I think I have tried Bedtime Bath about a year ago - one was in a sampler...and I remember thinking it was a great tart for the bedroom or master bath area. Very soothing and light.

And what is this "nut"? Are you pulling a Bonza? ROFL

ETA: Your lunch sounded very yummy as well! Good soup day today.

Julip- lmao, no I am not pulling a Bonza. She has a nut tart, I swear. I love that you answered my question before you knew I asked it. Good job!
Now, had you not pointed out the "most strongest", I would never have noticed. Now it is like a beacon of illiteracy. roflmao.

An hour ago I switched out the lavender for a Peppermint Cocoa (YC try-out). Yikes! Just call me Willy Wonka. No likey!

ROFL Jinksy - you have such a way with words - "beacon of illiteracy". We both seem to have a knack (as well as Bonza) for pointing out the worst or least obvious thing in our photos and postings. lmao

Holly - you are saying the Peppermint Cocoa is the YC? I ask because Alyce had a limited edition PC last year (a 3 month run) that was delicious! Though I think I like the minty scents more than most. Just wondering if one might have made a return appearance in a sample bag you got...but it sounds to me it is probably a YC. Is the lavender YC or SJ, and do you like that one?

Hope you cleared the air with something better!

Ok, I found the nut tart lol. It is so new, it does not have a description of it yet! Are you familiar with that scent at the Body Shop? I am not, because usually when I walk by TBC, the scents wafting out are so strong I don't even go in...but I do know they have some really nice ones. I used to like getting one that was cucumber melon or something like that, in the hand soap. Although, that would probably be too sweet for me in a candle/tart.

I am also intrigued by the Marshmallow Peeps one, but I am worried it might be too sticky sweet.

And another update to the Le Creuset/sili-cup combo. It works fine just as long as I make sure I remember to smoosh the cup down to the bottom of the ramekin while it is cold. Once the warmer is on, it expands, which holds the whole cup down fine. I made the mistake before of trying to smoosh it down after it had been slightly warmed, and it kept popping back up. So, all is well for my petite LCs again.

From Alyce's website:
Nut (Body Shop type)
Vanilla, cotton candy and a wisp of hawthorn and maple, this one is amazing!!!

It's in my shopping cart right now. I am just getting ready to finalize my order. I'll email you with the gi-normous list. Then I swear this is my last order for awhile. I hope. lol.

And Yes, we all have the same tendency to point out all the flaws in our pictures and posts. We should make it a New Year's resolution to give that up. Wouldn't it be great? Very freeing. lmao.

Listen, I have been sitting in a tire store for the past 90 minutes (nothing like a tire emergency in the middle of a perfectly lovely day) and I have a headache, therefore am in no condition to figure out what YC and SJ stand for. I'm sure I will suffer total humiliation when you tell me, but could you tell me....

Maybe the fact that I had to ask can become a beacon of ignorance. lmao.

While waiting for the freaking nail or screw to be pulled out of my tire, and waiting for the news of whether or not it would be a repairable pain-in-the-ass problem or not, I came up with an addition to the Retro Collection: Rubber Tire Headache Swirl.



ETA: and PC ????

Julip- I've been meaning to tell you. Last night I had pure grace on the upstairs warmer and when I went in the kitchen I noticed it was turned off. I asked the DH if he did that and he said Yes, that's giving me a headache. What??? Isn't that a bummer. I love that one. Looks like he'll have to move out. lmao. Just kidding of course. I'll have to use them when he's working. So far, that's the only one he's done that to.

Bonza- It sucks to be you right now. Uggh. Hope they fix it soon.

Jinksy - gracias.

And it's all fixed - it was repairable - $15 - how lucky am I? Well, except for the rubber headache.

Oops, just saw this one, PC = Peppermint Cocoa

Beacon of ignorance, I like that. But you know there are no silly questions.

Jinksy - RMAO: "Looks like he'll have to move out."

Last night DH requested that we turn off the burner (Lavender Vanilla). He said he liked it but felt it was being sucked toward him due to the fireplace being in full swing. He made some sort of a Mr. Wizard declaration about the fireplace magnifying the tart scent.

Can he bunk with your DH?

Bonza- Si, Senorita. You are very lucky indeed except for the rubber headache. $15 is a bargain. At least you came up with a terrific new tart for the retro collection. Everything happens for a reason. lmao.

Yes Julip, it's a YC (which I bought today just to try) but it's overwhelmingly chocolate! Now I love the brown stuff, but this is too much.

woo hoo! I was just posting and then thought to refresh first. Yes, my typing is getting lazier the faster this thread moves. lol

Jinksy - I think the no edit rule would just kill me. That is one resolution I know I can't keep lol. I would have nightmares.

Bonza - so glad they fixed it so cheaply! Did they fill it with a foam of some sort? I think that is how we had a nail mishap fixed years and years ago, but by now they may have something a little more sophisticated. Is it a temporary fix, or can you use the tire for a little while longer?

Oh, too bad about the Pure Grace. Guess you better get that Pet Castle book and start building him a new place out in back. lol. Seriously, that is a good sign... a milestone. DH is getting involved in the selection process. My DH is good at turning off the warmers too. rofl I ask him the same thing..."Did you turn this off?" lol now that I think about it. Who else would have in this house? Daphne? The cats?

And Jinksy, thanks for posting the Nut description and for explaining the abbreviations - yes, there are no silly questions here. I could not remember myself when or where I posted PC, so that is at the point I went to archives, then refreshed lol.

Anyway, where did you find the description? I can't wait till they are alphabetized!

Holly - P U! Chocolates are hard to duplicate in candles it seems like, don't you think? Even some in Alyce's I can't take. The cocoa one smells just like powdered cocoa, so it is not bad; but for me I think I would like it better mixed with a bit of creamy peppermint. Actually, a tart like that is a very good blending tart, to cut the too chocolately smell.

Bonza- You crack me up constantly, this sentence put me over the edge, "He made some sort of a Mr. Wizard declaration about the fireplace magnifying the tart scent." I'm laughing out loud over that one.
Maybe we can find them a nice two bedroom as long as you DH doesn't mind living with a smoker. Yes, my DH smokes (not in the house, unless it's up the chimney) and he has the nerve to complain about that delicious scent giving him a headache. I mean come on. lmao even more over that.

Julip - it's a totally permanent repair and they say it will last the life of the tire. I don't think they used foam, and I'm not sure if they said the word "patch" or if that's the rubber-induced voices in my head... but I totally trust these guys. If they can't make the repair they sell you a new tire - today I got lucky.

Jinksy -- Oy.Vey. They can freaking smoke together... and outside - the only place it happens here.

Drives me nutty. How about when he pets the puglets sweet heads and you go to give them a kiss and their little foreheads smell like an ashtray??

Don't get me started.... let's just sign a lease for them immediately!

LOL Bonza - love the new addition to the Retro Collection I bet the description on that one will be a doozy.

And a ditto lmao on the "Mr. Wizard declaration" about the physics of the fireplace effects on tarts.

Ugh, Jinksy. Get out that Steph's '80's room tart pronto. lol
