Dear Bath and Body Works How Did You Get My Best Friend To Pay Full Price for a Candle?

Come on in guys let’s all sit around and talk candles. Bath and Body Works Fall 2021 hit White Barn this weekend and I admit I went in and walked around the store inspecting them! I just really wanted to wander around like a weirdo sniffing them like to get a little Fall serotonin high but COVID has made me scared to put my nose near any surface that’s been touched by ten thousand people. I went into Lush with my sister last week and I was simply aghast they still had chunks of soap laying around. I shuddered in fear and anxiety as people were touching them and putting them back down. Ugh the gross factor. You see, I rarely purchase anything that’s left open at Lush. It really squeaks me out that so many people touch bath bombs, smell them, and put them down. It’s just gross to me. I tend to buy my Lush online because of this. But with COVID I’m even more of a freak about it.

So, yeah, watching a bunch of people sniffing the lids of the candles and putting them back on had me mildly panicked.

That being said, my inner basic bitch loves that there’s so much Fall everything rolling into stores. It really hit early this year as typically Bath and Body Works used to wait until August to roll out Fall and Halloween but many people are already starting to see new floor sets in stores especially at Test Store Locations.

I managed to spritz some of the new Pumpkin Pecan Waffles Fragrance Mist onto a card and sniff it. It’s a spot on dupe for the candle. I don’t LOVE the candle to be honest but I’m digging this in a fragrance mist. It smells delicious. I snagged up at a B3G3 that was available on site this past weekend (which I think is still on).

Anyway….

Serious question, did you ever fall so deeply in love with a Bath and Body Works Candle that you paid full price for it?!?!?!

I’ve never done this even when they were like $20 each way back in the day. Not once have I ever snagged one at full price in all my time purchasing them. I just always felt like $20 was too much and now at over $25 it’s even worst. I always wait for a 2 for $25 deal or $10 off etc….! But never have I paid full price! Even for ones I really love.

Have you?

My best friend texted me this morning and said, “The Iced Dragonfruit Candle is amazing and I just paid full price for it!” to which I replied, “Really!?” and there was a “IZZY!” That’s when I know things are going to be serious….haha… “It is worth it!”

Now I have to smell this candle for myself and see why it’s worth $25.50! Haha!

What about you?

Ever paid full price for a candle?
