Long overdue/Hauls in hindsight

Hi hello to the handful of you probably looking at this wondering if I'm ever going to update! *waves* I've been in a bit of a funk lately and I'm not quite sure why but I think that my trip to B&BW's today, seeing and hearing all the Christmas stuff snapped me out of my funk. 

I've gone time and time again since my last post and I took pictures but when it came time to blog it out, for some reason, I fell short. If I may say so myself, I am loving the winter stuff. Without further ado, my hauls.

Soaps! (With a side of sanitizers)


More soaps!

This was with the second soap haul, these are the freebies from it. The travel sizes came from the Facebook promo (I was Pink Chiffon, PIC was Be Enchanted. LOL) and the candle was my free item up to $13

Last 2/$22 and Cider Lane was in the 50% section, last one this store had! Score!
It goes without saying that I love the Snow Day candle. It reminded me of a much tamer Twisted Peppermint with a hint of spruce which is essentially, if you read the scent notes, what it's supposed to be. It smells lovely burning. I've gone through a Mason Jar and a almost finished a 3 wick so I had to get more. Cider Lane is like a prepared cup of Alpine Apple Cider, so amazing. 

The first 2/$22 of the "Winter", but only the Snow Day and White Barn candles were out for Winter stuff. 
Fireside, if I take too big a smell it almost like an ashtray. LOL that doesn't sound very enjoyable, but actually it's basically like what you'd smell after putting out the fire, opposed to sitting next to it. I like the fire type scents so I'll give it a go. Harvest Gathering is almost a generic Fall type scent with pumpkin, spice and apple. I think I went over the winter ones before.


2 transactions involving a free item with $15 purchase and a free body care with $10 purchase. Cider Lane was $10 (50% off) and the Mason Jars 2/$15 with the free item being the third. Score, and score. 

Merry Cookie is essentially as it sounds, like sugar cookies! Cinnamon Frosting makes me think of Cinnamelts from McDonald's.

And today! My Twisted Peppermint body care was on reserve because one of the managers told me they've sold out in two days before so I wasn't taking any chances. Just happened to be a lucky day for me as when I checked my email on the way over, I saw that candles were on sale so I had to  make a pit stop at home for another coupon. My beloved Twisted Peppermint. <3

Whew, I know I didn't cover everything, some of it is just as the label says, like Red Velvet Cupcake. Ugh so good. But there's a lot of stuff here and I had to get that all posted or it was gonna drive me up the wall. 

PS - I did try out my Twisted Peppermint TMC, after a year long wait (I could not get one last year) and it's gorgeous smelling, my only gripe so far is that the smell doesn't last that long. Boo.
