Bath & Body Works Holiday Haul!

Black Friday rolled around and my home was in desperate need of some holiday soaps and candles, and I couldn't resist taking advantage of the sales Bath & Body Works had going on. The soaps I ended up getting for normal price (6 for $18 or something like that?) and the candles were buy 3, get 3 free. 

If you got the B&BW emails or if you saw my Facebook post, B&BW had a MAJOR sale this past weekend and all candles were $8.50... if you had a coupon, you could get them even cheaper. Sooo... this haul doesn't include what I went back for (#ridiculous, I know), but regardless, it'll give you some good ideas if you're looking for some fun seasonal scents for your home, too. Check out the haulage below:

• Oh Snap Jolly Gingerbread: This soap smells lovely, just like you'd imagine gingerbread cookies to smell. I think this packaging is so cute, I had to snatch it up. 

• London Tea Time Shortbread: As you can tell, I've already started using this one prior to taking pictures (oops!). This smell is "golden shortbread, candied bing cherries & toasted almonds." It reminds me a lot of the Cherry Almond Shortbread hand soap they had last year - it smells exactly the same. 

• Honeyed Pineapple Pumpkin: Oh my word, this smells amazing. I tend to love pineapple scents, and I'm not sure how, but it really meshes well with the pumpkin! 

• Frosted Cranberry: "Frosted cranberries sprinkled with iced peach," a classic wintry scent. Cranberry has been a favorite of mine this year.

• Cranberry Citrus & Sage: This smells divine, especially if you're a lover of cranberry and sage - of which I am both. :)

• Candy Cane Bliss: Adorable packaging, and who doesn't love their hands smelling pepperminty fresh? This has hints of vanilla and whipped cream to lighten it up, and it's quite divine.

• Tis the Season: A classic holiday scent, smelling fruity like apples, pine and cider. I always love this candle around Christmas.

• Winter Sun: A very fresh smell, comprised of citrus, vetiver and musk. This will be a nice one to burn even after the holidays as past.

• Cheers Mulled Wine: Fruity like wine, smelling of apples and saffron. I like this far more than I expected to when I ordered it.

• The Original: Hoooo boy, this is my new favorite candle (and I definitely bought a back up at the $8.50 sale). It has hints of pinewood, vetiver, and black pepper. It's how I wish my home would smell all on it's own! 

• Snowflakes & Spruce: This smells exactly like it's described: spruce and vanilla. It's sweet without being overwhelming. 

• Red Velvet Cheer: Super sweet and cakey, this smells like cake batter, apple, frosting and creamsicle. So yummy if you like bakery scents.

Fall Bath & Body Works Haul!!

I think it's safe to say fall is here in Minnesota, and I am in 7th heaven - it's my absolute favorite time of year! We were blessed with the most perfect weather this past weekend, 70s, sunny and a tinge of autumn in the air. All this fall excitement had me out the door and heading to Bath & Body Works to get some of their scents of the season (especially because their fall scents are always gone WAY too early... anyone else notice that?) Here's what I picked up...

Brown Sugar & Carrots Hand Soap - "A gourmet treat of glazed carrots warmly scented with vanilla and cinnamon." The design on the bottle is absolutely adorable, and this smells heavenly!

Pumpkin Cupcake Hand Soap - "Satisfy your sweet tooth with the scent of baked pumpkin, whipped vanilla frosting and a hint of honey." The description couldn't be more spot on - this smells just as you'd expect.

A Walk in the Woods Hand Soap - "A leisurely stroll through golden leaves, red rosewood and cool bergamot." This has more of a cologne-like scent that is just enough, not overpowering. 

Cozy Vanilla Cream Hand Soap - "Whipped frosting and sweet cream warmed with vanilla bean create a cozy treat." If you love vanilla, this is for you.

Crisp Morning Air Hand Soap - "Breathe in the invigorating scent of mountain pine, fresh juniper and pear." This soap has a more earthy, autumnal scent that is fresh and invigorating. 

 I was NOT intending to come home with body products buuuuuttttt... you know how it is!

Plum Moscato & Almond Harvest Shower Gel - This shower gel has a warm fruit scent, with hints of bergamot and sandalwood. I definitely didn't need this, but it was buy 2 get one free, so it happened.

Pumpkin Latte & Marshmallow Comfort Shower Gel - Holy crap, this smells AMAZING. I took one whiff and absolutely had to have it. I love marshmallow scents and this one spoke to me. The latte notes don't come through too strong for me, but you can definitely smell the pumpkin and marshmallow.

Pumpkin Latte & Marshmallow Triple Moisture Body Cream - I love B&BW Triple Moisture body creams because they are so moisturizing and leave my skin feeling silky and hydrated. This scent MIGHT get sickening as a body cream, but I sure hope not.
