Project Gone Right!

Well, as most women are, I am obsessed with Pinterest! Recipes, wish lists, crafts and neat little tricks I never knew existed. For instance the trick to cleaning out old candle wax from Bath & Body Works jars for all types of uses. Bathroom essentials, candy jars, even gift jars for SO many different things.

However, most tutorials call for the boiled water method, then discarding the wax, but the tutorial that i found was MUCH better!

If your anything like me, you get upset when a candle is done and see how much product is actually still left at the bottom that can never be burned... Not anymore. The tutorial [here] will show you how to clean out the jar and preserve your wax to freeze & use in a wax warmer or whatever those things are called.

An extra little tip that I found on my own was that most people always write the name of the candle that the wax is from on the Ziploc bag, to make life a lot easier, it just made more sense to me to simply peel off the sticker from the jar that has the name already on it & probably a pretty little descriptive photo and just stick it on the bag! Since I'm all about the visual, I won't have to guess what the scent may smell like, as soon as I see the sticker, I'll automatically remember.

I've only done two so far and here they are.


Here is Sweet Water Taffy, obviously. Its no longer available, hopefully it will be back next year for the spring/summer season, but its describes as "A sweet treat of vanilla cream whipped with fresh strawberries & cherries." This scent is currently burning in my house and smells DIVINE! 


Red Guava Lava, which is still available here, is another really nice Spring reminder during the dead of winter. This scent is described as "Hawaii's spectacular lava landscape is celebrated in an explosively fresh and fruity blend of red guava and passion fruit."

I have a few more scents coming up that I can't wait to try out, especially that candles that are in the Mason Jar Collection! This shall be fun! Y'all should try it & let me know how it goes. 

Peace & Love

Im BAAAACK!!

Hola chicas, and chicos! I'm back, foreals this time though! I'm gonna get back into everything! Regular blogs, linkups (I've missed the NAIL FILES soooo much), because my nails have changed SO many times over the past month and a half or so! I also want to give the Foodie Pen Pals another shot, because I never received a package, and it wasn't because of the person that had my name, I honestly think it got lost in the postal system since I moved back to Charleston from North Carolina. Or my creepy/sketchy neighbors really stole it. But that's okay! I still want to give folks a "Taste of Charleston" which is an actual event held here every year that recently passed!
 
I can't believe its the fall ALREADY! It doesn't totally feel like it, except at night and early in the morning but I'm so excited! Riding boots, sweaters, scarves, OH MY! Then the Coastal Carolina Fair comes to town, then its Halloween, then before ya know it it'll be Thanksgiving and Christmas!
 
Then I have an update on my "Heat-Free Summer" challenge, with pictures!!
 
And I guess one would call them "Blog-Hauls" since I recently became OBSESSED with eBay, and I've bought so much jewelry from Hong Kong its ridiculous! I'm also on Pinterest now, AND this iPhone/iPad/iPod app called PoshMark where people can take pictures of clothes, shoes or jewelry that's new or gently used and sell it right there!! I already sold a pair of shoes for $20! SCORE!!
 
Anyways guys, I'm sitting in a really awkward and uncomfortable position with my laptop on my leg and its starting to hurt, I have conditioner in my head STILL and I heard a really creepy noise come from my laundry room, and I'm home alone, so I'm a tad scared... So I'll be back tomorrow with that hair update, and more! Stay Tuned!
 
 
Peace & Love
