Hey all! Lindsay and I did some shopping during the Pumpkin Preview event at Bath and Body Works this week and thought we'd share our picks.
Lindsay
As a lover of all thing pumpkin and fall, I got quite a few of the wallflower bulbs, which were on sale 4/$20 or 6/$24: one in Blackberry Spice, two in Pumpkin Apple, one in Pumpkin Caramel Latte, and two in Pumpkin Cupcake.
I also picked up some hand soaps which were 4/$15 or 6/$20: one in each Pumpkin Apple (which isn't online yet), Pumpkin Caramel Latte, Pumpkin Cupcake, and Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin.

I was a pretty good girl at Bath and Body Works, but I did pick up three candles even though they were full price. I had a $10 off survey coupon, so I justified it that way. I held off because I heard the candles are going to be on sale 2/$22 soon... but I couldn't hold off on getting Leaves (which I've never had before but is one of Lindsay's favorites!), Cider Donut and Pumpkin Cupcake ("Twinsies!!" Also, if you're a girl - or a guy, even - watch this video, especially at 0:50).
My behavior at Yankee Candle, however, may have been a bit out of hand. But thank god for a certain $20 off a purchase of $45 or more coupon that was valid for the Halloween Preview event. I got three candles: Apple Cider, Candied Apple, and Witches' Brew, which is only around for a limited time. If you like Patchouli, you should definitely go check out Witches' Brew. I also got WB in five Tarts wax melts too.
For accessories at Yankee Candle, I got a few items from the Halloween line: this beautiful black cat crackle candle shade, this Jack O Lantern tart warmer, this Boney Bunch Top Hat jar candle shade, this Boney Bunch Illuma-lid, and the splurge piece of the day - this Bone White and the Seven Dwarves jar holder (because Snow White is and always has been my favorite Disney Princess). I have this out with my Summer Wish large Housewarmer jar burning right now. It clashes with the season but I really do not care because I am so in love with it.
Did you guys shop the BBW Pumpkin Preview event or the YC Halloween Preview event? I didn't get to work the YC Party this year, but I did go because I made my apple brownies and my mother's favorite fragrance is Witches' Brew so as you can imagine, she stockpiled up enough to last her for a while.
Do you have a fragrance that is/was limited edition and that you have multiples of? I don't personally, because I have so many individual scents to go through. But I would be devastated if Midsummer's Night was ever discontinued. But I'm sure that the entire YC Community would be up in arms if it ever was, because it's a fragrance that's been around since I was a kid, probably longer!
Have a great week everyone! I will be in NJ on vacation visiting Lindsay and family, so I'm sure some hauls and posts will be coming your way...
Eva.

The Sunday Haul
Hey everyone, Eva here. Lindsay didn't buy anything this week but I think I went a little crazy at Victoria's Secret this week. I made a couple of stops before work and did a little bit of damage each time that just kept adding up. This is the only Victoria's Secret store I like shopping at out of the three I can get to easily because the associate are so freaking friendly and wonderful.
I live in upstate NY but and a NJ native. I often go back to visit and I have had more than a few experiences with snotty associates back home, hence why I probably stayed away from trying VS products. It's unfortunate, but it's true. But this once store, every single time I go in, no matter who is working, they are always so nice and helpful. I'm not a regular at that store, but you can bet I will be.
Also, in a few weeks, I'll be headed back to NJ for a short vacation to see my family and Lindsay! You can most definitely expect for good hauls from us because we are self-proclaimed shopaholics.
Anyway, on to this week's haul!
Eva
I went to Victoria's Secret and did some massive damage.
All of the Fantasies were on sale for 3/$25 or 5/$30, as they almost always are. I got the scent Sparkling Sun (lemon chiffon and sun kissed orchid) from the Beach Dreams Collection in fragrance mist and lotion, as well as Ocean Bloom (ocean breeze and apple blossom) in fragrance mist and lotion. From the Brights collection, I got Love Rush (wild currant and bright lily) in lotion, shower gel, and fragrance mist, as well as Lemon Escape in the eau de toilette and body scrub (I LOVE this scent so much). In the scent Pure Seduction, I got a shower gel and fragrance mist. Then in Love Spell, I got a fragrance mist, lotion, shower gel and scrub.
From the PINK line, I got Sweet & Flirty fragrance mist, Ready To Party fragrance mist, and Wild At Heart body scrub / body wash.
Then Lindsay sent me some presents via my mother, who was in NJ for a few days, and she gave me another Sweet & Flirty mist, which my mother took off my hands, as well as Fresh & Clean fragrance mist and Wild & Breezy fragrance mist.
I also picked up some stuff from Victoria's Secret that I found on a sale table for 75% off that I picked up for Lindsay - Midnight Dare lotion, body wash, and fragrance mist (which was a good guess because she only has it in the body cream and really wanted it). I do believe Midnight Dare went on sale for Semi-Annual but some stores may have some left over. I'm not sure why it isn't discounted online though. I got each piece for $2.50 or $3.00. I also found a fragrance called Berry Kiss and when I saw the notes were raspberry and praline, I knew that had Lindsay's name all over it so I got her a lotion and fragrance mist. I can't even find that one online, so check your local VS clearance section!
By the way, I know I went a little overboard, but I am justifying it because I am taking a huge BBW Semi Annual Sale bag full of unused body products that have been collecting dust to Vera House tomorrow morning before work. If you haven't heard about Vera House and what they do, you can check them out at http://www.verahouse.org/. But in short, they do amazing work for women and families affected by domestic violence in the Syracuse area. So if you are ever looking to clean out your stash, instead of giving it away to family or friends, keep your local women's charities in mind.
If you are in an abusive or harmful relationship, don't endure it, speak out. Get help and keep reaching out until someone listens - you can always go to the police, to a hospital, to a doctor or anyone in a position of authority. There are people out there who care about your health and safety, I promise you, because I know I do. And please, if you know someone in an abusive relationship, don't stay silent or stand idly by and hope someone else takes action. Say something, speak out. You may just be what saves that person's life.
I'll talk to you all tomorrow,

The Sunday Haul
Hey y'all! It's been an exciting week round these parts but somehow Lindsay and I both found some time to go shopping ;)
Eva
I ended up taking home this adorable acorn tart warmer from Yankee Candle because they were running a coupon for $20 off a purchase of $45 or more. I also decided to get my mother some cabin themed accessories for her anniversary, including the Lodge Crackle candle shade and the candle plate that matches it. I also couldn't pass up this faux antler jar holder because my stepfather is a hunter and it matches the cabin perfectly.
I also stopped over to Bath & Body Works to pick up some candles that were on sale for $12 (and still are!) and ended up getting another Summertime S'mores because I just finished my other one. I also got Paris Daydream, which seems very similar to a holiday candle BBW made called Sparkling Icicles, and Meet Me In Tahiti, which reminds me very much of Yankee Candle's Sun And Sand (which is currently on sale in store buy one get one 50% off, along with Mountain Lodge and Beach Walk).
Disclaimer: I do work for Yankee Candle as a part time sales associate but I do NOT make commission or any kind of compensation for mentioning their products in this post or anywhere on this blog, and would not accept such commission if it were ever offered. My job here is to be completely honest, no matter what.
Lindsay
I went to Bath and Body Works this week and picked up a 2-Pack Wallflower refill of Mint Chocolate, which came out for the Semi-Annual Sale. My store still had some left, so if you want this fragrance, I encourage you to go check your store for any left ASAP. I also grabbed Sugar Berry Smash in the lotion, shower gel and fragrance mist and it is currently on sale for $5 each, so if you're interested, go check it out!
I also went to Victoria's Secret to pick up another set of Love Spell in the fragrance mist, hydrating body lotion and daily body wash. This fragrance is an absolute classic.
Did you guys get anything this week? If you did, share your haul in the comments!
