Video is embedded below, as well as, the complete included candle list in video order with short, mini reviews of each candle in case you are pressed for time or text is more your thing.

Goose Creek Candles : Summer Sherbet | Candle Review

Bath and Body Works: Candle Haul

I was almost thankful that I didn't find the majority of the spring and summer scents appealing this time.  I swear that it was all either florals, sun tan lotion coconut, peaches, mangoes, or sickly sweet scents.  Those are just not my thing, and my wallet was happy about it. 

I was mainly waiting for the prices to drop so that I could get my hands on another Summer Boardwalk.  Lo and behold, they did, and that's why you see three in the picture there.  Haha!

Here are the candles with scent descriptions and cold impressions that I picked up from the Summer SAS (Semi Annual Sale) from Bath and Body Works.

My Candle Collection

My candle collection is the biggest that it's ever been at the moment since the semi annual sales just ended.  I don't usually keep this many on hand.  Wow!  Luckily, I burn through them quite quickly.
