Welcome to my new channel - South of Sanity Candles. I am obsessed with Halloween. The decorations, the lore, and the nostalgia of it from my youth. I will review Halloween related items and also candles. Halloween and fall candles are my passion. I collect them, burn them, and make them.
SouthofSanityCandles.com My website and store, mostly spooky and Halloween scented candles and wax melts.
I really hope your theory is correct on why Yankee Candle is not bringing back the Signature 2-Wick jars... I'm so disappointed because those are my favorite! 😩 I'm not a huge fan of the 2-Wick tumbler style. The lids always seem a bit loose and tend to not burn as evenly. And I know this is totally off topic, but do we ever get to see the complete tattoos on your arms? The suspense is killing me. I keep seeing flashes and from the little bit that I see, they look awesome! I think you showed a lot more last year... 😉 😜 🤤
@srainey7946 😆 if I show them I will have to put a 18+ warning on the vid. I'm pretty sure the "fluted" jars won't be back this year in the states. Not sure how long they will have them in the UK though. 🎃
This is my first time watching one of your videos. At first I thought something that you were wearing like a cape collar was sticking out on either side, but then I realized it was the back your chair.🤣 I have to get my eyes checked. Thanks for the reviewing without bashing any of them. Everyone has different scent preferences for sure. Pumpkin Cinnamon Swirl does sound good. I see they have the new ones in the 6 pack wax melts online now and I’m going to pick a few of those up when they go on sale.
Thanks for this review! Really hoping they do something with Halloween, I just want the old glory Halloween days they used to have that I missed out on
The last couple years Yankee's Fall lineups have been nothing special. I'm wondering what they'll do for Halloween this year still haven't seen anything. I'm hoping they have some new scents that are actually spooky and would be nice if they brought them back in paraffin large jars.
Pumpkin Cinnamon Swirl sounds good! I will get that in a melt cup. I am hoping they put a lot more effort into Halloween this year, but hopes not high anymore 😢.
Thank you for sharing your story with us. There are many of us that struggle with similar issues and it's a comfort to know that we are not alone. I can totally relate with the comfort that candles can bring us. And the wax melts that you have created on your website sound absolutely amazing! I think you have created every single scent that anyone could possibly want for Halloween or Fall. 🎃😀 You are truly a God send. 😘👍🏻
Wow thank you!!!! It's not about the money because I haven't made any yet lol 😆 I just love Halloween related scents and wanted some available for anyone with similar tastes. 🎃 🎃 🎃
Are you for real?? Never thought I would see another person with, not only the same, but MORE Halloween candles than me. And strangely, there is so much enjoyment and looking at your collection. Unreal. And I love it.
It's crazy how you say, "I have to move these to the front..." Exactly what I do with my shelf with each season. "Trick or Treat and Witches' Cauldron...". Okay, I officially love you. I think you share my Halloween insanity. Can you move to Idaho please? I am originally from California but wound up here somehow. We would just mesh beautifully.
Well, I am in Star, ID. If you ever visit, we could live in Halloween candles and movie bliss. Buffy, Supernatural, Tales From the Crypt, Vampire Diaries, The Originals, and every nostalgic movie from my youth... Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Pumpkinhead, Silver Bullet, The Howling, Fright Night, Creepshow... Come on! I already know I love you so you just need to get over here... 😁👍🏻😘🎃
It’s so comforting to know there are others out there that find joy and peace in candles and wax melts. I too have anxiety and my candles and wax melts bring me calmness Thanks for sharing. 😊
Enjoying Summer Witch from the boxed collection! What a smooth blend. The box itself was also a big hit with the Birthday Girl. We will keep ‘up next’ melts, wick trimmer, and matches in the box! Next up is Tomato Scarecrow!! B&K
Thank you for sharing your story. I too was an alcoholic and would binge every single weekend. Got tired of feeling like shit the next day and the older I got the longer the recovery period was. Went to rehab in '16 & sober ever since. Also lost both my parent early on. You're truly an inspiration to a lot of people. Love your collection BTW.
The only way I get through Summer is by thinking of it as the gateway to Halloween. I did get a few candles from the Goose Creek sale. I got their Sweet Iced Tea candle and it's nice but it can't hold a candle (pun intended) to your Mad Hatter's Tea Party! I got some of those jungle ones also because I liked the black jars and I'm quite enjoying those. But really I'm just waiting for 🎃🎃🎃
This was sooooo good! Loved seeing your amazing collection, thank you for doing this! And wow, I can relate to everything you said. Halloween and fall scents really are such a comfort and the first thing I go to when I feel my anxiety spiraling out of control - it helps! I have my little sanctuary of olfactory bliss and it's made a big difference in my life. And I have you to thank for some of the best scents I have! 🖤🎃🖤
I'm so sorry to hear about your past (the lost of your parents and your past addiction). It's beautiful how candles helped you with the struggles you had and the anxiety. Congrats on the sobriety! Starting a youtube channel is not easy. Putting yourself out there is hard. After having my kids I dealt with depression. I decided to start a channel (and do something I wanted to do for years) instead of taking pills. So I understand. I'm glad you find a way to express your true self. I love you personality, I think you are awesome! Your collection is a testimony to your courage and the beautiful person you are.
Wow, thank you. I can't think of the words to thank you for that kind message. I can't wait to see what you have in store for this Halloween season though! 🎃 🎃 🎃
The world is coming to an end!!!! You got Summer candles?? 😂😅 I do buy a few but I hate Summer and am ready for the heat and nasty storms to go bye bye. Some of the scents though are really good. YC Summer Scoop and Fudge Ripple are two faves as well as KC Fiji and Vanilla Cone. Nice haul!
Amazingly organized, impressive collection of Autumn and Halloween candles! Thank you for sharing your story. I think many of us candle lovers find so much enjoyment and comfort with our candles. So excited to see the SOS lineup this year! 👻💜🎃🖤
BBW has a blueberry crumble candle coming out tomorrow, if it’s not out already. I was never into peach candles but bought their pink peach blossom candle & it smells just like a peach jolly rancher to me. I’m really enjoying it. I’m ready for call tho for sure! PS: I like the intro music
Thanks for sharing! We find watching candle content comforting. One of us has become disabled so we don’t get out except for Dr visits. Keep on pouring wax and talking about candles and spooky stuff, it helps others and we hope you continue to find comfort in wax! Your collection tour was great! You have been busy the last few years! What a comprehensive reference base of fragrance combos!! All the best! B & K
Amazing collection, Virgil! I absolutely enjoyed your tour of the Halloween candles. So organized and pretty 🕷 So happy that candles can bring you so much joy and calmness in your life. Money well spent, for sure. 🖤
Virgil! Thank you for sharing your collection and your story. It's always illuminating (teehee) to hear about why we're all so drawn to Halloween candles- I loved hearing about your associations. And my condolences for your loss. That trick or treat black band.... oh my glob. the jack o lantern washington wicks at 10:13 label is amazing. what's the name of that candle? also I've never seen those little mason jar ones.
I find Halloween candles comforting also. I live across the country from my family and the scents remind me of being with them. Good old nostalgia. Your collection is fantastic! I am proud of you for putting yourself out there. Watching your videos brings me comfort also. Thank you.
So glad to see the collection, lots of good memories seeing some of those older ones, like snapshots in time. 😊 can’t wait to see what is in store for this year! 🎃😸👻🍂🍁
Great collection! Saw a lot of stuff from smaller companies i never heard of that looked really cool! DId you ever get to try out absinthe minded wicks back in the day? They had some crazy good halloween and spooky candles, some of my favs of all time from them, wish they would come back since i only have a quarter of each of my favs left that ill never get to burn. Some crazy pulls in this collection too, the old kringle halloween jars are so cool, i need to get one of those old witches cauldron jars! 🎃
Thank you! I started collecting after Absinthe Minded Wicks quit making them. I would love to have some, but very hard to find. The older Kringle Witches Cauldrons smell way better!!! I don't know why. 🎃🎃🎃
@@SouthofSanityCandles Im a total believer that they toned down the smoke in the later iterations of witches cauldron, side by side last years compared to the 2021 pours is almost night and day, and ive even heard that the 2019-2021 pours dont compare to the original so its definitely my white whale candle!
Wow, thank you! Glad you like watching. Never thought I would ever do these, but I really got into The Candle Enthusiasts videos, but he's on break and I miss his videos. 🎃
Huh... very interesting I. I would love it if they came out with an official halloween line! These do have very spooky scent notes... much more exmperimental than what I associate woodwick with.
The ghost design is amazing. I'm not mad at the witch either. Wanted to get ahold of the white ghost for awhile now but the black matte ghost might just be better. Ben Cooper is quintessential Halloween to me. Very cool of NECA to release these. Might have to go hunt this stuff down one day. 👻
Whooo-whooooo-eeeeeiik- thunderclap- creaking floorboards in the darkness-what’s that smell!!?!? Death? Rot? Mold? Damp? Looking forward to the scent images you’ve created!!!
Hypnoflora sounds interesting. I snooped some UK sites and tonka bean is added to the jasmine and pear scent description. Looking forward to smelling that!
