NEW IDEA AND RANT OF THE DAY: Dog Days of Summer Candles

-
I meant to post this yesterday buuuuuut yesterday was my BIRTHDAY!!!!!

The dog days of summer have been over and Labor Day has already passed. And even though the autumn equinox is still a couple of weeks away, summer is pretty much over. People have been burning fall candles for well over and month and we're supposed to seeing more fall scents come our way (supposedly) this week. And the winter holiday scents are gonna be testing soon...I'm sure most you have heard about that debacle. I can't even think about all of that cuz Im still in summer mode.

That said, it would be nice if there was a small summer themed collection of scents for those of us who love fall but just aren't ready for fall yet. It doesn't have to be anything new, not necessarily beachy, definitely nothing tropical

For this collection, I nominate the following...

Summertime Soda - I will never understand why this was never brought back despite it being an underground hit. A lemon lime soda scent is perfect for summer

Melon - why have we never had a watermelon scent for summer. In the past,this scent has failed twice and I never understood why

Vanilla Firewood - only because it smelled just like barbeque sauce

Coastal Sun - to me, CS is summertime in a jar. It's bright, it's fresh, it's sunny, just perfect!

Ice Cream Shop - I'm not a big fan of this scent but it makes sense to have an ice cream scent for a dog days of summer collection. It definitely needs to be tweaked though; add more chocolate and vanilla to make smell more like Neapolitan ice cream or maybe banana or fudge like banana split/sundae

Poolside - the original Poolside aka Suntan. This smelled like straightup legit authentic suntan lotion

Beach Day - I just love this scent for summer. Probably because it's... cologney. But there is something summery and beachy about this scents - you smell the saltiness of sea and in the seabreeze, you feel the sand between your toes, the sun on your skin and watching hot tanned guys in speedos

    Happy birthday!! I would like to nominate Seaside Escape form Slakin era to the dog days of summer. Onto the holiday test debacle, my friend (iambored24) called Columbus test and manager recognized him and said 11. We then saw reports of the 7th and when I commented on a post I recived a replay that another test store is exactly saying the same thing.. 11th. That's two unrelated people having the same info... Is it true??!? You tell me.. You know how BBW does things!

    Happy Birthday!!
    They had a scent called Melon Sorbet that was out about 6 or 7 years ago that would be great. It was a straight up Honeydew scent. I'm buying tons of Sweater Weather so I'm stocked on that one when it's gone again. But I'm not ready to burn anything other than summer scents just yet. It just doesn't feel like fall when it's 86 degrees outside before you factor in the humidity.

    Happy belated birthday! I forgot I had a Coastal Sun tucked away and pulled it out last weekend. We're having stupid hot weather right now even though the days are getting shorter, so this one is great.

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
