Bath & Body Works Fresh Picked Strawberries Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap Review & Pictures

Bath & Body Works Fresh Picked Strawberries Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap Review & PicturesWhen I was a kid, my parents had a strawberry patch in their backyard. Each year, we’d try our best to get to the fruits before the ants did. (They beat us sometimes. Those little buggers!)

As much as I love eating strawberries, I find that sometimes the scent gets lost in translation when incorporated into beauty products.

Most times, I don’t like the artificial strawberry scent. There have only been a handful of occasions when I did. (Talk to Mr. Nose. He’s a total snob. Sometimes he wears dark sunglasses and does the whole diva bit.) 😉

Although I wanted it to wow Mr. Nose, unfortunately, the Bath & Body Works Fresh Picked Strawberries Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap was a huge miss. I won’t be repurchasing this.

Slatkin & Co. Passion Flower Candle Review & Pictures

Slatkin & Co. Passion Flower Candle Review & Pictures Bath & Body WorksI’ve had the Slatkin & Co. Passion Flower Candle since last year, but I’m only getting around to reviewing it now.

Instead of all the heavy or spicy scents that winter brought us, this spring scent is light and juicy. What a refreshing change!

It produces a nice fragrance, but I can’t say that it’s my favourite Slatkin & Co. scented candle. In fact, I had to “Bust” this candle. I’ll tell you why in this post.

What are some scents that remind you of the spring? Do you change your candles based on the season? Or do you hold onto your favourites all year long?

Cake Strawberry Shortcake Decadent Bath & Shower Suds Review & Pictures

Cake Strawberry Shortcake Decadent Bath & Shower Suds Review & PicturesDo you remember Strawberry Shortcake? I sure do! When I was a kid, I had Strawberry Shortcake bed sheets, pillow cases, plus a doll, and a comic book.

Like Strawberry Shortcake, her friends were equally dressed in over-the-top cute get-ups, and they had loveable pets at their side.

(I always loved how Strawberry Shortcake’s cat was called Custard. Made me hungry, too!)

It’s perfect that Cake Beauty teamed up with Strawberry Shortcake to celebrate her 30th anniversary. 🙂

I tried the Cake Strawberry Shortcake Decadent Bath & Shower Suds after receiving it as a Christmas gift from my sister-in-law. The scent was wonderfully nostalgic! Let me tell you more!

AQUIESSE Rioja Candle Review & Pictures

AQUIESSE Rioja Candle Review & PicturesIf you’ve followed my candle reviews, you know that I gravitate toward sweet scents that remind me of baked goods.

But I do like to explore options, so I welcomed the opportunity to try out a completely different (and much more sophisticated) fragrance.

You may remember that back in October, I tried out another scent (Luxe Linen) from this new-to-me candle brand. While that other scent was nice, I prefer this one.

The AQUIESSE Rioja Candle is the first citrus candle I’ve ever tried, and I like it. Allow me to tell you more. Continue reading

Bath & Body Works Iced Gingerbread Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap Review & Pictures

Bath & Body Works Iced Gingerbread Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap Review & PicturesWith the Hello Yellow Sale at Bath & Body Works going on, it seemed like a great opportunity to stock up on hand soap.

I’ve been getting into them more because I love how there are so many different scents to choose from, and they’re anti-bacterial.

Today’s feature is the Bath & Body Works Iced Gingerbread Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap!

With gingerbread in the name, it was hard to resist. Would it smell like actual gingerbread, or would it be more like a ginger cookie?

Let me share my thoughts with you! Continue reading

Now you can you have your Cake and slather it on your hands, too. Continue reading

Bath & Body Works Pearberry Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap Review & Pictures

Bath & Body Works Pearberry Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap Review & PicturesWhen I was in daycare, I met a girl who always ate the white glue. (I can’t remember her name, so let’s just call her Miranda.)

While the rest of us would use the popsicle sticks to smear the glue onto our art projects, Miranda was using them as spoons to scoop the glue from the bowl and then shovel it down the hatch.

Being curious, I asked her why she ate it, and I told her that it wasn’t food. She didn’t answer and helped herself to more before the daycare workers came and took away the bowl.

Why am I bringing this up? Sometimes I enjoy rambling! Haha…seriously, though, there is a point.

The first time I used the Bath & Body Works Pearberry Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap, it smelled so delicious that I wanted to eat it! (Of course I didn’t, though. The Miranda in me was very tempted…) Continue reading
