June Home Fragrance Empties: Let's dive through my wax trash!

[@anna121ist]

Same! I’m so proud of my slow but steady progress. In the past 16 months I’ve only brought in 4 wax bars. & I’ve been steadily using waxes & candles, we can do

[@MrKongsMom]

Yay!!! I am so proud of you Anna!!!!

[@boatscandleco]

Same … I’ve been trying to use everything I obsess over. Shoes purses perfumes sunglasses. I need to do a yard sale lol.

[@boatscandleco]

Did I mention pens and markers. I have an odd obsession for stationary 🤣

[@ReillyWilde]

@@boatscandlecoYou’re my long lost twin! 🤭

[@anna121ist]

I have a crazy BBW collection on top of my candles & wax. I’m on a mission use it up with so many things

[@amberr6589]

My burning/melting this month was abysmal. I did get through one bar of pink haze from Scentsy and started melting a lemon vanilla candle under my lamp. During our move it was insane how much stuff we got rid of-totally empathize with the need to get rid of clutter for overall mental health. It’s almost July, which means it’s one month closer to Fall!!!! ❤😉

[@MrKongsMom]

Oh Pink Haze!!!! Ugh so good.

[@lisasmith7]

You were strong to not shop SAS. I got 30+ candles. Have a wonderful weekend ❌️ ⭕️

[@MrKongsMom]

Oh they got you lol. No shade because honestly if I stepped in store... I would have faltered. But my resolve is strong this time haha!

[@D-bow288]

I’ve purchased many Kringle and finding substantial throws are hard to find in this line. Most are light to medium throw. I’m sure that is sufficient for most buyers but I love strong 💪 scent notes Thank you for sharing and honest reviews

[@MrKongsMom]

Thanks for taking the time to watch!

Ulta is having a summer sale and all Vacation products are on sale June 30th - July 6th! 30% off!

I feel like a hoarder of candles, but I'm already making the change of not buying any for a while. I'll be burning two candles at once aka pairing to get my collection down. I need 600 candles like Angie aka Got Candles? channel has. I would be in heaven for sure. Go Melanie! I used to burn three candles at a time back in 2018 but stopped that so I can enjoy each scent individually. BBW Palo Santo is amazingly strong here in the bedroom and it's paired with the weak Yankee classic candle Mediterranean Breeze which will be done this week. When those are done, I'll pair Yankee's Beach Walk with BBW Blue Icelandic Waters, then when this is done, I'll burn my 4th of July candle, BBW Firecracker Pop. Nice wax trash. I think Homeworx should make a scent called Cat Pee lol. BBW should have one called Body Odor. Goose Creek should have two called Soot and Unpopular. Yankee should have one called Shouldn't Exist. Woodwick should have one called Oh, the creativity. BBW has 27 candles online and most in store that I want to get plus at least 18 foaming hand soaps to get lol. This will be a slow-buy. Happy burning.

[@MrKongsMom]

Collecting candles can be so fun. Having that variety is wonderful if you crave change. I just think I am dealing with my brain going through so many changes right now and I am really feeling ready for some personal life changes in some way.

[@betsybabf748]

I crock Homeworx candles by freezing them, popping out the wax, roughly chopping it and putting it into an empty jar which fits my crock. My least favorite Homeworx was Green Matcha Tea. It smelled like a gas leak to me, which caused me a few panicked moments until I realized it was the candle. Normally I love all of Harry's scents. Goose Creek got rid of French Autumn years back, and it's one of my favorite scents. They finally brought it back last fall in a 3 wick. I grabbed a few, but the one I burned was very light, not at all how it used to be. I thought it would be better in the 3 wick so was bummed.

[@MrKongsMom]

That's a great idea Betsy. Thankfully I never picked up the Green Matcha Tea. A gas leak is not the vibe lol.

[@djgigabit-]

Based on your earlier recommendations of the Vacation candle, I ended up getting it on my last Ulta order. It's great! It just smells like summer if you were a pool kid. Can't wait to burn it, it's just been too warm to burn it so far.

[@MrKongsMom]

LOVE it!

[@exploringscentea]

I take my wicks out and repourpose the wicks for fire starters. I take them out so I am not tempted to

[@wandatennyson9956]

Finished bbw sugared lemon zest, rasberey mimosa, homeworx fresh cotton cloud, sun kissed lemon. Slow month for me it was just to hot!

[@MrKongsMom]

With the heat it is a lot harder to burn. Totally agree!

[@kellylattimore5234]

So with my home fragrance, I am a bakery/like fruity person. So I bought a Danberry shortbread because well it’s bakery, my mom hates it!!! She told me it smelled like dirty feet, but I’m over here like oh my gosh, I love it.

[@MrKongsMom]

Haha! Oh no! It's such a great gourmand!

[@andreaharvey5077]

Hi Melanie. Question for you. I have a candle lamp that I bought from Amazon and I have noticed that the bulb goes out within a week. I purchased more bulbs because I missed the return window from Amazon. Do I have a dud or is that normal for candle lamps? I tried to add this comment to your weekly candle video, but I could not comment, YT is so weird at times!

[@MrKongsMom]

Which lamp did you buy? They should not be going out within a week!!!! I very infrequently change the bulb in my office lamp and that one is on for VERY long periods of time. Something must be wrong with the lamp.
