Weeks ago, I published a post featuring the Bodycology Cozy Fireside limited edition scent. You can read it here.
In the post, I mentioned there was another limited edition scent available at Walmart. The scent is called Winter Vanilla. Even though it is not a fall scent, I really liked the scent and decided to publish the post about it in October.
Earlier this month, I discovered Bodycology released a limited edition collection for fall. I originally saw it at Walmart beside the seasonal Softsoap fall collection, but it was moved to the Bodycology section of the store. I saw it again after it moved and discovered there is an additional product in the collection that wasn’t available the first time I saw it.

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.

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.

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.

The Bath and Body Works semi annual sale started two weeks ago today. I enjoy shopping the sale, but this year I was so busy with work and other distractions that I could shop the sale as soon as I wanted to. Despite this, I still made it to a Bath and Body Works store and shopped the sale. While I was there, I took a few photographs of the products available during the sale.

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!
Bath and Body Works recently begun to release their fall scented candles and Wallflowers online. Based of my experience recently visiting one Bath and Body Works store, I really don’t know if there will be any in store, but I know some are currently available online.
Since I’m very excited to see Bath and Body Works’ fall scents available again, I wanted to share my favorite Bath and Body Works fall scents. Continue reading “Favorite Bath and Body Works Fall Scents”
I’m almost done sharing my favorites from Target’s 20 Years of Design for All, and I have yet to share my favorites from my favorite design collaboration that Target brought back: Missoni.
Missoni is not my style at all, but when I saw the collaboration items in store, I fell immediately in love with them. Although I own many items from the original collaboration, I know there are a few that missed or want to own another one of because of wear and tear. Because of this, I can say there are many items from the Missoni collection that are my favorites. Continue reading “Favorites from Target’s 20 Years of Design for All- Missoni”
