Bath and Body Works: Forest Friends Wallflowers for Fall


Recently, I saw that Bath and Body Works had released their fall collection of Wallflowers scent units. This was exciting because A) I love my Wallflower when I’m at school. It really makes coming home a true joy in the day because suddenly everything smells better and B) the theme is woodland creatures. 

Seriously, you can’t get much freakin’ cuter than these little guys. As I have a super soft spot for critters, you my dear readers are now going to get bombarded with pictures of these Wallflowers whether you really wish to be or not. Oh poor you.







Now I want more. I seriously wish they had made some different animals too like deer and skunks (because I’m the type of person who would find nice smells coming from a cute skunk wall scent station thing hilarious.) To me having two colour variations of only three animals does not equal Woodland Friends. Just saying I wanted more.

Bath and Body Works: Wallflowers~ Review

New Wallflower Plug for Spring! From Bath and Body Works
If you haven't heard about the Bath and Body Works Wallflowers before, it's about time you have! As some of you mentioned wanting a few non-cosmetic items, here is my first review.

These nifty little things are scents you screw into different decorative plugs before inserting it into an electrical socket. The plugs heat up the scent and the entire room smells of fragrance!
I love these things, not only do they work wonderfully, but the scents are potent and they last a long time too. Plus they are always coming out with new plug designs and scents.

Here are some of the new spring Wallflower plugs:
The scents come in little glass vials with a infused 'wick' that is inserted into the plug when you screw them on. I have had a slight issue when the scent runs out (they last a fairly long time- more than 2 months), in that because they've been heated up the plug can be a bit gunky. This is easily fixed though by unplugging it and using a damp cloth.

They are kind of expensive, in that the plugs average around $7 CND and the scents for two vials are around $15 CND for two. However, they often have deals or sales involved for many scents and plugs so it's not that bad in the end. Not to mention how nice it is to come home to a nice smelling room. (I find these perfect for my townhouse at school, very relaxing!)

Here are some of my favourite scents available:
Pineapple Orchid (Bath and Body Works)
Caribbean Salsa (Bath and Body Works)
I also like how cheerful the plugs look on the wall with the pretty little scent vial so nicely beneath.

Sprite Rating: 9/10

Overall, these are long lasting, pretty, potent and there is a ton of variety! The only point lost was due to the slight gunk issue on the plugs after a vial is finished sometimes. 

Would I buy these again? Yes! I adore them, especially while away at school. Having something smell nice day after day greet me as I enter the room makes these totally worth it!

Bath and Body Works Wallflowers are currently on for a deal. You can get a little carton of 4 different scents for $20 (USD?) and they have a mix and match deal  on the plugs and some scents- buy 4 for $20 or 6 for $24.

Wall Flowers

I know this isn't cosmetic related but I wanted to point out how awesome these are! Wallflowers, are available at Bath & Body Works and they are truly decascent (why yes, I do like puns....)
Anyways, these pretty little glass bottles plug into the wall and make the entire room smell lovely (or in my case most of the top floor of my itty bitty townhouse). The two I've used are Caribbean Salsa and Pineapple Orchid and I've loved both. The nice thing is they are the same scent as the candles and body products throughout the store so you can smell the possible scents before you purchase, which is a huge bonus for me as I'm highly allergic to certain scents. Plus you can get lots of cute plugs too. 
They last about a month and a half which isn't very long but since they smell so good I don't mind. Plus, around the holiday season they have kits or deals on certain scents or vials. Yay! Now I just have to figure out if the vials are recyclable or not...

Does anyone else like nice smelling things in there home? Or do you prefer you residences scent-free?
