Ahhh Texas, how do I love thee let me count the ways!!.. The food, the land, that big ole Texas hair (kidding), ohh and Grace Note Gifts; yes Texas you brought me yet another indie vendor to discuss today and one which happens to make one of my favorite things in life; soy melts!
I first heard about Grace Note Gifts all the way out here in Hawaii from a local kiosk which happens to stock her divine smelling scents! I really became interested about the time I learned that fall scents were rolling out, because if you know anything about Hawaii you know that we DO NOT experience Fall or Winter in the traditional sense; so that being said I like to "pretend" I get to go through those seasons in my nice cold house with some amazing smelling candles aiding as a gentle reminder of what should be happening outside (soo sad I know)..

I have been a regular Scentsy user up until this point, and probably would have continued to purchase Scentsy had I not discovered Grace Note Gifts. In discovering Grace Note Gifts what I found was that not only were the scents much better in my opinion, but also a lot more affordable as well! Each individual bar of soy wax created by Grace Note Gifts cost approximately $3.50. Grace the owner routinely offers up discount codes to use in her shop on her instagram account as well as including codes within orders; and there are great discount packages available for purchase as well such as buy 3 for $10. Scentsy bars retail for $5 per bar with a shipping cost of $10 per order, my personal shipping cost with my order through Graces Etsy store on the buy 3 for $10 was only $4 bringing my grand total to $14! Another major plus in ordering from this fab indie vendor is the fact that upon request she is able to do custom orders, something that is awesome considering sometimes we become really partial to certain scents which might become discontinued or maybe we might just have a really specific scent in mind such as Lychee!!
The wax: an "All natural, richly scented soy wax melts made using high quality fragrance oil, for use in any wax tart warmer. Included in each tart container are 6 (1/2) ounce cubes for a total weight of 3 oz. per container. " Whats the difference between this and my scentsy wax? well first off this is nothing like scentsy wax! not in the least..I would say this is a lot more potent as far as scent goes, it does last longer than my scentsy cubes, and one of the other very noticeable differences is the fact that this wax is not pliable. What do I mean? well have you ever noticed that when you finish a scentsy cube you can just take a knife to the cooled wax, make an air pocket under it and out it pops? That will not happen with this wax. You either need to get this wax out with a cloth while it is still in liquid form or chip away at it (I do not recommend that).
