MUTIPLE SPOTLIGHT: Winter Deep Cleansing Soaps

-
I've been putting this post off for so long cuz of the holidays and posting about more relevant things. Oh well, better late than never!

Let's talk soaps! The following are soaps that I have been using or will use in the near future





Fresh Sparkling Snow
A sparkling blend of snow-covered pine, musk and moss.

This is my all time favorite soap for winter. It doesn't smell like the notes..quite frankly I don't know what it smells like. It's just really fresh and clean and I love it!


Holly Citrus Wreath
A holiday blend of holly berry, blood orange and green pine

I am in LOVE with this soap. This is absolutely perfect for the holidays. You totally smell the crisp juicy blood orange note mixed with fresh pine, not so much holly berry though. This is soap is everything! 


Snowkissed Mint
A snow-kissed blend of frozen mint, coconut and sugared marshmallow

Not a big fan of this one. Judging from its name, you would think that it smells super minty. Nope! It smells like a cheap knockoff version of Fresh Sparkling Snow. Coconut..perhaps. Mint..just a smidge. Marshmallow..absolutely not!


Crisp Golden Pear
A sparkling celebration of fresh pear, iced champagne and sweet sugar cane


Y'know, I go back and forth with this one. I LOVE pear scents which is why I got this. When I first sniffed this, it totally smelled like beer to me. Then I sniffed it again and I could smell the pear and champagne notes. Now that I've been using it regularly, I still go back and forth; one minute I smell pear then the next minute I smell beer again.


Pink Sparkling Champagne
A fizzy celebration of pink sugar, sparkling mandarin and champagne

I honestly don't know what possessed me to buy this one. It's such a girly girl scent to me (no offense to my female readers). It doesn't smell anything like the notes at all. To me this smells exactly like Mr. Bubble bubble bath.


Lemon Meringue Cheer
A sweet & tart blend of Meyer lemon zest, orange blossom and fluffy meringue

OMG, this smells so friggin good! It truly smells like straight up legit lemon meringue. You smell the meyer lemon gelatinous filling, the merimgue topping and even crisp pie crust. Soooo good!

Frosted Plumberry
A frosted blend of frozen plums, winter blackberries and brown sugar

Much like Pink Sparkling Champagne, I dunno what possessed me to buy this. I bought sometime during SAS. It smells almost exactly like Bubbalicious grape bubblegum.

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...
