I just broke down and melted 1/2 of a Hawaiian Ginger tart. It's really very lovely! I don't smell apple yet but can smell the pineapple and watermelon. I'm going to save the others until the 3-week cure time is up though. This one's a winner!

Oh boy, Holly - I can't wait to try my sample! The cold sniff is heavenly.

I'm too lazy to go check SJ, but is Hawaiian Ginger a special scent, one of the three Alyce released recently? And did it already sell out?

Thank you for your expert knowledge!

Just a word of caution..I don't know if any of you have had a problem with certain tarts and your furbabies? Yesterday and today I have been burning a Beach Baby tart. And for whatever reason, Baby is bound and determined to get to that thing! She has never done this before with any of the other scents. I don't know if you have had problems like this or not but thought I would post it just in case.

Thanks, Holly!

I am grateful my kits don't have much interest in tarts & warmers. Good luck, Baby!

Mine have ignored the tarts so far. Maybe she thinks it is named for her?

Bonza:

Julip - I think you have a sample of everything in your stash.



I consulted the spreadsheet, and I do not have a Lavender Apples & Oak! I am just as shocked as you must be. lmao.

Baby - my furbabies have not shown any interest in the tarts or warmers either - hopefully Babycat will lose interest soon.

Tabby - welcome to the wonderful world of SJ tarts!

Yippee, Tabby, glad you are liking the tarts!

I'm still going strong with the Lavender Apples & Oak--a really nice blend of scents.

I am re-introducing Coconut Milk & Peaches to one of my warmers. I had ordered a dozen with my first order (lesson learned--don't order a dozen until you know you like it!) and wasn't very happy with the scent. I know that I tried it before it was fully cured, but didn't know how much difference it would make. I warmed another today and it was much better now that it is 60 days old. It's still one I will probably not order again but I won't be tempted to toss the whole bag now.

I also was not too impressed with Judy's Japanese Pear & Ginsing, but it is only 10 days cured at this point. I like other pear scents, loved the Pear Glace sample I got from Sea, but the JJPG didn't wow me like I thought it would. I'll put them away for awhile but at least I know who to send them to if I give up on them after a longer cure time (cough, cough, Sea...) :-)

I also tried a Frosted Lemon Cupcake sample this weekend and it smelled like Lemon Pledge to me. Not saying Lemon Pledge is a bad odor but it's nothing like cupcakes, lol. I may try my own mix with TPs of Lemon Drop and Cake Batter.

Oh, Tabby, you can cut the tarts in half and mix the scents if you want to try that (I meant to put that on the instruction sheet.) A great mix is 1/2 Waffle Cone and 1/2 Strawberry Preserves. I must warn you it will make you hungry for strawberry waffles so you might want to have some toaster eggos and strawberry jam or preserves on hand.

I think I'm glad I've decided to do the tarty part thing for a while. Although, I'm being very good and haven't warmed any of the ones I just got.

I also discovered that the Yankee Candle tarts I have fit just perfectly in the sili-cup. And I have a TON of YC tarts. The electric candle warmer is awesome, and so I'm gonna start to use some of the YC tarts, just so I can use 'em up! (Seriously, I have about 2 doz of the danged things! :-))

HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE!!!

Over the weekend, I did order some sample soy tarts from an ebayer that had 100% feedback and buyers seemed to really like them. You get 3 1oz samples of the scent of your choice for $.060 for 3. I'm trying 5 different scents, so I'll let you know. Soyful has a lot more scents, but if I like the ebayer's, I will probably buy from both places. More to follow when I receive them both.

Sounds like a nice sampler you got there Crzndeb. I'm amazed you have your order already--didn't you just place it a couple of days ago?

Woo hoo, Crz! That is the beauty of just ordering a sampler - they are all ready to go once payment is received since Alyce makes up a few packs which each pour.

You got a great selection! Out of those, my personal faves are: Lisa's Raspberry Zinger, Berry Brulee, Vanilla Hazelnut Swirl, White Choc Mac Nut, Vaniglia del Madagascar, Strawberry Preserves, Cinnamon Sticks. lmao. I guess it would have been easier to list the others.

I say go for it and cut into one, if you haven't already. Hope you enjoy them, and report back which one you tried!

Yup, paid for it on Friday, Holly...she sent them 2 day priority.

Gee Julip, maybe I should have just forwarded my sample pack to you....but I'm sure you have plenty of your faves.
I am burning half of the Raspberry Zinger right now....yum yum, I want to eat it.

Crz - that is a great sampler you received!

Some are at the very top of my hit parade: Berry Brulee, Vanilla Hazelnut Swirl, Vaniglia del Madagascar - best of the best. Others in your bag are also wonderful: Lisa's Raspberry Zinger, White Choc Mac Nut. Super sampler!

LOL Crz - I never refuse an SJ tart!

You made a great first choice - that one is delicious! That really is a fab sampler - almost like it was made directly from a few of our orders - Bonza, Jinksy, Sea, Joely?

Funny, but I think I'm glad I didn't also order a sampler. I'd have ended up with all fruits! LOL! (And nope, none of the ones I ordered were in her sampler!)

That IS a nice selection!!

Costa, you are right, probably best to explore scents that sound great to you! Still, some might surprise you!
