WALK 'N' SNIFF: Post SAS Spring 2018 Candles

My bf is sick (hopefully not with the flu) so while I was out getting him some stuff to get better, I peeked in a nearby BBW to sniff some post-SAS spring newness . So without further ado, let's start at the top and werk our our down thru all of the NEW things that are currently in stores Pomelo Citron (7334M8A1) - straightup Capri Citron without a doubt Coconut Colada (7348K3A1) - I was really really hoping this would be the now forgotten Bahama Fizz  but no such luck..though on the plus side, it's totally new.  So you get a creamy blend of coconut and banana equally followed by a tiny hint of cinnamon sugar spice.

Let's be honest, no community is free from the ignorant, the highly-opinionated, the petulant/childish and the straight up cray. That said, I am of the opinion that the amount of negativity and drama has escalated lately for whatever reason. And I am over it!
