I posted a few videos but have been unable to post to blog. My phone won't allow it for some reason. So here is what has been going on my Youtube channel the last few days!

Recycled Bath and Body Works wax
Recycled wax.
Left: Sandalwood Citrus
Right: Blackberry Bramble Tea and Holiday Wish
Bring water to boil in pot. Place burned out candle in pot, or if you have wax chips, place in a glass container that you will not be using for food. Melt wax. Remove container with tongs. Use heat safe mitt or oven pad to hold the bottom while you pour into a new container you have prepared with a wick. I use recycled containers from resale stores. Stabalize wick while it cools to avoid crooked wick or sinking. Let dry overnight.
Enjoy!

Holy hauls!
For the record, I do not buy a zillion things in one day. Sometimes I'll stock up some things and then upload videos. I also may sometimes recieve things as gifts or buy something to show you, and then I may decide there was something else I had wanted instead. I do not ever take anything back to Bath and Body Works unless it is a dud or it is new and unused. I only took something used back one time because I didn't like it. It was part of the frosted candles collection and now I don't remember which one it was.
That being said, I do have a lot of bath and body works, but I never ever pay full price, and I always have coupons.
I burn through candles really fast. I think I've burned through like 15-20 since June. I always try to time things so I don't spend more than $8-9 on a candle.
Also I have suggested this in a previous post, ebates.com is a wonderful tool that gives cash back. I've also resold in order to be able to purchase additional things to review.
I really enjoy sharing the products and I hope people enjoy the channel and blog.
