Bath & Body Works | 2nd Collaboration - Bath & Body Works X Crocs Gingham Crocs, Scented Jibbitz, & Crocketbac

A few days ago, a pair of Gingham Crocs were shared on Reddit, found in shipment.  I knew eventually we would see a Crocs Collab...but when was still not determined.

Bath & Body Works | It Feels Like: Summer, Fall Preview, Halloween, Gourmand Body Care, and National Gingham Week App Preview


If you check your Member Rewards APP regularly, you may have noticed this morning a few updated photos sharing some of the Upcoming Collections.  The Halloween preview was my favorite.  The photo does not do the packaging justice.  I have said it before, the packaging labels are much more detailed this year, and I love how all of the forms come together in detail.



Bath & Body Works | Summer 3 & Fall Preview Floor Sets - Today Was The First Part

If you went to your store, (or checked online) today to see some of the New Fall Preview items and saw the Gingham Glow table, and The Gingham Collection table and wondered where is everything else?

Ya, me too.  If you saw the Fall Preview Candles online this morning, then disappear?

Yep, me too.

Then I remembered what I shared --- The first part of the floor set is done for release today, Monday, 6/24 and the next phase floor set will release Monday, 7/1.

I went to the mall yesterday and stopped in and grabbed a bunch of the new and came back today expecting to see everything...then I realized I knew it was split up.  My store does not yet have the Gourmand Scents Fall Preview out...which in a way is good.  To break things up.  I have already spent so much...still adding to it today...and when the hand soaps go on sale...and the pocketbacs.....

Then we will see the Gourmand Body Care....and Candles...and somewhere in there is Halloween releasing...and a few collabs...then more Fall.... I mean.....Then it will be Holiday....oh, geesh - in a few weeks my Hallmark order will come for Ornament Premier....

Yes, it's a good thing to spread out the spending.

Bath & Body Works | The Gingham Collection 2024 - Coming Soon - 6/24

We should see The Gingham Body Care Collections in store/online beginning Monday, 6/24 along with the hand soaps, pocketbacs, and Fall Preview Candles.  A few of the New items were showing up in the wall today but I am looking for the accessories most of all.  
 
My store is still pretty stocked full of Semi-Annual Sale 2024 items, so I am not sure how much longer these items will be around when the front tables get converted with the New.  After a quick glance at the bins today, I am not sure there is anything else I missed that I want before it ends.






 



Bath & Body Works | Halloween 2024 Candles Found And Shared





Halloween Candles Three Wicks

  • Candy Apple Cauldron - green label, sparkly apple motifs, eyes, hands, stars --SPECIAL LID (gold or silver) Center  detail looks like siren face (like looking under water?)
  • Everlasting Magic -
  • Vampire Blood - special lid - with a different label - silver skull on black background "glass?" lid with metal spider webs hang down on the edge (like a crown look)
  • Wicked Vanilla Woods - Gold  Color Jar  could be rose gold, SPECIAL LID with black textured base and Gold SNAKE around top and edge

Spooky Moontini - Skeletons partying - playing a rib guitar, a skull chello, a spine/hip horn, and one wearing a bow with a martini.  Black background around iridescent skeleton bodies, blue accents, musical notes on a purple background (purple wax) of skeleton heads. 

Ghoul Friend - Pink wax, purple label. More skeletons, some with purses, skirts done in pink accents, hearts, bows, as if they are dancing.  Gem rhinestone Heart center and garlands.

Vampire Blood - Black Background Bat White Skeletons - red label, red wax, moon

Pumpkin Carving - Skeleton bodies like the other candles, orange label with orange wax, skeletons have pumpkins imposed as their heads, beaded flowers...positioned as if they are walking/dancing.


Bath & Body Works | BOPIS & Store Purchases Of 75% Off - Banana Banaza Lip Balm & Elephant Cosmetic Bag

I did a small BOPIS order when the Semi-Annual Sale pricing dropped more items to 75% off...and the Banana Bananza Lip Care items were included.  I ordered two of the lip balms...but the more I thought about it, I did want to try the Nourishing Lip Masks.  Sadly, it showed as sold out in my store.

When I went in to pick up my order, I asked the associate which table had them on and after not finding any, a quick peek ( she did, not me) in under stock led to a small 6 pack find of them.  I grabbed four and I am glad I did, I really like this scent.  It reminds me of bubble gum with a hint of banana scent...and my lips feel soft and not so dried out.  It was so good, I paid full price for my first batch of lip balms.

The Pink Elephant bag also moved to 75% off, and the last one in the store for sale was missing the tail which opens the zipper....still worth the sale price.  I like their cosmetic bags to hold things like a huge banana lippie collection...Now I need a monkey bag!

Bath & Body Works | A Few Thoughts On Secrets And Buys....

EDIT 6/19 TO ADD THIS:

This blog post below was made in reference to a post made on Reddit late night 6/14, where an employee posted a picture of a pair is shoes and stated she thinks it will be a BBW Collab — and then wrote about another Collab she thinks is coming. 

One Collab everyone knew could be coming— info found on paperwork from SAS and shared by workers —and one Collab was a sort of surprise.  I knew about both, quite accidentally really. 

During that First Reddit post with the picture from the worker, comments were going back and forth about the other Collab ( a candle collection ) - and some were saying it was a rumor and not true — someone said they asked their manager and was told it’s not true. One Redditor called customer’s delusional.  It all was going back and forth.  

This post below of mine was in response to that FIRST showing of a Collab Picture item because comments could no longer be made as the post was removed...for violating something. 

A little later, someone else took the workers original photo (that was shared all over social media) and posted it again on Reddit!  Which started another conversation — then it too, was removed.  End of conversation.


Today, someone posted on Reddit a screenshot of a BBW teaser they got, talking about the Bridgerton Collab  - and the next Collab will turn your world upside down. 

 


 

For whatever reason, that OP brought up this blog post from days ago into that conversation with plenty of criticism, and incorrect speculation of what I meant. 

I mean if you didn’t know what I meant, you couldn’t ask me?  I do have plenty of social sites to ask a question on. That seems to happen a lot.  I write something...then people take to FB IG and certainly Reddit to pose the question, "what did she mean?"

 

Here is what I meant....without saying great details....because the last time I figured out something...Bridgerton --- from the Ingredients List of Names for Wallflowers, and deciphering the initials on a SAS piece of paperwork and shared it...then shared a Marketplace Candle pic found....I was violated here on my blog through my Adsense --- and if I did not remove the post, bye, bye Adsense....AFTER my IG post was removed for a violation.

So I am not saying BRANDS...until the BRANDS release.

 

***The first part below talked about the pic shared by a worker on Reddit...  I didn’t know if there would be that kind of release, from that brand, because of how big the items could be....was it going to be an online only thing...

I remember when the Gingham Pajamas, Robes, and Slippers were offered online as a nice gifting treat --- Remember them? --- sold out super fast and was not offered in larger sizes and people were upset ----this was years ago. So I didn’t know how something that was shown in the pic would work - what I "knew" as coming was on a smaller, less grander scale. 

And the second part below was explaining that other Collab that tons of workers also shared after the SAS papers came to prep for the sale with the actual name of the Collab --- it wasn’t a rumor heard but written on an actual piece of paper, written in black and white, showing item names and item numbers shared on Semi Annual Sale paperwork making it feel more as planned out and coming...and not rumors.  Four odd names, easily figured out...with Excitement for it.

Yesterday's  Reddit post involving me was nothing more than a way to bring up things I am not saying.  We ALLLLLL know what the Collabs could be.  Saying my post was cryptic...??  Hell ya.  The people who were involved in the original conversation that night when the FIRST pic was shown...reached out to me on DM after my post here....to continue the conversation.  

Everyone uses aliases on there, except me, and there was no other way to talk when the post was removed.  I then archived the post below.

Yesterday, when people were speculating back to this posting below and NOT what the original poster shared...I did try to respond to explain all of the things carefully....including that the  black and white was not insinuating that we are getting Beetlejuice for Halloween...because his outfit is black ...and ...white.  And some on Reddit do what they do best...reported me....and I was again blocked from commenting, and my responses were deleted.

It's not the first time...and I am sure it won't be the last time.  

And for the Redditor who posted, "She doesn't want to give any info yet, she just wants to make sure you know she COULD have been the first because she knew about it first, after someone else beats her to it by posting pix. "

She isn't first...of course...but she did know before you.  With picture proof too. And about the next few...and She isn't giving you details about those either.







6/14

 A few quick thoughts...

If you saw last nights Late, Late Reddit posting then you have an idea of what "could be" coming soon...and something matching a Fan Favorite Fragrance pattern from a company we all know...and love.

Personally, I have never owned anything of "this" brand, and I am curious about it...and I expect it to be quite pricey.  I don't know...I have no info on that, the cost.  I knew what it was going to be by accident...and have been holding it in for a while now.

When we will see it?  Unknown...for now.

Will it arrive online...only?  I am not sure because of last nights, late, late photo drop...but I'm wondering how that will materialize in a store considering all of the choices that need to be available.

Remember the last Fan Favorite Fragrance Pattern drop.  Goodness...All sizes great and small were not included.  Sellouts happened quickly and many ended up on the secondary market.  And many of us shoppers were left disappointed.

The one thing I know is --- if I can get the one thing I know of ---...I will be a happy girl, regardless of the main attraction.

That said...


The other, well known already, but mentioned in the same spoiler late, last night...thing...

I will say....hell if I know.  I know what was printed.  I read it.  Deciphered it. Did not share it...haha...

I saw four names...easy peasy. 

Will it come to fruition?  Unknown.  There was a bit of a discussion over it last night before the removal of everything posted. 

One person said their DM said no way (of course they did, it's a SECRET, duah) ,...while others think because it was in black and white on paperwork with numbers even...lol...it could be.    

I think, it could be.  The when and where and how...hell if I know...yet.  I think it should be.  I think it should show up on a table of Halloween...so you can gauge the want of more from that brand...but that is just me.  Other companies have already done it...so why not?  The fact that the next chapter was delayed shouldn't mean what was planned shouldn't come....and then do more later.

Granted....there are things that are in Black and White. Only.  There are things that get made and never show up... There are things that some of the collection gets made...then scrapped and they show up at clearance sales and outlets.  Nothing...Nothing is ever 100%...until it is.  But again...that does not mean it wasn't thought of to come.  And that is what drives the excitement.

Calling customers delusional?  Aw, keyboard warriors...(bless their hearts) .... Perhaps we are...but our delusions contribute to stores staying open, and people enjoying a brand that they look forward to every  month when something new comes out...and we buy it.


So for that second thing that is unmentionable...we know about it...and if it comes out...we will shop it.  And if it doesn't, we will wait for the next secret thing.

And there is more...secrets, I mean.  I know about another....and I look forward to seeing it...even if only in black and white.


Oh, and P.S. BBW...we love that you are branching out in the ways you are....keep it up....and I have a few ideas I would love to see.  Think....Holiday...

Bath & Body Works | Summer Pocketbacs - Cheerleader Pom Pom & Varsity Jacket

I really wasn't interested in the Bath and Body Works Pom Pom Cheerleader Pocketbac Holder when it released for Spring/Summer 2024.  That was until I realized there would be a B&BW Varsity Jacket Pocketbac Holder with a 9 and 0 on the sleeves and a Gingham Heart on the back.  

With Semi-Annual Sale starting, and the Pom Pom PB not going on sale, and the stores were selling down stock...I grabbed one to make a set.

The jacket is part of the upcoming Gingham Collection of items releasing in the next few weeks.  Check in your store to see if they are setting them out for sale early...before they sell out.  It is cute.

Bath & Body Works | "Possible" New Bakery Fall Candle Collection Coming - Fresh Brewed Coffee

A photo was shared on social media of a Freshly Brewed Coffee Candle and I have been asked do I know anything about it...

We could see a "possible" candle collection coming with the BAKERY seal on it...I mentioned on one of the many Fall posts I have made listing some possible, fall favorites scent names we always see....Harvest Pomegranate, Pumpkin Clove, Blueberry Scone, and Caramel Pumpkin Swirl that would be great.  Fall lover here!

This photo was shared by @allioth_ and was shared on @_scentsgalore's IG page...then made its way everywhere.  The candle was listed for sale on a local site.  This could be part of Fall 2024.  As always, all items/scent names/collections are subject to change.

My thanks to Allioth for reaching out to me, and for sharing this great first look candle.
