Good-bye Old Friend


Back in November, Bath and Body Works brought out the best smelling soap of all time. I foolishly only bought one bottle and by the time I figured out I was hopelessly addicted to the stuff, they had sold out. I checked back regularly through the whole Christmas season to no avail. So it was with heavy heart that I lathered up my hands with the last small bit of Frosted Orange Spice today. Good-bye old friend. Everyone start fasting and praying that B&BW will bring her back again this fall.

Update: Sara saved the day! I am the Ebay queen--why didn't I think of checking there? More Frosted Orange Spice is on its way to my door. I don't want to do the math on what I'm paying per bottle (with shipping) compared to what I paid the first time around but I'm getting it!

I hate when stores take away a good thing. I always think I'll appreciate it more when it's not around all the time, but I'm just really just kidding myself.
Hopefully they'll bring it back next year--that there are others just like you who are hopelessly addicted!

This is the reason why I hate BB&B. You love something they have, and they take it away. I'm tired of finding the scent that is SOOOO me, only to have it disappear. I'm done with them.

I hate it when that happens! Clinique gets rid of their best products (at least MY faves) from time to time and I just go CRAZY!! Recently they discontinued "nude sparkle" in the tube (that lasted FOREVER) and substituted it in a roll-on thing that is not as good and only lasts for a few applications. ARRGGHH!!!

I hate it when stores discontinue items. I will pray for you that the soap will come back this fall. I'm with your mom on the Clinique nude sparkle. I'm addicted to that stuff, but now it's just not the same. These companies need to learn the supply and demand thing.

It seems like this happens to me whenever I find a scent I love. It makes me feel like I'm being manipulated by the system or something.

I loved their peppermint soap that they had last Christmas too. I went to buy it first thing this season and they said they weren't going to be carrying it again, but that I was one of a ton of people who had come looking for it. Why they do that is beyond me. But I'm glad you got some more of the good stuff coming to you. Savor it while you can!
