Bahaha! I KNEW Jelly Donut would be in there😂. Such yummy picks & I’m with you on that new Blueberry Violet HW candle. Mine arrived after I filmed & I burned it all day yesterday. So good! Thank you so much my friend for the kind words. The internet is full of crazy, but it’s also been nice to make connections with amazing, kind people too. Giggling to myself that we made very similar comments unknowingly when we filmed this video (MACARONS!).😊
What a fun collab, I'm heading over to Katie's channel next. I was lucky enough to snag a Sweet Cream and it is sooo good! I'm experiencing a pug snore extravaganza, I'm doggy sitting my sister-in laws pug and oh boy it just got real! 🤣
Ohhhh you are experiencing PUG!!!!!! Well, are you sold on Pug yet? Do you need your own snore machine in our church house? I really hope so! And Sweet Cream needs to come back. I am angry it hasn't yet lol!
Fun collab with Katie’s Joyful Life! 🎉 I’m not a food scent fan; however, you & Katie’s reviews inspired me to pick up Kringle Jelly Donut and Sprinkled Macarons-so delicious! I have yet to grab an original Macarons before it sells out. Kringle Crinkle Cookies as well as Fruit & Flakes are good. If coffee is considered a gourmand fragrance, B&BW Paris Café is my favorite.☕️ TYFS. 🤗
Great video! I love that you and Katie did a collab. I also just received the HW Blueberry Violet Tarte set from QVC, and I am so concerned about these needle-thin wicks. I am on my second burn today, and it is taking a very long time to pool. I am so worried this is going to a problem, since these wicks are so thin and leaning. I received the new Tuscany and St. Barts duos from QVC on Friday, and they both have the same needle-thin wicks that take forever to pool and lean. I thought HW was finally beyond the "puny wick syndrome" phase, but it seems not. Time will tell with subsequent burns on these new ones. Meanwhile, Kringle is knocking it out of the park for me, as well. :)
This is my first time in a while with HomeWorx wicks being less than idea. I will say, despite them being thin and wanting a tendency to lean, trimming them rather short prior to relighting seems to be doing the trick. But what I am loving is the strength and throw of it. I am having a great experience with that! I would totally buy more of this one based on the duo I got from Q.
Melanie, great video. I agree with you on Homeworx's Blueberry Violet Tart, the fragrance is wonderful. It did take a good amount of time to pool out on the first burn but did fine on the burns thereafter. I have not had any trouble with the wicks on my candle. Harry stated he used the same Blueberry as in Farmstand Blueberry. Speaking of Farmstand Blueberry, I hope you caught QVC's clearance on some of Homeworx candles. I got a set of Farmstand Blueberry for $19 and free shipping as well as SunKissed Lemon for the same $19 and free shipping. The Farmstand Blueberry packaging they had for the price had the white scalloped lids. I do think you should try the Almond Croissant from BBW, I think you would enjoy it. I realize you use to shop BBW regularly years ago when prices were lower, but really BBW candles in comparison to other candle companies are pretty much in line or lower. I do not think I have ever bought a Kringle 3 wick for under $25.00 and yet I can get a BBW for $13-$16 and then use a discount on top of that. I still think as fragrance goes, BBW candles seem to give more fragrance, at least in my home, than most of the Kringle I have tried. Kringle seems to do best in bedroom size rooms for me. My open concept areas, along with high cathedral ceilings, BBW (and some homeworx) seem to do the best. Even though it's convenient ordering online and having candles shipped, I do like the option of being able to go in person and smell a fragrance and of course BBW has the return option if there is a candle your dissatisfied with. ................Loved hearing the snoring in the background! I just got word, my baby has weeks to a month to live. She is 7 years old, a German Shepherd. She was really close to my husband who passed Memorial weekend (2 months after my Mom) and I had just recently had my large backyard fenced in for her because I did not trust myself being able to handle her on a leash (I am very petite). Unfortunately, she got little use of it because shortly afterwards she was diagnosed. ... Give lots of kisses and love to your snoring baby and cherish each and every day.
Oh Michelle, I am so so incredibly sorry for all of your losses. And then to have your beautiful dog. I am just so incredibly sorry. My heart is breaking for you. Make sure you make time with your beautiful girl a priority. Take many pictures. I wish I could give you a hug.
Nice video Melanie, Berry Waffle Cone sounds amazing. Bath & Body Works are $16.95 now, if you have a freebie coupon (I have two), I can get two free candles at that price now of which I will be shopping there tomorrow lol. Palo Santo and Palo Santo & Sage will be free. Not surprised that you and Katie chose Blueberry Cheesecake and Jelly Donut. I'm excited for Hot Cider Donut.
My favorite candle right now is wild berry jam doughnut! Top five candle for me. Bbw had a flash candle sale on Sunday for $13.95 that’s when I picked up my candles with the coupon. Almond croissant is so good! Fifthly dirty burn half way down. I had to pour the wax off because it smelled horrible, but the burn after I did that was still so dirty I ended up melting the rest of it. You have to get it even if you only melt it. It goes from my kitchen all the way up my stairs around the corner and almost makes it into my bedroom, granted my house is not huge, but still crazy strong and delicious smelling!
I find that I have to put most of my BBW candles under a lamp by the midway point. They do have some very good fragrances but the issue with sooting is a bit much. Not sure if it’s the wicks or just the wax blend. 🤷🏻♀️
My favorite summer scent from BBW is summer boardwalk. My favorite from Homeworx is Maple Banana Pancakes or toasted vanilla cupcake which I burn all year long.
I just had a dessert that looks similar to the blueberry cheesecake candle..haha. I don't care for gourmand scents and my family hates them so no favorites in that scent family here. I totally get the idea of whittling down the collection. I haven't bought 1 candle in close to a year, and it feels amazing to just use and enjoy what I have!
No, it’s definitely a different fragrance to my nose. The most dominant note is the blueberry that is in Farmstand Blueberry with a bit of a crust note & a little bit of tang. Slight floral in the background but it’s not lavender. Hope that helps.

Jelly Donut is an obvious must lol. It's so good! I too am so happy we connected on this crazy platform! Very proud of your growth!
What a fun surprise video!! I need to get my hands on those new reserves. I think the stock up rule doesn’t apply to Jelly Donut. I’d buy 12. 😂
I kind of think the rule should not apply to Jelly Donut either haha! BUT, I have to be good.

@@MrKongsMom Haha my church house is filled with the amplifying echoes of pug snorts, I love it!

Sending you hugs and keeping you in my prayers. You’ve had a very rough time. 🙏🏻

Great picks! I so hope Kringle restocks your reserve line selections, and that the HW Blueberry & Violet makes it to their site!
I hope so! They are all so delicious!

Thanks for sharing!! Love that! Enjoy what you have!
I’ve never noticed Alfs snoring until today since i have headphones in, now I get why you always make the disclaimer 😂
Ha! See! It's much loader via headphones lol.
Hi! They’re currently doing 20% off on top of the candles at 15.95!
Yeah, still too much for a BBW for me lol. I need a $12.95 plus 20% to bite at BBW these days.
@@MrKongsMom honestly, I feel that lol everything has gone up in price but nothing has changed or improved
Do you think the Violet Blueberry Tart is a repackage of Blueberry Lavender Cupcake from last year?
No, it’s definitely a different fragrance to my nose. The most dominant note is the blueberry that is in Farmstand Blueberry with a bit of a crust note & a little bit of tang. Slight floral in the background but it’s not lavender. Hope that helps.
This is definitely not lavender, it's a violet note and it's so lovely!!!!
