With Semi-Annual Sale nearing the end, and Fall Previews sneaking out everywhere, you may be wondering WHEN will we ALL see Fall in our stores?

With Semi-Annual Sale nearing the end, and Fall Previews sneaking out everywhere, you may be wondering WHEN will we ALL see Fall in our stores?
These are a few of the tables in my store and even though they are picked through from more price reductions, I found three Fine Fragrance Mists I wanted to buy...without a coupon. Most of my purchases during this sale have been without a coupon. I used the ten off of forty coupon on my initial large day one purchase and I didn't want to miss out on the other mists I wanted so I grabbed them as they reduced slowly. Most at 50% off. I thought about buying online, and every time a flash sale or deal happened, I passed and shopped in store. With so many businesses not faring well after last year, I would hate to see this mall B&BW store shutter for lack of sales.
Today's purchase was a returned from online purchase because the customer didn't like the scent ( and yes it was sprayed and tried but because it was a sealed unit I bought it) Denim and Daises FFM, a Strawberry Soda FFM even though that is definitely that plain Strawberry scent from last year, and a Cherry Limeade FFM. I paid $4.95 for each mist. And yes!!! It was so very tempting with all of the tables of 75% off lotions and shower gels...but I am sticking to my plan of using down those things I have -- destash the extra new things I have -- and buy only Fine Fragrance Mists. Granted, the scents do change a bit from form to form...but I want to clear out what I have...while enjoying some new. And FALL AND HOLIDAY is around the corner.
This is the list of what will be 75% off on Monday, June 28th at Bath and Body Works stores. Some items have been at this pricing and others are moving to that price point.

New Homebody Body Care Collection
When I know the scent names and forms available more clearly, I will update this post.
Because I had packages to post, I ran a few errands this morning and one of those errands was to stop by my mall and check out what the price points on the reductions of collections would be at Bath and Body Works.
Shared with me on Instagram, Here is a sneak peek of some actual bottles of Bath and Body Works Halloween Hand Soaps.

This was my small Day Six of the Semi-Annual Sale purchase in my store. I saw that Bath and Body Works reduced some body care online so after the bank I went to see if anything changed.
New Bath and Body Works Garden Retreat Hand Soap Collection
On the lists I saw for New Body Care coming, one collection was
called the Green Hydration Aromatherapy Collection. It showed three
names, Hemp, Aloe, and Tea Tree and after seeing today's find, I believe
that these are a part of that collection.
Bath and Body Works shared a bit of the spooky earlier today with its Rewards APP Members and it all looks hauntingly wonderful. I have already shared the video and now I want to break down some of the items shown, and some of the information known.
A brief look at a few of the tables at Bath and Body Works Semi-Annual Sale, and how they have changed in a few days.
Day One Front Retired Table $4.95
Some New Paperwork showed these Store Updates that COULD happen - Friday, June 18th.
75% OFF New Additions
Retired Fragrances and Tropical Fragrances moving to $5.95 pricing. Sale Candles $12.95
My Bath and Body Works Day Four of the Semi-Annual Sale purchase.
I wanted the Denim and Daisies fragrance that I forgot to grab on Monday but the fragrance mists of almost all of the table scents were gone. This Firecracker Pop was the last mist there today. I grabbed the Endless Weekend to compare to the original scent I think I still have left. It is part of the 90's Reruns Collection currently.
Yesterday
Recently, I shared a blog post on a topic that stirs up controversy every single time: the Semi-Annual Sale and the constant frustration over resellers — you know, the ones who clear entire tables in one swoop. Year after year, the same cycle of unhappiness, anger, and blame.
So, I did what I do — I wrote. I shared my perspective on my blog, in my words, under my name. Not buried in a Facebook thread. Not hiding behind a screenname in some comment section. I clicked the keys in my own space, fully visible and fully accountable.
And yet... here we are again.
People dragging me — and my name — straight into one of the most performatively outraged spaces of all: Reddit. (Which, by the way, made me laugh, because most of them clearly didn’t actually red’ it. See what I did there?)
They inserted my name into someone else's angry rant about resellers and used my post as some kind of exhibit in their case against anyone who dares to see the issue from a different angle. I've since left Reddit — and good riddance. That place was toxic for me, and I’ve been scaling back my social media for the same reason many long-time sharers have - self-preservation.
Still, I see it. I hear about it. And I sometimes wonder if there's a single topic left on the internet that I haven’t been dragged into. It’s like there’s a running list somewhere:
“Oh, someone’s mad about inventory? Let’s mention that ‘Daily Finds’ girl again!”
And then the usual suspects show up — the same three or four screen names — stirring it up like it’s some kind of hobby.
Someone actually wrote:
“I just finished reading a blog post by that Daily Finds person taking up for [resellers], saying workers should be thankful and customers basically should be ashamed for being upset. I definitely unfollowed quick btw.”
And then another joins in. And another.
Pumpkin.
Blooming.
Suddenly it’s a full-blown petri dish.
Let me clear something up:
I never said customers should be ashamed.
That’s your projection. Not my words. Not my message.
My post was simply another way of looking at a situation — a perspective, not a manifesto. A possibility: maybe the person buying up product is doing it to support their family. Maybe they resell to stay afloat. Maybe they donate. Maybe they own a small shop. And yes, maybe they’re just enthusiastic shoppers.
Resellers aren’t murderers. The way some people talk, you’d think BBW needed a crime task force. I saw people suggesting the company should legally ban me from stores. All because I dared to write words on my own page, using my own name, about my own take. Lovely community, isn’t it?
But I’m the snarky one?
You want to know what’s snarky? Saying I cry over everything. Saying I make myself a victim. Saying I’m “always acting better than everyone.”
I cry for humanity. For what online behavior has become. For the way people rip strangers apart because they’re so consumed by their own bitterness, they don’t know what else to do.
I don’t pretend to be better than anyone. I’ve never claimed that. I just write. I share what I know about a brand I’ve followed for years. That’s it. If that makes you uncomfortable, ask yourself why. You chose to read. You chose to twist. You chose to hate someone you’ve never even met.
So don’t be surprised when the stones you throw are returned.
Today
Today's visit
to Bath and Body Works netted me three more bottles of fine fragrance
mist. And from Monday until today, four days later, my store has
emptied out substantially. Gone are most of the mists...not only from
the 75% off table...but everywhere. I may have to order a few that are
online still since I forgot them on Monday's visit when everything was
filled up.
Tomorrow
Store Updates that COULD happen -
75% OFF New Additions for Friday, June 18th
Retired Fragrances and Tropical Fragrances moving to $5.95 pricing.
Sale Candles $12.95As I am catching up on my other work needing to be finished I have been taking breaks and reading social media posts while checking out others hauls. Goodness y'all got some great things at your stores, congrats.
Here is a look at some of the Semi Annual Sale tables at my Bath and Body Works Store. Everything looked great in here today, and it was pleasurable grabbing a few things on sale this first day. I will share any new finds when I visit again!
Here is my first purchase from the Bath and Body Works June 2021 Semi Annual Sale. Ten Fine Fragrance Mists. Most were marked half off of the price ticket, ($7.75) and the Cherry Blossom was priced ($4.95). Forever Red was a select price of ($7.00).
I started out my Semi-Annual Sale day with the list in hand I said everyone should make. Made from going through my cabinets of body care and candles, all with the thought of I really do not NEED a thing. I don't. But there were some things I did WANT, and they were what was on this list.
The New Bath and Body Works Celebratory Story Body Care Collection landed online this week and with Semi-Annual Sale beginning tomorrow in all stores, I am looking forward to grabbing a few scents to try.
