B: Bourbon, Vanilla, Amber
Pour Date: 10/15/2024
My home is an 1800 square foot, single story house that was built in 2004. It is a typical, early 2000's American style home with an open concept living room and kitchen with more closed concept bedrooms. The ceiling height in the living room is approximately 20 feet high and it is the largest room in the house. The bedroom and kitchen ceiling height is approximately 9 feet.
I reside in Arizona, which is a hot and dry climate (most of the time). Winters are considered mild in comparison to other parts of the northern U.S. I am currently running my air conditioning and ceiling fans around the clock and will likely be doing so until early October.
Please take all of these factors into account when you hear my opinion about how well a candle performs in the area of strength and throw.

    Hi Katie. I'm late catching up on videos, but this was fun to watch. I love to hear what other people like and dislike. I'm sure I am in the minority, but one candle that I absolutely cannot stomach is jelly donut. Something about it doesn't hit my nose right, so I know exactly what you mean when you say that. To me it smells like dirty socks and I just can't. One candle you had on your list that I don't mind is jelly bean jubilee, but I enjoy the smell of licorice in home fragrance. Happy 2025!

    Hi Katie, thanks for doing this video. Over the holiday season, I found myself burning several candles in another room just to "get rid" of them. They were candles I just felt "meh" about, but didn't have anyone to give them away to. Those in my circle of family/friends are not really into home fragrance that much, in fact some think it's unhealthy to be "breathing that in" (but that's another topic!) Have you ever thrown away candles you don't really like that you can't gift or re-home? It's not something I want to do b/c it seems wasteful, but at the same time I dislike burning a candle I'm not crazy about just to get rid of it. I also don't want to sell a partially burned candle on eBay or Mercari, seems tacky! So I don't know, maybe I'll just leave my "meh" candles in a box by a bus stop! 🤔😄

      I will usually bring any candles that my friends don’t want to church & set them in the lobby OR I just put them in a box & take them to my local thrift store. If I don’t get around to doing that, I just hate burn them on my back porch. 😂

I have dwindled well over 150 candles this past year. I, too, burn a couple candles at a time and have used my crocks as well. Today I put a finished Slatkin & Co Frosted Cranberry in the recycle bin IT WAS FROM 2011!!!! I could not believe I had one that old in my stash!!!!It burned and smelled like a champ too!

    I love this series, Katie. It helps me get a sense of how to declutter. I have a good friend who loves candles and I give him the ones I haven't quite finished and don't like as much for whatever reason. I've stocked up more on sales this year and I went a little crazy at Halloween. I really don't need more candles right now, but I did just buy the 4 wick Kringle Christmas onsale. I'm going to see how long I can go with what I have. I need to fill out late spring into summer, but im good up to Easter. You've inspired me to count up what I have and see how I do. Please keep this series, I appreciate how thoughtful you are about not letting your candle collection go crazy. I probably have 30-50 candles, I'm not a candle ambassador, but I'm one person and that's a lot for me. I do not want to use a whole closet or a storage locker, if you know what I mean!!!

    Wow, Katie! Great job on hitting your goal to have a working & intentional collection. I missed my goal this year, but I am about halfway there. Already have emptied two this month and gifted one though. The key for me is to limit what comes in because once they are in, it is hard for me to say good-bye.

    I gifted all of my Kringle Christmas 2 wicks and burned a 4-wick this year. They were the best gifts and it brought a lot of joy to the reciepients and, in turn, to me! So much better than them sitting on a shelf until next year! Great job on reducing your stash. I'm on that mission as well.

    I want to work on burning the candles I love instead of “saving” them for the perfect time. It’s like I don’t want to burn my absolute favorites because then they will be gone but I wait so long that the season changes and I never enjoyed them! It’s insane. I love when you say that there will always be another scent you love. It helps get me out of this weird hoarding mentality.
