Real Talk About Bath and Body Works Candles

BBW is just full of surprises, aren't there?! So a new candle collection popped up online this morning... By the looks of 'em, it's a summery " American Boardwalk -esque" " Steppin' on the beach" themed collection All of the summery/boardwalk-y classics are here - Turquoise Waters (meh), Ocean Driftwood (double meh), Coastal Sun (my summer jam), fan favorites Berry Waffle Cone and Summer Boardwalk and a very patriotic looking Warm Apple Pie presumably for the 4th of July And it looks like we may have some newness; there is one lone scents that could possibly be new or a repackage of something from backintheday... Sandcastles & Sunshine (Salted Starfruit , Ocean Mist, White Driftwood) This could possibly be new; there hasn't been a candle with starfruit in the notes since 2011's Starfruit Crush  but let's be honest, what's the likelihood that it's not a repackage.

Even in the midst of a pandemic crisis, the BBW hype train keeps movin ahead at full speed. So bright and early Thursday morn, a group of new candles quietly and mysteriously appeared online. As is my habit, the first thing I do when I wake up is grab my phone and mindlessly look at stuff until I'm awake enough to grab a cup of coffee.

Given the kind of scents they are as well as their exclusivity, they're definitely unicorn candles in my mind. T...

Greetings my dear fledgeling readers! It's been a minute hasn't it? Sooo, I have some updates/unfortunate news... About maybe a week after my last post , I started feeling ill. Based on the symptoms, I assumed it was the start of a chest cold. Then as my symptoms got worse, I thought it was the flu. I did eventually start feeling better and besides a lingering occasional cough, I am still feeling better. Given the circumstances, timing and location (and also because I'm a glass half empty kinda guy), I've resigned myself to the grim realization that I caught COVID-19, albeit an extremely mild case.  Also, awhile back on the 'gram, I made a public announcement so those of who you followed me may have heard. However for those of you who haven't heard, here's the T. After I came back from abroad back in January, I decided to take a little break. During my hiatus, I found myself having little to no desire to post anything. After much introspective de...
