NEWNESS UPDATE & RANT OF THE DAY: 2013 Winter Holiday Test Scents

-
So BBW has released their list of test scents for this year's winter...and the BBW community is goin NUTS!!!

Allow me to rant for a hot second....

Ya know, it never fails...BBW starts releasing their fall/winter super early and BBW enthusiasts go ape shit! People have already started buying and burning their seasonal candles and before they know it, they get burned out before the season has even started and start foaming at the mouth for the next line of seasonal scents. It's not even fall yet and folks are already burned out with the falls scents. And now BBW has released their scents for the winter and already people have bought some from the test stores. And apparently, some body leaked the winter scents info on Facebook and everybody and their grandma started calling test stores to see what new scents were available and to order, much to the annoyance and dismay of SAs and the higher ups. It's a vicious cycle!

I reiterate....IT'S NOT EVEN FALL YET!!!!

I have only recently purchased any fall scents and haven't used any of them yet. I want to enjoy my fall scents IN FALL! I'm still trying to transition out of summer...which is hard when you live in a city with sub-tropic weather. I'm not remotely psyched or have even remotely thought about wintertime or BBW 's winter scents and I won't till at least the end of November.

At the risk of sounding pessimistic and ominous, I sense a backlash in the nearby future. And that's all I gotta say....

Anyhoo, here's a link to an updated list of scents for Winter 2013

    I think next time I go to her house I might just have to drop the Champagne Toast into my bag. I'm curious about that one. It smells like something but I cannnot figure out what. I want to compare it to summertime soda, bellini cafe and ping sangria. Champagne Toast has a bubbly citrus scent to it.

MY LAST POST: End of an Era

Have you ever looked back at something in your life that you were once passionate about and/or obsessed with and over time, you found yourself not feeling the same way anymore? Perhaps sort of going thru the motions with it or just completely over it but not ready to admit it? That's how I feel about B&BW...more to the point, that's how I feel about talking about B&BW as a reviewer. I've mentioned before that I stopped posting regularly on IG. During last year's lockdown, I would pop my head in with a post or a story just to keep in touch a bit and show I was alive...only to see my post not get as much attention as they used to as well as also watching one follower after the next unfollow me. Apparently if you're not churning out daily content, folks can't be bothered with you, regardless of what's going on in your life. At the start of 2020, I had a little over 6000 followers (even that annoyed me as there were accounts who started later than me and...

CANDLE RETROSPECTIVE: Brozeblogger's Top 20 Candles OF ALL TIME

-
Well dear readers, today's New Year's Eve - we're almost at the finish line and soon we'll be able to wave goodbye and not so fond farewell to the dumpster fire that was 2020. Normally, as per my own tradition, in honor of New Year's I would write a retrospective look back on the past year and list what I thought were the best new scents that were released. Obviously I couldn't do that this year - with the pandemic, I've been avoiding stores thus couldn't do my usual WALK N SNIFFs nor did I particularly buy very much as I'm not about that shipping/handling plus tax life. But as this this New Years hits a bit differently than past ones and is the beginning of a new decade, I thought I do something different. I thought I'd do a real retrospective and look back at some of my favorite scents spanning from my time as a review and as Bronzeblogger - some from now till back in 2013 when I started this blog. I'm gonna avoid seasonal rideordie loves l...

NEWNESS UPDATE: Spring 2021 Candles

-
 Well we made it to 2021! I personally feel like the new year started last week on January 20th; the world got a little less crazy and I feel like I can breath again. No, things are certainly not ideal and nowhere near back to the normal but it's slowly getting there. I hadn't had much to say on here lately. I didn't engage in any SAS shenanigans for obvious reasons. Besides a few wf bulbs during the most recent sale, I haven't really bought anything. I've kinda just been laying low and slimming down my collection as I'm not about the collecting/stocking up life anymore; either burning things or giving and/or selling them away. Occasionally I peep my head into social media to see what's poppin and what newness (that I won't get to see or smell for myself to review) is heading our way. I debated whether or not it was worth posting a newness update; after putting it off and hemmingandhawwing, I decided I might as well. So here we are. So as you may (or may...
