Cozy Winter Favorites: Wax Melts

-

Hi friends!

I've been thinking about the things that make my house a home and give me all the cozy feels during the cold and sometimes dreary days of winter. I also thought it might be fun to do a little series of posts about them to share with you!

Today let's visit one of all time favorite ways I like to cozy up my home, not just in the winter, but year around - wax melts! 


There are so many things to like about wax melts, but my number one reason I'm a fan is no open flame! No danger of fire, no dirty soot. Don't get me wrong, I love a good candle (and do use them) but yikes, they sure burn dirty and make a mess when used day after day. And of course, the danger of forgetting to extinguish them and the risk of fire.  I do like the smell - or "throw" - of a candle more than a wax melt, but the wax melts are a great alternative!  

Wax melts can be very economical - only a few dollars for a pack that will last you many, many days.

They are easy to find - available at big box stores like Wal-Mart and Target, as well as specialty stores and of course, online. Even Cabela's sells them!

Wal-Mart's better Homes & Gardens line is not only affordable, but has wonderful, long lasting scents. Their fall and Christmas scents are my favorite and I use them year round.


This Tyler brand of wax melts is a favorite too. I use their Kathine scented laundry detergent for our bedding and when I found wax melts in that scent I couldn't buy them fast enough lol. It is such a clean and fresh scent - perfect for bedrooms and bathrooms.
 

Wal-Mart carries Goose Creek melts too. I think it is a newer line for them, but the company has been around for years. I have really enjoyed the Classic Christmas tree scent this season.


If you have not tried wax melts, I highly recommend you give them a try. They really envelop your home with cozy charm. If you are already a fan, please let me know your favorites in the comments below.

I will share my favorite wax warmers soon!

    I do not do wax melts anymore, but still light my candles this time of year. Janice

    I love wax melts for all the reasons you mentioned. In December, I always do a pine tree scent of some kind, but in January I really love the Yankee Candle cranberry chutney scent. I change up the scent each month for the particular holiday or season. My favorite wax melts are Gold Canyon, but shipping makes them so expensive that I usually go with what I can get at Walmart, which is usually Better Homes & Gardens and Yankee.

Cold Weather Cozy

 Hi friends! It's been cold here in Kentucky and we even got a few inches of snow this morning. Winter has definitely shown up here and around the country! I actually enjoy cold weather and hunkering down in the house with warm sweaters, cozy  blankets and a steamy drink.  I have been working on a little kitchen refresh that I'm hoping to share in a few days. In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy a few pictures of our living room fireplace area. I hope you all stay warm and have a terrific weekend! I made some homemade chicken soup this morning and it has been simmering away on the stove top - it smells so good on this blustery January day. I'm looking forward to having some for supper tonight!

2024 Will Be Enough

 Hi y'all! Happy New Year to all of you!  I've been thinking a lot about the new year and all the usual resolutions and expectations we all tend to set for ourselves with a 365 day clean slate presented to us each January 1st.  As the Christmas season unfolded, I also have been thinking about the pressures and expectations we tend to put on ourselves to make the Christmas experience "perfect."   We craft, we decorate, we bake, we entertain, we buy and yet, it never seems enough. Social media has a lot to do with this feeling of not doing or being enough. I noticed in so  many blogs and vlogs this past season, where the creators would constantly  apologize that "I need to repaint this room, our Formica countertops need to be replaced, we ran out of time to install new floors, the curtains are all wrong" and on and on and on. Nearly every post or video proclaims some embarrassment or disclaimer that their home was just not quite good enough. Yet, there h...
