I was happy

today i ended up suprising my friend at the mall, i caught her literally just as she got off,

any way it was cool we talked hung out,

than we went to bath and body works!

Never been in there before, but I LOVED IT!

She would open like the cap she smell it than hand it to me "smell" i would! ask me what i thought, OMG Lot of good stuff, Really nice, I always have a fun time hanging out with her!

her favorite and ming now too! Japanese cherry blosssom! it smells amazing!

it was funny at the cash register i sliped the cahsier $10 and i put my finger on my lips

and my friend goes to swipe the card and shes like wow it just went down 10!? cool?

the lady said ya its a secret santa thing.

She didnt catch on but its coool, I used my secret stash of cash so, it stays secret thats cool

but it felt nice doing something nice.

I definatly had a fun time, we went to gamestop, but i was like ok lets go! after two seconds.

So anyone else been in there? whats your favorite!

Ming was the "Japanese Cherry Blossom Shampoo" i think

PS: to clarify, I am not out to her, I am thinking about it but ugh! i dont think i should although i dont think she would say anything i mean i dont know its crazy she kinda feels like a sister. anyway back to bath and body works

apperantly its with victoria secrets also right now they are having a buy 3 get 3 free sale on anything!

I noticed that some things smell little different! from body wash to lotion, etc.

O they had a mgaical lotion i cant remember name but it actualy started smelling better the longer it was on her!

she would stop and smell and be like smell that its getting better right

Also after that omg their was such cute dragonfly earings they were studs i believe tiny not big at all! at a stand. they were small, they had i think opal two wing s and two wings birthstone!

I think this is te right section.

I know when im out and start transition im going straight there to pick up sometuff!

So once more Whats your favorite body wash, lotion, or whatever and why?

I like the Japanese Cherry Blossom cuz it isnt to strong or two sweet, its just right!

Hey Cynthia

I haven't been in a bath and body works for decades, but I am a sucker for anything that smells like cucumber. I love it so much I would spend my last dollar on it. Funny though I don't have anything that smells like it. Thanks for the post I will schedule it in to my next trip to the mall

The Japanese Cherry Blossom is also one of my favorites. also stopped into victoria secret before work this morning and was looking around, and smelling all there lotions and perfumes. The bad part is I am always missing the test strip and hitting my hands bilfoldld, purse, what ever is in the way, and by the end of this I start getting a headache from all the overwhelming smells at the same time, but I will live happily with and perfect my aim :P .

Luv

I always wondered how anyone could tell the difference in scents after inhaling the first one and today I stopped in an actual perfume store. Before smelling the first strip, the sales clerk ask if I wanted the 'coffee beans' first. Silly me, I thought she was talking about a scent name and said sure. Then she handed me a tiny jar of coffee beans. Now I know the secret. :lol:

They make great stuff, we gets lot's of their coupons and specials here.

Currently I use Bath and Body works "Sea Island Cotton" body creme, and lotions. That scent is great, and nice way to finish up from shaving !

@ Cynthia of Creation:

Girl, first, let me tell you how much I LOVE the screen name you use on here: Cynthia of Creation! AWESOME! Great, great, great name!

While I always try to stay positive with my comments, I've got to tell you: Don't know about that avatar you use. Kinda gruesome. But, hey, who am I to say? If you like it, by all means go with it.

BATH & BODY WORKS!

New Albany, Ohio powerhouse that now is in the big leagues of retailing but started out as one woman with a great idea and lots of gumption. Bath & Body Works is my store of choice whenever it comes to fragrances, emoluments, etc. Why?

They've got great stuff. Their prices are very reasonable. Their stores are slam-dunk awesome and just a pleasure to shop at. These people totally understand the aesthetics and mindset of their target shoppers. It's just SOOO much fun to be in their stores.

EVERY JANUARY AND EVERY JUNE, THEY HAVE THEIR SEMI-ANNUAL SALE! SHOP THERE THEN! YOU CAN BUY LOTS OF STUFF AND AWESOME PRICES!

My fragrances are exclusively from their stores. I'm alternatively using these fragrances from Bath & Body Works:

* Cool Citrus Basil;

* White Citrus;

* Citrus Sapphire;

* Midnight Pomegranate;

* Warm Vanilla Sugar; and,

* Lemon & Lime No. 1818.

These scents work with my body chemistry. I buy them ALL in Body Splash form rather than in either au de cologne or au de parfum forms. Body Splash form is the most dilute, so you can use it generously, it will last for hours and the price is right.

Want a heavier scent? Go with either au de cologne or au de parfum forms. Or, you could layer the shower soaps and body creams in the same fragrances if you want to.

Bath & Body Works will very generously let you try their products. Do so. Why? Find fragrances and products YOU like. Find fragrances and prodcuts that WORK with your body chemisty. Citrus-based scents work well for me, and I like them very much. Coconut does too.

You CAN go upscale at a store like Nordstrom or some such and pay $300 or so for 0.5 ounce of some hoitie-toitie fragrance, and there's nothing wrong with doing that. Me? Bath & Body Works any day of the week. Great stuff. Great prices. Great place.

Hope you like it. Happy shopping!

;) Lacey

Bath & Body Works' "Cool Citrus Basil" Bodysplash is a splendid blend of citrus essences kissed by an accent of basil which blend together into a marvelous melody of fragrance. If it works with your body chemistry, it will MAJORLY work with it and just totally pop and rock the house! Neither the citrus nor the basil predominates. There is a synergy that's just amazing! Love it!

You have Italian in you? Rock on, hon! Lacey Girl is half Italian and half Jewish (not really a race per se, but why belabor the point?)! Oh, Heaven help us!

Oy veh, Don Corleone, I have come to pay my respects! You schlemiel, I'm gonna make ya an offer you can't refuse! Bubalah, it's a family thing, you understand?

Hey, babes, about your avatar ... I'm just messin' with ya! Forgive me, hon! Looks cool to me. In fact, it rocks in a sinister sort of way, but then again, so do The Rolling Stones, and they are my all-time favorite band!

Peace & Happiness to You!

B) Lacey

Eh, goomba? Lemme be your yenta! Just 3 more days of the Big Semi-Annual Sale at Bath & Body Works, so hie thee hither cop some Cool Citrus Basil Bodysplash, honey! Score some Coconut Lime Verbena Bodysplash too if you can find it ... majorly good stuff!

I think your avatar and name is way cool Cynthia !

Was just back in the store yesterday with the girls. They keep sending me more coupons. With 4 women in this house that stuff goes fast.

This time we bulked up on "Secret Wonderland", body lotion and creams. I just used some this morning after shaving and have to say, it's like a floral explosion, very nice.

My daughter is into "Sweat Pea".

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!
    • missyjo
      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
