Errands

Today, I had to run a few errands before work so I popped into B&BW since I was in the neighborhood they had already put out some winter stuffs. I found a couple more new PocketBacs, some of the 3 wick candles which are currently available online and Limoncello decanter hand lotion which PIC and I were not a fan of upon trying the tester. 

My small little haul found above. Sorry for the crap quality photo. I really ought to dig out my good camera sometime. Anyway, I hoped for Mason Jars of the winter candles since they were 2/$15 but no such luck. The pickings for said size in candles were extremely slim though so I made do as is. The room sprays (cute right?!) are Tis The Season which I am dubbing Christmas in a can, and Vanilla Snowflake which has an interesting smell that I'm not sure how I feel about. PIC likes it a lot. 

I know I said I was still focused on Fall, but I don't know. I miss winter and winter stuffs make me happy when I'm down.

Hand sanitizers pictured are: Fresh Sparkling Snow (I just had to have more), Pearberry Cuddles, Strawberry Smooches and Sugared Vanilla Wish.

So here's some thoughts about some of the stuff I sniffed today. Though an avid shopper of B&BW (I've really calmed down a lot since discovering them though!) I started a bit late into the Christmas game and didn't even THINK to smell the candles. I still don't know why. I was awkward and didn't know what I was doing. This time around, I am enjoying it.

In no particular order:
  • Snow Day: I was excited by the scent notes but the smell itself on cold throw was sort of weird. It's a clean, minty scent with a slightly sweet vanilla and a pine/spruce thing. It feels sort of smattered together. Maybe it smells better burning? I didn't hate it so I know I'll buy at least one.
  • Sparkling Icicles: The wax on this baby is gorgeous.. The smell is okay. It reminds me a lot of Paris Daydream. I'll probably pass on this one for myself but I know someone who might like this one.
  • Vanilla Snowflake: This was another weird smatter of scents that just feel weird cozied together as they are. I will probably buy one anyway. Coconut and Mint seem weird together but hey it might work?
  • Tis the Season: Christmas. Period. Can I marry it? I'm just saying.
  • Winter: Also awesome amazing sauce reminds me of my backyard in the winter time. Just so fresh and clean.
  • Fresh Balsam: This one honestly choked me out. I'm thinking the Eucalyptus is way too strong on it. I'll smell the White Barn version before passing completely judgment.
  • Frosted Cranberry: Smells of tart cranberries. 
I know most of these are holiday staples that everyone is familiar with but I am loving experiencing this for the first time. 

New on Saturday

A little more new.

Hi, hello.

There's been a surprising lack of posts from me lately for which I do apologise. When it rains, it pours. I'm having a lot of trouble dedicating any time to my blogging. Life getting in the way and so forth. Despite my favourite time of year, I'm not in the best of spirits these days but I'm hoping that'll change before the weather does. At any rate, here's the new stuff I found online today. 

The soaps were actually there yesterday, but not appearing under the "Shop All" section which is how I missed them, you had to go under each type of soap to find them. Today, that is remedied.

B&BW Online: More Winter newness

At this point back home, it'd be feeling nice and crisp, but I'm still boiling, come on light jacket weather, as that's all I can hope for!

   

Lastly, and although probably a bit late, the rest of Amber Blush:
