That makes complete sense. You don't need more heat in the house from warmers when it's so hot. I was away on vacation and picked the perfect week to leave because it was over the 100 mark for several days. Typically it will be in the 80's during the summer so this was a bit much, but I managed to miss most of it because I was in Colorado where it was quite beautiful this past week. I don't even want to look at L&S because I'm afraid I'll be tempted.
I usually include a theme that's seasonal, and then I would try to warm through a vendor that I have a few blends left, or say finish all my scent shots, something like that. I usually put 1 loaf, a few scoops, and a few candles in the basket too just so I don't neglect them.
Great July basket, Martha! ❤️🤍💙 shooting for the stars 💫 with this one …. Love the selection. Stone fruits, yes! Give me all of them, ( yes, cherries are a stone fruit 😊) Hope you had a great Fourth! 🫶🏻🍻
So funny you mention Heather Thomas. Last summer we were cleaning out Brad's moms house and she had kept all of his posters from his teen years. She had them nicely rolled up and one of them was of Heather Thomas. We kept all of them. Just couldn't get rid of them.
I have a melting basket but I usually only melt from it on the weekdays only and the weekends I just melt whatever I want. Usually I pull my oldest wax or scents i need to use up due to space haha. I organize them in groups of scents I’ll melt together so it’s easy to when I go to switch out. I store my wax by scent category so I only have summer scents out now and then fall/winter is in a big tote. Once it gets towards the end of the season I’ll go through and put anything I want to focus on finishing this year in my melting basket. I try not to have anything longer than a year so I’ll pull the older stuff or stuff that I have just small chunks of. Then the rest of that season goes into my large tote to store for next year.
That sounds like a great combo. I'll have to see if I have any Kakui & Coconut. I might have one left. Evening Sky reminded me a bit like Dashing which I really like but it was on the light side. I have Black Tie Affair in my club just in case I fall in love with it. Thanks for the mix suggestion!
Knowles Beach Evenings is, I'm going to say it, I think better than SGA 😮 . I'm obsessed with it!! I too struggle with Dessas 😢. But that's ok, one less vendor to contend with LOL. Great basket my friend!
Hey Martha! This is such a great melting basket! Yes I love Dessa’s Strawberry Zucchini Streusel…so much that I’m getting a loaf in her next opening! I really hope it performs for you. I’m also enjoying midnight rain this month! My method for my melting basket is normally going through each drawer and pulling a little bit based on whatever sounds good at the moment, how long I’ve had the wax and if I’m trying to make room for a preorder 😅
i’m commenting as you are mentioning suncastles, they said it’s a Sol de janerio dupe.. I️ don’t know if you are familiar with that body care line. I’d say they both don’t exactly smell the same but definitely are scent cousins. On warm to me it leans more bakery and i’d assume it’s that almond note.
Yes I am familiar and I can see that. It's been a while since I've smelled the body care line. I almost warmed it after work but I want to warm it when I'm going to get the most time spent with it. Maybe this weekend. Thanks for commenting and watching!
Hi Martha, it is to hot here to melt wax. So decided to pass on some openings this month, though I do have a list for Lavender and Speckles.

I love that. I need to remember to add scoops, or else I will never finish them

I was dreaming big with this basket. First day back home and it's the 6 day of the month, not even a dent. Oh well, I'll catch up

That is so funny. The Heathers were very popular in the eighties.
I am praying to the wax God's for Honey Bee in the next preorder!! 🙏🙏🙏. Amazing scent!
Me TOO!! It's so good. It will be in my Top 10 scents video...that reminds me I still have to make my list!

You are so organized! I love that. Thank you for sharing your process 🩵
Mix Suncastles with Kuikui and Coconut!! Its amazing!!!
Evening sky is very nice and Black Tie Affair is Fabulous and in my club!!!

Thanks for watching Travis

I agree, his Beach Evenings is the best. It's close to SGA but I agree with you, it's a bit better in my book.
Agree!!!

Your method sounds very similar to mine. 😃 I'll try to warm some Dessa's this week and see how it does. Fingers crossed
Oh Yay glad you're warming that smell good shop this month!! ❤❤
I'm excited to try them. Thank you for sending them too me 🩵
I have two melting baskets, trying to melt older wax first.
I'm trying to find a balance between melting old and also keeping it seasonal with a dash of a few newer scents
I REALLY like TSGS!!! Amitty Island is good!! I love that you can get A LOT of scents and not spend a ton of money!
I tried a few this week and I'm impressed! There we go, another vendor to add to the buying rotation!
@@Martha_FragranceCorner lol, its not too bad. you wont drop a ton of cash but it will increase the amount of wax 🤣🤣
@@Dazzling_scents_with_chris 🤣
great melting basket 🧺 can’t wait to see what you get through
It's ambitious but I think I can make a good dent. Thanks for watching Kristine!
Good product to use❤ 26:03
