Bath and Body Works Golden Sunflower Perfume for Fall 2020

What are the chances that Bath and Body Works Golden Sunflower Perfume is anything like Elizabeth Arden Sunflower? Just between us? I still love Elizabeth Arden Sunflower as much as I did when I was a freshman in High School! I think Sunflower is sort of my first real “adult” perfume memory. I mean, there was body mists and perfumes from CVS like Exclamation (am I dating myself here? I am right?) but my first real counter perfume memory is Sunflower. To this day I still own a bottle and mist it on from time to time.

I wonder if the new Bath and Body Works Golden Sunflower Perfume will smell like it?

For Fall 2020, Bath and Body Works launched this in the Signature Collection that includes shower gel, body lotion, and fragrance mist. There’s also an EDP formula as well! According to the brand the notes include sunflower petals, orange flower and fresh vanilla.

I like the smell of sunflowers and of course vanilla but orange flower can be iffy. For example, Lush Orange Blossom is gorgeous but sometimes white florals don’t always work well for me. I’m not sure how I feel about sunflowers, vanilla, and orange flower appearing all in one fragrance. Will it be sweet? Will it be all floral? Someone rated the fragrance mist a three but sadly, the review was removed it looks like.

Anyone smell Bath and Body Works Golden Sunflower Perfume yet?

Did you enjoy it?

I’m looking forward to trying it out and I’ll let you know what I think!

Bath and Body Works Golden Sunflower is available now online and it should be hitting stores this weekend or next week at the latest!

There’s Some Normalcy in New York But For Black Lives There Is Still More We Can Do

As you know from my post yesterday life in New York is slowly returning to normal. Yesterday, we reported some of lowest COVID numbers yet. Hopefully this will continue as we move into the Fall and Winter. We all have to stay positive and have hope that we’ll continue to all be ok.

For those still going through this horrible situation please know I’m thinking of you.

Sadly, things are normal in the black lives world as of yet. There is still much unrest and many injustices and wrongs that have not been righted.

When the Black Lives Matter Movement raged on full force several weeks ago I took part in a march and made some personal donations to charities I felt were good fits for my beliefs. At the time I also made a promise I’d be featuring more black owned beauty brand and that has come really full force with me during the pandemic as I was testing a variety of new and different hair care products from many different black owned businesses (don’t worry! They’ll be makeup too!). As per my promise in the next several weeks and months ahead I’ll be featuring a variety of different products I tried out and loved in the hopes that this shows my alignment with the movement and also, to bring positive attention to these brands.

I’ll also be monitoring the reviews and products I feature and the ad revenue that they generate. That ad revenue will doubled be by my own personal funds and it will be donated to a New York organization called Life Camp Inc. I don’t normally speak about charities, donations, and organization that I support because I believe that is a personal issue and not one to be flaunted around on a blog post or across social media. But I do think that in this case I wanted to share what I was doing behind the scenes regarding these issues!

There’s still much to do in the Black Lives Matter Movement and this is a very small way I can help. Donations are not something that will change the way people think, see, or understand this movement but I have hopes it will help in some very small way.

We still have much work to do. You can help by signing petitions, supporting brands that are black owned, listening, learning, and educating yourself on the topic.

We’re all in this together.

Bath & Body Works Fall 2020 Fragrance Mists Arrive With A Few New Scents

Bath and Body Works Fall 2020 Fragrance Mists and Body Care arrives today with two new scents one of which is Sugared Cherry Crisp and the other Vanilla Mocha Cafe. I’m hearing really good things about the new fragrances and I’m ever so delighted their are new Signature Fall Fragrance Mists because it always feels like Bath and Body Works plays it safe around the Holidays and does the same round of scents over and over and over again! It’s great they brought back favorites like Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte but also, took the initiative to introduce a few other fragrances. I think the Holiday fragrances, for me personally, were a raging success! For example, Bath and Body Works Christmas Cocoa & Mint got some poor reviews but I gave it a great one! I loved it and I loved they did so many new scents last year. I hope they do it again this year and I hope Fall 2020 brings us even more than what we are seeing today.

As you know Bath and Body Works has already brought back Bonfire Bash and Sweater Weather as well so, these other scents are additional Fall releases.

Here’s what’s back and here’s what new in the Bath and Body Works Fall 2020 Signature Collection.
