NEWNESS UPDATE: Spring 2019 Test Candles 2nd Phase

-
So my fellow BBW'ers, there are more candles on the horizon. It's just not spring at BBW without an onslaught of tropical/beachy scents. So if the first phase of spring candles didn't quite tickle your tropical fancy, the following may do the trick.


This collection all have wraparound labels with various beachy scenes on them. New scents include...

Seaside Daze - Sparkling Bergamot, Orange Blossoms, Coconut Milk (word on the street is this smells quite powdery. If it's not new, I'm gonna go with Orange Blossom & Driftwood)

 Flamingo Beach - Pink Summer Berries, Juicy Orange Dewy White Petals (hmm..Sugared Citrus Sorbet? Seaside Mimosa?)

 Island Hideaway - Fresh Sea Salt, Coconut Water, Lush Rainforest Cedar (so this was a failed test scent from 2017.....)

(.....the notes are completely different so it's possible that this new version could be completely different; BBW is known to pull switcheroos with returning old scents *cough cough Caramel Apple)


Returning scents include Island Margarita, Ocean Driftwood, Mango Maitai, Waikiki Beach Coconut, Pineapple Sunrise


There are also 2 more "new" candles but the labels are totally different; they're white with painted on watercolor-esque palm tree leaves on them. The scents are...

Oceanside Garden - Fresh Lemon, Sweet Jasmine, Cedarwood (this sounds suspiciously like Green Grass)

Banana Cabana - Sunkissed Banana, Sea Spray, Warm Vanilla (I thought maybe Pink Sands & Petals but from what I've heard really get a baked banana note with vanilla with a Beach Cabana-esque beach/ocean air vibe...doesn't sound like anyting from years past)

Lastly, there are 2 random quote-esque candles
Mermaid Life aka Turquoise Waters
Aloha Beaches (NOT Aloha Kiwi Passionfruit like last year) aka Mahogany Coconut..with the weirdest notes ever - "roasted chestnuts, caramelized sugar, sspiced rum" DAFUQ?!

I've no clue as to when these will be in stores; my guess would be next month.

    I'm disappointed that they seem to have completely given up Honolulu Sun, that's two years now that they haven't used it for the spring/summer candles. I'm not the hugest fan personally, but it's one of the only B&BW scents my mom likes, I usually try to get it for her for her birthday or mother's day.

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
