A lil Weekend Shopping

Yup I did a little shopping this weekend.... nothing major, just a few things :))

If you read my previous post you know I went to TJ Maxx for a Father's Day gift. I was browsing the fragrance aisle and found a Betsey Johnson fragrance. It was only $19.99 so I decided to pick it up. Unfortunately they don't have testers there so you either have to know the scent already or just hope it turns out nice. Lol. The box was so cute too!

And the fragrance inside..... Haha I really thought the bottle was gonna be bigger, but not.... It's a cute bottle though.
And it smells great!! Its nice and sweet but a deep vanilla spice fragrance. I sprayed some on myself before work and it lasted all day. Love it!!

By the way, in my last post I was talking about TJ Maxx, which like I said I rarely go into places like that because it just looks like a giant clearence bin and I hate digging through a mess! But I was excited to go to this new one I went to and I'm definately going back to look for stuff for myself!

And Since I work in the mall I went to check out the Bath and Body Works sale going on ... I wasn't going to buy anything because honestly I didn't see anything I had to have, and plus I still have a cabinet full of lotions/body washes/ sprays from last times semi annual sales. But I walked by a stand with candles and saw a small bin full of tarts. So I decided to take a look and saw that they were only $1.50 and 50% off!! I was like yes that sounds so good! I am loving tarts right now, its a cheaper way to add a nice fragrance in any room and try out new scents. I ended up getting 9 of them:

I got 3 Midnight Pomegranate (my favorite!!), 2 Cinnamon & Clove Buds, 1 Pumpkin Patch, 1 Spiced Cider, and 2 Vanilla Caramel all for about $3!! :0)
I think I may stop by the store close to my house and see if they have any more and different scents. This one has a small selection.

 And lastly today on my lunch break I walked by Yankee Candle and they are also having a semi annual sale.... I found some tarts there too but they were $1 and then on the same stand they have 1.75 oz small candles for the same price, so I decided just to get a few of the bigger sized ones.
And they smell amazing!!!! These just like the BB&W tarts are so fragrant you can smell them through the wrapper and the bag!! My room smells amazing without lighting any candles!! :)) LOVE IT!

These are the 2 scents I got: (2 of each for $4)
Honeydew Melon and Juicy Peach and they smell SOOO good! I've been smelling them all day! I feel like a crack addict sniffing LOL! I may have to end up getting full size candles of these one day it smells so yummy!!

As you guys can see I love spicy, vanilla scents and fruity scents too!! And I obviously have a  problem with buying candles/tarts and smelling good things.... haha this whole post was about it!!

Well hope you guys had a great weekend and a nice day spent with your daddies! :) And let me know if you guys did any nice weekend shopping! :)

The tarts are the small round discs you can burn in a tart warmer like a candle but without the flame. I've done a post before on tarts from Candles by Victoria called scent shots. Same idea! :)
