Joely - I love the batting cage analogy! And at least you've had the best donuts and the best burgers and fries. LOL

Hyacinth is a nice floral, but not for me beyond my two-hour limit. lol I think floral lovers would like it, but it's fairly robust (fyi).

I'm actually not crazy about In-n-out Fries and I really wish they had onion rings! I've been craving onion rings lately. (hmm, onion ring tarts? Nahhh) Those donuts look yummy!

Hey, Joely! Good to see you find your way out of all the shipping boxes for a moment. I looove In-N-Out fries..yummy! I also love onion rings. Jack-in-the-Box has really good ones...another favorite place they do not have here.

Bonza, Hyacinth is one of my favorites, but I have always loved the scent. My grandmother used to grow them and they always bloomed around my birthday so the scent brings fond memories to mind. It is a robust scent, not too strong for me, but I can see that it might be for someone who is more indifferent to it.

Bonza- I'm with you on those floral scents. I tend to like a mix and not too strong! BTW- I love the DH's "smellies". Joely- I'm so jealous of all the good eating you did today. I had a hankering all day for a burger and fries but was to lazy to go out and get it! And those three glazed Krispy Kremes look so good. Julip- The more Lovely warms the more I love it! I cant wait to hear what you think about the body spray. I might just have to get that myself. Sea- I'll take onion rings and/or fries. I love them both equally. Johnny Rockets has the best of both worlds with the half and half platter. Yummy! Cathie- It sounds like Hyacinth is a real winner for you! Lots of wonderful memories tied to it

Jinksy - I am really enjoying the Lovely too, and can't wait to get the body products in it! I actually have the roll-on on the way in the Clean sscent, but I am sure the mist (and roll-on) in the Lovely will be on the next list. Cathie - so glad to hear you are enjoying the florals so much. I, like Jinksy and Bonza, am better with the blends - the straight florals tend to make me sneeze, but one exception is the Honeysuckle Vine. I love that one! Have you tried it?

I have TPs of Honeysuckle Vine but haven't tried them yet--now it is on the top of my list for the next rotation, lol. Tonight I tried a sample of Red Tea and am really liking it. It reminds me of the Green Tea, which I love, but is a lighter throw. It's funny because their descriptions aren't really alike but it does seem like a lighter version of Green Tea (which I am anxiously awaiting a bag of on my last order.)

Does anyone have plain lavendar? It's my most favorite scent and actually, the Healing Garden lavender is the only scent I can tolerate wearing at all. It started somewhere in my mid 20s when suddenly colognes etc. started giving me allergy/asthma-like symptoms and even if I tried to wash them off, I still couldn't get over it totally. Years ago, Loves Lemon was the only thing I could tolerate and then I finally found lavender! I get more compliments from strangers wearing it, it's weird! I totally cannot tolerate vanilla at all. That's one of my concerns about the sample bag. My DD was crazy about the stuff and stunk up the whole house w/it years ago, and she and her sis still wear some forms of it and it still bothers me. I'll never forget sitting behind someone at church wearing it and not being able to even talk by the time we got out. I'd be using my son's inhaler! That bad! That's why I was worried about the tarts. Well, good news is, DH seems to be quite taken with the cookie tart!! He almost seemed to be complaning a bit about it in the morning when I first came out since he said it was so strong after he had it on for a bit, he turned it off. Well, something changed during the day because it was ON all day, all evening until I finally turned it off! My son is still complaining about it smelling like food he wants to eat! LOL I know someone answered this wayyyyyyy back but I'm too lazy to search so could you tell me how I get this one out when I'm done with it? Do I pour it into a can or something when it's liquidy and then wipe out the glass? You experts have to take care of the newbie here doncha know. It's all your fault anyway. I never heard of the stuff before! heh heh I wish I could find a fresh apple pie tart. I think that would be a big hit and my son would be sure to be complaining! LOL

Watching, with the soy tarts (is that what you have?) and without a sili-cup, you either pour it out while it is liquid and then clean up the ramie, or let it get solid and then gently pull the sides away from the edge of the rami and pop it out, or even put it in the fridge, I guess. With a sili-cup it is much easier since you can let it solidify and then just pop it out.

Thanks Sea. I'm not sure if these are just regular wax or not. They don't say SOY on them. As I said, I just grabbed them at Michael's to give them a try. I don't have silicups and it's in a regular glass with sort of high sides, so I think I'll have to pour! I do believe I was putting the Apple Cobbler Delight on my "wish list" when I was looking at the site Sea! Thanks!

Yes, then you'll just have to decide when you are "done" and pour, quickly, into a safe container, such as a yogurt carton..

Watching - great to hear your family is taking to the tarts so well! I would say the ones from Michaels are most likely paraffin wax. If they were soy, it would probably be noted on the wrapper. Just to add to Sea's great advice, I would also take a look at Baked Apples as an "apple pie" scent. It is one of my favorites. No crust smell, but it does smell like apples cooking in the oven. It would be a good thing to have ingredients for the real thing (or one from the bakery) handy for your son, though, to keep the peace in the house! Another alternative to getting rid of the wax if you don't get to it while it is still liquid is to put the ramekin into the freezer for about 15-30 minutes. You will probably have to use a blunt knife to help separate the wax from the sides a little, but then if you push down on one side, the wax should pop right out. If you pour into the waste can, as long as you have a paper towel in the can or the can is lined, it should be fine - the wax cools very fast. For lavender, I suggest putting Bedtime Bath on your wish list. Jinksy discovered how good that one was and enabled us all. Lavender Vanilla is one of my favorites, but it can be a bit too sweet for some. Good luck!

Happy Sunday Tartettes! Today I have yummy banana split on the warmer (thanks to Julip) I can smell the banana, whipped cream, toppings, and maybe even the cherry. Yum-Yum. I also still have lovely going strong day three. It's really is lovely. Julip- Oops, I must have mixed up your "want list" with your "order list". lmao. You can't go wrong with the Clean roll-on scent either. I'm thinking about adding bedtime bath and lovely to my next order, in both body sprays and roll-ons I don't plan on placing another order until I've used up a good amount of my existing stash though Sea- I'm curious, Do you find the body mist stays on awhile? Or does it tend to wear off quickly?

The body mist lasts a long time! Now, Rosie! Tell those kitties these are not edible tarts!! Julip.. remember Watching is talking about a glass that is deep, so not sure how easy it will be to pop out the tart, even if it is frozen..

Lol. That was my way of saying hello to you all and the kitties reminded me of our kitties watching our monitors. They are so engrossed - a DVD in the making for sure. I feel sorry for that little one being surrounded like that.

Paj, I'm grumpy now.. I went to Target and they don't have those wonderful pyrex ramies at all.. just bigger custard cups.. not the same. So I'm treasuring mine all the more.

Hi everyone! Trying to catch up on the thread--sorry your green tart enabler didn't work out too well, Julip; that's a shame. And welcome home, Jinsky.
