NEWNESS UPDATE: Fall 2014 Test Scents

-
So Ciapinkpumpkin got everybody whipped into a frenzy when she posted a list of upcoming fall test scents this past weekend. I gotta say, despite it being an incomplete list, the ones that were mentioned sound pretty damn tantalizing. No word on notes/descriptions or names of collections just yet.

So first of all, it looks like we'll be seeing many old and new fall favorites...

Cranberry Harvest
Leaves
Pumpkin Apple
Sweater Weather (YAY!!!!!)
Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin
Tailgate (*FAINTS)
Autumn
Flannel
Harvest Gathering

Hmmm...no mention of Cranberry Woods, Autumn Day, Pumpkin Carving or Pumpkin Cupcake..interesting...

There are other autumn inspired conceptual scents such as..

Autumn Sky
Golden Autumn Citrus
Green Apple Orchard
Crisp Morning Air
Walk in the Woods
Weekend Apple Picking
Autumn Night

Unfortunately, without notes I can't tell or guess if these are repackages of or completely new scents. Furthermore, no one knows which collections these will be in. Will they be in the usual White Barn collection or fall themed collection like last year's Sweater Weather line. Still I gotta say, I'm intrigued as hell!

Recently on Facebook (thanks to Lifeinsidethepage and Ciapinkpumpkin) we got a sneak peak of a fragrance line called the Artisan collection. It seems to be a hodgepodge of random fruits and veggies amd other gourmand notes thrown together. We saw three candles that sound kinda interesting...

Banana Nutmeg Bread Pudding (Cinnamon Nut Bread from '12?)
Cayenne Caramel (huh?!)
Wasabi Apple (again, huh?!)

Other contenders to possibly be in this collection include...

Cozy Vanilla Cream
Salted Caramel Corn
Warm Caramel Cider (Cider Lane?)
Bourbon Butterscotch
Brown Sugar and Carrots
Chestnut Glazed Croissant (mmmmmmmm)
Honeyed Nectarine
Malted Pistachio Truffle
Pear Woods Cider (Brandied Pear? either way, mmmm!)
Sea Salt and Maple Popcorn (Toffee Glazed Popcorn?)
Vanilla Chai (finally, a chai scent..though it could Vanilla Spice, Creamy Nutmeg or White Barn No2 Nutmeg and Spice)

Lastly, there seems to be a Halloween themed collection...

Toil and Trouble
Trick or Treat
Vampire Blood

This could be cute. Though I have a funny feelin that these will all be random repackages. Oh well, time will tell.

There have been rumours of a possible autumn version of Sweet Shoppe. If that's true, hopefully we'll see stuff like Apple Crumble or Cinnamon Sugared Doughnuts or Caramel Apple. I've also heard rumours of another straightup pumpkin line like last year. New Pumpkin Caramel Latte and Pumpkin Pecan Waffles wf duos have appeared online, so either or both of these rumours can certainly be possible. In any caswe, Ill make it a point to visit GSP after SAS and see what fall scents they have and hopefully confirm stuff.

Anyhoo, I dunno about y'all but I'm pretty damn excited for these fall scents. That Fresh Market bs was such a let down and had me not lookin forward to what was in store. But seein this list has renewed my optimism!

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...
