Bath and Body Works Halloween!

Yes, the title says it all, Bath and Body's Halloween Collection....is BACKKKK! As you may know, I absolutely love Halloween. It is my favorite holiday, and I pretty much buy any cutesy thing that has to do with Halloween. I think the only reason why I love it so much is because I'm a really weird person haha. Anyway, back to what I was talking about. They have many new scents this year. They actually have a whole new line devoted to Autumn. It is called The Perfect Autumn. Now I can talk about this line forever and a day, but I'm going to sum it up for you guys! These are my own personal opinions from when I smelled these products. This line has a Shower Gel, Body Lotion, and Body Splash for each scent.


The first scent is called Ginger Vanilla. Now I'm not much of a ginger person but I actually liked this scent. It was very light and it had a nice hint of vanilla which I believe evened out the ginger smell.

The next scent is called Harvest Berry. This scent isn't just all berries, I can smell a really small hint of Jasmine and a citrus smell. Its delicious (:

Leaves is probably my favorite scent. It is such a warm and cozy scent. It makes me just want to grab a blanket, a hot cup of tea, and curl up with a book! You can smell apple, cinnamon, berries, and spices (YUMMY!(:) in it. Hence why it is my favorite!

The next item they have brought back with a twist is the Pumpkin Antibacterial Foaming Soap. The scent it vamped up now, it is the same pumpkin smell, but the added a touch of cinnamon which makes it amazing. Also, they re-did the soap bottle and instead of the anti-bacterial beads in it, it is now a foaming soap. They still have the old soap but I prefer the new one.The old soap is on the left and the new soap is on the right.

Another cute item on my Halloween list, is the comfy socks they came out with. They have the most adorable colors and the softest I've ever felt.

They have brought back old favorites too, such as the wall flower plug ins. They have several designs, a Ghost, a Jack-o-Lantern, and a Haunted House. I could only find the picture of the Jack-o-Lantern thought. "/

They have also added a few more things such as shower puffs (to clean with), scentables, and Figurine Candles. They are pretty adorable. Now I could get into detail about all the scents, but I would probably just bore you guys so here is the list of them instead. There is Cinnamon Pumpkin, Spiced Cider, Vanilla Caramel, Pumpkin Patch, and Fresh Balsam.

An adorable Fall hairstyle.

So lately I've been playing around with my hair and I found a super cute hairstyle. Its using medium sized rollers and then braiding your bangs (or layer(s)) back or a few small braids around the head. I found that this is a super flirty look and I found that I get a lot of complements when I wear my hair this way. If you look at the picture to the right of Blake Lively (Serena from Gossip Girl) the hairstyle I do is pretty much identical. The reason you use the rollers instead of blow drying or straightening the hair is because the rollers give the hair more volume. The volume adds the beautiful bouncy texture, it also creates a cute flip out of the hair at the bottom. I'm going to explain how to do this hairstyle as well as I can online.

  1. First brush out any tangles you have in your hair.
  2. Then apply a heat protecting spray all over your hair and comb through.
  3. Once you have done that now section your hair out in fours.
  4. Clip back all but one section of hair, so the one section is easy to work with.
  5. Then take about 1 1/2 inches of hair from that section and put the roller in.
  6. Repeat until you finish all sections.
  7. Once your hair is all in the rollers lightly mist hairspray over the top of the rollers.
  8. Then sit about 10-15 minutes or until your rollers cool to spray it with hairspray once again and then take them out.
  9. When you have all of your hair down run your fingers lightly through it a couple times or if your hair is likely to get greasy by the end of the day then shake your hair out a few times.
  10. Once that is done you can spray it once more with hairspray just to settle the style.
  11. Then braid your bangs, layers, or pieces of your hair the way you want to braid the.
  12. Now your finished! Lightly mist a shine spray all over your finished style and your ready to go!
