Bath & Body Works Semi Annual Haul (#1)

I started off the Bath & Body Works semi annual sale saying I don’t need anything.  Well … because I am a sucker for a sale and e-mailed information on sales always gets me, I ended up making a pit stop at Bath & Body Works and buying a few things.

I was completely out of the plug in wall flowers AND hand soap – so I decided to get a few things because honestly, it’s such a great deal.  I love Bath & Body Works hand soaps. I bought a couple bottles during the last sale and since I’m the only one who uses (my boyfriend doesn’t want to smell like a field of flowers – so he uses regular hand soaps) them they can be rationed.

As mentioned I’m a sucker for a sale … I’m also a sucker for a coupon.  I received a $10 off $40 coupon sent to me via text message from Bath and Body Works, so of course I had to put that to use.  Yeah, on the bottom of our receipts we always get a $10 off $30 coupon, but since those don’t expire and this one sent to me via text did, I decided to use that first.  Anyway!  Here’s all that I purchased:

Hand Soaps:

-          Moonlight Path

-          Raspberry Pink Peony

-          Island Margarita

-          Wild Honeysuckle

-          Island Nectar

Body Wash:

QUESTION:

BzzAgent Review: Lysol Touch of Foam

When I was invited to take part of the BzzAgent Lysol Touch of Foam BzzCampaign I have to say I was QUITE excited!

I happen to be obsessed with washing my hands.  It was something my mother grilled into me from an early age.  It's not truly an “obsession”, but if my hands feel dirty or if I've been touching things that aren't that clean (like in a dusty store, etc.) I feel "itchy" and have to wash my hands.  Because of this, my hands have gotten quite beaten up over the last year.  I work with a lot of paper at work and that mixed with the constant washing of my hands and the colder environment has truly wrecked my hands.  I have been looking for a soap that would not tear my hands apart or just further accentuate the roughness of my hands and I'm pretty sure I found my new holy grail.

From the first time I used this soap I have been hooked.  I’ve been looking for a soap that would not dry out my skin and this one does not do that.  It actually hydrates and leaves my skin feeling moisturized and as if I’ve just applied layers of lotion.  It also leaves a very gorgeous scent on my skin which lingers for a while.  It’s very soft and subtle, so it’s definitely not something that someone would smell on you from across the room.  It just makes me feel clean and fresh.  It definitely tones down the roughness on my hands, particularly where my skin is “cracking” due to my skin being beat up so much.  Completely fabulous!

I can’t rave about this hand soap any more … I need to stock up when it goes on sale.

Couponing at Dollar Tree?!

Did you know Dollar Tree is now accepting coupons?  I saw it come across on Facebook on one of the couponing websites I have liked and shrugged it off until I went into Dollar Tree yesterday and was asked if I had any coupons.  That raised my eyebrow because I figured everything is $1 what ever could you coupon with?  Since I needed to get some hand soap and dish detergent, I decided to see what deal I could score at Dollar Tree and I got 8 bottles of product for $4.  Not bad, not bad at all.

If you’re interested in how their coupon policy works the coupon has to be a manufacturer coupon, has to not be expired, and has to be an exact match to the product in the store – do take note of size restrictions on coupons.  BTW not a lot of their employees know they take coupons and not all stores are taking them just yet – it’s branching out and many employees who work in stores that take coupons have not been trained on how to accept them.  The store I went to purchase the items took coupons, but when I got to check-out the girl up front wasn’t aware and gave me my coupons back.  She had to ask someone and they have an instruction sheet at checkout.  It’s a bit of a painstaking process and it will slow down the line as they have to manually enter the value of the coupon into the system.  Ah, the life of a couponer!

The coupons I had were $1 off of the purchase of 2, so I felt that was justifiable.  I ended up picking up the following items:

2 Softsoap Juicy Apple body washes

2 Soft Soap soap refills in Soothing Aloe Vera

2 Soft Soap pump soaps in Soothing Aloe Vera & Milk Protein and Honey

2 Palmolive Dish soap in Apple scent
