I can't help it but I must say it. It's best NOT TO BE A STINKY GIRL ... or a girl that stinks... if you will. heh heh Especially if you're a girl that smells like tea and tobacco!

Watching - a girl smellin' like tea and tobacco would be 'stinky girl', not 'Stinky Girl'. LOL! Today is Old Favorites day. I have started Banana Nut Bread and Blackberry Sage this evening.

I'm glad we cleared up the "stinky" thing. I had two days with Banana Nut Bread and Vanilla Hazelnut Swirl - great fun when it's raining buckets. Then today I tried Rice Flower & Shea for the first time and it was very nice. Light, but pleasant. I find I am liking tarts that have amber listed in their scents.

Bonza - I will be interested to hear if Rice Flower & Shea turns on you on Day Two. I really enjoyed that one for the first few hours - very refreshing and I think I even posted here that it was my new favorite clean scent, and then...Day Two. I hope it is nice all the way through for you! Mmmmm...nice combo of BNB and VHS! Very cozy for a rainy day.

LOL Julip!!!! Ok, so I was saving Fresh Squeezed Oranges because I thought it would smell like I had an orchard in here and the cold smell was good AND everyone has made good comments about it. Well, I'm waiting for the smell to start wafting and suddenly I'm thinking... "What smells like someone is mopping the floor?" LOL Then I remembered one of the descriptions and it might be for this one, is supposed to smell like a cleaner. Just as I'm thinking I have to add something to it, my son tells me "this one is acceptable." LOL He's had some not great comments about otheres. Well, I added a piece of cherry vanilla to it to make like a fruit punch and it smelled much more acceptable to my sniffer! I didn't have the vanilla to make a creamsicle or I would have done that.

Where is everyone? I admit to being in-n-out most of the day so have nothing of a tart nature to report, but I will be trying Day Two of Rice Flower & Shea now.

Funny about FSO for you, Watching - that's one of my favorite spring scents ! LOL about your son being the tart authority in the house. That sounds like an interesting combo of FSO/CV. Speaking of - unless anybody really, really likes the smell of Vicks cherry cough drops, I must warn about mixing CV with Creamy Peppermint. I learned that the hard way - it is a dead-on dupe to cough drops. lmao Bonza - good luck on Day Two! I have been in-n-out here too, but still enjoying my Old Favorites Day with Banana Nut Bread and Blackberry Sage.

Day Two: Rice Flower & Shea will not make it to my "must have" list. I'm going to try something else now...

Uh oh - details, Bonza! Was it just and 'eh' scent then, or was it bordering on tart tragedy? Was Stinky Girl involved?

LOL - well, Julip - I was having trouble putting my finger on what was going bad on Day Two. I think it was a strong baby powder scent that was starting to emerge, so I ran the ramekin out to the garage before I had to summon Stinky Girl. Trying now, for the first time - Gardenia Blossoms.

LOL - I think I'm enjoying it, Sea! But I did make turkey chili tonight so it's not like there's a pure oxygen stream in the house for a true review. We'll review tomorrow during the dreaded Day Two!

Oh that was about your stinky run to the garage, not Gardenia Blossoms! The jury is out and I must try it myself.

The "girls" finally SCORED!!!! heheh I went to Michael's got the warmer with the 40% off coupon and then found these pretty blue ramekins with flowers on the side at Marshalls. They were on a clearance shelf and when I first saw them, I only saw a chipped one which was out of the box and then saw the other 3 in the box. They were marked down to $5 until I decided to put the other one back in the box, totally forgot about the box being ripped open and proceded to CRASH the chipped one onto the floor!!!! This nice guy came over and was telling me not to worry as I was picking up the glass and he did it. I explained what happened and then "what the heck" I decided to ask if they would mark down the rest of them. My debate over them in the first place was that one was chipped anyway. He said SURE and came back with the 3 marked down to $3! When I got home, DD was here and DH was not so I told her to pretend she got them for me. Right before she left she and I put on an Academy Award performance of her giving them to me in front of DH. I am an evil addict!!!! ROFL

LOL, Watching, you are such a good sneaky addict! I wish I would have thought to send you a vanilla with the FSO. We are finally emerging from the move and have internet access again. We are in a non-cable, non-DSL area and are on satellite internet. So far it is great, faster than our DSL was at the old house. I have tarts going in two rooms now--Citrus Sage and Coconut Lime Verbena. I need to buy one of the wall mounted warmers for the master bath--the plugs in there are not counter friendly for warmers, the cords would have to travel behind the sinks. I am trying to out-smell the new wood, paint & carpet smell but so far they are winning out--any suggestions for heavy scents to do the job? And...where is everyone??? Is this another Saturday that you people actually go out into the world and mingle? What is this world coming to???

"...where is everyone??? Is this another Saturday that you people actually go out into the world and mingle?" LOL- Cathie! I think the answer is yes! Congratulations on the move, the new house, internet - all of it! How exciting! For some pungent, wood-fighting scents, I highly recommend Margartaville, but I think you might need to have drink fixin's on hand if you try it. I am really liking Day Two of Gardenia Blossoms. This is some sort of a record with me + a floral. Very authentic, nice scent.

Last night I switched from the Red velvet Cake that had all the scent drained from it, and put on a Gardenia Blossoms that had been started at some time in the past. Last night I was sneezing/not pleased but today is it fine, just fine!

Bonza - glad to hear Day Two of GB is a winner! I tried that one once last year, and I remember it being very strong on Day One, then mellowing out quite a bit on Day Two. It sounds like you had the same experience, Sea. I agree it is a nice floral - i think it was the first Alyce floral I found I liked! Cathie - congrats on the new house and getting your internet set up! As far as tarts, I do remember hearing that Southern Vanilla is a great cover-up tart. Coffee Bean is a very strong one, too. Burning Love is another good strong one, but it is very cinnamony - just like candy Red Hots, so for anyone who does not like that smell, that is not a good choice. Cherry Slush is super strong, too (I could only take a 1/4 of a tart of that one), but I honestly didn't care for that smell too long term. I just realized in an earlier post I misspoke - my Vicks Cherry cough drop concoction was 1/2 creamy peppermint+1/2 cherry slush, not cherry vanilla. In any case, it is not a recommended blend. lol

Hey - we're back! Yesterday I warmed Fresh Squeezed Oranges & Sugared Vanilla Glaze (together). Today - Lemon Frosted Cupcakes & Berry Brulee (not together). I guess I've been in a fruit mood.

Yeah, we are back! I made such a nice clever post early today and it went "poof" and of course there is no way I could be as clever again. ROFL
