SHOP 'N' GO: $8.50 Candle Day Haul

-
So my bf and I woke up bright and early to get our shop on. Something in my gut told to me to go to Paramus Park instead of GSP; unlike GSP, PP is rarely crowded and because the WB store is still relatively new, it would probably be better stocked. So we get to the mall right as it opened and there were only a handful of people inside..that's a good sign I thought. We got to BBW/WB... completely and utterly jam packed with lines out the door and getting more crowded by the minute. I had no time to dawdle and look around; I got what I wanted and hightailed it outta there.

So I wasn't expecting to see any newness; I really only wanted some Winter Mint & Spruces and Hot Cocoa & Creams...which  I was worried that I wouldn't even see those as both had disappeared online and too many people said that their stores ran out days ago. But lo and behold, not only did they have enough WM&S and HC&C for everybody but there was a shrine of newness right at the front of the store!



So I bought 8 candles and did two transactions - 4 each with 2 10off30 coupons. And I had a $50 gift card courtesy of my mom from my birthday that I had been saving for Candle Day. First I bought

Then I bought...
I had some money left on my giftcard enough to get one more candle but I was tired and the store was getting more crowded and chaotic and I just wanted to GTFOT

Now fast forward today. I strolled on over to the BBW in the City and the had all of the Home for the Holidays candles (the WB store on Candle Day didn't have Mint Chocolate, Chestnut & Clove or Cranberry Pear Bellini and there was only one lone Creamy Nutmeg...which I bought.) as well as (much to my surprise) the "Let's Get Away" collection ..Tobacco Flower, Jasmine Water etc which...yeeeahhh, that's a blogpost for another day.

I did 3 exchanges (which I was worried the store would give me problems but they didn't) and bought one with the remainder money on my giftcard. I bought...

That said I am so good with candles and don't think I'm gonna be getting anything else for long time

    Merry Mistletoe?!!??!?! Lucky!! I haven't seen that, Creamy Nutmeg, or Cranberry Pear Bellini in any of my stores.
    I also made sure to snatch up Winter Mint & Spruce! I bought the Holly Berry Balsam too, which I've been neglecting. I don't really like it, so it's going back to the store. I was hoping it was more like Alpine Cheer. It's not.

      Weird, those candles should be in all stores by now..unless, are you in Canada cuz they haven't gotten them yet. If not, give it to the end of the week, they should be trickling in by then a least

      It really is. Much better than GSP

      Yeah I thought the location of both stores was kinda strange

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
