Beauty | Animal Hand Sanitizers from Bath & Body Works

So I seem to have been MIA recently. I no sooner got this blog up and running and then I decided to move back home to Canada (from England), so things were a bit hectic for a while. But now that I'm settled again, I'm ready to get this blog going!

When I moved home, my first priority was obviously to go on a shopping trip to stock up on all my essentials that I couldn't bring home with me (think: hairspray, shampoo - you get the idea). It just so happens that my shopping trip fell on the first day of the Bath & Body Works big semi-annual sale (that was not planned, I promise).

I had seen these cute little guys online, so when I came across them in the store I just had to get one of each. 




I always have a least one hand sanitizer in each of my bags for those times when soap and water just aren't around, but I usually find myself grabbing those plain alcohol smelling ones from the drug store, so these zoo animals are certainly a welcomed addition to my purse! They smell great too. The Zebra smells like fruit punch, the leopard is apple, the giraffe is pineapple, the monkey is vanilla, and the hippo is berry. I find the vanilla still has a bit of that nasty alcohol smell to it, but the others all smell almost edible (please don't eat them though). 

I bought these guys in the sale for $1 each (reg. $1.75 each). Although the zebra cost me $2 which I found odd - but I still had to have him! Online you can buy a bundle of all 5 of these animal sanitizers for $5 in the sale (reg. $8.75).  

Have you guys tried any of these Bath & Body Works sanitizers? What other scents would you recommend I try next?

And The Story Begins ... An Introduction

"As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, woulda, shoulda, buckle up, and just keep going." -- Carrie Bradshaw (Sex and the City).


Like so many before me, and probably those who come after me as well, my passion for writing and fashion stems from none other than the beautiful Carrie Bradshaw. Despite being only a character on our TV screens, Carrie was just the right balance between real life and fiction. 

No doubt there are just as many of you out there who don't approve of Sex and the City as there are devoted fans, but not to worry! This blog is not about Carrie and her friends, as that story has already been told. Having spent the last week watching every episode from season one straight through 'til the end merely gave me the inspiration to pick up my pen again and start writing. The idea seems so simple, but after years and years of writing nothing but essays and exams all revolving around the legal system, I forgot what pure joy I got from writing just for myself. 

So here it goes. A fashion, beauty and lifestyle blog, likely speckled with other tid bits that reflect me and my personality. I hope you enjoy reading this blog as much as I enjoy writing it.
