Bath and Body Works

Alright, confess, who here amongst us loves Bath and Body Works? (besides me)

I hit up their store today at an Outlet mall in Ohio and they had a sale of buy 2, get 1 free, or buy 3 get 2 free. Well I was torn between what lotions to buy (they're great to use after shaving. soft smooth legs that smell pretty, what's not to love about that?) So I decided to get 3 different scents of lotion, and then 2 matching scents of the body spray. At least I'm set for awhile now.

They also have a new air freshener system thingy. There are little discs with a liquid behind a breathable membrane and you put them into the holder that clips onto your sun visor in your car. The discs themselves are only like $3 each so that's not too bad, and they had a sale on those too. The clip I got, and for me it was a no brainer, was a black and white polka dot with a metallic blue bow across it. Too cute and I just had to have it.

But anyway, yeah, anyone else love B&BW like I do? (and like many of my friends do)

I agree with Melanie. If I knew where one was, and could get to it, I would be a regular customer!

I would venture Syracuse would have the closest one, unless there are some outlet malls right off the interstate between you and there.

I confess, I love B&BW!

I get all of my hand soaps (moisturizing & deep cleansing), shower gel (shower gel, creamy body wash & sugar scrub) and lotions (body lotion, body butter, triple moisture body cream) there. As someone with eczema, between prescription lotion and these, they help keep my skin in decent condition and it smells so nice. As far as sales went I was lucky to go by on the weekend they had a sale buy 3 get 3 free, although since then I have only ever seen the buy 3 get 2 free. I've always wondered if it was a mistake and I was lucky to buy a lot that one day.

Now that you've had it for a week, what do you think of it?

Love B&BW! It's one way where I'm able to have my girly side open. For years I've worns scented lotions; my wife, coworkers, etc just expect that of me. I go with the fruity smells, the flowery smells would probably be too open.

I even got told at work to not wear such strong scented lotions. LoL. My sense of smell isn't very strong.

It's alright. I think it works better for smaller vehicles or spaces. I can't smell it right away but when I take it down and put my nose up to it I can smell it just fine so I dunno. I had better results with this big jar of gel beads that I got at Walmart.

it still looks cute though. :)

Hmmm, well maybe I'll buy one for aesthetics, then buy a real air freshener and put it under the seat. :lol:

After restocking on Japanese Cherry Blossom lotion, I decided to try two new (to me) scents. Paris and Pink Chiffon. Since it was B3G2F I got those 3 in lotions, and then the last 2 in body sprays. :)

Of course you can't smell the scent dispenser in the truck dear ....you have too many other scents going. Sounds like fun.

I've become a hippie chick again and love the scent of patchulie.

Hugs,

I love most smelly crap stores. Bath and body works included. My recommendation is a store called Lush. Ohhh Ahhh.

I often walk by and see the store, but haven't brought myself to actually go into it usually something else draws my attention. I'll have to check it out.

I bought a little of everything when it was on sale and I had money lol. When I go I walk around and see how all the different things smells. Most of the staff usually just look at me weird, but I could care less. I've actually tried like a 1/3 of all the shower gels and then bought my lotions based on the ones I like the best.

I also really like Japanese Cherry Blossom (moisturizing hand soap & triple moisture body cream). My other favorites are Twilight Woods (shower gel, creamy body wash, golden sugar scrub, body butter, triple moisture body cream & flawless gold - although this leaves your skin with a gold tint to it), Warm Vanilla Sugar (moisturizing hand soap), and Be Enchanted (shower gel, body lotion, body butter, triple moisture body cream). A couple friends like Be Enchanted best and think it's the most girly scent ("hydrating rice bran oil and protective acai berry extract"), but I also love Twilight Woods ("apricot nectar, mimosa petals and tuscan cypress").

The men's Twilight Woods is also really nice for a masculine scent, but I eventually just gave in and started buying the women's one instead.

      Yes, my programmer friends and I think that antivirus software is a virus.  It's constantly searching your system and slowing it down.  If you install your own OS and software on your machine, and you make backups of your personal files, then you can recover from viruses in an hour or two.  My computer is 10+ years old and is working as good as the first day I had it.   As long as my computer is doing what I want it to do, I don't care if someone is spying on my system.

      If you get a ticket, always say not guilty and go to court. Much of the time, the officer will not show up, and often the district attorney or the judge will not want to take the time. They ticket harvest because most people just agree to the fine and send them a check by mail.   If you are not a commercial driver, Most states also have a ticket forgiveness program. You take a little easy Driver's Ed Course, and it doesn't go on your record or increase your insurance prices. Explore your options!

      Shaving my legs (very early on) was the first BIG STEP in my self-affirmation.  It also felt Real and Natural ... Finally (after all my years with fairly hairy legs). My wife was shocked but I think she thought it was 'OK' as long as didn't go any farther ... well that wasn't going to happen.  It was actually Step 1 of many to follow.  I did feel the need to hide it from others but eventually didn't care.  And, men shaving their legs is much more common these days. Home IPL (laser) made the hair removal permanent over the course of a year or so.  Whatever was leftover has been reduced to peach-fuzz by HRT. I don't deny or reject all my years living in the realm of cis-males ... it was part of my Journey to get to where I am today.  But since committing to HRT and living in an environment and community that supports my transition, I find it difficult to go back into Boy-mode.  The times that I do have to do that ... I can feel the dysphoria rising up again.  No going back ... at this point.

      Congratulations @EasyE on your continued progress! I think it was about 6 - 8 weeks for me that I truly started to notice (and feel!) the changes.  They were not enormous (no pun intended) but I could notice my breasts were starting to plump up and my hips also.    fyi - I talked to my Provider a couple of days ago and based on recent labs agreed that I could start progesterone.  I did a LOT of research and after expressing any concerns with my Provider we both felt confident in starting.  I have been almost a full year of estradiol and I think my breast and other body changes have started to settle down.  Hoping the 'P' will give them another jump start. Thank you for sharing your progress.  I think you're going to be Happy with with the next couple of months brings

      I have this one particular antivirus with the VPN, I thought I paid for everything to be activated, but it turns out to be I have basic protection and they want more money from me to turn it on. I wished the store salesperson told me this soon, I would have brought something else that has everything in it, not half protection missing lol

      Hi @Mealaini - nice to meet you and Welcome! You have an important story and experience to share so I am happy you are open and willing to do that.  Also, I want you to know that this Forum was a very important part of my own Self-Acceptance and helped me navigate both my Progress and the Coming Out process to my wife, kids, and other family/friends.   It's not an easy Journey - sometimes it can seem slow and painful - but for most of us here, it's one that is essential to our Well Being.  I hope you have a similar experience as myself as you connect with others on this Forum and gain the benefit our each individual Experience and our Shared Humanity. Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      It seems to me that antivirus software often acts like a virus.  McAfee is really tough to get rid of.  I got a laptop a few years ago that had it pre-installed.  Didn't want it, and the process to cut out every last piece of it took a long time.    As for VPNs, check out Ultrasurf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasurf   It may not be the best, but it is free and seems to bypass many government restrictions.  Its one of the few tools in GF's toolbox that I actually understand how to use.  As in...click the button!

      Hi Thea, I can relate to that, to this day I find video games that has female role characters in them, the ones that takes leadership.

      Divorce sux.  My husband has an ex-wife somewhere...far, far away.  I guess she turned into somebody completely different right after the marriage, and she divorced him after a couple of years.    My partner (his "Wife #1) married him pretty soon after that divorce, and I guess he kind of missed her back then, but that fades with time.  I wonder... is it harder to stay in contact after divorce, or harder to cut off all contact completely?    I was very clear with my GF when we got together years ago.... to choose me is to keep me forever, as a breakup (and heartbreak) would probably be fatal.  I told my husband and other partners the same thing.  Once I've made my nest, don't push me out of it.  I will curl up in a corner and make myself very heavy and hard to grab   Even GF has never said she wanted to get rid of me, although she gets frustrated with me sometimes.  I'm pretty sure I'm safe here.

      Odd that this topic showed up today. With the warmer weather approaching, I decided to do something about my legs. When I was in my twenties, my legs were quite hairy, but have become less hirsute as I age. I decided to mow the hair with my manscaping device to make eventual shaving less messy. This made me realize that due to a lack of limberness and practice, shaving might be a major undertaking, so today I applied depilatory from mid-thighs to my ankles (no hair on feet, fortunately). The odor wasn't as unpleasant as I expected (didn't use a common store brand*), and the results were gratifying. I'll try it on my chest next.   *I'm not sure whether mentioning product names is allowed – think of a musical by Lerner and Loewe.

      Hi all, Thanks for the warm welcome.     Yeah... The UK flag is a mistake.  I didn't notice it until I came on here today. I'm from Illinois, in the U.S.  I can't seem to find the way to change it in my profile.  Moderators?  Any ideas?     I met with my therapist today.  She thinks that this will be a good place to get started, and I am hoping I can find some support and offer support.     I'll be checking in from time to time :)

      Approximately 12 hours ago I created a post in the "intersex" forum, however on YouTube 17 people can relate to my story.

      It has been about six weeks since I started the HRT journey. Today I officially "upgraded" to a new level of patch. I can't believe how giddy I was when A) the doc responded so quickly to my request for a new prescription, as I thought as I was going to have to wait a few weeks for my current one to run out; B) the pharmacy filled my new prescription so quickly -- in like an hour from when the doc emailed; and C) when I got home and put the new patch in place as quickly as possible...   Six weeks in and I would say it is subtle changes at best. But there are changes. They are just hard to describe... Sometimes I get these little rushes of emotion or mini-euphorias. Is that the hormones? I am emotional anyways, anger included ... I've noticed very subtle changes in my chest, like are my areola getting bigger? Or is it just my imagination? Are things getting smaller downstairs? Again, or just my imagination? I feel ... different ... yes a little more feminine...   I think it has surprised me how much I actually want a female chest. I keep checking it out all the time. That is brand new! But it's like I look down, notice what appear to be some changes and I say to myself, "This is going on with my body, and I like this! A lot!" Nothing ceases to amaze me anymore. I am such a mess, lol...    I feel like this patch upgrade is going to bring about more noticeable changes. Like I am really in the game now. Like the first part was just a warm up. Maybe not. But that's what it feels like.   So far, no problems with the patch itself (aside for forgetting a couple of times to take the old patch off when I put the new on one. I went a whole day once with a double-patch). Internally I think I am so ready for the next step... Externally, I feel like I am continuing to poke a hornet's nest, a den of scorpions and a mama bear all at the same time.
