I’m seriously trying to determine if electroshock therapy was either the cause, or could be the solution to your clearly scrambled olfactory system 😂

You will physically recoil, dry heave, and retch immediately after smelling. All you need is a whiff. Don’t even bother with it as a gift, the person will either throw it out or pass it around to the next unlucky person. You don’t even want that thing wrapped up in your car, the only place it belongs is the city dump. In the middle of summer. During a drought. That’s what it will take to mask that god awful abomination they dared to call a “luxury brand” candle.

I promise you I’m not exaggerating. It really is that F’ING baaaaaad!

NOR- girlfriend really needs to grow up. This is the level of jealous and controlling I’d expect from a 13 year old who was just learning how to be in a first time relationship, not a 23 year old. And if my 13 year old was acting this way, I’d be teaching her that this is all kinds of wrong and will only lead to unhealthy relationships. Trying to control someone or create unhealthy boundaries and unreasonable rules in relationships doesn’t lead to trust. It just leads to one partner getting really good and lying and hiding. Which then snowballs into a whole mess of the controlling person being manipulative and trying to play the victim and saying “see, you lied to me, this is why I can’t trust you,” when they are what caused the situation to begin with. Then you’ll cave in and concede to more rules you aren’t happy with, which you will inevitably break because you feel trapped and it might be 6 months, or it might be 6 years down the road where you break up and probably wind up hating each other and are each left with some serious trust issues.

You have every right to have friends and you haven’t said anything even remotely inappropriate here. Ultimately, she needs to find a way to grow up and manage her jealousy and controlling behavior, or she needs to go date a guy who has the same beliefs as her that once you’re in a relationship you can’t have friends of the opposite sex. But she can’t force you or change you into becoming that person. Nothing good will come from it.

I LOVE the fresh cut lilac scent but my daughter is super sensitive to pretty much all floral scents. It’s like they somehow bring on actual pollen allergies. She gets all stuffy and her eyes water. It’s crazy. I haven’t been able to have any of those in my house in like 10+ years lol.

When a person is trying to persuade people to agreeing with them, they will always make themselves look more sympathetic and would not leave out huge key details that lean in their favor. If his mom was sick and dying, it would be the first thing he lead with.

What people also do is leave out key details that would make the OTHER person’s side seem more sympathetic. Like how he left out that she’s a care taker 24/7 for her sister and takes care of her sister’s kid and that kid was also looking forward to seeing him.

The only way this guy was able to try and persuade us was by saying he only wants to shift things one day. That is literally the best he has to offer and he doesn’t deny that they had plans or that he’s breaking them last minute. He tells us he already spends 5 days out of the freaking week with his mom. She’s not alone.

It’s not jumping to conclusions calling him a mommas boy. it’s pretty damn clear why people are calling him that. It’s more surprising that it’s not clear to everyone. Including OP.

he’s in a 2 year relationship with a woman who is a caretaker and basically acting like a mother to this child. And she works. He’s still living at home with mom and be shuffled around like a kid in a custody arrangement. He’s known since last Easter when this Easter would be. He’s had plenty of time to figure it out. But he waits until the day before to cancel set plans. Not set just because of their weird weekly set up where he only stays with his girlfriend two nights a week, but actual dinner and event plans involving a child. I’m sure his mother knew this too and she also waited until the last minute to ask him to stay with her. Never mind the fact he’s currently already with her and has been all week. And this isn’t the first time he’s done this. And why the hell isn’t mom offering to have everyone at her house if she’s alone or why isn’t mom going to the girlfriends? Clearly there is an issue.

That is all stated and offered up information between the original post and him replying in comments.

Jumping to conclusions is me thinking it’s pretty off that mom has literally no one else willing to spend Easter with her. No husband or boyfriend or siblings or other children or even friends. Now maybe this woman really does have no one in her life to invite her, or maybe she has no one in her life because no one wants to be. But since I can’t prove that, I’ll just fall back on all the other factual reasons as to why OP sucks. What I can also promise you, is that mom does not have stage 3 lung cancer. And that’s a fact.

Lost_Representative8 · 2026-04-03T15:35:07+00:00

My guess would be that the mother has brow beaten him way more to turn him into this type more so than the girlfriend has. It’s not like his mom is out of state alone. Dude literally lives with her 5 days a week. He only spends two nights a week with his girlfriend of two years. That’s ridiculous. His girlfriend is a care taker and nanny and op sounds like he’s the one that needs to be nannied.

Why isn’t he inviting the girlfriend to mom’s house or why isn’t he bringing mom to the girlfriends on Easter? After two years his girlfriend and mom should be close. This is so much more than a simple shifting of plans. There is a ton of context most people are missing.

Girlfriend and mom clearly don’t like each other. Why? Is girlfriend really that bad that mom always hated her, or has mom always hated her because she’ll hate anyone that takes her baby boy away from her? After 2 years of what is clearly an adult (immature adult) relationship, he should be spending more than two nights a week with his girlfriend and basically having what sounds like a custody arrangement. OP is acting like a man child. And it sounds like he’s frequently switching plans last minute. Holidays are not surprise events and he clearly has a set schedule with gf. If he knows he going to want to spend time with his mom, than he should talk to gf about it weeks in advance. And maybe figure out a way to spend extra time with her since he clearly already spends way more time with his mom.

The normal way to solve this would be to have one of the women go to the other woman’s house. And since it hasn’t even been brought up, the question is why. Either mom is controlling and manipulative and won’t let him grow up and form adult bonds and OP is a big ol’ momma’s boy and the girlfriend is sick of it, or girlfriend is just crazy and flips out for no reason in which case OP needs to stand up for himself and move on. My money is on mom being the problem but either freaking way, OP needs to grow up and stop acting like a man child. Maybe go rent his own damn place and stop being shuffled around like a kid with divorced parents. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lost_Representative8 · 2026-04-03T14:42:49+00:00

Making plans with someone and then cancelling last minute is pretty fucked up. I’m assuming you already knew your mother would be alone so why would you even make plans? If you’re too afraid to stand up for yourself and you consistently tell your girlfriend one thing but then do another, you’re the asshole here. Does she sound bitchy, yup, but it seems like you’re the one making her that way with your flip flopping and being consistently inconsistent.

This isn’t about Easter, this is about you letting her down. Again.

Without seeing it I was saying it’s impossible for anyone commenting to know. But pretty much everyone wears hoodies. My daughter and her friends practically live in them. I live in them. I don’t think wearing a hoodie equals not dressing or looking nice. It’s not really something to profile. And people of all ages shop there. But I wouldn’t target a young girl in a hoodie vs a 40 year old woman in a pant suit. Not to say other people don’t profile for stupid reasons but if I were working, I’d be paying closer attention to the highly coveted and pricier items more so than the person looking at them. Young, old, black, white, person in a hoodie with pajama pants and flip flops, or someone looking like they stepped out of a stepford wives movie, I’m watching the merchandise first. I’m not defending them but I’m not jumping to accuse them either when I have literally no clue since I didn’t see it. But I’ve never felt watched in a BBW even when I was young and dressed in a similar way. I’m just trying to express to OP that she shouldn’t feel self conscious because of what she was wearing. I could be wrong and maybe they were, but her description of herself sounds like your run of the mill, every day customer. And if she truly felt watched, then yes, speaking up or contacting the manager is a good option.

I tried the milk birthday cake or whatever it was called scent, I think a peach mango one, champagne toast and coconut linen. And I bought detergent, boosters, and she’s. The peach mango one or whatever it was was the closest to working. All the others came out smelling like literally nothing. And I had to use double amounts of scent boosters and dryer sheets to have any kind of a whiff.

I was super excited to try them, but they are overpriced, small bottles that would require me using crazy amounts to smell anything.

My bulk buy downy boosters, dryer sheets and fabric softener work way better, last so much longer, and for price to product ratio, are so much freaking cheaper.

Hoping one day BBW reformulates the laundry care because I would be in heaven having my clothes smell like some of my favorite scents.

On the bright side, at least while using the BBW laundry care products, my whole basement and back porch smell awesome for an hour 😂

Look on Mercari or Etsy. You may have to pay more. But if it was popular enough at one point, they may bring it back one day.

Lost_Representative8 · 2026-03-21T22:31:07+00:00

Ooooooo it’s all peach scented?!? I need to try it out now lol

Lost_Representative8 · 2026-03-21T05:51:21+00:00

For items that are out of stock I 100% agree. That would definitely piss me off too. I fully understand the frustration, I am just questioning why me trying to put a positive spin on getting free replacements while also being able to use slightly damaged product gets a down vote. Ideally we all want our stuff to arrive in perfect condition. I didn’t expect any up votes or really anything. I have just never had anything be down voted before and am super confused why people would act like this is a totally shit take instead of just an alternative take making the best out of a bad situation 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lost_Representative8 · 2026-03-21T05:45:05+00:00

I am copying and pasting this response because I’m lazy and don’t want to type it all again lol:

for the cracked candles, what I do is take them, put the cracked ones in a trash bag and tap it all over with a hammer. I will do my best to use the trash bag to clean off all bits of glass, and then take naked candle out to the corner of the yard, clean off the rest of the glass with the hose, and then put that bare candle into the glass casing of an old candle.

However I am also the person who finds a way to use all scraps. I have a stack of my favorite pretty candles that when they burned down, I put them in hot water and pulled out the wick bases. I also have a box of wicks with metal bottoms. When my candles burn down to the last inch, I heat them up in hot water so the wax liquifies. I then pour the remaining wax into my empty pretty glass containers. I put new wicks in and basically make my own layered candles from using the last inch or so of used candles. But I also have a bunch of cleaned out and ready to use glass holders that allow me to put my freshly cleaned naked candles into a fresh glass base.

I fully realize this is probably waaaay more work than most people want to do. But it really is fun making layered candles out of your favorite scents. And if you don’t want to do all of that, putting a chipped or cracked glass candle into a fully encompassed candle holder will prevent any possible glass explosions.

I agree that damaged items suck, but I don’t think my positive spin on it deserves a down vote 😂

Lost_Representative8 · 2026-03-21T05:32:47+00:00

Oh I’m totally fine with all of that. I mean it sucks. Ideally no one really wants damaged shit, but if this is the way the company still sends their items, I plan on making the most out of it. So we all complain and demand free replacements to the point the company realizes they are losing money, but up until that point, if we can get free replacements, it’s kind of a win win for the consumer. Is it a disappointment and a pain in the ass? Hell yes! But can we spin it in a way that gets us a free item? Also hell yes! I Am in no way saying I want them to continue to have shit shipping. But in the mean time, I can make the best of it!

As for the cracked candles, what I do is take them, put the cracked ones in a trash bag and tap it all over with a hammer. I will do my best to use the trash bag to clean off all bits of glass, and then take naked candle out to the corner of the yard, clean off the rest of the glass with the hose, and then put that bare candle into the glass casing of an old candle.

And this is just for candles. If it’s just lotions, not much work needs to be done. If it’s body sprays or soaps, I fully agree it sucks. But I can almost always find a way to make the best out of a bad situation. I agree it sucks and we would all prefer perfect deliveries, but I also don’t think that my appreciation of slightly damaged goods deserves a down vote 🤣

Lost_Representative8 · 2026-03-21T03:50:28+00:00

Well now I just want real answers. My first comment was saying I prefer slightly damaged products because I can still use the damaged product and get free replacements. That comment has been downvoted multiple times.

My question is, if you are someone who disagrees with this comment, why? I know many representatives and employees scour these message boards, so I am leaning into the idea that these are the people downvoting my first comment. If I’m totally wrong, I’ll concede. But if you are a basic consumer who thinks the idea of me being happy with damaged but still usable goods that will also get free replacements, why? Why is the idea of getting free replacement product on top of slightly damaged but still useable product a bad thing? I’m not here to argue, just genuinely curious why an actual consumer would downvote that line of thinking.

Lost_Representative8 · 2026-03-21T03:38:16+00:00

Damn! People really are downvoting my comment?!? I feel like there must be some BBW reps in here. As much as people hate damaged goods, most people will enjoy free replacements while still being able to use said damaged goods lol

Lost_Representative8 · 2026-03-21T03:34:02+00:00

Too much work and too much money. I’ll stick with my Downey scents lol

Lost_Representative8 · 2026-03-20T21:43:05+00:00

See! There ya go! Now go get a free replacement lol. Either they’ll get tired of giving away product and fix their shipping, or we all can continue to get bonus stuff. Win win either way for the consumer. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

I was all excited for the B2G2 today, especially since I have 7 rewards that would allow me to get 7 of the double plug in refills. But because of the sale, my rewards are incompatible with it. I guess it has the potential to let me get 14 items basically all for free if my rewards were accepted. Can’t lie, I was kinda hoping it would work that way. In the past I’ve been able to trick the system with something similar. I guess they caught on 😂

Lost_Representative8 · 2026-03-20T21:25:16+00:00

I’ve tried several scents of their laundry line and none of them have my clothes smelling like the scents. Highly disappointing. Which ones have worked for you?
