Shared 12/22/24 1/4 - 1/6 - 1/10 - 1/13 - 1/17 SALE- 2/2 SALE-

Just around the corner 4.26.13

The week here weather-wise has been extraordinary.  Warming spring temperatures and blue skies with just a touch of puffy white clouds make for some really wonderful days spent outdoors.  Spring is here, finally....  and that means summer is just around the corner.



Bath and Body Works has been keeping us all pretty busy these past four months with many new and some re-launched fragrances.

So far we have had:


  • 1.14 escape to the tropics Paradise collection 
  • 2.4 Forever Red & Sweetheart collection
  • 3.4 Fresh Picked & Wild Garden collection
  • 4.1 Beautiful Day & Bella Italy

  • And now we have another new signature item coming next month, Pure Paradise as well as a brief re-launch of Malibu Heat.


  • 5.13 Pure Paradise & Malibu Heat

  • I don't know about you, but I do know that my closets are bursting with a ton of products and in taking an inventory of all that I have, any new products are going to have to be really special and unique for me to go overboard on them.  I loved all of the Bella Italia line.....as reflected in the numerous boxes on my shelves.

    I was told that the try me sized Pure Paradise could be in stores as soon as this weekend.  I know the launch was scheduled for just after Mothers Day but we all know that means it could also be pushed up a few days.  Maybe even in time for the May 4th Ultimate Gifts event.

    I am not a big fan of the gift for that day...Beautiful Day, so I am not sure that I will be heading out for that event.  I know the mothers day candle will be available also for one week that week and that (re-done) fragrance ~ Bright Bouquet~  is also not a favorite of mine so I will be passing on that too. 







    I think we tend to get wrapped up in the hoopla of things and purchase items because we think they are rare or we need to have at least one just to say we have it....rather than we need it. 

    Everyone ran to get the Christmas 2012 candle and they were (supposedly) sold out on Black Friday.  I was ill and didn't get to the store to get one.  When I asked that Saturday if there were any I was told they were all gone.  And not even a month later my store had them piled up on a table for sale for $10.00. (so much for one day only, and rare)  I bought three because I loved the apple spruce scent....not because it was dated.

    I did order the Mothers Day Milan VIP tote on the 18th and got that this past Monday so I am not worried about missing out on that purchase with purchase.  The price was great; just $20.00 with a $40.00 purchase...and if your a lover of all things BBW, then there is NO problem finding forty dollars worth of things to meet the requirements.  The bag is worth it.

    I need to make 6-7 Mothers Day gift baskets up so some of those items will come in handy.

    Also coming out for this May 13th time will be the Destinations Home Fragrance Collection.  A few new scents, and a few from last years collection.  And you never know if an old summer-time favorite candle from last year will return.

    Again, I am ready for the Fall Fragrance Collection.  Ha. ha.  When I inquired what was new in Ohio I was told that I was pretty much caught up for now with everything home wise.  The last new thing was the FRESH line of WF bulbs and after that....they are waiting word on the Fall test candles.

    Music to my ears.

    There are possibly a few new things here and there in the next few months....I know there are new Fresh Picked things coming and some True Blue soaps I am anxious for.  Maybe a summertime signature fill in pre- semi annual sale time.... Is anyone else wondering what will be for Halloween?  :)

    The Lakeside line (which some of is available) will have other products coming out,....especially wallflowers in summer themes.  I really want that lighthouse wallflower myself.

    So I guess that is it for now.  I am heading back outside soon to get my yard ready for spring planting....I want to be ready.  Summer is, just around the corner.
