage who get attached to the scent itself. Clubs are our thing. Scentsy discontinuing bars certainly doesn’t help our behavior.
Almost all of my family & quite a few friends have multiple warmers and like to melt but would rather buy 3-6 bars of a scent they like instead of setting up a club. And they keep their wax in usually 4-7 days.
I’m not sure what will stay in my club from this bbmb. Happy Birthday is the only one I’ve previously kept in for a long stretch. I’m surprised, but I am actually going to club lemon drizzle cake before it leaves. It does much better for me than lemon coconut chiffon and I like it just as well.
You’re thought process makes perfect sense. This summer is a good time to tackle your bins. Fall will be here before we know it.
Your family & friends sounds like my girl gang❣️A smaller inventory of favourites, no club & longer warming periods. I think you’re right - us RUclips wax fans are the minority. I also prefer Lemon Drizzle Cake to Lemon Coconut Chiffon!! In fact I think LDC performs better. Given that Scentsy is skimpy on the spring-summer bakery I might club it too when it discontinues. I would probably warm it well into the fall.
Great video, Linda! The Sip & Sniff sounds like it was a great time!
I club and haul bars. I usually only haul bars at the end of the season and I get 2 or 3 bars of some scents that I like but aren’t club worthy but want to have on hand for next year.
Thank you Anna❣️ That’s my goal…to use up all of my one-offs-not-favourites & then haul a few of the ones I really enjoy at the end of the season to have on hand. I want to club just my absolute gems.
Hi Linda! I really like hearing about what your Girl Gang is interested in! I think it helps ground us Wax Addict's...lol! Love the insight! I do both...I haul and club! I haul in case there is ever a glitch in Scentsy's System and everything crashes and my bars are gone...ya never know. Also I like to have a stash in my possession...in case I may have to give a few the boot. I really like having stash to cure as well! I club to continually receive bars that are discontinued. Plus I club bars from one catalog season to the next to protect my love's! Great video...TFS! Have a blessed weekend!
lol Valerie yes it does ground us wax addicts. It actually helps me a lot to hear their point of view. I like to have a stash on hand too my problem is I end up with wax I don’t really like too. I’m trying to fine tune that. You sound like you have a good system in place! Thanks my friend happy weekend to you too❣️
I need to warm Vanilla Suede as Rustic Lodge I thought I would adore based upon the scent profile and I was so disappointed! It’s way to light for my open concept. I mixed with Hemingway in alternating warmers and that was pleasant but still Hemingway shined more than RL. Oh well saves me money or allows me to up the quantity on my beloved Beach! 💕
I am a little worried about Rustic Lodge too Dionne. I warmed it in my family room & it was just the right hue but that room is easy to scent. I’m wondering how it will do on my main floor. That’s why I’m experimenting with this temporary monthly club. I love Vanilla Suede & it does fine in my living room but some are saying it’s light for them. Beach was a boomer for me - I can understand why it’s a fan favourite!
Great video Linda! I generally haul 3 bars of a scent I really enjoy and if I love it then I’ll haul 6 bars and potentially put it in my club. I also have a limit to the number of bars I can put in my club otherwise it gets crazy so I really have to adore a scent to put it in my club.
Thanks Melanie❣️I’m still debating whether I should do 6 pack bundles & just leave my absolute favourites in my temporary monthly club to stock up extras. I like your thought process.
The BBMBs that I liked I did an order and ordered 3 of each bar. Then I added the ones that I LOVE to my bi monthly club (2-3 bars each until I have a stock pile and then I’ll bring it down to 1) and ones I like to my quarterly club (1 bar each) the ones in my quarterly probably won’t stay the whole time or even the next shipment but I didn’t want BBMB to go away and then I regretted it. So to answer your question I always order 3 bars of what I like and I usually club what I love
I might copy that method Jessica. I’ve already warmed some of the bars I hauled in this video & now have to wait until July to get more in that temporary monthly club. Also, I might just go in & order 2-3 bars of the ones I seem to be reaching for. I should bump up the number in the club since we can’t increase after June 30th..I can always take it down afterwards. 🤗 This is why I love my viewers comments- they’re so helpful❣️
@@lindah_home_and_scents I always add more of a quantity of new bars to my club because I have realized when I find a new bar that I like warming I reach for it more often to start and then I slowly stop reaching for it as much and that’s when I bring the quantity down
Omgggg i fell in love with Vanilla Suede!!!
Love your videos
Thank you Darrella❣️and 🙌 Vanilla Suede!
enjoyed your video, I have not yet warmed pacific mist yet I'm still working my way through the BBMB's.
My favorite bars from R3 top 12 BBMB this round is Honey pear cider & Summer Holiday.
I have a Scentsy club Heartbreak, I was 4 days late reading my emails to update bank details so my club didn't not process this month and found out last night I have lost 3 bars that were very much loved and felt i would never get rid of they were Cider Mill, Apple Smores and Saddle up. I so wanted to cry, my son came over and gave me a big hug to make me feel better so when i see these 3 bars and Homestead Holiday in future BBMB voting I will be voting like crazy.
So I have order a Scentsy whiff box last night since My club did not process this month.
Awww that’s too bad Angela. How lovely of your son to try to comfort you. I’m patiently waiting for Apple S’mores to come back. I lost that one when I lost my club a few years ago. R1 was offered a Cowboy Hat warmer bundle this past week that included Saddle Up so I stuck that in my temporary monthly club so I can try it. The bundle sold out but I could still add the bar. Lucky you though you get Summer Holiday! I thought for sure it would come back to the S/S catalogue & it didn’t. Of course I didn’t club it 🤦🏼♀️ and now I only have one bar that I’m hoarding. It’s one of my favourites for summer. I would vote like crazy for Homestead Holiday too 🙌
Hi Linda! The Sip & Sniff feedback/orders was really interesting! It kind of makes you feel like we're in our own little universe here in Scentsy land on RUclips doesn't it? To see bars like Happy Birthday get passed over is really eye opening! I guess we wax addicts are made just a wee bit different than your average folks 😉 As for your question at the end, I do both. Stock up and add to club. I usually keep at least 3 on hand of club bars and if it's one I really love and tend to go through a lot I'll grab a 6 pack in that scent plus add to club but that's a rare occurrence. I usually stick with 3 + club. Now there are some exceptions to this rule. Let's say Central Park Pralines makes it back, now that is a super love, top 10 Scenty scent of all time. For that one i would buy two 6 packs minimum plus add to club. Going crazy like that is reserved for those rare unicorn bars that I adore 🥰
Yes my friend…I was a bit surprised at the indifference to yummy bakery bars. There were actual “yucks” shared 😳 over Happy Birthday! I do sometimes think we RUclips Scentsy fans are in our own little universe. I am so tempted to go in and haul a couple of 6 packs too but I’m trying to get my inventory down to a sane level. I’ll probably crack though & order more before June 30th. So far it doesn’t look like they’re going to extend BBMBs.
I noticed with bakery…. Most of my customers won’t order them until fall/winter….I love it all year lol
Me too Michelle! Sometimes on a blazing hot day I might not warm it but bakery with fruit works most of the time!
Thanks Linda for another great video. you’re the first I’ve seen talking about haul /club. I’m new to clubbing so still all over the place on deciding how to do things. I too want to have a limit. It can be overwhelming. 😃
Thank you Deb❣️Yes figuring out what to club how often to get it etc can be overwhelming. It can get away from you too if you’re not careful. At least that is my experience. I try (and usually succeed 🙄) to stay within my bar limit/budget by only clubbing absolute favourites. Hauling wax via bundles through a party link is still my preferred way to shop.
Thank you for a great discussion, it was so interesting to hear what people actually liked from the BBMB. HAPPY BIRTHDAY is great but how many bakery scents can we already get from vendor wax?
Thanks Kim! It sounds like there are so many amazing bakery scents offered through vendor wax. I stick to Scentsy, except for a few thrift store finds of retail wax. I stick with Scentsy for a couple of reasons. One - I’m scared to ‘go there’ 😳 I already have so much wax & I don’t want to be tempted by all the delicious vendor offerings. Also I’ve heard from other Canada RUclipsrs that shipping costs from U.S. vendors is very expensive. There are some but not many Canadian vendors but I have yet to try anything.
Thank you for mentioning this, and as always giving us great content😘
Awww thanks so much Lisa❣️
Just cancelled both my monthly and quarterly clubs…I was spending WAY too much money on scents…I will continue to haul intermittently…great video as always, Linda 😊
Thanks Susan! You know I’ve thought about doing that too. I started with one quarterly, then added a second quarterly & now I have the temporary monthly. Yikes. Once fall-winter is announced I hope to get my husband’s quarterly down to 10 bars. I do tend to warm through my club bars it’s always the extras that bog me down. Good for you!
Nice hauls Linda! I did something similar with my boyfriends club, started a bi-monthly hack club. Will skip July shipment which will give me time to warm those more fall themed BBMBs + make room in his Quarterly when new Fall catalog is announced. I'm trying 'mini stock ups' if I am in doubt on LTOs. Will put in club & order 2-3 bars separately. If I warm 1 before club processes, I can choose to keep it in or let it go. It's a somewhat happy medium of keeping FOMO at bay but not being overwhelmed with bars sitting around. So far, so good!
Great minds think alike! 🙌 My husband’s club doesn’t ship until October too. I want to get my bar count down to under 15 before that 🤞🏻FOMO is alive & kicking for me too. I love your mini stock up idea.
I loved hearing about your sip and sniffs. I have had a few and it is fun when the guys get into it too. It’s always surprising how different our preferences are compared to every one else. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Martha❣️I love hearing different opinions that’s why I enjoy watching everyone on RUclips. It would be boring if we all liked the same things!
I’m getting tired of all the games that scentsy plays with all of these scents. (Especially the bakery) I’m thinking about canceling my two clubs and just purchasing vendor wax. But that’s just my opinion. They should allow at least two skips. I love watching all your videos!
Thank you! I’m so happy you watch❣️I agree - I think they should give us a little more leeway with the clubs. Someone said they do that so they can plan ahead for pouring the non-catalogue scents but I’m not sure why they can’t give us a bit more flexibility. The bakery I do not understand …especially with their competitors (vendors) doing such a brisk business because of their great bakery scents. Scentsy will lose business - maybe yours - because of that. I wish they watched RUclips & read comments.
I think that if we had more flexibility, we would have a lot less of the new and exciting. While I am a creature of habit, I do look forward to all the new collections, scents of the month, and LTOs.
I enjoy the SOTM & LTOs, but I can't keep up... mentally or financially. And then there's the club. It's exhausting.
@@allthingswaxgood point I hadn’t thought of that!
@@frag_g I often just skip on a collection even though I have a Scentsy RUclips channel & I should be reviewing them. It can get to be too much. I didn’t try any of the Rainbow offerings or that glamour girl bundle - I don’t remember what it was called last spring-summer. I wish I’d passed on the Spring Bricks this year.
Great video, Linda! It is such a decision about putting things into a club vs doing a party order! I tend to do party orders, but I totally understand your logic for this monthly club, I hadn’t thought of it like that before. I tend to stock pile BBMB when they come out and I’ve taken several out of my club because I still have a stockpile and too many new things come out so I don’t get around to warming them
Thanks Michelle❣️I prefer shopping towards a party - plus the bundle & save is the best value. If I know I love & will use the bars that is my go-to. In the past I’ve stockpiled BBMBs & the same thing - I don’t get around to using them. I’m hoping this method allows me to really determine which of the scents I’ll love long term before I haul too many.
This was so interesting. I appreciate you sharing your Sip & Sniff experience.
Thank you so much! 🤗💛
I normally only order bars through my club (to save on shipping), plus it gives me more time to watch reviews and decide what I want to try. I did make a special order since there were a lot of bars I wanted to try from BBMB and I’m not getting a club until October. But I don’t feel rushed to get through them - I have added them to my club and will eliminate the ones I don’t want more of as I warm through. In an ideal world, I wouldn’t have a huge stash to manage at home and I hope to get there someday, but with vendor wax and such, it is a lot!
That’s an excellent way to handle the BBMBs Shondi! That gives you lots of time to try them out.
I do both! I do hauls, and I also add to my club. I find that I never haul enough, and always run out! I didn’t have club for awhile. I deleted it a few years ago. I went without one for a few years, but found that I like having so many different choices (as only BBMB or LTO’s go in my club). I LOVE bakery, so my club is also used for my beloved bakery scents (as Scentsy keeps taking more and more away from us).
I’m the same way Rene! I started my husband’s club to save Almond Croissant, Apple Butter Frosting & Butter Pecan. I’m clubbing Happy Birthday & Churro Churro as well. Scentsy has been stingy with the bakery lately. I would love to see them offer more in that category. Also although I love my clubs it’s frustrating having favourites you can only get every 3 months. I use them up as fast as they get here. 🤷♀️
My mom also will keep her wax in for a week and will melt like one cube at a time…. She laughs at me for how often I change mine and how much I use lol
lol I would not smell anything if I did that. That’s hilarious. My girl gang are week long melters but I think they load up their warmers. My mom is pretty stingy too but she’s almost 90 & grew up during the depression. I’m probably the same age as your mom.
Loved seeing the breakdown of the BBMB orders - so interesting! That’s how I like to do sip n sniff parties with my family - read the description and pass around the bar. It is so fun to hear everyone’s thoughts on a scent. I am planning on stocking up on a few bars and trying not to add much to my club. Great video, Linda 💜
Thanks Carrie! 🤗💛 I want to keep my clubs in check too. This temporary monthly is my “staggered haul” 🙄 (at least that’s what I’m telling myself” 🤣
Your sip and sniffs always sound fun but this one sounds like it was really fun!! My hubby really gets into smelling my Scentsy which I love getting his feedback we have introduced his best friend to it as well which is funny because he's definitely not the type you would like would get into it. My home is small and the living room and kitchen are connected so I warm the same thing in both rooms or do a alternating mix and it's almost always bakery or spice. I love your idea with club for the bbmbs. I only wanted to try 7 bars and only 2 of my customers wanted to try 1 Bar each both of which I was getting so I threw them into my club and it'll be here Monday I also always add the sotm to my monthly club because I haven't been too thrilled with them this year. I club always over stocking up
I love that! Your husband & friend getting into it. The men in my life tease me about Scentsy but they like having everything smell nice. I could probably get away with doing the same scent throughout my living room kitchen too it’s pretty open actually. I’m with you on the SOTMs - I can’t imagine what I would do with 8 bars from the consultants kit. Even making testers for customers would leave me with too many leftover.
My club is getting way too big…. If it doesn’t wow me on first warm it doesn’t go in…. I know I may be missing out on some scents but I just can’t keep adding bars in now 100% sure of right away
I’m going to have to do that too Michelle- be more particular. I give bars too many chances.
LOL I was NOT impressed either with W Patch!! I thought it was sort of yuck too. SO MANY I loved this time around. I do both haul & club. I didn't get the consultant early access. I hauled 2 each what I thought or knew I'd love first order. I will haul 2 more of each I really liked. Seasonal bars go into quarterly club 2 ea. Year rounds went into bi-month, 2 of each. It just gets too expensive to do more than that. I have a 20 bar limit too.
Me too Mary - I have a lot I love in this BBMB round! 🍉not so much 🤣 Ideally I’d like to bring my husbands club down to 15 & keep mine at 20. They are both quarterly & ship on alternate months which is good for the budget. That with a skip is doable. My ultimate goal is to only have stellar performers that I love in those clubs. I keep getting lured by FOMO though. I’d love to do 2 bars each but I have to get mote strict in order to do that. 🤷♀️ …your system sounds great.
I have a club and sometimes buy bars in between. I don’t have a huge stash and would rather try new scents than always get the same ones. I do the monthly warming challenge with Patricia Gaetz and I use up 9-10 cubes a week.
You sound like my girl gang Christine - you don’t want to be waited down with a huge collection. And 9 to 10 cubes a week …you really do have a lot in common with them!! Yikes I warm a whole bar at a time & probably change my wax 3 times a week 😳 I plan on whittling down my collection to strong performers I love so I can aim for longer warms. Patricia’s challenge is a great way to try a variety. I have not joined in yet.
I’ve tried both clubbing and hauling. But after trying both methods now primarily club for various reasons. Some been. When I haul or don’t think I’m a fan of a scent or find it so light that I don’t get throw and come back after it’s cured and love it then don’t have it in club and are disappointed. I also tend to hoard if they aren’t in my club because I can’t get them again even if I have a small stash. also if I haul where I live as it quite warm 9-10 months of the and even very hot summer I get sweaty gooey bars no mater how and where I store them and honestly I have so much wax to work through clubbing gives me the time to decide if I really like that scent enough to want it come again and if I don’t can edit it out
I’m like you Natasha! I hoard things I love if they’re not in my club! And although the summers are hot where I live - we have a respite from heat from September til April at least - I have to keep my bars in the basement to keep them from getting goopy during those warmer months. I always wonder how those in hotter climates manage. That’s absolutely a good reason not to stock up too much. Good point about the fact that clubbing allows you to pace yourself & try out things without pressure 👍🏻
Linda how do I make a hack club plz help me ty
Ok Angel here goes. This was explained to me by someone else & I’ve only done it once but it worked. I think it’s meant to be used at the end of a season to save discontinuing bars in case they don’t return. The idea is to have them in a club that you don’t want to have shipped until you know if they’re returning. It only works for catalogue bars (at least that is what I was told) I’ll explain it using this season - Spring/Summer.
1) You have to wait until August to find out what is discontinuing. Once that is announced you create a new quarterly club & put your favourite discontinuing catalogue bars in there. Be sure the “ship immediately” is unchecked (this is important)! Then process providing your info etc. Scentsy will let you pick a date or assign one. Pick something in August but in the future (not the day you’re doing this)
2) Before the ship date in August you skip the club. All the bars in the club are catalogue bars so they are still “active” so you’ve skipped while they are still active. This will set the next shipment date to three months ahead to November.
3) In September all these bars will now be locked. The new shipping date will be sometime in November. You’ve skipped once while they were active but now that your next shipping date is November & the bars are locked you skip again. Because this is the first time skipping the locked bars it lets you without losing them & resets the next shipment to February. In February you will know what’s returning.
Important: Don’t add anything to this club it is mean as a place-holder - this club is just meant to protect catalogue bars from the previous season only. Do not add LTO’s or SOTM etc. Also I was nervous I would mess up so I put my favourite favourites in my other clubs for safe keeping until I knew all my skips would work. I did a hack club for fall winter & in August once I know what’s returning in F/W 2023 I will go into my hack club & remove the returning bars. The ones that aren’t I will move into a monthly club to stock up for a bit. I will empty my hack quarterly & use it again at the end of F/W in 2024.
Hope all of this makes sense. Be careful - if you absolutely love something have it saved somewhere else until you know this worked. Like I said I’m no expert I just followed someone else’s instructions.
@@lindah_home_and_scents tyvm
i get 12 bars
That’s a sensible number Angel. Very manageable!
@@lindah_home_and_scents ty
Linda, I have been watching everyone’s videos to try to figure out why my bar of watermelon patch SMELLED LIKE STINKY FEET!! I couldn’t understand why everyone loved this bar because my experience with WP was so awful, and figured maybe my nose had gone rogue 🤷♀️
You are not alone Lisa! As soon as I smelled it on cold I thought it was weird. Several others said the same thing in the comments on that video. Stinky feet was my first thought too. I think there must have been an ‘off’ batch poured & we got them …or maybe it’s our noses!? I have warmed it before years ago & it didn’t smell like that but I don’t like it enough to bother ordering another one.
Mine does as well. Is it us or a defect?
@@allthingswax I’m not sure if it is our noses or the bars. I have had Watermelon Patch in the past though & it didn’t smell like this that I remember so I’m wondering if it was a bad batch.
Oh boy, where do I start… seeings how I have 100+ bars in my quarterly club, I think I have a problem 😳
A quarterly club is all I have and I skip it once a year - okay so I’m getting 3 of each bar a year (most bars in my club are just one bar) I was able to widdle off about 20 bars, thank goodness, but I still ended up with 105 bars for May Club. I seriously hope I can get my stuff together and start having small open houses or sip and sniffs and start selling some off so that I’m not drowning in these bars
After warming the BBMB I found myself disappointed in at least half of them, which is a good thing for my Club 😂 Vanilla Suede was and is one of my top favorite scents and that went into club, I also added rustic lodge, whiteout and believe it or not cherry vanilla! I was shocked that I liked this one, it was just a different cherry to me and I really liked it ❤
I am hoping to skip august club, but I skipped last august and I’m still confused as to whether I can skip it in august because somewhere along the line I had heard you have to wait a year plus one day to skip or else you can lose bars? I need to call home office to check.
I’m hoping most fall winter bars I have in club now will return so that I can remove them, but on the flip side, now I have to add in the spring summer bars that will be discontinuing 😂 so it becomes a wash in my bar count - ugh
You do have a great club though Becky! I watched your club haul videos - part 1 & 2. I have a set number limit for my clubs but going forward when I weed out ones I don’t enjoy as much anymore I plan on putting 2 or 3 of the ones I love in instead. Less variety but more bars that I reach for. I get frustrated when I get my club & warm a favourite but then having to wait another 3 months (more if I skip) for another bar. I’m not sure on how the skipping works exactly either. My first ever skip was December 2022. I have heard from some that it has to be a full 12 months so in my case I skipped December 26 so I have to wait until after December 26th to skip again!? Some people dispute that so I’m going to have to do some research too. I do not club much from spring-summer maybe 4 or 5 & if I had to I could just club 2 or 3. It’s not my favourite season. Fall-Winter though …yikes. I went crazy this year clubbing so much. I need to pare down next time. I can’t save everything. Same with BBMBs. I think if you had a Sip & Sniff you could probably sell some stock. I usually only have one bar of each scent to smell so I don’t sell them directly I order what the customer wants but if I had more in stock they definitely would buy them right then & there so they can take them home. Smelling full sized bars usually makes them more eager. They also will come shop from your stash later if they know what you have. Good luck with that if you do it❣️
