I’ve been using the Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Shower Gel every morning since I bought it – just can’t get enough! It’s my favorite product in the collection.
And I’ve finally put my finger on exactly what it smells like. Yes, there’s a noticeable mixture of vanilla, caramel, cake batter, sugar cookies, and marshmallows that I mentioned in my previous post, but what Vanilla Bean Noel smells exactly like is a soft caramel square.

Although I’m surrounded by co-workers who love Bath & Body Works lotions, I never really got into it…until now. Fiona said, “It just takes that one scent.” Too true! When browsing the store on a whim, I decided to take a whiff of the Vanilla Bean Noel HandiBac. It made my nose smile with the notes of vanilla, caramel, sugar cookie, marshmallow, and cake batter. I wanted to eat it! That’s how delicious it smelled!
First thing’s first. I want to make it very clear that I’m not a Twilight fan. Saw the first movie when my sister-in-law ‘forced’ me to and practically fell asleep because I didn’t like the characters or the plot. Totally don’t understand the phenomenon.
Hallowe’en is almost here. Are you ready for fright night? Bath & Body Works is! They’ve come out with limited-edition antibacterial gels for the occasion.
Unless you’ve been living under a pumice stone, you’ve no doubt heard the hype surrounding the Clarisonic Mia. Supposedly it removes all traces of makeup, and improves your skin tone. These miraculous accomplishments had to be put to the test, but spending over $100 was hard to swallow.
Hallowe’en is one of my favorite holidays because it gives everyone an excuse to wear insane costumes and embrace their edgy dark side.
