I have 3-4 body creams to use up and the rest are lotions. I have decided to take this year off from buying. I just want to enjoy what I currently have in my collection.
I have started to only buy the lotion and body sprays that I love. I don't use the creams often enough and they end up with funky smell. I have never had that happen with the lotions or sprays. I have lotions from YEARS ago and while the consistency and color may change, they still smell and perform the same. I have way too many "meh" scents that I have bought over the years that need to be used up, so I really need to rein myself from getting more....lol.
I agree, i have lotions and sprays from years ago and they are still good. It can be hard to resist getting new scents even if we are just meh about them. Then newness really can suck you in. We can do it though!
Great video! I have way too much of everything from BBW. I keep buying shelves to organize while storing some stuff away in boxes. It's just too much! After I use my 8 rewards, I'm not buying anything else from them . My guests says my house looks like a store. It's a little embarrassing.
I’ve decided that I’m going to do a no buy until the summer sas. I have way too much stuff. I have over 20 body cream and over 30 lotions and the mists has to be at least 50 or more. And I ofc never buy anything at full price but those 4.95 deal’s definitely add up. I’m trying to save up to buy a new car in full by 2024. So I’m cutting back a lot and just enjoying what I have for the next 6 months. And when summer sas comes around just buying the things I really really want and I don’t already have.
I feel the same way! You know what I did for Christmas, I gifted away so much of my bath and body works and it felt so good!! All of my loved ones absolutely love their gifts! They felt very special too, since they know I love my bath and body works, it just feels so good to share the things I like with the people I love.
New subscriber here ! I really love this video ! It’s nice knowing on what we’re not buying from bath and body works this year. It becomes overwhelming and we need to actually use what we have instead of buying buying and buying !
Thabk you! It can get out of hand really fast. It is easy to get wrapped up in the newness. I am guilty of anticipating the new instead of enjoying what i just purchased. I am going to break that cycle this year.
I gave up buying candles for the mere fact that I'm simply priced out, they are just too expensive now. The handful I have left I am warming them with a warmer. Also, I don't blind buy body care anymore. I have to make sure I really love the fragrance. Especially now with strict return policy.
I feel exactly the same about my collection! I rotate my candles so I don’t get bored, but that means I hardly finish any up! Currently only allowing myself to buy if it really fills a hole in my collection (ie no more eucalyptus candles!!!) I collect every incarnation of Sweater Weather.
I keep trying no buys but never last very long. Lol I am definitely going to be trying harder moving forward. I've got too much of all body care! Tfs ♡
I totally am with you. I have a handful of body creams that I am working through, but I am not buying any more. Sticking to the lotions. Tree Hut body scrubs are my favorite, so I have a couple left of B&BW in my collection but I don’t buy them any more. Hand creams and hand sanitizers I am not buying. My husband uses candles, so that is his deal. My collection is pretty extensive, and with the price markup, I will only be buying during flash sales and sas. I have never really been a wallflowers person
Thank you so much for this very honest video! It definitely helps me feel better about cutting back and saving my money to take my son on a little vacation to the beach.
I love this video it puts everything in perspective to just use up what you have and not necessarily purchase just to hold onto the products. I’m doing the same thing especially with the room sprays
I have so much stuff i need to use and i keep buying more.. 😩 i need help...My goal for 2023 is, for every 5 creams/lotions i use i can buy 1. Same for FFM and Shower Gels. Tfs Tfs
I just now went through my pocket bac's - and I have too many. One thing you can do is empty all the pocket bac's onto a large pump bottle , creating a new fragrance anti bacteria gel.
Love this video! I just recently got back into BBW products and my gosh do the products add up fast. I just went into the store today and had to stop myself from buying any of the new scents they just released because I have an insane collection especially after SAS! Thanks for sharing!
Same here I'm cool with alot things but unless I don't have or new scent it might be exemption what notice I need buy makeup and I did update my makeup and very much happy I really don't hoard makeup so I am very much happy for what I have .yes the rules you have I have done as reason why my stash went really good by what people call project use it up but I never stress like see everyone does is been my secret if you love something is alot easier for stash go down easier and you won't feel like you force your self to buy shelves to have organized things well my experience just saying hope you have a good day by shopping your stashes .
With the body creams, I think I can only handle having 3 at a time max. I just use them on my hands usually and takes me foreverrrr to work through them. If I have an older one, I use it on my body and slather it on after a shower before it can go bad.
At least you are aware that it takes you a while to go through them. Until I actually had to throw a few away because they expired, I never really thought about it.
I just mentioned your point on another video, you can only "lotion up" so many a day. Candles are easier to use up for me. I think you are making good decisions about the temptation of over buying. You're going to save enough money for a nice vacation somewhere!
Great video and I need to do the same. I’ve stopped buying the shower gels and candle holders. I’m allergic to most of the hand soaps so those I have to stop by force 😂
I really liked this video! I think I am also going to make a list on what I don’t need to buy bc I have so many bbw stuff 😩 I def don’t need anymore body mists I have 100+ also no more body creams bc they don’t last so long.
I feel like the body lotions are more moisturizing than the creams 🤷🏻♀️ so I try to just buy the lotions and then only if I really love a scent. I just put all my collection together and had way more than I thought so I need to buy smarter this year for sure.
I didnt like the anti wipes neither even if they came back I wouldnt get them they dry out. I have come to only get certain things during SAS at 75% off because I have enough like pocketbacs,room sprays, wallflowers plugs and refills , and for the most part hand soaps (sometimes I will get during a 2 95 sale especially if I have a coupon too) candles from summer 2022 SAS to now I pretty much only did candle day and I brought some 75% I pretty much wanna get to just getting them during SAS or take a trip to the outlet with a coupon and get maybe 12 and that's it I have too many.....I dont like their bar soap and never got into the pocketbac holders. Candle holders ones I dont want I'll gift I pretty much only like certain ones where the lid can be exposed and I'll wait til SAS if gone it wasnt meant for me
i’m on a no buy unless i need soap and when i get free rewards i’ll buy something I need at that moment. i have too much stuff and i need to use it up before it goes bad
I decided to do this before we even knew about the price increases. It makes me even more sure of my decision. They are out of control with their prices. Almost $10 for the faceted mini sprays! 😲
Products, I’m not buying in 2023 will be wallflowers refills,wallflower plugs,certain car fragrances, moisturizing handsanitizer gel pumps, hand, pocket back holders, and car fragrance holders, full size body care products just only travel size body products. I just can’t though all of them like I want to all he body.Candles because every time I buy candle I don’t use it. I just collect them and I really need to stop doing that.I only going to buy I like to use basically 😅.
I think based on your (Huge) collection, you definitely can stay away from BBW for a LONG LONG time!! WOW 😳 WHY? that's a lot of products!! You can open a BBW store!!
I have 3-4 body creams to use up and the rest are lotions. I have decided to take this year off from buying. I just want to enjoy what I currently have in my collection.
I think that is a great idea!
Awesome idea. I am considering the same.
I'm doing the same. My body care collection is insane.

I am the same. I feel like i have a store.i like to keep mine in bins, but I am running out of places to put them. Time for me to get it together!

I think that is a great plan! The sales definitely add up. SAS is way more exciting when you haven't already bought everything in the last 6 months.
I feel the same way! You know what I did for Christmas, I gifted away so much of my bath and body works and it felt so good!! All of my loved ones absolutely love their gifts! They felt very special too, since they know I love my bath and body works, it just feels so good to share the things I like with the people I love.
I think that is great! Glad you were able to share and spread the joy 🙂

I'm going on an all product no-buy from BBW this year. I have enough of everything to last years and I'm running out of space to store it
I understand that! I hope you enjoy all your products this year.
I gave up buying candles for the mere fact that I'm simply priced out, they are just too expensive now. The handful I have left I am warming them with a warmer. Also, I don't blind buy body care anymore. I have to make sure I really love the fragrance. Especially now with strict return policy.
Their candle prices are definitely high, especially for the quality lately. There are lots of other places to buy candles.
I feel exactly the same about my collection! I rotate my candles so I don’t get bored, but that means I hardly finish any up! Currently only allowing myself to buy if it really fills a hole in my collection (ie no more eucalyptus candles!!!) I collect every incarnation of Sweater Weather.
It definitely can get overwhelming. Just think how good it will feel to use up those candles. Sweater weather is such a good scent.
I keep trying no buys but never last very long. Lol
I am definitely going to be trying harder moving forward. I've got too much of all body care! Tfs ♡
I know i could never do a no buy, so i figured this was the best way.

After SAS I'm only getting my free coupons it's a no buy. I have enough soaps, mist, lotions, creams, room sprays, and candles
Nice! It will feel so good to work through your stuff.
Thank you so much for this very honest video! It definitely helps me feel better about cutting back and saving my money to take my son on a little vacation to the beach.
Thank you for watching! I hope you guys enjoy the beach. Bbw can't compare to those kind of memories.
I love this video it puts everything in perspective to just use up what you have and not necessarily purchase just to hold onto the products. I’m doing the same thing especially with the room sprays
Thank you! I knew i couldn't be the only one.
@@Stargazer541 you are not alone 😅
My collection is very huge too. I’ve cut back for 2023. I need to enjoy and use what I have. Shop my own stash for 2023
That is great! I am doing that too. Still get some things but not nearly as much as i used to.
I have so much stuff i need to use and i keep buying more.. 😩 i need help...My goal for 2023 is, for every 5 creams/lotions i use i can buy 1. Same for FFM and Shower Gels. Tfs
Tfs
I think that is a great plan! Whenever i get the urge to buy more stuff i go and play in my collection. Takes me back to reality real fast 😳😄
I’m done buying candles too!
I bought 10 shower gels this year and feel like the only thing I'm buying this year is probably mists and maybe good candle sales
That sounds like a great plan!
I just now went through my pocket bac's - and I have too many. One thing you can do is empty all the pocket bac's onto a large pump bottle , creating a new fragrance anti bacteria gel.
Good idea! I enjoy mixing things and making new scents.
I'm just trying to cut back on fastfood. 😢
Not even attempting on cutting back on bbw. 😁
Lol goals are goals. Do what works for you!
Love this video! I just recently got back into BBW products and my gosh do the products add up fast. I just went into the store today and had to stop myself from buying any of the new scents they just released because I have an insane collection especially after SAS! Thanks for sharing!
It really can get out of hand so fast. It can be hard to control that impulse to get the new stuff. Good for you!

Awesome, sounds like you have a good system!
With the body creams, I think I can only handle having 3 at a time max. I just use them on my hands usually and takes me foreverrrr to work through them. If I have an older one, I use it on my body and slather it on after a shower before it can go bad.

Slow, proud clap 👏❤

Thank you! Going to have to start planning that vacation 🙂
BBW is my serious addiction 🤦🏽♀️
Has been mine too for years, and now i have a mountain of stuff 😄
Great video and I need to do the same. I’ve stopped buying the shower gels and candle holders. I’m allergic to most of the hand soaps so those I have to stop by force 😂
One product at a time 😄
I'm using up all my bath n body stuff it's just too much n it's taking all my space in my house
Exactly! I am tired of looking at it all
I really liked this video! I think I am also going to make a list on what I don’t need to buy bc I have so many bbw stuff 😩 I def don’t need anymore body mists I have 100+ also no more body creams bc they don’t last so long.
Thank you! The collection can grow so fast. I think limiting even just a few items really helps
I feel like the body lotions are more moisturizing than the creams 🤷🏻♀️ so I try to just buy the lotions and then only if I really love a scent. I just put all my collection together and had way more than I thought so I need to buy smarter this year for sure.
It always surprises me when i go through my stuff. Like, where did all this come from? 😄

Sounds like you have a pretty good routine! I wish i had an outlet near me, but at least i can get good deals at sas.
I'm tempted by new spring because those are more my candles but I dont need it
@@tiamarie1226 i know, the new stuff is hard to resist.
Wow. You’re avoiding the entire store and everything they sell basically.
All but a few! 😀
i’m on a no buy unless i need soap and when i get free rewards i’ll buy something I need at that moment. i have too much stuff and i need to use it up before it goes bad
Yes! Use up that stuff!
I’ve decided if they don’t bring back the bake shop collection I’m done with them for 2023.
I love the bake shop. It isn't looking promising 😬
Now bath and body has increased its prices no more bath and body for me 🥺🤦🏻♂️ too!!!
I decided to do this before we even knew about the price increases. It makes me even more sure of my decision. They are out of control with their prices. Almost $10 for the faceted mini sprays! 😲

@@Stargazer541 oh yeah it can get really crazy sometimes but this is a great thing to cut out the spending.
@@yana6118 absolutely! Bbw has enough of my money for a while.
I think based on your (Huge) collection, you definitely can stay away from BBW for a LONG LONG time!! WOW 😳 WHY? that's a lot of products!! You can open a BBW store!!
I enjoy bbw and their products. It isn't for everyone to understand.
Don't sound so judgy 🤷
