Hand soap, for sure! I started using the hand soap as body wash because I can get through them faster and not be annoyed that it's 3 months later and I'm still not finished like the body washes. lol (I like variety)
Hi Melissa! Another wonderful video! I totally felt the nostalgia when I saw your OG containers & packaging for Champagne Apple & Honey. I love that scent so much. 🥂🍎🍯 I guess I use up hand soap more than anything. I have so much product it's hard for me to create empites. ( I'm sure you agree ) Tfs and Merry Christmas to you and your family. ❤🎄🎁
Hi Melissa! So nice! I love all of the pumpkin candles, and Happiness is one of my favorite aromatherapy scents as well! I wish it would come back! I hope you are having a great week! 😀🤗
Hi Melissa!! Wow you guys did good! I can fly through a fragrance mist if I love it. I spray all my clothes before I get dressed and I always keep one in my purse to reapply. I can go through one in just a few weeks. I also burn through candles pretty fast as well. As soon as I come home I light several and if I happen to be home all day I always have them going. It seems like it takes us awhile to get through hand soaps. I swear I’m always washing my hands but it’s just my husband and I and we have 3 sinks. We mostly use the foaming soaps. Thanks for sharing!! I always love your empties 😊
We go through hand soap in our house fairly quickly. We use approximately 4-5 bottles per month between the two of us. Mike goes through body wash like nobody’s business; I have never seen a body wash last him a month. I tend to use body wash based on the scent I am wearing that day, so I don’t empty body wash quite as quickly as he does. We go through between 3 and 4 wallflower refills a month, I guess this month it will be 5 refills, but that has to do with the holiday season and having more wallflower plugs in rooms of the house we normally wouldn’t because we’ve had company and will have more people coming during Christmas. Candles kind of vary based on the season. Right now we probably go through 2 to 3 candles (3 wick) a month during the winter. Concentrated room sprays last us a bit longer, we go through 2 of them every 3 months. I love empties videos; thanks for the video Melissa!
That's really good, I can always see the difference in our hand soap usage when Jose spends the days at work versus when he has time off! 😁 Clean guys are good! 🥰🫧🧼 And I'm the same way, Jose (sounds like Mike might be this way too) is really good about just using one scent at a time and using it all the way up, while I'm like you...I rotate my scents frequently. As you've seen from my use it up carts, I rotate between 4-6 scents each month so they don't get used up as fast. But once they finally do get used up, all the empties come rolling in at the same time! 😂
I definitely use the body lotion up the fastest. I go through a bottle every 3-4 weeks in winter and every 4-5 weeks in summer. The mists definitely take me the longest to use up. I've only ever used up one whole entire mist. It was my favorite ever B&BW scent - Fresh Pineapple. It came out in the 90s. My next closest mist to being used up is my Winter Berry Wonder, which I am using right now. It's about 1/3 full.
Melissa!! I will never get sick of your videos! I love when you do these empty videos. So satisfying to see the products actually being used up. On another note, do you think you’ll do another dirty soul video showing us your samples? I’d be interested to hear your thoughts. ❤
Hey Melissa! I actually was inspired by your videos, and started working at BBW last week! I love it so far, and was wondering if you had any advice for a newbie? I would say the products I use the most would be the candles and the body care, love my house and myself smelling fresh all day 😂 have a great week girl!
We definily finish the HAND SOAPS faster than most of my other BBW products... 😂 Btw, I wanted to ask you about the BODY CREAMS - Everybody seem to complaint how fast they go rancid. However, whenI watch you videos I notice that you & your family members are using pretty old body creams. Am I wrong? Do you have some sort of secret magic to share... 😎💕 Lol... #PleaseDo Haha!!! Take care, and Merry Christmas!
I've only owned 1 body cream and I got it as a gift 2 Christmases ago and it's still going strong. I've heard some of them go yellow. Maybe it's the ones that have a lot of vanilla in them?
I think that might be one of my most frequently asked questions because it's true, my old creams stay in really good shape! 😮😇 I think one of the keys to my success for keeping body creams fresh is that we do keep our house colder than the normal household. I keep all of my products in the (finished) basement in a very dark and cold (but dry!) cabinet. Sometimes creams that have vanilla or coconut do turn yellow but are fine in texture and fragrance still. I've had maybe 2-3 creams total get clumpy but no more than that. What I did with those is shook them up and massaged the bottle to remix the product, and then put it on priority to use up immediately! I hope these tips help! 🤍🎄🤍🎄
I think it has to do with the formulation. For example, BBW went paraben-free (widely misunderstood preservative btw and not at all scary like many are made to believe). Plus, a lot of companies have started using cheaper ingredients overall while increasing prices (not specific to BBW alone). But since their body butters and lotions seem to last longer, it appears that something in the body cream formula needs adjusting. Example: I bought some body creams at the start of the year. They're still very smooth and not clumpy or pudding/jello-like. But I bought various body creams at Summer SAS (and after) and they're ALL funky looking. They still smell fine but the texture and consistency are off (separated and if I move them in my hand, they shake a bit like pudding. lol). Did they change something about the body creams and make them worse in the span of less than a year? They're all kept in a dark, dry cabinet in a temperature controlled room with no windows. I've given up on their body creams until they fix this issue that many of us seem to have.
Apple of my Eye was so good to me. lol But my bestie said it smelled like feet. 😭 I hope they come out with an amazing Green Apple and Caramel body care line next year!
I thought to scent on it was pleasant, not like your friend! 😱🤣 It was more that it just wasn't very strong to me, and didn't have much caramel scent. I got more of a straight forward apple note from it...thankfully nothing icky! 😁 I hope that too, I would love more apple body care that wasn't paired with floral notes! 🥰
This was the first year that I bought the Pumpkin Peanut Brittle 3 wick! I agree with you, this was my favorite of all my candles I purchased for Fall. I’m hoping it comes back for SAS but if not I will order 3 or 4 next Fall. Thank you for this video. I absolutely love empties. 🫶❤️ I use up more candles & Pocket Bacs than anything else in my collection.
In the summer I use up candles the fastest and I think all year round I use up hand soap the fastest I guess because obviously you have to wash your hands every day.😊🕯🧼
Which product form do you use up the most frequently? Let me know in the comments below!
Body washes
Hand soap, for sure! I started using the hand soap as body wash because I can get through them faster and not be annoyed that it's 3 months later and I'm still not finished like the body washes. lol (I like variety)
Definitely body wash!
I use up candles, handsoaps and wallflower refills the most
I love seeing empties!! Can't wait for your next one! I love that you include your family empties as well 😍
I love your Santa sweater!
Pumpkin pecan waffles is a super win!
Thank you! It's the one with the cat wearing a santa hat with bells on his collar (built in cat toys as I call them) 😂
A classic every time! 🧇
Go through hand soaps and scrubs the fastest
Same on the hand soaps and oh yes, scrubs too! I love using body scrubs. Do you have a favorite kind of scrub you use?

I use candles but on a warmer. Handsoaps and body butter espeviallyvwater

I typically go through bodycare the fastest because I know it will go bad.
It's good to use it up while it's fresh, good thinking! 🥰
I go through body lotion/cream and hand soap the fastest. Shower gel takes longer. My FFMs are going to be with me for the rest of my life, lol.
shower gel! i wish i could run thru my mists& body lotions like i do with my shower gels 🫠
I hear ya! I do pretty good on my lotion to shower gel ratio for the most part, but it's those sprays that always get behind for me! 😂
