Ok, we’re a week away from the Bath & Body Works Summer 2021 Semi-Annual Sale and we need to work on some ground rules before it begins.

Number 1: We are all banned from candle purchases until Fall 2021!

Think about it…!

You have a lot of candles! I know you do. You’re all proud Basic B1tches like me which means you all adore Fall and everything needs to smell like Pumpkin Spice everything in your house when the cooler weather sets in. You can save your pennies now for some Fall Candle action or you can spend it at the Semi-Annual Sale when the deals probably won’t be all that great anyway. I’m leaving the choice up to you here but I think you should put yourself on a solid candle ban during the sale. I know you’ll do the responsible thing….! And I’ll be waiting in the wings to pat you on the back, give you a dorky thumbs up, and congratulate you on just saying no to that 80% off candle.

Number 2: Do we really need more hand soap?

Remember last year when everyone and their mother was telling you to WASH YOUR HANDS! I mean, Andrew (our governor) was quite fond of telling us this, Doctor Fauci reminded us daily, and there were signs and posters demanding you WASH YOUR HANDS everywhere! Facts and real talk here but they haven’t met all of us have they? We are the girls and guys that have bottles of hand soap in our beauty closets that will last us until the next century. We stock pile it for the day the dead walk the Earth. Also, was no one washing their hands before the pandemic? I’m amazed people don’t have 1800 bottles of hand soap in their closet…Is that only us? Naa can’t be! I remember my mom being all panicky about not having enough hand soap and how it was disappearing off shelves. I was all, “Mom, I got you!” and I left like 200 bottles of Bath & Body Works Hand Soap on her porch.

So, we don’t need anymore hand soap. I think it’s safe to say we can skip that too right?

The moral of the story please shop with your head and not your heart!

Good Luck!

I just wanted to update anyone interested about my status on donations to Black Lives Matters. I normally don’t speak about charities, donations, and organization that I support because it’s not something that needs to be flaunted on a blog post or across social media. Donation comes from good place inside your heart and isn’t something that should be posted about across a bunch of online mediums.

But I did want share what was going on with my donations to the Black Lives Matter movement since I made a pledge about it on one of my posts last year.

When the Black Lives Matter Movement raged on full force last year I took part in a march and made some personal donations to charities I felt were good fits for my beliefs. Marching was one of the hardest things I did last year because COVID really had me in a state of anxiety. It turned out better than I expected and was truly a stress and anxiety-free experience. I pledged on a prior post that I wanted to donate the ad revenue and affiliate commissions from any black owned business posts I did to charity.

As I said in my prior post donations are not something that will change the way people think, see, or understand this movement but I have hopes it will help in some very small way.

To date, the posts I’ve done for black owned businesses and brands have generated a revenue of $1473.55. I’ll be rounding the amount off to $2000 and selected two different charities to donate to.

This is just an update of where I am with this.

The comments are turned off on this post just because I know how incredibly sweet and supportive you all are and I know you’re going to want to say great job, etc…but I’m not doing this to get nice compliments and comments (I APPRECIATE every single one). I just feel a bit uncomfortable having people leave them on this post. I hope you’ll understand where I coming from. I have NEVER muted anyone in the past no matter what you say here (so long as you aren’t bullying anyone) but I just feel a little weird getting comments or compliments on this particular post. Please understand and forgive me for taking your voice away for a moment.

Be well friends.

Be good humans.

Keep fighting the good fight every single day of your life.

Remember small change bring about big impacts.
