I need a girly icon, damn it

Update of absolutely no substance whatsoever:

Over the holiday break, I picked up some new scents from Bath and Body Works. I grabbed some more Tropical Passionfruit lotion (why can I only ever find the lotion in the store? It's so fragrant, I don't like mixing it on top of shower gel of a different scent!). It's still good, but I've had two breakthrough favorites so far: Magnolia Blossom and White Tea & Ginger.

The White Tea & Ginger makes me physically ACHE for the whole line of tea-accented lotions and body washes they put out about five years ago. I still have a little left of my Red Currant and Thyme Tea lotion/shower gel, and I'm going to cry when it's gone. However, White Tea & Ginger is a worthy successor; the scent is so clean, which is as good as I can describe it. I need to go and buy some more online (they only had the one bottle in the store or I'd have bought them out of it.

Magnolia Blossom is subtle in the same way as the White Tea & Ginger, but whereas the latter smells almost tasty, Magnolia Blossom is much more earthy. Not bad BO-and-dirty earthy, like you would describe people when you call them earthy, but sort of fresh-air outdoors-y earthy. I used up half of the one bottle I had before I switched to a different one so I can savor that some more.

Haven't opened the Sheer Freesia or Night Blooming Jasmine that I bought yet. I must have been wowed by Night Blooming Jasmine, as I seem to have three bottles of shower gel and two things of the lotion, but I am saving opening that until I use up the shower gel I already have in the bathroom. I'm surprised I bought a Freesia-scented lotion; usually, I don't care for Freesia. I'd go smell it except that I am currently still sniffing my hands for that intoxicating White Tea & Ginger scent. Wouldn't be able to smell it all.

Nothing to see here, I guess. Unless you, too, are a total girl about scented lotions and want to girly-chat about it. Do, let's!

Also, they've got White Tea and Ginger up here at the Westchester. Come up one night before the sale ends and we'll raid the store.

MUST. Maybe if you guys have a party, we can sneak out to get it. Only at the Westchester or the Galleria as well? Not that I wouldn't go to either for it, just FYI. I should look and see if the one by Grand Central has it.

I don't remember if the Galleria had it. I also don't remember if the sale ends before then. It usually ends somewhere around the 15th. I don't think we're really having a party, it was more just a suggestion that people come hang out. Low key and such.
