[life] Crazy Xmas Shopping #1 - Bath & Body Works



Evil thing about living close to Pt. Roberts & having NEXUS is that I can shop US websites!! 

One stop shopping & getting all I need is what I'm looking for.  Plus: Can you imagine carrying all these with B&BW's paper bag? XD

I got it with one of the Xmas event they're having online & they sent me an extra Mango Mandarin body lotion! YAY!!!

What I got:
1. Room Perfume - Frosted Cranberry
2. Room Perfume - Beach Bellini
3. 3-Wick Candle - Cranberry Pear Bellini
4. Home Fragrance Oil - Cranberry Pear Bellini
5. Home Fragrance Oil - Frosted Cranberry
6. Nourishing Hand Cream - Winter Cranberry
<<seeing a trend here?>>

7. Body Lotion - Mango Mandarin
8. Triple Moisture Body Cream - Mango Mandarin
9. Shower Gel - Mango Mandarin
10. Fragrance Mist - Mango Mandarin
<<seeing another trend?>>

11. Body Lotion - Malibu

Couple days before I placed my order, I went to the B&BW and wanted to check out their Xmas scent.  I figure it's close to Xmas and they MUST have something on sale.  Also, with the coupon that I print out from WorkPerk, I can get additional 20% off on anything!  I can't ever justify to spend $22 on a 3-Wick candle no matter how amazing they are.  Anyway, went there, smelled almost all the candles, and the only one that I liked was Cranberry Pear Bellini.  And of course, what you want is normally something that you can't get.  They're out of the 3-Wicked one and only have 1 small tiny version left.  I grabbed as soon I found it and search the entire store to see if there's another one somewhere else.  (The store was a mass!) Don't really remember what else I bought that day, I think I also grabbed couple Scentportable Refills with similar smell.

So I went home, went on to BBW website, and can't imagine why B&BW only has US website, but not a Canadian one.  However, in the meantime, not really complaining, because it's cheaper! haha!  

I waited for couple days before I placed the order, really wanted to see if I still have the urge of buying this and also wanted to make sure I didn't find something else that I really wanted.  So before the end of one of their million Xmas sales, I placed my order.  There are many other scents that I'm curious about about; like the sorbet ones, but too bad, they don't have it in store and don't really want to buy the gigantic candle if I don't end up liking it.  

The purpose of shopping online was to buy candles; however, I ended up getting only one and instead, I got probably like X years worth of body-related supplies.  I have a thing for Mango/Passion Frust/Exotic Fruit scent.  Just can't resist it!!

Anyway, the deal's pretty good, things got shipped fast and most importantly, NOTHING BROKE or EXPLODED ^__^
