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.

I love their lotions and body scubs, If you don't have one near you they do have a website and you get the same deals online,

      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.

      That's a great question @Ladypcnj. It gives time for staff to review your line of thinking or replying. You're almost free to comment at will, reaching 5 posts.   Best wishes, stay positive.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If it's okay for me to ask, but why does post and replies have to be approved?

      No one that hasn’t gone through the self perceived shame and guilt about the feelings we’ve had cannot understand 1. Why we need a therapist we trust. 2.  Why we suddenly need to talk to them. 3. Why things set us off and throw us into a bout of extreme depression.  4. Why we feel threatened even when we aren’t in immediate danger.  That threat may be only in our mind but it’s our need for reassurance.

      Be careful about software bundled with your antivirus! Most likely they are using it to spy on you. As far as I know the only 2 VPN providers that actually protect your data (and delete it as soon as possible if they keep anything at all) are Proton VPN and Mulvad VPN - the latter one actually had their servers stormed by law enforcement and they walked away with nothing (cause Mulvad had no customer data to offer). I would avoid antiviruses altogether tbh, they're not a magic cure for internet safety and the built in one from Microsoft does its job well enough. If you're not on WIndows you don't even need one - just be smart about what you download of course.   Your web browser asking you to turn it off is probably because the browser would prefer to know your real location, just ignore it or pick a better browser, like Firefox.

      It was stupid of me, the cop was in front of me in a u-turn cut in a spot I know about. I was running a little late because of the slow truck, and the cop happened to be there today. It is like one of only three places for a speed trap on my commute. I usually don’t speed as I try to leave enough of a time buffer in the morning.

      The worst possible scenario is 4 points on my license, which a defensive driving course will negate it. I had considered getting a lawyer, but it is probably not worth the expense. 
    • Ivy
      Yeah, I was puzzling on that too…
    • Maddee
      Good luck maam 😊 I’ve experienced that they’ll lower the points , if you show up in court and pay the ticket.

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums Mealaini,   Like you I knew in my preteen years that I was meant to be a girl, but didn't have any way to bring it up in the early 1960s. It was the expanding news outlets on the telly that allowed me to understand that I may not be the only person who felt this way. Wow was my mind expanded once the internet became a reasonable research tool in the 1990s.   My grown daughter (42) is nonbinary and atheist with pagan leanings. So when I came out to her she was thrilled and wanted to dress me up and show me the world. Well I think she wanted to show me to the world. My son (45) is evangelical christian and very upset with his sister for many reasons. However he's a reluctant supporter of me as transgender. I'm out to my wife and we've been married for 48 years this June, so I'm in a very late in life transition.   The other thing that has me going down an internet rabbit hole is your location. It clearly states United Kingdom with a sub flag of Illinois. I've searched the web and can't seem to locate Illinois, UK. Am I missing something?    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
