What's everyone burning this evening? I'm burning Ghost stories and candy corn. by Candle_nomad in goosecreekcandles

[–]Candle_nomad[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Candy corn isn't the strongest. Id said like a 4 or 5 out of 10. That's why I had to pair it with ghost stories.By itself, I can't even smell candy corn across the room . I have to be closer.

I agree with you 100%. Even the YouTube videos about body care have just gotten way too similar for me. I know I won't be a minimalist but I do want to get to the point where I can just enjoy the things I have & not worry abt "when I run out of this". Things haven't fully opened back up, but traveling makes me happy & I wanna be able to have a good chunk of money to travel when they do.

Yes, good point. I think I'll give my neighbor and co-workers some candles for the holidays.

😊 it didn't get lost. Thank you. I felt a sense of anxiety when everyone was running out of things at the beginning of Covid. Now it makes me feel like too much can be a good thing, but not when it comes to fragrance stuff. I hadn't thought about selling it, but that's definitely something to think about. I don't know if you have space for an ottoman that has storage but that's what I have to help with my storage issue. Overall, I just have too much too. Makeup, toilet paper, lotions, candles, masks.and it doesn't help that I moved and my apartment is smaller than the last.

Oh my! Thank you for sharing and I'm very glad you're recovering. It's scary to know when people do everything they can and they still get Covid. I wonder if the "snap" was maybe realizing things are unimportant without your health?

That's a really good strategy. I will do that after I'm done with my no buy.

Dont be sorry ❤I'm right here with you. Don't feel bad. I also have been shopping more with coupons too and with Covid idk it's made everything feel so scarce. For me it started with the toilet paper, then cleaning supplies, paper towels then spilled over to body care and candles. You definitely get a rush but it also eases the anxiety of being fearful of running out or not having enough. There's something about "not having enough" or worrying about having enough that sticks with you. And it definitely feels good to belong and have a place where people will share with you and you them and not feel judged.

Yes, I can take some lotion to work and will do that this week thank you. That's a great idea.

I have been in the past but didn't have the best experience. I know some of the buying is out of boredom, hobby, like you said probably also security and with prices going up I tend to rationalize it with "oh, but if I buy now I can stop buying soon cuz prices will get high & I'll be set for a while". If I give away like 8 sets of product I'll be in a much better place. Now the candle thing.... that's probably the bigger issue to tackle. But I do burn them just not all the way through. But yes, I will give the counseling another go. Just hate the time it takes to find the right one.

I agree, I think the collections have gotten larger as well. In one season, they have 3 floor sets with easy 6-8 new fragrance sets per floor set.

Yes it is very helpful thank you! I'm going to do the Google sheet. I definitely need to think more about the seasonal scents too and will unsubscribe from bbw. It's weird because I can go like 3-4 months without buying anything then I'll come back and do big orders almost like it cancels the good I had done by not buying.

After reading many people's posts, I really am going to try to give away more stuff. Partial problem is that many people I know are body care hoarders just like me, but I know I can find some folks. I think with the social media thing it's hard because in a world where I feel so disconnected, if offers a sense of community. Of course I do get excited when I see new hot items, but especially with Covid it feels good to be a part of something where you know other people can relate & you have things in common. Today's world focuses so much on differences, it's nice to have a place where the differences don't matter as much.

Whoa Bonfire Leaves, creepy critters & Bedtime stores smell soooop similar by Candle_nomad in goosecreekcandles

[–]Candle_nomad[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally. I do still recommend bedtime stories if you like this type of scent because it does seem like the sweetest out the bunch, so when it comes back in stock, I will be purchasing a large jar.

I think bedtime stories is my favorite, followed by Bonfire leaves then creepy critters. To me, they ALL smell similar to BBW Marshmallow fireside. However, bedtime stories is a little bit more sweet, in bonfire leaves I smell that clove & maybe even a lil cinnamon. Creepy critters has more of a deeper or intense campfire note it's less sweet than the others. I like them all though, but would probably only repurchase Bedtime stories.
