Ok, I have to t ell the story. I was NOT going to go out on Black Friday but then I talked myself into it around 8:00pm. I threw on some makeup and jeans and headed to the shops. I knew I wanted to purchase all of the above and the Bag. I knew I could turn it into a great gift or donation . I also kn ew this was the only day that you could stack your coupons instead of making a bunch of little purchases and I wanted to be able to take advantage of this opportunity. I was after some specific things: hand soap, shower gel and the VIP bag.

I am an absolute sucker for Bath & Body Works. So much so, I have a dedicated board to my hauls on Pinterest. I thought it was a dream come true when I found out that they partnered with BeautyARMY to bring their new formula to the Troops!! I was poking around their Facebook page one day and saw that they had another event, The Paris Party. I quicky marked my calendar and RSVP'ed with delight. After all, there would be another Gift with Purchase. You know I love my GWPs!!

I didn't give it a second thought when I cut the top of my body scrub off in order to expose the inside, where a lot of the product was hiding.  Credit to my boyfriend for suggesting this blog post!  I cut it in 2 stages.  First I cut off the end, o r is that the top & use my finger to get scrub.  Initially, I don't cut lower, to protect the large opening from collecting shower water & diluting the remaining scrub. Once my fingers have cleaned off the sides of the tube, I cut it lower, usually the lower 1/3, to expose more and more product.  Seems silly I know, but I had 6 more uses from the product most people would have tossed out.  #PennyPincher. xoxo •Nancy-Lee

Every now and then I run to the outlet mall where there happens to be a Bath & Body Works store.  Moving to California was my first time shopping in a B&BW outlet, mainly candles and wall•scent thingies, full price product has moved in and every once in a while, something a bit more exciting.
