Team bring back the large cotton clean-ups! I really like BRV Sangria. And I feel the same about blooming marvelous. It’s so good but just so very light. Great empties! 🎉

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Sounds like we’re in agreement x3

[@heidipirouettes]

So excited to warm black raspberry Sangria and woods 💜

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Hope you like them

[@ashleybusch831]

Love the garth brooks story my daughter is a survivor of shaken baby, his daughter Ally Colliene heard of my daughters story and reached out and dedicated to her, my youngest son is named Brooks

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Wow. So nice of them

[@rriiley]

The large size cotton clean ups performed so much better. I usually put the recommended cubes of wax as indicated on the warmer dish and if I do, I need to use minimum 2 cotton clean ups per each full size warmer. You go through them a lot quicker. Scentsy is getting expensive and nowadays it might be worth just picking up a few huge bags of cottonballs from dollarama at this point.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I tend to just use cotton for non Scentsy wax. I try to take advantage of Scentsys consistency by letting it cool down and scooping it out with my fingers once it’s pliable

[@meltingwithmallory]

Same thing with the Garth Brooks concert happened to my sisters and I! We moved from the nose-bleeds to the 3rd row. So great!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Hahaha that’s awesome!!

[@betsybabf748]

I love Blue. I remember putting it in my teen sons' bedroom, and like magic they started cleaning their rooms without even being told. I want that scent back. It is like magic. So mad I didn't club it. Pink Cotton is a forever club scent for me.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I think I bought 10 Blue bars in a flash sale a while back and had 2 before that, and this is the first one I ever melted from my hoarded wax. It’s so good.

[@jmywu]

Your Garth Brooks story put a giggle in my day. So good and funny!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I should look for the photo

[@ambersmadaboutmelts]

What a fun memory about the Garth Brooks concert. That’s awesome that you all got to sit in the front row.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I was happy, but more so excited for my cousin

[@cathrynking]

I’m hoping Scentsy will listen to us and bring back the large cotton clean ups and also keep the small ones. The small ones are a waste of money for me.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes I agree

[@courtneymarie8728]

Me & my hubby loooooove concerts! We live in Colorado only 15 mins away from Red Rocks & we always pay big bucks now to get basically front row seats (rows 2-3 are basically front row) at Red Rocks for our favorite bands! ❤ we only have a couple date nights a year now that we have kids but those are always Red Rocks concerts!!! 🥰😎🥳

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Sounds like a nice tradition to keep going

[@happilyscentedhomes]

I really wish we were allowed to have always get my pod perk in club because I would totally club 4 pods of blooming marvelous every 3 months because the performance that those pods gave me in my house in my car and in my office was top-notch possibly one of my top 5 strongest pods ever 1:49

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I think I’ve got the pods in my upcoming June 1st order

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Shut Eye is so beautiful! What I wouldn't give to have that back. We need to see more collection bars up for voting! You always remind me to use my diffuser when you show oil empties. It's on everyday because it's pretty but I'm terrible at diffusing 😄 I still have that whole summer collection oil set from 2021 so I paused your video to go put Sandal Season in. It's floral so I don't really like it and need to get through it. You're cute, you know I have a bar of Toffee Butter Crunch waiting in the wings whenever you need it 😘

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

When no one is home I turn off warmers, so that’s a couple days a week during the school year typically. Those are the days I diffuse so at least I come home to a bit of scent. So you likely won’t see any oil empties until September from me since Erica finished university late April and she’s home often.

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes I shut my warmers off when I'm not home too. I remember you mentioning diffusing when you aren't home a couple of years back and started to do the same and then it fell by the wayside. I really need to remember to diffuse, thanks again for the reminder! 😊

[@TheGatheringWithin]

I find that scent circles don't last, rooms sprays leave a residue on everything. I love the wax though. thanks for the review

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes, thankfully the room sprays have just been reformulated to water based so the oil residue should be gone

[@juliedurnan2364]

I 100% get the Flintstones Vitamins vibe with Sunshine Mango. I got that with Chili Mango too from a few years back. I get that on cold even. I pick up something like it too in Street Parade too. Womp Woooomp....

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Traumatized from our youth

[@rriiley]

I get that vibe also from the counter cleanup in sunkissed citrus 😅

[@allisamazingscents7408]

Yet to hear anyone say anything positive about the new cotton clean ups and I'm right there with them! I miss Pillow Time, loved the blue tansy note in there. Your Garth Brooks story made me giggle. Thanks for sharing!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Now that you mention it I’ve not heard any positives either!

[@kara5219-Krose_8]

Many are smelling that vitamin note in Chamomile Vanilla too! I could smell it in my sample, but as it’s sat, I don’t smell it as much. I had Tangerine Sugarcane hand soap, but didn’t love it. I mixed it with a bottle of Mrs Meyers Daisy and LOVED it!!! As for cotton clean ups, I never really used them so I don’t have a preference. My opinion is that they should offer both sizes because they’re just too tiny for large warmers. Super fun empties and stories. It’s not rambling, it’s fun conversation 💛

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I’ll keep telling myself that (about the rambling)

[@karencarvell114]

Thanks Patricia! I have Blooming Marvelous in the pods and it performs well! I miss the full size cotton clean ups - I got one package and I don't think I would get another.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I have the pods on my “to buy” list

[@CharitySRose]

I was listening while I cut Charlie’s hair. The Garth story. Lol. That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing. I hope you finally got to the gym. I love a good workout.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I rambled a lot today. Maybe I was lonely 🤣

[@leesasscentsyandmore3580]

Sleep Happy is my favorite from that collection and it’s so funny…when you started to say it smells like…I said Palmolive dish soap at the same time! To me it always reminds me of that!!!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

It’s odd having the room smell like Palmolive

[@pamelawalters8337]

I love how you date your bars. I’m a bit of a wax “collector “ and wish I had done that. I’m working on doing my best to warm the ones I believe I’ve had longest first.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I just started dating in Jan 2022. The others before that I did guesses from my purchase history

[@scents-ationalfunwithangie1992]

Oh Patricia I feel the exact same about you!!! I know we would hit it off in person for sure and hopefully someday we will get to!! If you are ever in the DC area please please let me know!!! I would love to meet you in person!!!❤

[@scents-ationalfunwithangie1992]

Oh and the Garth Brooks story made me LOL on my commute this morning!! A good friend of mine knows their family well (they live in Nashville) and apparently Garth is a really great guy!!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Please don’t let Garth know somewhere I have a close up pic of his ummmm … manly area

[@scents-ationalfunwithangie1992]

@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes it will be our little secret!! Lol!!

[@lindah_home_and_scents]

I warmed the last of my Chamomile Vanilla yesterday & I smelled a ‘chewable vitamins’ note in that bar too. Not a fan. I hoard my favourites & getting them quarterly doesn’t help. I love Pink Haze it’s a club bar for me. I refuse to buy the small cotton cleanups. I use to treat myself to the larger ones using them to clean up my living room warmers but now I’m sticking to the soft scoop method or cotton balls. I’m not sure if they have Dollarama stores in Nova Scotia but that’s where I get mine. The cotton balls are large & they’re only $1.25 a bag. Not sure what Scentsy was thinking. I love watching “Scents-actional Fun” Angie too! She seems so genuine & listening to her is relaxing.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes I do buy the Dollarama cotton balls. I use them for vendor wax more so than Scentsy

[@HappyHomeScent]

Great empties - I will try the Bloomin pods! So weird to me how some pods smell nothing like their matching wax. I liked Jammin Jubilee much more than Berry Sweet. Berry isn’t my favorite scent in general but JJ did pair well with some Blueberry Cheesecake, esp on day 2 it was nice. I can’t do the cool down method bc I get busy every time and forget to go back within the window of “pliability” lol - new word! Love the Garth story - that’s one to tell the grandkids 😊

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I have to set a timer on my phone for the cool down method

[@daniellejohnson9684]

I prefer the full size. I probably won’t repurchase them. I will just buy cotton balls if I need too. I normally do the cool down method with my wax though. Great empties! I love Blue as well. I kicked it out of my club and chose Atlantic Air.. had to make some tough cuts 😂

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes the cool down method is my preferred way to change Scentsy wax too. It’s got that built in feature of being the perfect consistency so I figure best to take advantage.

[@brighthousescents8987]

Great empties! glad I’m not the only one who got the Flinstone Vitamins smell. I’m with you on cotton cleanups. I don’t. Bother with them anymore.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

They must be using that oil in some scents because I also get vitamin undertone in Violets turning Violet and Chamomile & Vanilla (on cold anyways)

[@MaryBierwagen-oo8nl]

I had a gut feeling that the new cotton cleanups would be a bust. Because I loved the performance of the original size, I went a little coo-coo and kept ordering them thru club before they got dropped like a hot potato. I think I ended up with about 25 packages and I'm super happy about it!! I'll use my Dollar General super jumbo cotton balls over the small cleanups.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

25 packages must take up a fair bit of space! You go girl!!! 🤣🤣

[@JourneyingwithLaura]

When the price for the large size cotton clean ups jumped up, I only got them with party rewards. Same with these small ones - if there is nothing else I want I will get some with rewards. I think cotton balls do just as well and, to me, are more useful than the small clean-ups.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes , sounds like me

[@desireeasselinpena]

I haven’t purchased cotton cleanups in quite awhile. I prefer the larger sized version. I feel like you’re my friend too lol i mean all my kids do know who you are and at least a little about your family.. 🤗

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Of course! It’s amazing how connected we all are over our love of wax.

[@mini.moments.canada]

I agree BRW is like a grandchild to Ghostly Greetings. Which I happen to love 😁💞

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Good alternative for those missing GG. Also, since the Black Raspberry version is more mild in nature maybe it would have a bigger melting season.

[@BTTF-fb7oz]

The Black Raspberry Vanilla Woods had a strange note in it. I tried to ignore it and put a cube in. I had to take it out😬

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes many have found that note. Luckily I did not get that, but in general not a Patricia kind of scent

[@debbieneville7146]

I like the small cotton clean ups for mini warmers, however, I do think the original ones are better for.medium sized warmers. I am now using cotton balls a lot cheaper. I wish I had clubbed Arctic Kiss it is a strong all round scent for me.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Hopefully Arctic kiss sticks around a long time / returns each year

[@eddieubert-independentscen6105]

Bring Back the full size Clean Ups! I don't use mini warmers.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

BBMB voting should have FULL SIZE COTTON CLEAN UPS!

[@MelindaSteve13]

First thumbs up 👍🏻 ❤! I love your videos! 🤩

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

You have fast fingers! I appreciate the support so much

[@heidipirouettes]

I did not like sea breeze on cold at all! It reminded me of a gas station air freshener on cold 😣But now that you said that it might be a cyclamen similar to luxe vanilla I’ll definitely be warming it to see if it changes from what I get on cold. 🤞🏼

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I’m guessing that’s the similar note. I really am not sure of what Cyclamen smells like but on warm I get some Luxe Vanilla in there

[@marlenellewellyn9987]

I got a pack of the mini cotton clean ups half priced in my club to try, and won’t be getting them anymore. I was able to get the full sized ones to work in my mini warmers no problem and still clean out 4 warmers. Now I can only get 2 mini warmers, and hot dump the other 2 dishes. Please bring back the full sized ones!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Yes - why can’t we have the large back??

[@saraspillers9865]

I love Angie!

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

She’s a gem

[@theresagraham2581]

I use cotton balls I buy from the store. I have not tried the smaller scentsy ones. I don’t care for the large ones. I felt like I wasted half of it because they were too big for a lot of the times I needed to use it. Then the wax would harden and I couldn’t use it. I got so used to cotton balls from the store that I use them instead 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

With the large ones if there’s still lots of room to soak up more wax just put it aside, let it harden. The next time you need it peel off the holding tab and use that side to absorb another warmer. (Just a tip - Assuming you have any left)

[@braddlepaddle6208]

Thanks for the video Patricia. I bought a brick of Sunset Sky & Strawberry in our R3 summer bricks collection last year as I liked the sound of the scent description. Like you say it is a somewhat more body care scent and less sweet and fruity so I am regretting that purchase now.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

I didn’t realize it was a scent for R3! How did people find it? Did it sell well?

[@braddlepaddle6208]

I think it was an experiment to see if summery bricks would be more popular than the traditional Christmas spice and tree scents. I think they sold well enough but some people would have preferred the Christmas tree shaped packaging! There is an R3 video on the bricks here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKi7p5SwbbqWhLcsi=fEHUDZvQ_pBVa0oj

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Also there was Tropical Coconut Nectar! I watch her videos too but never made the connection

[@lauraleenichols6013]

I'm not a fan of the smaller cotton clean-ups. It would be nice if they would offer both sizes.

[@PatriciaG-NosetoToes]

Agree 100%

[@michellecoish3647]

Thanks Patricia! I’ve put black tie in my affair. I didn’t like sunshine mango. Maybe I got the Flinstone vitamin scent, too. I can’t remember what I didn’t like about it. I’m excited to pick up Jammin Jubilee

[@patricedalling9846]

I personally don't buy the cotton clean ups. With how expensive the world is I have to narrow down what to spend my play money on and cotton clean ups don't make the cut lol.
