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.

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last month, the Walmart I normally shop at put their Valentine’s Day decorations on shelves. After browsing what Walmart had, I found some decorations I liked, but not enough to buy them at that time.

Since Valentine’s Day is next week, I want to show my Valentine’s Day favorite decorations for sale at Walmart.

Bloomingdale’s x Wuthering Heights Collection Favorites

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last month, I discovered that Bloomingdale’s has a new collaboration in their stores. This collaboration is with the movie Wuthering Heights and the studio releasing it, Warner Brothers. The movie, which will being it’s theatrical run on February 13, 2026, will star Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi and is inspired by the English novel by Emily Bronte. The collection is part of Bloomingdale’s pop up shop called The Carousel at Bloomingdale’s. The collection is available at Bloomingdale’s in store and online until February 22.

I haven’t thought about Wuthering Heights until the buzz around the 2026 movie started. (‘m not a big fan of the book, so I didn’t think I would see anything I would like in the collection. Much to my surprise, I did find things in the collection I really like! The pieces in the collection, which includes clothes, jewelry, fragrances, beauty products, and more, has a gothic look to it, yet it I think it is very wearable.

After browsing the collection, I decided to pick my favorite items in the collection and feature them in a post. Before I show my favorite items in the collection, I wanted to mention a few things. Bloomingdale’s is a luxury department store, so the prices will reflect that.  All the clothing and jewelry in this post are by the brand AQUA. The napkin rings are by Kim Seybert. And finally, all the product photographs in this post are from Bloomingdale’s website.

Lenox 2024 Snow Majesty Snowflake Ornament Feature

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last year, I decided to shop for new ornaments that are different to the ones I can normally find at Hallmark’s stores. One of the ornaments I stumbled across is Lenox’s Snow Majesty Snowflake ornament.

I don’t normally like anything from Lenox’s line of metal ornaments. They don’t always have a shape or look that I like. Sometimes, the quality isn’t as nice as the ceramic ornaments. In 2024, I really loved with that year’s metal ornament. I liked it’s design and the quality, so I decided to purchase it.

The Ups and Downs of Decorating for the Holidays While Working on the House

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Christmas is this week and I’m sad to say I don’t have a big tree up in my house. I had plans to put one up, but this year things are different. My house needs work and I don’t have anywhere to put a tree up.

Lenox 2024 Snow Fantasies Cross Ornament Feature

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last year, I decided to focus on buying really nice quality ornaments. The ornaments I decided to purchase are from Lenox’s 2024 Snow Fantasies line of ornaments.

I already talked about my snowflake ornament from the collection in a previous post. (You can read it here) I also own another ornament from the line: the Snow Fantasies Cross. Since I’m trying to focus on my own personal collection of holiday decor, I wanted to talk about the cross in a post.

Lenox 2024 Snow Fantasies Snowflake Ornament Feature

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last year, I decided to purchase myself new ornaments from Lenox. Lenox’s ornament can be quite expensive, but my favorites are their more affordable line of ornaments. Last year, they would cost around $20 USD with tax per ornament, but they would often times be reduced for sale below that.

Even though I was very happy to buy and collect these ornaments, I didn’t have the time to write posts about them. This year, I decided to try to talk more about my current collection of Christmas ornaments instead of what I want to buy. Since I didn’t write any posts about my 2024 Lenox ornaments, I decided to write some this year starting with the my 2024 Snow Fantasies Snowflake ornament.

5 Christmas Gift Ideas for New House Owners

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Moving to a new house, apartment, or on your own for the first time is both a stressful and exciting time. Especially during the holiday season. Thinking about moving during this time of the year inspired me to create a list of five gift ideas for new house owners or if someone you know moved out on their own earlier this year. The gifts in this post are meant as Christmas gifts, but they could be used for house warming gifts if you know someone moved during the holiday season.

Swarovski 2017 Annual Star Christmas Ornament Feature

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last year, I decided to not purchase ornaments from Hallmark. I didn’t feel really inspired by the 2024 collection, so I decided to spend any allocated ornament money on other ornaments… or anything else I want/need to buy that year.

One of the ornaments I found was Swarovski’s 2017 Annual Star Christmas Ornament. Since it was 2024, I was able to find it for a really good price. I originally planned on writing an ornament feature post for last year’s Blogmas, but I didn’t have the time to photograph the ornament, edit the photos, and write the post in time. Since it’s Christmas time again, I decided to include the ornament feature post in this year’s Blogmas.

Michaels Stores Sweet and Spooky 2025 Halloween Decorations

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

For the past several years, there have been more Halloween decorations in the color pink. Some years the decorations are in a light pink while others are bright pink. These decorations are usually hit or miss with people online and with shoppers.

This year, Michaels created a collection called Sweet and Spooky. This collection features a lot of pink, but with a retro twist. I was able to see this collection in store. While there, I took photographs of everything I liked or thought was interesting in the collection.
