~ TARTS WITH HEARTS ~
Isn't that the cutest thing you have ever seen? I bet it is the best smelling gift you would ever receive!
Jamie from Tarts With Hearts was kind enough to send me 3 separate tarts to review. I am a HUGE scent-lover and, for me, the stronger the better! I sent in a request and she was very kind and professional. I received the tarts within just a few days!
When I went to my post office, I was excited to see a package. I was wondering who it was from, but before I could read the sender's address, I could SMELL some wonderful scents. I knew it had to be from Tarts With Hearts! Sure enough, it was! WOW! If I could smell them that strongly from inside a padded envelope (without even opening the envelope), I was only imagining what kind of scent it would put throughout my house. Well the answer is AN AMAZING SMELL!
I was able to try Jack Frost, Amish Quilt, and Amazing Apple Pie! I really enjoyed all three scents, but I think my absolute favorite was Amazing Apple Pie. Smelled so delicious and the best part is that this ONE tart lasted for TWO WHOLE DAYS - and not just a hint of smell but a BIG BANG of smell all day BOTH days! Trust me, I know tarts, and I have NEVER found any others to be this strongly scented and especially ANY that last TWO WHOLE DAYS!
She has a great list of scents that I am definitely going to try - like Monkey Farts (bananas, strawberries, pineapples, bubble gum - come on - it has to smell great), Banana Nut Bread, and the Spiced Wassail (this is one of Jamie's favorites, so I have to try it).
Anyhow, Jamie was kind enough to answer a few questions that I thought everyone would be interested in. Here they are, and keep reading to learn how you can enter to win a gift bag of 5 tarts!
**QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION WITH JAMIE OF TARTS W/ HEARTS**
What made you become interested in starting your own business with tarts?
~Tarts are my very favorite way to add wonderful scent to my home. I was spending a lot of money on tarts that were either not strong enough or just didn’t last long enough. So I figured that perhaps I could make them at home for myself. I started and practiced and practiced until I got the right combination of scent to wax to make them they way I like them, STRONG and Long Lasting. When my friends and family heard about me making tarts and tried them, they wanted to buy them from me. So what started out as a hobby became a business. I am a stay at home mom so it is nice to have a little something for myself and that is probably why I enjoy making the tarts as much as I do burning them.
How long have you been in business?
~On January 16, 2010, I celebrated the one year anniversary of my very first tart order.
What are YOUR favorite scents?
~That is a hard question… but I would have to say Amish Quilt, Spiced Wassail, Bayberry and Blueberry Cheesecake. (I love them all.)
Are you planning to have a store, other than online, in the future?
~Not right now but you never know what the future holds. If I would get a lot of customers and demand, it could be something that happens in the future.
What are a few things you want your customers to know, either about you and/or your business?
~The reason why I chose to use 100% Soy Wax is because it is not an oil based product and soy is grown in the US, so by choosing soy you are supporting the American Farmer, which I think is important. Also, I make my tarts VERY strong and I know that there are people who do not like the strong scents as well as I do, so I can tame them down a little if someone would ask me to do that. I try to do whatever you want to make the tarts the way you like them. Lastly, I know that shipping charges are high, but if you take into consideration that a lot of people that use my tarts use the SAME tart for 2-3 days, even with the shipping charges, you are getting your monies worth. No one has money to waste these days and I want people that trust me to make the tarts for their homes to get their monies worth. With Tarts w/ Hearts I truly believe that once you give them a try … you’ll be happy that you did. They are tarts from my home…. To yours.
