Haul: My First Candles By Victoria Candle!

I'm a little bit obsessed with the color gold.
...okay, "a little bit" is an understatement.
Let's put it this way, if I had a choice, I'd paint everything gold: my house, my car, my nails, my computer, my dog (okay, not the dog, but you get the picture)....sparkly, shiny, wonderful gold.
Look. At. This. Amazing. Candle.
Sparkly, magnificent, homebrewey gold.
I have had the damnedest time trying to get my Candles By Victoria scent shots working. They don't melt for me, not in my 24W hot plate warmer, not in my 40W light bulb warmer. Not the entire thing, not cut into 1/4 chunks. But, I figured, since there was a sale a few months ago, I'd try out one of her candles! I chose the scent Holiday Homebrew on Josh's suggestion: I read him 2 scent descriptions, one was Amish Quilt, one was this scent. I figured I'd show its golden wonderment. This version of candle is called a 22oz. tureen candle in the color "halo gold," and angelic it is. It has been curing for about 2 1/2 months, but I am going to try and hold out as long as I can.

Hope you enjoyed looking at how awesome this is, just felt compelled to share. :)

  1. So pretty! That's so weird about their scent shots, I've heard the same thing from other people as well!

    1. Maybe it's because their was is harder than most other waxes? I mean, Jacqui told me to try and cut it into 1/4ths and it STILL doesn't seem to want to budge...I might have to destash all my scent shots because they just don't work for me. Maybe in the new house, it will make a difference? But yeah, her candles are gorgeous, I am kicking myself for not partaking in her last April 1 sale!

    1. I have heard of others having this problem with their wax, too, maybe it's because it's so much harder than other waxes! I'm sure you'll love everything in your order! :)
