Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale Tips and Tricks



Hey everyone! Today's post is inspired by one of my friends from high school! Sean, reached out to me with a tip regarding the BBW semi-annual sale and I thought it was a great tip and realized that there are a bunch of ticks to help you get the best deal during the sale! Let's dive in...

Semi Annual Dates Are Approximately: Mid June- First Week of July and December 26th- Month of January

The semi-annual sale always starts the day after Christmas in the winter but the June date is always a bit of a surprise. Usually we have an idea of when it will begin, but the exact date does change each year.


The In-Store Sale is Always Better

Unfortunately for those of us who prefer to shop online (especially during the current climate) the in-store sale is always a bit better. Some items will start at 75% off and even get up to 90% off in store. At the time of writing this the in-store sale is 75% and the online sale is 50% off. That being said, you may find more items online but the discount will never be as steep.


Get Free Shipping Online

Although BBW doesn't often offer free shipping, there is a way to potentially get it. First off, sign into your account and fill your basket with anything you want. Next, leave your basket. Let it sit for a few days. You should receive a reminder email from BBW letting you know that there are still items in your basket and in that email they will often offer you a unique shipping code. This isn't 100% fool-proof but it's certainly worth a try!

In Store Pick Up + Survey = Free Gift Card

Now, this tip is from my friend Sean. He recently placed a BBW order and did free in store pickup in order to avoid the shipping fees. After he picked up his order he received an email to complete a survey about in-store pickup. Once he did this, he got a $15 gift card for his time! This may be a short-lived since in-store pickup seems to be new, but if you do have this available in your area I would certainly take advantage of it!

My Bath and Body Works Loyalty Program

Unfortunately this tip isn't going to apply to everyone, myself included. Download the Bath & Body Works Loyalty Program App where you will receive coupons and be a member of their loyalty program. Right now this program has only been rolled out in a handful of states and mine is not one of them but if you live in a state that is involved definitely get signed up right away and claim your rewards!

Discounted Gift Cards

If you are planning on making a ton of purchases at the semi-annual sale consider buying discounted gift cards online! Raise.com is a great resource where you can buy a gift card that someone received as a gift and doesn't want for a slightly reduced rate. It may not be a huge savings but if you can buy a $50 gift card for $48 a save yourself a couple of bucks it may be worth it!

Buying Candles Is Not Worth It

The best time to buy candles is not during the semi-annual sale. The best time to purchase candles is during the annual candle day sale in December. (I think last year it was December 9th? It is always around the beginning of the month) Do not be suckered into buying candles at 50% off, this is NOT a good deal! That being said, if you really need or want a candle, go for it. Just don't believe that you scored the best deal of the year because that's not the case! Last December after a 20% off coupon I managed to get candles for $7.60 each!

Know Your Stock Up Price

With my candle rant over, you should definitely know what your stock up price is. There are always exceptions such as; your favorite scent that you can never find, desperately needing an item (hand soap) and not being able to wait for a sale, etc. My general stock-up prices are:

Candles: $8 or less
Hand Soaps: $2.50 or less
Shower Gels: $3.50 or less
Lotions: $3.50 or less

Your stock-up prices might be higher or lower than mine, but definitely see what the lowest prices you can get items are and stick around that number. There's no reason to pay more than you have to!


Coupons, Coupons, Coupons...

Often coupons are elusive during the semi-annual sale! However, I just received a "welcome back" coupon in the mail that can only be used in-store. Although, I've already been to the sale once this year it definitely is pressuring me to head there again to use my coupon! 

Did you know that you get better coupons if you are one of their top shoppers? So, the more you shop the better coupons you receive in the mail! I'm certainly not telling you to spend a ton of money, but make sure when you receive a free product coupon you get in there to redeem it! There have been times I have gone to the mall, walked in and picked up my free item and left. If you are in the area anyways you might as well stop in!

Stack Coupons With Sales = Buy In Bulk

Okay, it sounds simple but this is the "secret sauce" to being a coupon. We simply stack coupons with sales/promotions in order to get the biggest savings and then we buy in bulk. On candle day, I purchased as many candles as I could until I hit the limit of candles I was allowed in that store on that day. I could've hit up several different stores and really gone to town but I chose to just do one store. That being said, I still have plenty of candles to last me until the next candle day in December. (I also gave away at least half of the candles I purchased as gifts)

I try to always have back stock of everything I use. Hand soaps, shower gels, lotions, etc... Buy enough to get yourself to the next semi-annual sale. Stock up those hand soaps. 

If anyone is interested I can always do an updated look on my couponing stockpile (it's majorly depleted after not couponing for months) but it might give you a better idea of how much I keep on my shelves at any given time.

*********

With all of that said, I really do believe the BBW Semi-Annual Sale to be a great time to get out there and stock up on items. I hope that you are able to score some great deals before the sale comes to a close and definitely let me know if you have any tips that you would like me to add to this list!

September Empties

Happy Monday!

I'm sharing all my September empties today-which seems to include a LOT of household empties and not so many beauty empties this time. We are only 19 days out from the wedding so posting may be a little sporadic (as you saw last week). We have a ton going on right now and honestly some details I don't want to share until I have the professional photographs and can properly show you what things looked like. Then I'll get into more DIY details and share more of the process!

So let's get into this!



Not a ton of empties this month but I've been doing bare minimum around here. Makeup has consisted of eyeliner and mascara. I'm cleaning the bare minimum to keep up because every day my to-do list is massive. Welcome to the final month of wedding planning I suppose.


Every month I save the chapsticks I've used and this month I've finished four. I'm still obsessed with the cake batter flavor and I'm still using chapstick constantly!


Two eyeliners this month. My Marc Jacobs eyeliner wasn't as good as other ones I've had. It must've just been a bad batch but it dried up and was crumbly. However I LOVED this Physicians Formula eyeliner. It was awesome and went on so nicely, I will definitely repurchase this in the future. It's funny how some times the drug store brands are nicer then the high end.


Two candles were used up this month. Tim picked out the Banana Split Milkshake and we both loved it! It was a great end of summer scent and I would definitely purchase this again next year. I chose the Costa Rica candle and thought it was incredible as well. I would get this in the future if I saw it at a future Semi-Annual Sale.



Here is the majority of my used up products this month. I am loving the Clorox Toilet Wand refills. It's nice to replace the toilet brush each time rather then having something disgusting sitting in the bathroom! I won the Acelo sponges in a giveaway and I liked them. I would definitely purchase them in the future. The OxiClean Laundry Detergent was nice but I prefer Tide but would get it again while couponing. I also love the Mrs. Meyers Dish Soaps. The Bluebell I won in a giveaway and I don't love the scent but the Basil is my favorite scent and I will definitely be buying this again and again!

What have you used up this month?

June Empties and Declutter

Happy 4th of July to all my American friends! To everyone else- Happy Wednesday! We are halfway through the week :)

Today I'm sharing all of my June empties with you and also a declutter! I finally managed to declutter two items that were just realllllly old but I was having an extremely hard time letting go of.

While we're already chatting about it- let's just start with the declutter shall we?


So many items! I had a ton of products in my collection that were just really old or I never used so it was time to let them go! The Naked palettes are so of my favorites but I purchased them back in 2013 meaning they are 4 years old! I really shouldn't be putting powder that old on my eyes AND I have new palettes that aren't getting any attention because I'm too busy using these up. Time to say goodbye!

Some other shadows I gave up were an Urban Decay Sin single which I loved but came at the same time as the palettes, two coastal samplers that I never use, a Pop trio which I hate the consistency of and the purple is not flattering, and a a Cargo sample I think I've used once. I also had two finishing sprays that were well past their expiration dates. Two shadow sticks that were almost empty and pretty old. A couple highlighters I never use along with two NYX powders that are SO old. The Physicians Formula blush is really old and way too pink for me and the Rosehip Oil broke me out. Finally the Garnier Fructis bottle has been around for wayyyyy too long and is probably disgusting.

I also ditched three brushes that I never use!

22 items out of my Alex 9 drawer and I feel so much better! There's probably still a ton I could get rid of but for now this makes me feel good!

Now onto the empties for the month- and there are quite a few!


Three of my household empties are up first. I am still loving the Mrs. Meyers mint products and this dish soap is no exception. The smell is simply fresh and clean which makes for doing dishes fairly pleasant which is all I can ask!
The Mrs. Meyers Radish Multi-surface spray was not my favorite! I love these sprays in other scents but the Radish was just not my cup of tea- I did completely use it up before moving on but I much prefer other scents from the collection (especially Basil- AMAZING!) so I will not repurchase it in this scent.
I had never used Gain laundry detergent before and I liked it. The scent was great and I would repurchase it in the future but I think I may prefer my Tide! I have seen many different scents from Gain though so I may have to try some others in the future.


Three great scent products this month. The first is a candle I received as a gift from Anthropologie and it was amazing! The jar itself is so pretty and the scent (I think it's called Capri Blue Volcano) is great. I'm not sure I would repurchase but it did make a lovely gift.
I picked up the Mrs. Meyers candle in Basil on a whim and I'm so glad I did. I would repurchase this over and over again! If you get a chance- pick up everything in Mrs. Meyers Basil- you won't be disappointed!
Lastly is a Bath and Body Works Wallflower and unfortunately I cannot tell you the name of the scent because I can't remember. I never pick up anything that's not beachy or Leaves though so it's definitely a beachy scent :) I liked it a lot but am excited to try something else.


Two shower gels completed this month. I absolutely HATED Bath and Body Works Cozy Sunday Morning. I had to force myself to use it up because it smelt terrible to me. I know I could've just thrown it away but I wanted to finish it up and be done with it. I have learned my lesson and will never pick this up again!
Guava Pineapple Splash by Bath and Body Works was a fruity scent and just fine for shower gel. I probably wouldn't repurchase in the future just because I have other scents I prefer but it was nice!


Two sprays this month- the first is Bath and Body Works Amber Blush which I liked. I wouldn't repurchase just because I have other scents that I need to use up and want to try but I did really like it.

I also used up a sample of Flowerbomb which I have in full size and love!


I can't believe I have four makeup products to show you this month.

The first is a twist up blue eyeliner from Sephora which I really liked. The color was really pretty and I'm disappointed to be done with it. I have a lot of other eyeliners to get through before I would repurchase though and I may want to try other brands.

The BareMinerals Foundation sample was my favorite and I need to purchase a full size of it! I am so bummed I got to the end of it!

Two mascaras for you- the first is Pur Fully Charged Magnetic Mascara and I hated it. It was so clumpy and gross I could barely use it. It's technically not empty but I'm calling it that because at this point it's basically unusable it's so clumpy.

The second mascara is Covergirl Super Sizer and I did really like this. I'm not sure I would repurchase it in the future though because there are other mascaras I want to try and others I definitely like more.


With all that mascara I used my Marcelle makeup remover for sensitive eyes and I really liked this and would consider repurchasing it in the future.


The Garnier Fructis Flat Iron Express was nice and I could see myself buying a full size to use in my hair!

The Garnier Fructis Moisture Lock Shampoo is one of my favorites and I will definitely repurchase it in the future.

The Loreal Elvive shampoo and conditioner are really nice and moisturizing! I found they did great things for my hair and would definitely buy them again in the future.

The Caviar Hair Gel was okay- nothing special and I'm glad I got this sample out of my collection.


Four chapsticks this month- three in cake batter and one in candy cane. Cake batter is still my ultimate favorite and I just repurchased a 20 pack from Amazon!


Two hand soaps are completed, both from Softsoap. The lavender and chamomile is okay but definitely not my favorite. The Soothing Aloe Vera smells really nice and is very creamy but I definitely would repurchase it in the future.


The last category is lotion and I finished up three this month. 

The first is Bath and Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel. I am so sick of this scent and I will never purchase it again from Bath and Body Works unless it's in hand soap form. I can't deal with the fake vanilla scent with lotion and shower gel anymore. I'm so glad this is out of my collection but I think there may be one or two more hiding in there that I need to get through...

The Nivea Skin Firming Hydration was a lotion I kept in my drawer at work and it was amazing. It was so soft and soothing and made my hands feel great I would definitely consider repurchasing this in the future.

Lastly is Bath and Body Works Guava Pineapple Splash which I also used up the shower gel as you read above. I liked it, it was fruity and nice but definitely not my favorite compared to other scents so I would repurchase others before this one!


That's everything! I hope you enjoyed and let me know in the comments what you finished up this month!

Recent Household and Beauty Hauls

I have been on a strict less stuff kick for awhile now and have been busy working my way through my household and beauty products all year long. If you've been hanging out for awhile you've seen my empties posts and know I have been trying to finish up a ton of products. 

Well recently I finished every single one of my candles. Then I used up almost all of my hand soaps- seriously only 4 left in my stockpile...and those won't last long! I knew that I didn't want to pay full price for anything and I would be so mad at myself if I let myself completely run out of anything and had to pay full price for it. So when the Bath and Body Works semi-annual sale started I knew it was time to buy some items! 

In store I picked up quite a few items:


I picked up three hand soaps, five hand sanitizers and three candles. I let Tim help me pick out my items since he is using and smelling them too. He picked out the banana split milkshake candle and two of the hand sanitizers to bring to work with him. I'm excited to have all these new items and know that it will keep us from having to buy items at full price.


Well I didn't stop there....

I placed an online order for a TON of items so we would be well stocked for all seasons. (Yes, this means I purchased FOUR leaves candles....)

I picked up soaps, candles and refills for my air freshener. I also found some cute gifts for my bridesmaids.

While it may seem excessive I really hate paying full price for anything- so keeping my home well-stocked is important to me. I just need to work my way through old stuff before starting new stuff. Notice I didn't buy and lotions and shower gels? That's because I still have SO much to get through! I don't think I will need any of that for a few years honestly.

I also placed an order recently at Sephora.


I wanted to try the Clinque Moisture Surge since I have heard so many amazing things about it. In order to get to the $50 free shipping I also picked up the Clinque mascara that has been on my wishlist for awhile. Everything else pictured was free with my order- gotta love that!



Lastly, I placed my monthly order from Grove Collaborative.

I've discovered Basil is my absolute favorite Mrs Meyers scent so I picked up a dish soap, multi-surface cleaner and a candle in that scent. I also picked up the Caldrea room spray in sea salt neroli which smells amazing!

Stay tuned for reviews on all these items- you know they'll be in upcoming empties posts eventually! :)

Have a great day everybody!

May Empties and Declutter

It's Monday again....how is that a possibility?! I also can't believe we are already in June- it's finally warm here in Rhode Island and I am in my element. This is why we suffer through all those unbearable cold months! 

Today I'm going to share my empties from the month of May and also a couple of items I am decluttering. Here's an overview of everything:


Let's start with the two items I'm decluttering.


Lately my skin has been a huge issue and both of these face lotions just made it worse. I have super dry and sensitive skin and both of these made my skin super red. I just don't have time for products that make my skin worse so both of these are getting decluttered. I just placed a Sephora order for a product that I'm hoping will solve my skin problems...fingers crossed. I'm calling the Neutrogena and Aveeno products duds- see ya never.


Next up, two laundry products. I like these smaller containers since I'm hauling all our laundry to the coin operated machine in the basement. I regularly purchase Purex since that's what I grew up using and I do really like it. I would definitely repurchase this in the future. Xtra is something I use when I get it for free- it's just okay not something I would want to spend money on.


I love my cleaning products! I finished up this Pledge floor care cleaner which I would repurchase but I'm planning on buying something different this time. The Method Antibac toilet cleaner is nice and I would repurchase it again. The Mrs Meyers multi-surface spray in Mint is amazing and smells incredible. I have been loving Mrs Meyers scents and have been attempting to try out as many as possible so you will be seeing lots of different ones pop up in my empties!


I finished up one candle this month from Bath and Body Works in the scent vanilla. I picked this up while at HomeGoods since we completely ran out of candles! I know, I know I stockpile like crazy but I actually went through my entire stash. I will be hitting up the Bath and Body Works semi-annual sale this week to stock up on candles and a few other items. Anyways, this candle was nice but I always find that Yankee Candles don't have as much of a scent throw as other candles do. They tend to smell really good inside the container but once you light them it's hard to smell them throughout your space- such a bummer.  I wouldn't repurchase this one again because the size was just ridiculously tall and I wasn't getting much scent out of it at all.


I finished two hair products this month. The first is the Macadamia Nourishing Leave In Cream which I have been working on forever! I put this in my hair when it's wet after my shower and it keeps it moisturized while it dries. I love the smell of these products. The second product is Garnier Fructis Flat Iron Perfection which I did really like. I bought it on a recommendation and thought it did a great job of protecting my hair while I straightened it. I would repurchase since it's a nice cheap option for a protecting spray.

I should also mention I finished up samples of shampoo and conditioner while away for a weekend and lost the packets that I was going to bring home to share with you. I guess those were the best things to lose out of everything I brought with me but I was still bummed I couldn't share them with you guys!


I love Lavanilla's Healthy Deodorants. This one is in coconut vanilla and I really liked it! I did try out a new deodorant though and I like it just as much as these so I'm not sure which one I am going to stick with...I love that there are finally healthy deodorants that work great and are all natural!


I finished four chapsticks this month. Three were sugar cookie and one was cake batter. Cake batter is still my ultimate favorite and I'm getting awful close to the end of my stash. It might be just about time to replenish!


Lastly, I finished my floss that I keep in my purse. Kind of a lame empty but I thought it was worth mentioning. This is the Glide floss and I like keeping a container in my bag just in case!

What products did you finish up in May?

January Empties

I can't believe we're already one full month into the year!  January was a fun one with lots of time with friends, tons of lounging around the apartment to avoid the cold and I seemed to have used up quite a few products as well.


Check out my empties bin- getting pretty close to overflowing! I'm not sure if it was because I was focusing on finishing things up before opening something new or if I just got lucky with a lot of things being close to done. I finished up a ton of products this month either way and I'm here to share my thoughts with you!


First category up is laundry, not super exciting but I have found some products that I absolutely love. Tide Pods are one of my ultimate favorites even though lately they've been get a bad rep. People, don't be stupid and eat Tide Pods- they are too expensive to eat and you will die. They do, however, clean your clothes realllllly well! I also like that I can cart them up and down the stairs easily at my apartment. The Total Home Laundry Detergent was a freebie awhile back and it worked just fine. It's not something I would repurchase unless it's free again just because I have other products I like better. One of my favorite products of all time is Purex Crystals which make laundry smell amazing! I will keep repurchasing these on sale and loving them in the future.


I absolutely love candles! If I'm home I'm without a doubt burning a candle. I finished up quite a few candles this month. Leaves by BBW is my absolute favorite candle if you couldn't tell. I used up two full size candles and one mini. BBW Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin is one I finished this month and I liked it but won't be repurchasing it in the future. I finished a mini Yankee Candle Winter Garden which was a nice scent but not my favorite. Mini candles are not my favorite because they don't give off scent very well. I also finished an unscented beach glass candle which was pretty boring but I no longer wanted it in my collection so I knew I had to use it up.


Next up: hair products! Tresemme Heat Protectant was pretty good. It certainly did the job and the smell was nice but I have other products I want to try next so I will not be repurchasing. I liked the Garnier Fructis Moisture Lock but it wasn't my favorite conditioner. I always use up conditioner before shampoo! The purple shampoo from Beauty Protector was nice and I would really like to incorporate a purple shampoo into my haircare routine but I have another I would like to try next. Dove 2 in 1 Shampoo and Conditioner wasn't my favorite but I'm not a huge fan of 2 in 1 products. I will definitely not be purchasing a full size of this. The Disney Conditioner is a leftover from our trip to Disney. For a hotel product it works really well and I love the scent. With all the dry air my hair has been holding onto extra static so I was loving this Nexxus Hairspray while it lasted. The smell is amazing and I think it works great.


Five Chapsticks were used up. I've used Cake Batter, Sugar Cookie, and Candy Cane.  I am a huge fan of the cake batter as you may know but the others are great too!


Two face products in this category and a shampoo that I missed during the haircare photo. I mainly bought the Neutrogena Moisturizer due to the packaging. I know, I know that's terrible but look how gorgeous the blue is! I did like this moisturizer but I'm still looking for my holy grail product...any suggestions? I finished the last of my Pathology Mask which was alright. I am not a huge fan of sheet masks but this one was very moisturizing. I hated the Cowash Shampoo sample it did nothing for my hair so I certainly won't purchase it in the future.


For home products I finished a Dawn Caribbean Breeze Dish Soap which I loved the scent of. It smelled amazing and worked great. I wish I was done washing dishes by hand but hopefully that day will come soon! Method Shower Spray is one of my staples. I spray down my shower after every use which helps keep it from getting full of soap scum and whatever else can build up over time. BBW Merry Cookie Hand Soap was a super nice scent and although there are many other scents I would like to try out in the future before repurchasing this one.


I am on a mission to use up all my BBW Vanilla Bean Noel  products so you will see a shower gel and body cream in this months empties. I find this scent to be a little fake and I tend to receive it as a gift. I have some more lotions in this scent but soon it will be used up! I am SO proud that I finished up a Victoria's Secret Body Splash in Pretty In Pink which was not my favorite scent so I was determined to remove it from my collection. Gold Bond is a popular lotion brand but I think it feels like glue on my hands which isn't exactly what i wanted my hands to feel like when applying it. I won't be purchasing it in the future. BBW Pure Paradise Mini Lotion was one of my favorites and I received so many compliments on it. I used it at work regularly and will purchase this again in the future. BBW Fall Aspen Day Antibac was an okay product, I kept this in my purse for a long time and would repurchase antibacs but probably in different scents in the future.


So that's it for my empties! What products have you used up lately?

November Empties

Rabbit Rabbit!

Does anyone else out there say that first thing in the morning on the first of the month? I learned about that back in middle school and have tried to say it every month since for good luck!

I finished quite a few items this month but also ended up buying quite a few things and getting some freebies so my categories haven't changed all that much!



Here's what I finished up this past month...


I finished one mini body lotion in Maui Hibiscus Beach which I really liked. I love any sort of beachy scent and this lotion was great I would definitely repurchase.


I finished up four face care samples. The first was a Yes To Grapefruit scrub which I forgot how much I hated in the past. The smell is terrible and I will make sure I do not repurchase this in the future.

The Balance Me Congested Skin Serum was just okay. I don't feel the need to repurchase because it did nothing magical for my skin.

I liked the Foreo Cleanser because it was so creamy and made my skin feel like it was being treated to a mask. The consistency felt like a yogurt just like the description on the front.

The last face care sample was Clinque Pep Start which was a facial scrub which I liked but didn't love! I don't think I would buy this in the future.


Two dish soaps were used up in November but both were Dawn escapes in New Zealand Springs Scent. I love this dish soap. The teal color is gorgeous and the smell is incredible. I will continue to purchase this with coupons.


For the hair category I used up a few samples and upgraded my wet brush to a new one. The bristles started falling out and it was time to move on to a new one.

I used up a terrible sample of Shea Moisture Curl and Shine shampoo. I really dislike Shea Moisture products and this one was no different.

The Briogeo Don't Despair Repair was just okay I don't feel the need for this because I love my regular hair mask.

DryBar Bay Breeze was okay as well. I don't think I will buy a full size in the future but I did enjoy the sample.

Lastly for hair products is Oribe Anti-Humidity Spray. I love all the Oribe products I've tried but they are pretty pricey so I was glad to try out this sample!


I finished up three cake batter chapsticks which you all should know about by now if you've been reading the blog. 

The Physician Formula mascara was nice. It wasn't super wet which is always a plus for me when it comes to mascara. I thought my lashes looked nice with it on but I certainly have other mascaras I prefer to this one and will not be repurchasing it.


Two cleaning products; one of which is the Swiffer Sweeper Wet Wipes. I like these but have found that I prefer cleaning with a mop and bucket because my floors get cleaner that way.

The second is a small pack of Clorox wipes which I kept in my car for quick cleanups. I liked these but found that they dried out quickly.


I am oficially tossing my Naked Basics palette. It's not used up at all but the black shadow shattered and no matter how hard I try the other colors are still a mess because of it. I don't want to mess with it anymore and am just letting this go!


I used up one BBW candle in marshmallow fireside which I enjoyed so much. I will definitely repurchase this candle next year. I love the smoky scent of it and the scent throw is great as well.

I really like this Glade Spray in Powder Fresh which we use when the apartment smells less then wonderful. I will definitely coupon for these in the future.

The Pillow Mist was just okay. I've had it for years and I don't think it's a necessary item so I will not be repurchasing.

The car vent clip is another one of my favorites. I keep repurchasing the tropical scents because those are my all time favorite.


The Secrets of the Islands scrub is great and I purchased this one after getting one as a gift a few years ago. I actually have purchased one to give as a gift this Christmas as well because I think it's such a great product.

The La Vanilla Healthy Deodorant in vanilla scent is great, I keep repurchasing these since they are the only natural deodorant that I've found that works well. 


I continuously repurchase Tide Pods because they work well and are easy to carry up and down the stairs to the laundry room in my apartment.


The Basic cotton rounds are a a staple in my beauty routine as are q-tips! I use both regularly for removing makeup and other daily activities so I will keep picking up these items.

That's everything I finished up in November and I will update you next month when I finish more items!

What products have you used up lately?
