I am sitting here all snuggled in my CC robe that I got for Christmas, and I haven't even turned the heater on yet! I am so loving this! In the evenings I snuggle under my throw while watching TV; now I'm thinking that I'm saving so much on my electric bill that I need to buy something else to satisfy my new CC addiction while there's such a good discount, but I don't know what else to buy! I have two hoodies, a v-neck sweater, a throw and a robe, and I also gave my son a robe for Christmas. Quick, someone tell me what else I can't live without!

Why, Merrysea...a double throw or a Q/K blanket, of course!

If you 'need' a dark colored hoodie, I have to really rave about the Lullabee ones...it has a great fit to it, and the material is just as lux.

The CC slippers are very cute and cozy! Love the color combos, too.

I do just love my Q/K janie blue blanket...sooo cozy.

Just ordered a second CC robe. I love my first one so much that I can't bear to be without it, so now I'll have two, eliminating the need to "go without" due to laundry day. :-)

Thanks, Joely!

Oh, I have the aqua ice now and ordered an espresso for contrast. :-)

Well, I was all ready to order somethin' somethin' special CC for myself the other night and THEN my STOOOOOOOPID car didn't pass inspection. Not only did it not pass inspection but they told me it was going to be 395.00 to replace the back passenger spring AND I need new wipers. Well that did not go along well with DH finally fessing up about only having a 4-day work wk ahead and us having to pinch pennies! Happy Bah humbug!!!!! Cars!!!!! Jobs!!!!!! GAH!!!!!!!!!

He did check today and found the part for 1/2 the price we were quoted at a parts store, but I fear he's going to try to take on more than he can handle with replacing it himself since they said they'd have to take out the back seat, speakers, among other things... I'm soooooooo #$@%#%@%!!!! I have literally been LIVING in my robe over my clothers - It keeps my legs warm (!) until I went out yesterday and then I wore my hoodie. Now I decided just for a change I should wear the hoodie but guess what? I have a quilt over my legs! I just wanted to look different when DH came home from errands w/DD!!!

I wish my oldest DD was still here. I'd love to compare her robe to mine and her sister's actually... hers is a 2, sis is a 1 and I have a 3, but what I'm distinctly remembering was before I got mine, I would sneak hers (giggle) and I remember the first time I put it on it almost felt like there was a cushion behind my neck. Mine doesn't feel that way, but it is plenty warm for me just the same. The other thing is, I got an XS hoodie for the younger DD and a M for the older daughter and I swear, there's not much difference in size, at least looking at the two of them. Didn't have time to compare them on Christmas and then the oldest DD headed back home. I do recall asking if the M was an older or newer style and seller said older so that's why I took that size. It really doesn't matter since DD thinks it's just fine because it's stretchy and questioned if it didn't look right when I asked questions! LOL (She's the hard kid to please and here I am asking questions. I should know better! haha) I'm just curious about sizes is all. Ooops someone at the door!

Am I just dumb or is there no picture of any of the tarts on the web page? I can find where you order them, the kinds, the burners, but no picture of a tart. I find plenty warnings about making sure no one eats them since they LOOK REAL, but nothing that I can LOOK AT??!! HELP!!

Heh heh, Bonza. GMTA!
Let the enabling begin!



Watching, there is a picture of the Tarty Parts, which I highly recommend for starting out. Those, and a sampler bag, which can be found under "Other Scents".

To clarify - in the bags of tarts with one scent, they will be whatever color they are for that scent...I just happened to take a picture of a white one. :o)

Merrysea, I would strongly suggest a blanket for your bed.. it makes not turning on the heat a joy! Between my king/queen blanket and throw (all on the bed) and my robes.. throw in my Ugg boots and I'm having a pretty toasty winter so far. I haven't even brought out the space heaters yet.

Thank you for the pictures!! I knew I could count on you!! LOL Scratch & Sniff!! I love it!!!!!!! I have a question about the "tart warmer" (I can't help but giggle because I have a dirty mind.. LOL) anyhooooooo... after one tart is melted is there anything left in the holder which you either have to remove or wash so if you use another scent, it won't be mixed with the previous one? Unless they look way different in person, I don't "think" I'd be inclined to eat one, but you never know about those people who trick their siblings into eating pet food & stuff! LOL

LOL Watchng - tart warmer.

The tart scent gradually disappears, but the wax does not evaporate. Each tart lasts an average of 2-3 days, sometimes longer, depending on how often you have the warmer on. When you don't detect a scent anymore, you can either pour out the warmed wax into a lined trash can (the wax cools quickly); wait till the wax cools, then run a blunt knife around the edges and pop out, or put the ramekin in the freezer for 15-30 minutes and pop out as above. Then wipe out any remnants, and you are ready for a new scent. I keep a collection of ramekins on hand so that I can switch out quickly, or rotate several scents at a time.

I'll be opening a soy tart thread in a little bit in Buyers Banter, but I highly recommend also visiting the message board linked from Alyce's site. It is at Delphi Forums, and the ladies there are full of great info and fun chatting. No need to join in, though - lurk all you want and read up on all the scent reviews. Alyce posts there often and she is great about responding to all her customers (just like Joely!)

Oh, and you would not believe the stories of tart-eating. Jinksy even posted a story just tonight in my folder!

Julip- Oh boy, here I come! If you haven't already done so, I think you should cut and paste the above tart photos. Love the whole tape measure shot. Good job Bonza.

Sea- Scratch and sniff would be the ultimate. It sure would help out when deciding what to order.
