Day 543 - Bunny Slope



Bunny Slope (1): This is a L*** dupe in Candleman's Closet. I'm not really a fan of most of those scents and this is one I don't particularly care for. It's supposed to smell like marzipan so I get a cherry almond type of scent out of it. Not for me, but if you like the soap then you might enjoy this one!

Day 516 - Geisha


Currently Burning: Geisha

Now onto the daily review!


Geisha (3): This is a dupe for a bath bomb. It's a clean berry type of scent. Not a favorite but certainly not the worst in the Candleman's Closet line.

Day 508 - A Bit of the Bubbly?


Currently Burning: A Bit of the Bubbly

Now onto the daily review!


A Bit of the Bubbly (1): This is another dupe from Candleman's Closet. It's supposed to have cognac in it and I think that's what is throwing it off for me. It's got something super duper green about it that I really do not like.

Day 505 - Rock That Vanilla


Currently Burning: Rock That Vanilla

Now onto the daily review!


Rock That Vanilla (2): This is a dupe that is in Candleman's Closet. I'm not sure how close it is to the conditioner it's duping. I like this scent WAY more in Bath & Body than I do in wax form. It's a very perfumey vanilla.

Day 415 Goldilocks


Currently Burning: Goldilocks

Now onto the daily review!


Goldilocks (4): This is a dupe for Porridge from Lush. It is a very close dupe. It's got some citrus notes in it and woody notes. It's a pretty complex blend but like Peace, this is one that I like every once in awhile.

Day 380 - Snuggle Up


Currently Burning: Snuggle Up

Now onto the daily review!


Snuggle Up (1): This is a Lush dupe for the Comforter bubble bar. To me it smells like black licorice and I hate it. I have no idea if it smells accurate to the comforter but this one is not for me.

Day 238 - Sweet Angel Dust


Currently Burning: Sweet Angel Dust

Now onto the daily review!


Sweet Angel Dust (3): This smells like a mix of Pink Bubble Gum Crush and Heavy Metal. Maybe like 3/4 PBGC and 1/4 HM. I love PBGC and really dislike HM so this one is pretty good, but I like Pink Bubble Gum Crush just a little more.

Day 113 - Grad School


Currently Burning: Emperor's Love

Ugh I just hate grad school! It's not that it's particularly difficult, I'm just so over doing schoolwork! This May, I'll be just barely over halfway done. I should graduate in December, but I am struggling to keep my willpower up! I know that I should just push through and finish, but it's just hard for me to do that! 

Once I get started on an assignment it isn't too bad, but it's just getting started! I wish I had some Activator LOL (for those of you that are confused...StrengthsQuest).

Now onto the daily review!



Emperor's Love (3): This is a Candleman's Closet scent that I actually don't mind. It isn't my favorite scent, but it's really not bad at all. I can smell the strawberry (which is similar to the strawberry in Finger Lickin Good), but there's also some floral notes (rose & lavender). The throw on it is pretty good. I don't think I'll be getting a candle in this one, but for being in the Candleman's Closet it's good!

Day 106 - Another Stormy Sunday


Currently Burning: Finger Lickin' Good



This morning has been very stormy! I'm hoping that it clears up by this afternoon because we're having a staff development activity (thankfully inside).


We were under a tornado warning for a hot minute, but I think the majority of the storm moved to the North of me.


I did see a little bit of rotation but overall the storm had largely broken apart by the time it got to me.

Now onto the daily review!



Finger Lickin' Good (1): Another in Candleman's Closet that I really do not like. This smells like a nutty honey with an undertone of strawberry and a little bit of orange. I'm not sure what it is that I really don't like about this one, but it is not for me. Throw is medium. I will not be repurchasing.

Day 097 - Fable III


Currently Burning: Heavy Metal



I've had this game for a long time and finally went back to playing it this past week. The Fable series is about a person that has to become a hero (technically he/she already is one, you just have to unlock pieces of the puzzle). Fable III takes place several years after the events of Fable II and you play the youngest son or daughter of the main character from Fable II (the King). You have to travel the hero's path to claim the throne from your tyrannical older brother. It's a really good RPG and I really enjoy the series a lot.

Now onto the daily review!


Heavy Metal (2): This scent shot was filled to the brim with wax! I'm not a huge fan of this one. It's EXTREMELY sweet, but at the same time, I get a smell almost like a mechanic's shop. It has this grease note in it that is really throwing me off. Of course, I'm not really a fan of the scents in Candleman's Closet to begin with (I've found). The throw on this is really strong. I won't be reordering it.

Day 090 - Prototype


Currently Burning: What Goes Around Comes Around



Prototype is a really weird game. The main character wakes up and doesn't remember any details about what happened to him other than his name. He soon discovers that he has the ability to morph his body into weapons and is able to absorb other people. The main story has you absorbing people to gain memories to try to recreate his experience.

The setting is in New York City and there's also this element of zombie apocalypse because of a virus outbreak that's changing all the humans. Not my favorite game, and I didn't really finish it because I got bored with the story.

Now onto the daily review!



What Goes Around Comes Around (2): This one is an insane color of blue! It's a powdery mixture of dragon's blood and patchouli. Not a huge fan. The throw is surprisingly not very strong for a patchouli fragrance though.

Day 074 - thatsprettygay


Currently Burning: Gorillas in the Mist



I've been watching TPG pretty much since the beginning of the channel back in 2009. They've gone through a few different casting changes, but the current cast (with the exception of Thursday) have been on for awhile.

Ben (Monday)

Ben's personal channel is boywithdreams12. Honestly, Ben's videos are probably my least favorite, because most of the time he doesn't really do the theme (either because he doesn't know what it is, or doesn't care). He's really ditzy though so that's pretty funny. Ben replaced the 2nd Monday who replaced Chris Craigman (who is now Wednesday)


 Jordan (Tuesday)

Jordan is the only original cast member that is still on his original weekday. His personal channel is Jessigmann624. Not gonna lie, kind of a ho-bag...especially on Tumblr...js


Chris Craigman (Wednesday)

Chris C. was the original Monday on the channel, he left and eventually came back as Wednesday (replacing Jordan #2 that replaced Stu). I really like Chris' videos because he's so cheerful! His personal channel is thechrisappeal.


R.J. (Thursday)

R.J. very recently replaced Will (the original Thursday) for a permanent basis. Of course, Will isn't too far away because R.J. is Will's boyfriend. R.J. personal channel is rjaguiar1117.


 Chris Murphy (Friday)

I love Chris Murphy. Hands down favorite. His personal channel is hprum17.



Now onto the daily review!



Gorillas in the Mist (3): Another L*** dupe. It smells a lot like Vick's VapoRub, but not as in your face strong. The throw is actually a LOT lighter from what I thought it was going to be on cold sniff. I probably won't be picking this up again. It's not bad, it just doesn't really throw that far (with 1/2 a Scent Shot).

Day 069 - The Sims 3


Currently Burning: Pink Bubblegum Crush


 I've played the Sims 3 on both the PC and the XBOX 360. The PC version has a lot more features of course, but I prefer to play it on XBOX because I think it's easier to control. I don't have a desktop computer so playing on a laptop is not ideal.

The Sims 3 is basically a simulation game for the life of a person/family. You buy and build a house, decorate it, take care of Sims (people), raise a family, get jobs, etc. It's pretty fun, but it can get kind of slow. There are multiple skill trees to master so that helps to keep it from being too boring. 

Now onto the daily review!



Pink Bubblegum Crush (5): This is a Lush dupe for Candy Fluff. I've never tried Lush products personally, but from what I've been told almost all of them are dead on dupes. I didn't really like this one when it first came in. However, I've had it for about 2 months now and wow can scents change! It smells like a very sweet The throw on this one is really strong too! I could smell it all throughout my apartment with just 1/2 of a scent shot.
