Oh, the bliss of walking into Bath & Body Works. Everyone knows and loves the sweet-smelling body and home products that can be found in this little slice of heaven. The candles, the hand soaps and, of course, the lotions still bring me unhealthy amounts of happiness, and I have been using them my whole life.
Not only have I grown up using Bath & Body Works; I also work there and guess what...it's amazing. I leave work smelling delicious, and I never have to worry about running out of shower gel or Wallflower bulbs. With that being said, here are eight confessions from my Bath & Body Works experiences.
1. Yes, I really do use these products.
And I own more of them than I would like to admit. Don't look in my closet. Or in my purse. Or in my shower.
2. I'm a candle snob.
Glade? Nope, never. It's Bath & Body Works or nothing. I bought a candle from HomeGoods once, and I felt like I was cheating on my boyfriend. Plus, it just wasn't the same. If you have never used a Bath & Body Works candle, I suggest you purchase one, take a deep breath and prepare for your life to change forever.
3. All my white shirts are tinted pink from the red aprons.
Looking like I washed a red sock with my white clothing is a small price to pay for living the dream.
4. When I get bored at work, I combine fragrances to create new scents.
When things are slow, I don't sit on my phone or hide in the back. Instead, I turn into a chemist and find the best fragrance combinations our store has to offer. So far, my favorite combination is warm vanilla sugar and white citrus. It smells like lemon cookies. You're welcome.
5. I check my e-mail everyday before I go to work.
Most of the time, I check to see if the three-wick candles are on sale for $12.50 (the best deal EVER!), but I also check for e-mail coupons. Bath & Body works is all about the coupons. There's nothing better than opening an e-mail to find that you received a coupon for $10 off of a $30 purchase.
6. I saw you put that stack of used blotter cards next to the "Try me" spray.
No, I'm not going to come yell at you.
7. I laugh to myself every time someone comes in and thinks they're at Bed Bath & Beyond.
We do not sell curtains or picture frames. And no, you can't use your Bed Bath & Beyond gift card here.
8. No matter how old I get, my favorite Bath & Body Works fragrance will always be cucumber melon.
I loved it when I was in elementary school, and I still love it today. Nothing compares to this fresh, clean scent or the nostalgia that comes with it. This fragrance is currently only available online, but I promise it's worth waiting the four-to-seven business days.
