Bath and Body Works’ 2026 Disney Princess Favorite Products

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Almost two weeks ago, Bath and Body Works released their Disney Princess Collection for 2026. They previously released a Disney Princess collection in 2025. Both collections have six scents inspired by six Disney Princesses. They include Belle, Tiana, Rapunzel, Aurora, Mulan, and Snow White. The 2026 collection has four new scents (Rapunzel, Aurora, Mulan, and Snow White) inspired by Princesses that were not a part of the 2025 collection. In addition to these four new scents, two previous scents (Belle and Tiana) from the 2025 collection were rereleased and a seventh scent (Life is a Fairy Tale) that was not inspired by a specific princess were released for the 2026 collection. The scents were available in multiple products and merchandise inspired by specific Princesses and the Disney Princess brand were released as well.

I wrote a post about the description of each of the fragrances in this year’s collection. (You can read it here) In this post, I wanted to share my favorite products in this collection. There are many things I like about this collection, so my list is long. Unfortunately, I decided to skip this collection and not purchase from it. Still, I enjoyed browsing it as was heavily tempted to buy several items from it!

 

All the product photographs in this post are from Bath and Body Works’ official listings for each of the products. All the pricing information is also from the same listings as well. Not all the products mentioned in this post are available as of the publishing of this post.

Stranger Things x Bath and Body Works Full Collection

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s finally here! Last Thursday, Bath and Body Works released the second half of their Stranger Things collection. As I mentioned in my previous post about the collection, I believed there would be a Pocketbac holder and hand soap in the collection. I was right, but there were many things not included in the sneak peek that were a surprise to me.

Since I wrote a post in anticipation of the new collection, I decided to write one about the new releases. As I write this post, some of the items in the collection I like the most, specifically the Cassette Tape Pocketbac holder, are sold out online.

Bath and Body Works Semi Annual Sale Haul- December 2023 Part 2

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

In a previous post, I talked about part of my December 2023 Bath and Body Works Semi Annual Sale haul. In this post, I will be talking about all the home fragrances I purchased.

For the past few years, I decided to not purchase any home fragrances. This year, I decided to give owning and using home fragrances a try. I liked some of the scent available during the sale, so I stocked up on some of them. I’m not sure if I will end up using them (Except for a trial period), but I hope to use at least one of them.

This year’s economic problems has not been easy to shop for Christmas presents. I am no exception. Still, I really enjoyed browsing high priced advent calendars.

Bath and Body Works Semi-Annual Sale In Store Photographs- 2022

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Way back in June, Bath and Body Works held their summer semi-annual sale for 2022. At the time, I had many vehicle problems and was too busy to shop it as much as I planned. Despite this, I was able to go for one trip to my old favorite Bath and Body Works store. While I was there, I found products I ended up purchasing and took photographs of the setup for the sale.

Even though I’m out more than a month out of sync with when I should write posts about the sale, I still wanted to write a post about what I saw while shopping there. Continue reading “Bath and Body Works Semi-Annual Sale In Store Photographs- 2022” →

During a recent shopping trip to Bath and Body Works, I saw a display in the store that was dedicated to the Black History Month collection for 2022.

Since I was so excited, took photographs of the collection. I wanted to share some of my photographs in a post in order to allow anyone who wants to see the collection but can’t for any reason.

Advent Calendars from Sephora for Holiday 2021

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

I know I’m late to write a post about Sephora’s beauty products, especially since today is the last day for the Sephora sale,, but, unfortunately, I was very busy and was unable to sit down and write one. Still, I wanted to make one before the sale ends.

Last week, I dedicated a post about advent calendars available at Ulta Beauty. Since Sephora sells different products and brands than Ulta Beauty, I tried to create a list of all the advent calendars sold at Sephora. I originally wanted to make a post about my favorite calendars at Sephora, but Sephora did not have as many calendars for sale as Ulta Beauty. Instead, I decided to feature all the calendars available at Sephora. As of the publishing of this post, some of these calendars have sold out or have poor ratings. Remember this when looking into purchasing the calendars. Continue reading “Advent Calendars from Sephora for Holiday 2021” →

A few days ago, I published a post talking about my five favorite Bath and Body Works fall scents. Shortly Bath and Body Works’ fall scents are released in stores, the Halloween scents start to show up as well. They are harder to purchase because there is a limited quantity and are very popular. Like with the fall scents, I have favorite Halloween scents as well. I felt inspired to write another post about my five favorite scents, this time from the Halloween collection.

Why I Can’t Use Bath and Body Works Candles Anymore (But Can Use Other Brands)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

A few months ago, I made multiple Bath and Body Works haul posts in which I talked about buying Wallflowers as replacements for candles. I also mentioned that I cannot use nor burn Bath and Body Works candles anymore. Before I wrote and published those posts, I already planned to talk about which candles aggravates my allergies while others do not. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the time to sit down and write a post about it until now.

The basic reason why Bath and Body Works candles is because of my allergies. I suffered from allergies most of my life, but the cause of my allergies was a mystery until I made an effort in my late teens to finally figure out why I would feel sickly on some days and not on others. It turned out my health problems was more complicated than I, or my doctors, ever imagined, but there was always some sort of underlining health condition that prevented my body from recovering from other illness I had at that time. My doctors figured out the reason for this: My allergies are so bad they messed with my immune system’s ability to fight against virus and infections I had throughout my childhood and teens.

Even though I was happy to discover why I had immune system problems, I also learned my allergies are caused by vegetation, agriculture crops, pollutants in the air caused by local agriculture, and the natural bacteria in the soil where I grew up and where I currently live. To remedy the allergies completely, all I need to do is literally move to a different area in my home state of Arizona or move out of state. Moving really isn’t something I can afford or do at this time, so I’m kind of stuck where I’m at.

Allergy medication does help me immensely, but my allergies caused complications, such as a sensitivity to foods and other things that I am not actually not allergic to. This makes me happy because I believed I had food allergies and many more allergies, but it turns out I just have a sensitivity. One of the foods I found out I am sensitive to is soy.

Since I’m have a sensitivity to soy, I cannot eat many soy products or expose myself to soy based products. If I do not, I may have an allergy-like reaction that can sometimes be very serious. This includes soy based beauty products, such as Fresh’s Soy Cleanser and shampoos and conditioners with soy in them. I cannot take supplements with soy in them either. Also, I cannot use soy candles.

And that’s why I cannot use Bath and Body Works’ candles. The candles soy based and, even though I can smell them in the store or at a friend’s house without a problem, I cannot keep them or burn them in my house. Because of this, I began to use other brand’s candles that do not contain soy, such as Yankee Candle.

It makes me sad to know I cannot burn my Bath and Body Works candles, but I am hopeful I can use them after I move out of the area where I currently live! I do not know when that day will be, but I am trying to remain hopeful that it will happen sooner than I think it will be.

Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for reading!
