I smell goooooooooood

Hello everybody!

I'm currently sat in AJ's apartment watching her play Skyrim. It's very relaxing and I am very happy. Between prepping for Thanksgiving and having an early morning (early for me, it wasn't that early) on Black Friday, I've been very tired. So I slept like a rock and have caught up on my sleep enough that I was ready and willing to brave the mall today and get some deals while I could.

First stop was Bath and Body Works. Now, in my last post I posted about some of the candles I bought. Let me say, the Hot Apple Toddy and Frosted Cranberry are exquisite. They smell amazing. I will say that I don't think the Hot Apple Toddy is strong enough to really blast a whole room with the smell but in my small room and condo it smells the place right up. The Fresh Balsam is really strong. It made my whole room smell like trees in about two minutes. So, because I love them so much, I bought another Hot Apple Toddy today. I also bought one called Fresh Fallen Snow. I'm curious how strong it will smell lit because it's not too overwhelming when it's cold.

I also delved into the buy 3 get 3 deal that was going on. I bought some of the holiday scents because I love the holidays and I like to smell nice. I purchased the Candy Apple, Twisted Peppermint, Sugar Plum, and 1000 Wishes (which is a new scent, not so much a holiday one). I'm looking forward to using them and seeing if they actually moisturize as well as they claim that they will.

As I've mentioned before, I am the queen of the itchy Minnesota Winter skin. The bathbombs from Lush have worked extremely well for the days when I have time to take a bath and kind of pamper myself. For those days that I don't have the time to lay in a bath for an hour, I need to find a way to moisturize enough that I don't scratch my skin off. Lately, I've been exfoliating my legs (since they bear the brunt of the itching craze) and using baby oil. It's been working well but sometimes I don't fancy smelling like a baby so I'm hoping these shower gels and lotions will help.

The shower gel So White that I bought works okay as a moisturizing shower gel but the apple scent is gone before I get out of the shower. Sad.

In addition to the numerous good smelling things, I bought a warm fuzzy blanket, a heated blanket, and flannel sheets with little scottie dogs on them. I love them so much. I love fuzzy warm things.

I also bought a new wool peacoat from Macy's and almost barfed when I paid for it but it's beautiful and should last for a long time (it better for what I paid for it).

Let it be known, I have bought one Christmas present. I'm awful.
