SHOP 'N' GO: 2014 Fall Haul

-
So as you know, BBW has doin a lot of ridiculous unnecessary shit lately that kinda turned me off. However my obsession...ahem I mean love for BBW runs deep. And I love fall scents!!! I couldn't just not buy anything. So I decided to make the best of it get myself goodies. Y'know, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade...and add vodka!

So weeks ago there was $12 3wick flash sale. I was tempted and I totally caved in. I decided to get scents that wouldn't be in stores or wasn't in stores at the time. I bought...
  • Pumpkin Sugared Doughnut (BIIIIIIIGGGGGG MISTAKE)
  • Pumpkin Cinnamon Bun (possibly another mistake)
  • Autumn Night (this is my new jam!!!)
* Pumpkin Sugared Doughnut WILL be going back to the store and probably so will Pumpkin Cinnamon Bun


Then too long after months of anticipation and anxiety, there was finally a 2/22 sale...and there was much rejoicing in the land. My bf took a trip to Garden State Plaza and just on a whim, we decided to take to stroll to BBW and see what it was like. It was actually surprisingly well-stocked. It had the Pumpkin Café scents (sans PCD and PCB), the Artisan scents (sans Malted Pistachio Truffle and Chestnut Glazed Croissant) the Autumn Nights scents (sans Flannel and Fresh Balsam) So we decided to take advantage of the sale. My bf bought...
  • White Barn '13 version of Leaves (for his boss)
  • Autumn Nights
  • Spiced Pumpkin Cider

Later that day (which I think was the last day of the sale), I made an online order...

And that's it! A very small haul, especially compared to last fall's haul. There's honestly no more candles that I want. I still need to get some soaps and there are some wf bulbs that I want to get, but I think as far as candles, I'm done til the winter stuff comes out.

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
