Aww I’m so sorry you’re sick and can’t smell, that’s terrible! Maraschino Sugar Cookie is my favorite, ooh it’s so delicious and performs so well. King Cake is my fave from the Mardi Gras collection, it’s so rich and yummy. I hope you get your sniffer back and start feeling better soon, you need it!!

Great empties, Melanie, and I am sorry you caught a cold/ flu. It's going around in my area, too. I have been doing a little Christmas scents and doing the wax melt challenge that includes everything from fruity to spicy. I hope you continue to recover and take care.😊💜

I love your tradition! I love Christmas so much!!! Our family tradition is that we host Christmas dinner for literally EVERYONE who needs somewhere to go for the Holidays! It is getting bigger and bigger every year and I love it so much!!! We also open one present the night of Christmas eve and it is always new pajamas - matching of course - for everyone in our house!! And we have a BIG family!

Loved this video! Your family tradition is so special! ❤ I can’t believe Scentsy discontinued Very Merry Cranberry and that we haven’t seen it back in a brick or Scents of the Season collection. It’s a perfect, non-spicy cranberry which I feel is missing in Scentsy’s holiday/catalog lineup! I hope we see it back one day!

Ooooh I love your advent calendar tradition ❤ I’m Irish/english/german but we open gifts on Christmas Eve traditionally. Since my daughter lives in Kansas currently we now open them when she comes home mid December. We also do a white elephant type gift but something one of the 4 of us may want starting with whatever letter we are on for Merry Christmas. $20 random gift. So that’s fun picking a mystery gift too! ❤ we also always have my grandma’s lasagna! 😍 they’ve since passed so I make her recipe.

I think sugarplumberry also is very similar to blue Christmas!! I clubbed it and sweet orange and evergreen!! ❤ I’m so picky with tree because most come off sharp and give me headaches. It was fun seeing all the holiday bars you have ! I loved Christmas cottage wreath! The tree in that was fun with the cinnamon spice! One that doesn’t give me a headache lol! I loved red currant wreath and clubbed it but might not keep it forever.

I got all 5 bricks and I use then in the wax melting challenges.

Hey Mel! I recently went through the same thing with being sick. And I was also upset about not being able to either smell my wax or smell it in the way that I should be smelling it, IYKWIM. I stopped warming it because I felt like I was just wasting it. You're right, it sucked! You got through some smell goods for sure!

5:19 My Berry Bubble Blue Bar is starting to turn colors too. I should start warming it soon but wanted to save it since it was lighter on cold sniff when I first purchased the bar.

Wow, I loved your reviews; thanks for sharing. I’m not sick and I’m going to try mixing a few scents.

Silver Bells is soooo nice in my bedroom.

Wow! The calendar is absolutely beautiful! I could see the detail when you held it up to the camera. Give my compliments to your very talented aunt! Definitely something to cherish!!

Awe love your Christmas tradition!! I am Scottish and Norwegian heritage. Making shortbread every year is definitely a must! Lol My mum basically started a tradition when we were little. She hand stitched us a Christmas Ornament every year and then started doing this for all her grandkids as well. Now that I'm 52 my Tree is full of all her hand stitched Ornaments. I just absolutely love looking at my tree. It brings back so many memories through the years!!

I absolutely love pacific sandlewood!!!! Another really good on is autumn sunrise!!! It is an orange and spice, but the spice is minimal, and it is amazing!!

So awesome thank you for sharing your Christmas tradition with us… nothing beats a family holiday tradition

We have an advent calendar that my husband’s grandmother hand made and it was passed down to us. We now use it with our kids.

Oh that is such a wonderful story about your Danish tradition! That calendar!! Amazing ❤ I love the scents you picked as well - Blue Christmas! I have to go make my must-melt-list now. Less than 3 weeks to go how is this possible lol

Great video! Thanks for sharing 😊

This was so fun!!!! Yay! So sweet

This is so fun!!!!!! Girl, you are amazing! You definitely know your fragrance! I’m so glad to see your thoughts on cold on some of our fragrance!

❤❤❤ Yay! 🎉 This made my night. Thanks so much for playing along! I think you did outstanding on all of the game scents. You have such a talent for picking out scent notes. The way I cheered when a scent got the official Mel Smell stamp of cold sniff approval. Thank you for all you do!

Great empties 😊🥰

I understand I deal with severe anxiety, panic attacks, ptsd and depression. I do take meds and I need them so I don't feel bad about it as they help me.

Hey hey Melanie, love me some Rose Girls her wax last days in my home. 😂 I love Macintosh madness from Jenny. 🍎 It sure I would like coffee and banana either. 🧐 Level up is so so so good I love her speechless as well. ❤ Dang girl you were all about apple on this order. 🍎 Great order. ❤

lol what a fun story! Love that you got a new customer that way!❤

Oh my gosh your Halloween story is the best, so funny!!! I love it. Can’t believe how your house smelled all that far, crazy. 😂 Cranapple Crumble is a fave, will go right back in my club. Hope you enjoy it! I need to try Apple Cinnamon Sticks again.

Great haul. I love swirling snowflakes.

Great haul. I love your Halloween story-scenting the neighborhood. You got me to try Cinnamon Pinecones, and I love it, and my husband is obsessed with it. I got the Whiff box, and I’m glad you told me about the lotion. I am so bad with lotions, but will work on that one next. I don’t know how you have so much self control with the warmers. I have bought so many just in the last month-New Years resolution-no more than two warmers a year 😂. TFS

I also couldn’t remember the Cranapple Crumble from last year but I did have half a bar left and I actually loved it on warm! I will be buying more this season. Your Halloween scent story made me laugh out loud. Clearly you are the neighborhood scent lady 😂 Good for you. Spreading the LOVE I liked your whiff box reactions - we should all avoid spoilers (wish I could) so we can have that genuine surprise 🎉🎉 such a good box! Thanks for sharing

Great haul!! I love cran apple crumble! Are you getting anything from the sale today? I'm interested in the wintry scents bundle but idk if any of them are good. I don't think I've tried any of them.

Thanks for sharing!

So happy you are feeling better… I’ve missed you and always enjoy your cold sniff and warm review

Are you getting the bars from the Sugar Chalet? Whipped Frosting is delicious!! You have to get it.

I ordered two sets, they should arrive tomorrow. But I did add Eggnog to club. already got that and on cold it’s nice but I like spiced Eggnog more and luckily have a brick of that. Hope I don’t get stick from it 😂 It’s frustrating when you can’t buy bars individually I agree! I’m less likely to purchase and have skipped whole collections because of that. Mint to be Merry is delicious! So so good! I’m glad you’re feeling better 😊

Thanks for the note on waiting a bit on Mario Loves the Neurodivergent Mind 🤗

Such a great combined haul! Thank you so much for sharing! I purchased 2 bags of Mario Loves the Neurodivergent Mind last Summer and definitely agree with waiting. I warmed it right away but got a light coconut scent. I enjoyed it tho. For the September RTS I ordered 3 of the same scents you have and am almost finished my bag of A Sweet Princess Party by the Ocean. I smell mostly Strawberry Pound Cake on warm and I really enjoy it. It was great when it was warmer outside and I wanted Spring Bakery. Yesterday, I melted Mario at the Circus and I smell a really nice apple scent on warm. I hope you have a great day!

Great haul!! Lots of bakery goodness. My wish list is growing for the upcoming Pre-order and RTS w/pre-order extras!

Great Haul! I got a lot of the same fall blends from RG. I love Boo’s cozy Halloween party, my favorite from the RTS is Yoshi‘s sleepy Island. Something about lavender and apple together was totally amazing in my bedroom. I used half the bag right off the bat. Which I never do. I’m just getting into Rose girls so I love trying all the new things. I did pick up a bag of tea and cakes, but I haven’t gotten to it yet. Yay! Thanks for sharing.

I have to early rise on the weekdays and I have a couple coffee scents, I didn’t think about popping those in to get my day going! I love everything she makes! Everything is long lasting and throws well 🖤

Great empties! You're the bakery queen haha! Glad to hear that you're making such great progress on your me take health

Love this so much! Thanks for sharing your experience. You are such a bright light. 🙌

You are such a kind-hearted and genuine soul. Btw - only you can talk bout mental health struggles in such an entertaining and light-hearted way (as we know it can be a serious, heavy subject! But you just have the perfect and unique storytelling ability that is so relatable.) Hope that makes sense. 💛🇨🇦💛

Great vendor wax empties and thank you so much for sharing your story. Mental health is so important.

You’ve got me wanting to order from UTC and KAE, loved hearing about your yummy scents! Anxiety is so hard to deal with, I sure hope you are feeling much better soon. 💕

Hey Melanie, leather and bakery oh my that sounds amazing. 😮 I love leather scents. Orange almond scone from Kae’s is amazing I agree. Great job getting thru some vendors that is amazing. 👏👏👏👏 Wow those are some crazy side affects. I am glad that it’s finally working for you, that is so great to hear. 🎉

OK, but how FUN and cute are your nails for the Nightmare Before Christmas?! So great! RG's Mario's Home for the Holiday's is one of my all time favs for the holiday season. I held over a bag from last year and can't wait to start warming it.

Wow. Yeah I was on a medication and I couldn’t do it past a month I was just too sick. That’s awesome you can. Prayers. Thanks for sharing your journey. It’s not easy.

Wishing you all the best on your mental healthy journey Melanie! ❤

Hey Mel ❤ watching now. Can’t wait to see what you got through

Oh Melanie… in my former marriage… I developed cptsd…. I can’t get rid of anxiety. I take medicine. I try not to but sometimes I just have to! ❤ I’ll be anticipating seeing what you think after the 3 months… I’ve gotten anxiety so bad at times I’ve had to stop the car, I started to have an out of body experience on an amusement ride at Disney. I am so glad you shared because I understand this very much! ❤❤❤
