What I've Been Warming & Empties: Week 37 Scentsy & Vendor Wax

[@saraspillers9865]

I love switching out my wax! I use cotton balls.

[@happilyscentedlife]

Great warming!!! ❤

[@melissajohnsonhaight5036]

You got through lots of nice things! I agree, the BBW gel is less drying than the foaming hand soap. I also prefer to be cold vs too hot and enjoy sweaters. 😊

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

Me too!

[@jrosealmendras88]

Beautiful

[@tammytolbert5499]

Hello 👋🏻 Nice scents Martha! ❤

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

Hi Tammy! Thank you

[@LeticiaWorboys]

Wonderful warming. I like to turn my warmers off and when the wax cools I lift and pinch it out. I like playing with it. 😂😂😂 I also use cotton clean ups or a half paper towel to soak up the wax if I'm impatient.

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

@@LeticiaWorboys yes, I love being able to peel my Scentsy out but that method doesn’t work with my vendor wax. Although I heard it does with KAEs. I need to try that and see if it works. When I’m impatient I’ll do the same and just soak it up like you do.

Hi Martha!

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

Hey Travis! Thanks for popping by

[@XizhousScentStudio]

It's so funny when you walk by someone in public and recognize the bbw scent 😅

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

😁

[@Refreshandinspire]

Oh I love those ❤❤❤😍😍👌🩵🩵🩵

[@ambercombs3543]

I did go in on the s&s pre order only because I've never ordered from her yet so I'm pretty excited and I got a good variety too

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I'm so excited for you. I love her wax so much. It was a tough choice but now I get to enjoy the wax I purchased from S&S last year. I hope you love her wax as much as I do.

[@ambercombs3543]

@@Martha_FragranceCorner I've heard nothing but great things. I'm on a very low buy now and I'm going to enjoy all my stash too for a while 🥰

[@taratattooed]

Happy Monday, Martha ☕️ great warming! Call Ripley’s, because I did not do second & spruce’s pre-order. Using what I have. Over summer … ready for Hurricane season to be over. Have a fabulous day 🫶🏻

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I hope the weather hasn't been too too bad. Yes, I skipped S&S. I will have serious FOMO when the hauls start popping up, but I'm glad I did it. This way I can truly enjoy what I have and I feel better about making a dent in my stash

[@ScentedWithLee]

I always clean out with cotton balls as they then make great fire lighters so even less waste :)

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I miss having a fireplace. That is such a great idea!

[@angelasmeltingmoments3334]

Great warming week. Im still trying to work on more Summer while its so hot out.

[@thefragrancefairy]

I let the wax go until I can’t smell it anymore. I do hot pour and cotton calls just depends on the day. 😂 Yes I went in for the preorder with second and spruce. Good job for holding off. 👏👏👏 I know that was a hard decision. I melted Oregon Autumn I really enjoy this scent. It gave me fresh autumn vibes. 🍁 I am working on putting a dent in my Rose Girls as well, I have so so so much. Yeah free shipping used to get me, but I am not going down that rabbit hole again. 😂 great empties Martha.

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

@@thefragrancefairy thanks Aubrey. I’m making a dent one wax melt at a time. 😆 Although I’ll have FOMO when I start to see the haul videos, I feel really good about skipping this preorder. It gives me some breathing room to enjoy what I have.

[@thefragrancefairy]

@@Martha_FragranceCorner I just started my no buy I am going to make it official and announce on my channel next week to keep me accountable. I need to do the same make room and breathe again. ❤️

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

You are going hard core with a no buy. That's fantastic. I'm not on a no buy but I've skipped many preorders that normally I woudn't have skipped. Once it passes it actually feel good. We all have plenty of wax. Good for you! You can do it!

[@thefragrancefairy]

@@Martha_FragranceCorner yeah I struggle right before the preorders open and after they close I am okay with my decision. It will feel really good when I am no longer overwhelmed with my collection and I just need to keep reminding myself of that. We got this. 💪🏻

[@ambercombs3543]

I change mine out every morning and then again sometimes in the evening too. I mostly use the hot pour method 😅

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I'm pretty similar. Most days twice a day but it also depends on the scent.

[@maggiejl99]

yes, leaves and beach nights together is great. i just did a blend this week of the two bc of this blend from Travis.

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

Yes! I love it

[@misszaraannplans5909]

I usually only change my wax midday if I am home for most of the day and cannot smell it anymore. Otherwise I just change it in the mornings. I use wax warmer liners because they make it so easy to change wax!

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I had been using parchment paper baking cup liners and those were nice, but I need to buy more.

[@StacysSagas]

Great melting! When I’m reviewing a scent I let it go until it dies its scent death ☠️ or lasts for 3-5 days. When Im melting there are some scents I like for the first few hours and then tire of so I change those out. I also will change wax as my mood changes but I have strategies in place to keep wax that still has life in it. 😂 also, I’m beginning to understand I may be a seasonal melter who just never lets go of fall and my favorites. 😂

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I love Fall and Winter but can't see myself warming pumpkin in July...maybe winter scents. Peppermint scents I could do all year round. You are a good reviewing, keeping a scent in until it's final days.

[@Dazzling_scents_with_chris]

Love seeing what you warmed! You got through a lot in a week, NICE! I only to vanilla walnut in my bedroom because I love it and find it to be such a beautiful bedroom scent! I do both hot pour and cotton balls, depends on my mood lol. I did warm the soul too, OMG it was beautiful! I can't wait to warm the deer camp that you sent me. You are right, it is such a unique scent! Next time she offers it I'm definitely going to grab it, as long as it performs for me. Great warming week bestie! 💜💜

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I hope it performs for you. Deer Camp performs really well for me

[@susanfitzpatrick3369]

Thanks Martha for keeping me company while I put out my Fall warmers. Hope you have a great week!

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

Hey Susan. I hope you have a great week as well!

[@XizhousScentStudio]

I love that smell good shop apple ❤️ I finished scarlet witch recently too

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I have to say she has a good apple oil

[@CourtneysScentSociety]

I hot dump into my silicone cupcake liners or aluminum egg tart tins and it makes life so much easier. Great melting week Martha! I will definitely be grabbing a brittle of Warm the Soul in the next preorder 😊

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I feel like I'm going through so many cotton balls. I should hot dump more often but then I'm using up paper towels to wipe them clean🤷🏻‍♀️

[@CourtneysScentSociety]

@@Martha_FragranceCorner when I got dumped I normally use one cotton ball for 2-3 warmers to wipe them out

[@JustJenny2023]

Great warm review, Martha! And I’m so proud of you for skipping the S&S preorder. You are doing great! We had a little warm up here, so I’m switching between summer scents and fall scents. I’m not quite ready for full blown fall. 😅

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

@@JustJenny2023 I’m loving the weather right now. I don’t need a sweater yet but it’s not hot either. Just perfect. I may slip in a summer scent or two next week as we slip back into Summer weather early next week. Happy melting!

[@bethferrington3247]

Usually change out scent in open area/ kitchen daily. However last week I had Fall Feelin going all week in living room, it lasted! Of course I only turned the warmers on when I got home from work. I hot dump, cotton ball and also do the pinch up method which is my favorite (works well for Scentsy). Happy Monday and great empties! 😊

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I love Scentsy wax for that reason. I just take my little spatula and lift up.

[@dcordero5950]

Good morning! We have a nice cool week here in SoCal so I’m excited! Hopefully it’ll help all the fires we have right now. I hot pour my wax into the trash. I’ve always done that since I started melting in 2016. It’s just quicker and easier for me.

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I hot pour mine in a plastic take out soup container. I don't hot pour always, it just depends on where I am and if the container is nearby. Your trash must smell pretty good!

[@searphhoney]

Excellent job sticking to your wax goals. I ordered from Second & Spruce and skipped Teddy Bees.

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

Nice! I did the opposite.😁 I probably should've skipped Teddy Bee's but I couldn't Now I need to start warming what I have.

[@XizhousScentStudio]

I have trouble distinguishing different mints. I like them all 😂

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I do too but if I had to rank them spearmint is at the bottom😁

[@summertofall]

Your home must smell amazing with all the wax you melted through. I’ve been melting a chopped up BBW Cranberry Woods candle in the morning and Yankee Autumn Wreath wax melts in the evening…they are both so beautiful for fall, IMO. I don’t have any vendor wax leftover since I’m not buying any this year, so I don’t mind going through the steps to chop up favorite BBW candles (I don’t like the burn quality) which work great as melts and I prefer the fragrances to anything vendor I tried. I could just crock them, but I like spacing out the melting rather than all at once.🍎

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I should probably chop up some of my candles, especially the ones I've had for a few years now. I do like to light one for the ambiance every once in a while but I agree that they do not burn as well.

[@angelasmeltingmoments3334]

Of course Hayden Rowe announced a RTS will be coming at somd point this year. Depends on scent and financial cause I do still have quite a bit of her wax Im working through. Mostly souffles but a few loaves.

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I've only tried a wax or two from Hayden Rowe. I thought she stopped doing wax melts and decided to stick with just candles?

[@angelasmeltingmoments3334]

@@Martha_FragranceCorner we all missed her and she missed us too and while she will mainly be doing candles when she can she will be doing an RTS.

[@XizhousScentStudio]

I change my wax when I can't smell it. But only if I'm gonna be in that room /area. I previously only used cotton balls but now for upstairs I have these metal tins that I use to exchange wax. I cannot hot pour cuz the warmer gets way too hot and burns my fingers. When I switch out the metal tins I wear a glove 😅

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I'm using so many cotton balls that I'm starting to hot pour more and more.

[@PICCNINJA]

I use silicone liners so I can switch out scents and just pop it out when it cools.

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

The only thing I didn't like about the silicone ones is that they flake. I don't know why. I have metal ones I use on my hot plates and if I have the parchment paper baking cups, I will use those with my Scentsy warmers. I mix it up, depending on level of effort, what I have handy or if I remember to put it in a cup😁

[@PICCNINJA]

@@Martha_FragranceCorner they stop flaking after a while. Not sure what that's from either 🤷

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

@@PICCNINJA good to know. Thanks

[@angelasmeltingmoments3334]

I am starting a very long no buy as of Next Month. Possibly November but I really need to start it asap.

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I'm on a no buy for the next few weeks. I feel good about it, actually. I'm enjoying what I have and see progress with my stash and storage area

[@angelasmeltingmoments3334]

@@Martha_FragranceCorner I mean not just a few weeks. I mean a long time. I have to continue to melt at least 70 a month and not bring more in and if I do it will have to be for a good reason, not much and have to be on one longer. I'd like to do a year no buy honestly.

[@angelasmeltingmoments3334]

Never ordered Second and Spruce and missed SB RTS yesterday and when I looked all Lavender cream puffs and Lavender and milk and cookies were gone. Oh well.

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

So sorry you missed SB yesterday. Her lavender is beautiful

[@hannahhaddad9565]

I didn't club vanilla walnut and kiind of regret it. I get toasted vanilla and pistachio from bbw now if I want a toasty/nutty vanilla. It's different- pistachio instead of walnut- but is kind of the same vibe. If bbw follows the same schedule as last year then it should be coming back pretty soon!

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

Toasted vanilla and pistachio sounds really nice. I try to avoid BBW because I'll be tempted to walk out of there with the big bag of candles😁

[@hannahhaddad9565]

​@@Martha_FragranceCorner Girl just go in and check/make note of what you like and then order it online to pick up in store whenever they go on sale... Everyone kind of waits for the $9 sale but a LOT of the time they're maybe $12-14 and then if you throw a 20% coupon on there then it's basically the same price without all the craziness of the sale-time visit. They do change inventory a lot, but not so often that you can't get an idea of what you want before it's gone! I like their pumpkin bonfire one too for this time of year- kind of clovey/smokey and ages well-. I just pop some wax out to melt...don't burn them.

[@ElysianStar]

I hot pour usually. I need to try the cotton ball method again because it seems like it’d be neater. I think I wasn’t using a good brand last time because the cotton barely absorbed the wax. What brand do you (or anyone that wants to answer 🙂) use?

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I have been using Swisspers but I feel they are not as good as they used to be. I need to try the jumbo ones from Target. I typically have to use three cotton balls ay once to soak up one or two warmers (depends on the amount of wax)

[@ElysianStar]

@@Martha_FragranceCorner I’ll check out the ones from Target. The ones I tried were from Walmart. Thanks!! 😊

[@angelasmeltingmoments3334]

I am 50/50 with cotton balls and hot pour.

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I'm about the same

[@angelasmeltingmoments3334]

I never tried any Second and Spruce.

When you have space in your collection, I highly recommend S&S, especially if you love bakery.
