Candles
Every single time I go to the Mall, I need to make a pit stop at Bath and Body Works, even if I'm not going to buy anything. Why? Because IT SMELLS SO GOOD! So for the past week or so I've been going in and out of B&BW just like that and decided I definitely need to purchase something.
B&BW is definitely one of my favourite stores, that I barely purchase from LOL.
Anyways, lately I have found a newfound obsession with candles. Well it's not really newfound, my previous roommates always had such amazing scented candles, pretty sure they're the ones that got me hooked! I've bought a couple Yankee Candles, which are quite loved and well known. They're scents are amazing but I've noticed the candle kind of had a tunnelling effect (Read about it here) which I absolutely detest, because it feels like such a waste of a candle!
Having a candle in my room is definitely one of my trademarks, but lately I had been noticing my candles disappearing from my room. Turns out my brother had been lighting my candles and been putting them in his room! I confronted him and he admitted he liked having his room fragrant like vanilla icing (LOL). I asked him if he'd like me to buy him a candle and he kind of refused, thinking it'd be a girly thing to say yes to, but I had decided that I was going to go get my brother his own personal candle.
So, Last weekend I went to B&BW with the intents and purposes to purchase candles. When I got there, I was welcomed with the huge whiff of different scents and a B&BW worker who greeted me and asked me if I needed help for anything. I told her at the moment I'm just looking for candles in which she responded, If I needed any help she'd help me and told me the specials that were available. During the period I went 2 for 25.50/3-wick Candles deal was going on which was perfect, although I feel like they have been on sale for cheaper. 3 wick candles are truly heaven-sent in my opinion, you definitely don't 'have that tunnelling effect and the candle goes down evenly when set to dry or even being used, perfect for the OCD girl inside of me! So I was glad, I had walked into a deal.
When the associate left I got to work. I kid you not I must have smelt like 25 candles in there trying to decide which one I should buy. For me candles must have THREE qualities : Visually appealing, Strong Scent Payoff and Long Lasting. Personally, I enjoy sweet scents (obsessed with vanilla icing candle by Yankee Candles), so the first one I set on was Vanilla Bean Marshmallow, it smell so amazing and sweet, I knew I had to had it. Buying the second one, I kind of had an issue. It was so hard to choose! Bath and Body Works is one of those stores, where you'd walk in and want to get everything and thats the clear dilemma I was experiencing. I approached Nicole (the sales associate) and asked her in her opinion or knowledge which candle has the highest scent pay off. She directed me to about five candles which I began smelling. Out of the five I chose Coconut leaves as it had the most fragrant and pleasing scent. I thought my brother would like this one and grabbed it.
There I had it, my two choices, Vanilla Bean Marshmallow and Coconut leaves 3-wick candles, for 25.50 + applicable taxes which would have made my bill for 28.82 BUT since I have an SPC card(student price card) I was discounted 10% from the original price which made my bill $25.93 CDN.
I came home and presented my brother with the two options and to my surprise he chose the
Vanilla Bean Candle! I ended up giving the Coconut Leaves for household use and honestly they're not everyone's favourites! Every morning the Coconut Leaves Candle is lit because of its amazing scent. I don't get to smell it a lot since it's hidden in my brothers room, but when I do pass by his house it smells amazing!
Bath and Body Works PocketBac Anti-Bacterial Hand Gel
Now the real reason I go to B&BW is for these little guys! Hand sanitizers can also be found at the dollar store but I most definitely enjoy the different colour and scents they offer! And in my opinion they last quite some time! The last time I bought these were last summer and 3 lasted me the entire year! I went into Bath and Body Works yesterday just to check out some mother's day deals, and saw that they had there 3-wick candles 2 for $34.00 which shocked me! But I was so glad I purchased them at the right time!
Now these hand sanitizers are located at the back of the store where you can purchase your merchandise. My usual favourite are pink chiffon, and strawberry shortcake but I thought this time around I should probably choose something different. Bath and Body Works had these little guys 3/$5.00 which averages out to $1.67 per 29 ml bottle! This time I decided to get Hawaiian Pink Hibiscus, Magnolias and Mimosas, and Maui Mango Mai Tai.
Two of the scents I purchased are very tropical. I love mangoes and it's most definitely my favourite fruit, so when I saw that this was offered, I smelled it right away and was taken away by the scent. It has most definitely captured the essence of the mango and took me back to summer, so it was a summer MUST HAVE! Hawaiian Pink Hibiscus definitely is a very tropical scent. On the website it states that it is intoxicating blend of hibiscus petals & pink guava which definitely takes you back to tropical paradise! Magnolias and mimosas is a very sweet, summery scent obviously which fits into my tastes. On the websites it is stated that it is a charming fragrance of magnolia petals blended with sweet mimosa and creamy sandalwood.
Whatever it may be, I am clearly obsessed with Bath and Body Works and you should be too!
