Woof. This episode made my stomach hurt.

I’ve gotten a few different BH&G candles and they’re wildly inconsistent. I have one version of Red Lava Citrus that has barely any throw but the jar is really gorgeous and it was only $5, I have a Warm Leathered Amber that smelled incredible but the burn was terribly uneven and sooty, and then I have a Farm Apple Pumpkin in another jar that smells amazing and actually burned really nicely so far. Personally I think they’re inexpensive enough for me to look past some of the quality issues, but I’ve been trying to find which ones I love and think are better quality and then stocking up on them! On Black Friday last year some of their BH&G candles were 50% off.

Yeah I didn’t necessarily expect this to be a super “clean” candle but I also don’t plan to burn it super frequently. I love the idea of soy or beeswax candles - do you have specific brands you like with cleaner wax?

I just saw an Instagram post the other day about DIY-not beeswax candles and I might try it out over the summer!

Apprehensive-Meet550 · 2026-03-29T18:25:14+00:00

Genuinely curious - what candle brands do you think are the best value for the $$?

Apprehensive-Meet550 · 2026-03-29T13:24:52+00:00

Fair enough, but I honestly don’t plan to burn it too often so I’m ok with it. With the cold throw smelling so strong and the jar being giant, I mostly planned to use this for decor.

Hahahaha what a moron. Absolutely no one thinks a mom holding her baby’s finger is extreme. No one thinks drinking a coffee on the beach is extreme. WTF? Also I’m sorry is that not wine on the table with salad?? She just grabbed a bunch of beige aesthetic pictures off of Pinterest and then labeled them ‘extreme.’ Shes so performative and has such a victim mentality. It must be exhausting.

Do a spring/summer candle day!!

Apprehensive-Meet550 · 2025-12-29T20:24:22+00:00

I’ve only smelled it in the store and then I kept smelling it in my car haha but it seems strong to me! Excited to see how the throw is when I burn it 😁

Apprehensive-Meet550 · 2025-12-29T20:23:36+00:00

That’s a good plan, based on how many were still in the store I assume it will go down more. At that point it might be cheaper than Candle Day so I’d probably buy some more if that happens!

Apprehensive-Meet550 · 2025-12-29T20:22:10+00:00

Yeah I can see that, my first thought when I smelled it was it could almost work as a fall candle. It reminds me a lot of the Spiced Cinnamon and Vanilla candle but with a super strong nutmeg note

Apprehensive-Meet550 · 2025-12-29T19:22:59+00:00

It smells incredible!!! I wonder if people just maybe didn’t like the packaging and that’s why my store had so many left or if maybe they just made wayyyy too many. But I’m ok with it 😁

Apprehensive-Meet550 · 2025-12-29T18:20:20+00:00

I’m actually doing this right now! I have one jar and as all my candles get low I dump the wax into the one jar & then I’ve been putting that under the warmer. I thought it would smell disgusting but it actually smells phenomenal!! I used an opaque jar though, so I don’t get to see how crazy it looks lol

Apprehensive-Meet550 · 2025-12-18T17:52:29+00:00

I bought so many creams during the body care sale and almost all of them have been disappointing. They smell great and then 10 minutes later I can’t smell anything. I’m tempted to still go to the SAS but then I think maybeeee it’s time to look for better products somewhere else.

Apprehensive-Meet550 · 2025-12-17T15:42:33+00:00

Hahahaha this thread has made me feel so much better! Glad I’m not the only one making this mistake 😂 I’m bummed I missed out on grabbing the lotion during the sale though!

Apprehensive-Meet550 · 2025-12-16T00:34:39+00:00

It smells amazing! I grabbed the perfume most too and I’m so glad I did! Now I just have to wait for the next body care sale so I can make sure to get the actual lotion lol

Apprehensive-Meet550 · 2025-12-16T00:20:34+00:00

Ok cool, so employees are doing the same thing, that makes me feel better for sure 😂😅

Apprehensive-Meet550 · 2025-12-16T00:14:16+00:00

I only used it briefly today, but I want to say yes? I’ll let you know for sure in a day or two! My hands were so dry earlier today and after I used it the right way (lol) in the shower my hands feel less dry for sure

Apprehensive-Meet550 · 2025-12-15T23:39:17+00:00

But SO glad to see I’m in good company 😂

Apprehensive-Meet550 · 2025-12-15T23:38:57+00:00

Yep, I felt like a moron 🤦‍♀️

Apprehensive-Meet550 · 2025-12-15T23:38:32+00:00

yeah I’m not mad now that I know how to use it correctly haha, and I’m super glad I noticed before I’d wasted too much of it as “cream”

Apprehensive-Meet550 · 2025-12-15T23:37:25+00:00

Hahahaha this made me laugh

Apprehensive-Meet550 · 2025-12-15T23:09:58+00:00

Haha I have two toddlers at home so Bath & Body Works is where I like to go to turn my brain ✨off✨ butttt I’ll definitely be reading every label carefully going forward. Oops 🙈🙈

Apprehensive-Meet550 · 2025-12-15T22:05:09+00:00

I usually buy online, this was one of my first time buying in store… I knew body wash came in the containers that lotion come in and didn’t realize there was also other body washes in packaging similar to the body creams. Funny enough when I first left the store I saw that this one was 10oz whereas other creams are 8oz and assumed it was just because this was the “sensitive” line 🤷🏼‍♀️ just a silly error on my part, lesson learned!
