Long time no post!

Hey guys! I got a lot on my plate right now so posting's been a proper pain but I am still at it.

I've got a couple things. First, check your mailboxes! There's a coupon going out for a free mini candle and 20% off. (You never know if you may get the Forever Midnight sample voucher too! I was not able to get one but I smelled it and I'm not too bothered by this. I want Amber Blush more.)

Check your email!

$10 off $30 good thru September 8th, same as the bounceback. If you've run out, this is a good substitute to keep hoarding those surveys! 

And lastly, on Facebook, remember that offer for the free Beautiful Day EDT sample? They're doing it as I figured they would for Amber Blush:

PIC and I each redeemed one, after I bought one, same as last time. Heh!

And the haul. Mini haul rather. I don't like only going in to redeem something free - I wanted to at least try Sexy Dahlia Rush proper before it went away as I kept smelling it in store and finally got intrigued so that was my excuse to go in yesterday. The other items were free with the coupons I've mentioned above. 

As for Sexy, I understand why it didn't sell well really. To me, it's the better smelling one of the two, it's got a fruity exterior layered with spicy vanilla which in theory would be amazing. If it had any staying power at all. Last night, I tried the shower gel and the TMC. The shower gel is mostly fruity, somewhat grape-ish and isn't strong at all. the TMC was quite strong on the spice note, providing some lasting fragrance. I was pleased with the TMC. This morning, I tried the mini lotion (not pictured) from another Facebook freebie in the past, and I was disappointed. The scent is barely there, doesn't last and it's not the greatest feeling lotion in existence. 

As for the FFM, it's a lot less on the fruity, and a hot mess of floral and spice. Little less floral than I expected. To me it feels like this scent was rushed to finish. I think they could've done better, which to be fair, is why it's now discounted a month after release and you probably won't see it again after SAS. I'll finish mine as it's not omgterrible as I make it sound. I should reiterate that it's not a bad smell, it just feels like it wasn't well planned or thought out. The scent notes seems a little jumbled and like they're just thrown together. 

While I am thinking about it, while in store yesterday, I did find one new candle - Roasted Pumpkin Butter. Oh delish! I was sad that it wasn't in Mason Jar form or I would've gotten it and used a $10 off $30 instead. I think yesterday was the first time I'd ever used a coupon that wasn't spend x, get free item, or $10/$30. Crazy! 

Lastly, Tess has some of the winter soaps on her page now, you can find them here. 

I will say that I am quite adamant about taking my time during the holidays. I know that stuff hits shelves, not just in B&BW but all over the retail scene a couple months before said holiday, but I can't honestly bring myself to rave about these winter products yet. Am I excited? Oh hell yeah. Am I done with Fall? Oh hell no. I am barely started. But I digress, big thank you to Tess for the information! A small little part of me is squeeing silently, I assure you.

Sales, sales, sales

Hey guys!

Here's a list of the current promos going on at B&BW. 

• Buy 3, Get 3 Signature Collection
• 2/$12 Fresh Picked Body Care (lotions/shower gels)
• $6 Fresh Picked Hardworking creams
• 2/$15 Mason Jar Candles 

And the rest is usual. I'll be off now, but not before leaving some coupons behind.

Online code is TREATME30

I got two emails, same coupon all except the online code is different. TREATME50 for free shipping on $50 and over.

Ends today.

Internet outages are AWESOME...not.

Hey guys! So it as it happens, my internet was down all day. It appears to be working again for the time being. I say that because apparently this happened a couple nights ago when I was at work too. 

So, a lot's going on. We lost one of our baby girls a couple nights ago when I was at work. She had been sick for a while and she finally left us Wednesday night. Sadface. 

On Facebook, B&BW is offering up a free Sweet or Sexy travel size lotion. 

 Good thru August 11th

I went over to B&BW and claimed my free Sexy Dahlia Rush just to try it out. To be clear, I don't really care much for either on bottle huff but it's free, so I thought why not at least give it a shot? I sure won't pay for it though. It kind of reminds me of like, Secret Wonderland and Dark Kiss. Like maybe their love child or something. There's some big floral notes in there, not thrilled about it, but it's not a terrible fragrance and actually smells pretty on my skin. I'm passing on the rest though. Bring me Fall traditions! So excited!

Now, what's in store for us? There was a candle sale rumoured for tomorrow, but that is not meant to be. I'm sure most everyone is aware by now, especially with the fact that my internet was out all day, I'm the last to know...LOL. We actually have a Buy 2, Get 1 Free ANYTHING in the store.

One day only. 

Also floating around out there is a $4 TMC coupon.

Good thru August 12th.

And that's a wrap for now!

Coupons/sales

Hi, hello!

Today marks the Made in America floorset. I type this as I am getting ready to head to my local B&BW right now to take a look

They've decided to bless us with a 5/$15 & 7/$20 handsoap deal today. 

Also they emailed a coupon below for those who don't get their emails.

Free Signature Collection Item ($12.50) with a $10 purchase. Not different then the previous bouncebacks but if you ran yourself out of those (i.e. me.) or don't feel like making a $30 purchase, this is for you. There's also an online code SWEETNSEXY for the free item + free shipping when you spend $50 or more. 

Happy shopping!

Lovely little coupon!

Hey guys!

If you're a regular recipient of B&BW emails, head on over to your inbox for a nifty little coupon.

Valid thru August 4th. Remember not to share your codes unless you are okay with them being used by someone else because these are one time use uniques! Happy shopping my lovelies!

Pumpkin Preview + Codes/Coupons

Hey guys! Looks like the Pumpkin Preview is a go. Make sure you call your store before going to make sure they are participating. Sadly I won't be going until this afternoon 'cause PIC works until 4. 

The Ceramic Pumpkin can be gotten for $6 right now with any $20 purchase when you use 

FIRSTPICK

Free PocketBac with purchase of clip.

Free Aromatherapy shower gel or lotion with $20 home fragrance purchase

Forever Red lotion or shower gel with any $20 signature collection purchase.

Not the best in the world but the candle sale is over! However the free aromatherapy one might be good if you're only going to get one candle.

Amazing what you can miss in a couple days!

Hi, hello. I've got a consolidated update going here. Excuse any typos that may make it through as I normally post from a laptop but am presently on the desktop. With SAS winding down, there's lots to look forward to.

B&BW sent out a coupon today.

Good thru July 7th. Ran out of surveys, saving them, don't feel like filling them out? They've got ya covered with this dandy little number.

Also going at the moment is Buy 3, Get 3 Free on signature collection items until July 7th.

Still running of course are SAS promotions such as B2G2 TBS, B2G1 Aromatherapy, and the like.

Cia posted a big review of upcoming newness over at her blog several days ago, it's a nice nutshell of the lovely things to come upon the conclusion of SAS and beyond. B&BW website also has a placeholder for Forever Midnight, or rather, a teaser type deal. 

Summer Chill has hit the main page in the last couple days. This isn't everything as there will be a cooling shimmer spray in these scents too. Not a bad deal if you do B3G3 but waiting for it in store might be a better option, especially as you can smell it for yourself before blindly buying unless you have been lucky enough to get a sniff at your local store.

New hand soaps have also hit the website and are available for 4/$15, 6/$20. Apple Mango presently has a matching PocketBac.

B&BW will also be bringing in some candles (plus room sprays/wallflowers) that I've only seen as online exclusive through my time shopping but have gotten wallflowers for some of. These include:

• Coconut Lime Verbena
• Caribbean Salsa
• Seaside Escape
• Tropical Spice
• Passionflower

Brandon @ B&BW News covers that + the soaps linked above before their launch it would appear.

 

Tess at Life Inside The Page has a list on her blog of the nourishing body bars that have been released for TBS, plus new upcoming scents that will have shower smoothies to go with them in addition to updates on the Summer collections releasing July 8th.

• New- blueberry vanilla
• New- pineapple papaya
• New- Strawberry banana
• raspberry
• mango butter
• honeydew kiwi

 New PocketBacs:

• I love cinnamon buns
• I love s'mores
• I love pumpkin
• fresh strawberries

Large Sanitizers are going to include:

• Fresh Strawberries
• Zebra Zippy Punch

 

Also according to Cia and Tess, Forever Sunshine is making a limited time comeback available in lotion, shower gel, TMC and FFM. It's already an online exclusive but if you're like me and want to smell before you buy, here's your chance.

 

Phew. I think that's mostly everything. I would've just copied and pasted all the pumpkin stuff but everyone else already has the info so I just thought I'd link to it. Big thank you to the bloggers who work tirelessly to provide us with this information! We have a lot of newness coming soon and with Fall right around the corner, we are going to have a busy year by the looks of it!

DOD: $4 Body Cream

And today's deal of the day, coupon required of course is $4 body cream. 

This is okay if you want to just pop in and grab one or two imo. I may pick up a Pure Paradise for someone's Christmas gift but other than that, I'm not all that excited.

$10 0ff $40, $10 3 Wick Candles

Per the new email today, there's a "new" coupon, and a "new" deal. 

 

If anyone shopped B&BW extensively before SAS, you probably have a ton of the flyers already with this coupon on it. 

Also, select 3 Wick Candles are $10. Looking at the website, it looks like it's only the ones they were originally charging $11 for anyway, nothing special. No Lakeside or Destination Collection, no AT ES, nothing of note. 

No newness here! Sadly.
