If you ever get your dream dedicated B&BW room it should have a sign "Bath and Bonnie Works"
😂😂
😂😂😂
too cute ❤
I already have so much that I’m seriously considering donating a lot of it to the women’s shelter. I know I will never use up all of it, and I don’t want it to go bad or go to waste. I could sell it, but I don’t want the hassle of having to ship product out. It would make me feel good to donate it to women who would really love to have it.
❤❤❤
This is an excellent idea!
Do you mind donating to a group of school girls? I work in a small school and a lot of these girls don’t have access to much.
If you okay with that please let me know!
Make sure the women's shelter takes these items. Many don't accept personal care items that aren't shrink wrapped or sealed in some way. I've tried to donate to my local shelters and they all refuse. Why? They care very much about the women's health and safety, and unfortunately there are people who exist who will put toxic materials into the products because they just hate women. There are also people who mean well, but live in hoarder houses. The shelters want to make sure their products aren't covered in rat pee, even if it looks clean on the surface! The safety and health of the women at the shelters take priority over any donation!
So be sure to check with your local shelters first before donating!
I have a lot of sets, but I use them. I enjoy picking a different scent to use each day. I have about 120 complete sets (ffm, shower gel, lotion/body cream). I rotate them by season. 😊 I occasionally give away the ones I’m not crazy about.
I love a new fragrance every day too! I wear Cozy Evening every night at bedtime when I scroll or read. So lovely!
Bonnie, your photos are always absolutely beautiful! You truly are archiving the history of BBW as you go! Years from now, these photos will become even more important for collectors to reference. Great job! 👍⭐️
I agree, she’s great at photography! I really love the ones she takes outside in her garden. 💚
@@kaymuldoon3575 yesss!😉
I don’t know how many I have but it’s a lot every time I walk in the mall my daughter has to remind me I already have the entire bbw store 😂😂 I’m on restriction until I can use what I have
I just bought the tropical collection and I’m now on a no buy until SAS. My collection is getting a little out of control.
The last collection I bought was Dream Bright...can't even remember what I bought before then...I have 2 shelves in my bathroom with bodycare I'm now "shopping" from😊
Same here! I have plenty to last until SAS and doubt I will even have many empties
I'm going to try to hold out until SAS as well. I may break down and buy the travel size new Gingam minis, but only if we have a mini sale..
I just ordered the whole tropical collection online when they had the mist sale. I only got it in the mists. I will pick out a wish list and add it to my cart. Then when they have a good mist sale, I will make an order. But I may be good until the SAS sale too. I am currently trying to organize all my collection now.
X2 😂
WOAH!!! 400 plus, that's crazy high but also exciting 🥰🥰. I cant believe u have tht many but as a reviewer I get it and am happy you can pull 1 out to tell us abt, especially omes i never tried🤗! I LUV the mist too but personally wouldn't want tht many, it'd stress me out 😂
I have a lot of body care but every once in awhile I declutter. I do understand this is your job so I get your collection but im trying to get mine down to items I just use. It can get so overwhelming. But my candles...no one can never have lol
I only have around 10. It's hard for me to even finish a mini hehe. 😊
Me too! 😅
I have a very large collection too! I need to reorganize my collection and declutter. I have cut back since January. ❤
I love watching your longer collection videos!
I love when you go through your collection🥰 I didn’t start until 2020 so it’s always fun to see what I missed 😊
I'm late to the game too. But enjoying putting my collection together. ☺
Same here! Although years ago when I was working my co workers would give me some and I kept it but they didn’t smell good so I tossed them. I missed out on a lot but that’s ok ☺️
I got so excited when you pulled out Bright Lemon Snowdrop I LOVED that scent SO Much. Probably my favorite BBW'S scent of all time - please bring it back one day Bath and Body Works 😁💖🍋❄ / Great video and gorgeous collection Bonnie thank you 🤗
Awesome picture’s Bonnie love it. The colors are amazing 👍👍
I'm in the process of uploading my collection pics to IG and I currently have 318, with probably 200 being B&BW. I'm the same as you. If I have a scent I want to collect, I buy at least 2, one to use and one to 'hold'. Usually faceted bottles don't get used. I like the way light shines through them.
I stopped purchasing every scent in every collection though. Takes up too much room and no sense in keeping something I dislike.
Your photos are absolutely beautiful! Thanks so much for all the time you put into this epic video!! 💖🤩🙌🏻
I buy the travel sizes because I don’t have a lot of space and love alllll the smells😂 I do get a full size if I really love the scent. It takes me awhile to go through a whole bottle
Bonnie, I collect them all and what I do is I label each mist so that I can see in my crates and carts what I have. I put the labels on the top cap. It works great and I have them in inventory on a spread sheet! Works out great!😉
Great idea on labeling the tops. What type of label maker do you use for them?
@@MRSTLHIGGINS74 I just buy white labels and write on them every time I buy them
Hi Bonnie! I tend to mainly collect bakery scents in the fine fragrance mist. I am starting to collect the Halloween fine fragrance mist, I love the Halloween packaging! Thank you for sharing your collection Bonnie!
What a unique and amazing collection! Such a terrific informative video!!! Love your passion Librarian Bonnie!!!
BBW has come a long way since the days when I was heavily into collecting which was in the 90s and there was only a handful to collect 😂😂😂 but still fun nonetheless. I'm getting back into building my collection and so far I have about 30 fragrance mist but I only get what I absolutely like and will wear on a regular basis. I saw so many fragrances in your collection that I wish I had a chance to smell, I hope they bring back the Cherry Limeaide, I'd love to smell that one. TFS your beautiful collection with us 🤗
i really want to smell that pink watermelon! i wonder if it smells just like the candle
I have 26 Fine Mist Sprays including two diamond shimmer mist because sometimes I like to sparkle. I’ve donated or gifted at least 10 and sold some to friends not selling online. I can’t sell online gotta be in person because I work at Bath and Body Works. But yes I definitely had at one point possibly 50 maybe 100 and I felt overwhelmed. I can’t imagine getting up over 100+ collection and not feeling overwhelmed but I’d imagine with the right space and organization it might not be awful.
✨Hi Bonnie! Thank you so much for sharing your collection and thoughts on being a collector!
You’re a phenomenal reviewer, a bright ray of sunshine 🌞 and an absolute gift 🎁 and treasure to the fragrance community.
So grateful for your channel and your helpful detailed and timely reviews and comparisons.
Last but not least, in case it’s helpful, I wanted to share that I organize my collection by color and find that really helpful.
Each row is a different color of the rainbow.
So on your bookshelf top shelf could be dark red, light red, dark orange, light orange, yellow, gold…
Middle shelf could be dark green, light green, dark blue, light blue, dark purple, light purple, etc … Good luck!!
Organize it in whatever way makes sense to you and whatever way is aesthetic to your eye! 🌈
For dresser display I use two Peach (also available in white)Pillowfort Caddies from Target. I luv them, they hold 17 fine fragrance mist and the other one i use for the creams.
Mine looks like i have 1 compared to you! Lol. You too funny girl!!🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂right same!!
@@2tears35 I saw your comment the other day on how your youngest son wants to be a paleontologist. I'm like I'm 38 and I don't even know that word or what that is! Lol!! I probably have.....12 scents from bath and body works? I don't have much. Especially compared to silly Bonnie!!😁
@@andreabuzicky1881hey friend, yes he does and it's pretty cool. Hope he sticks with it but if not career wise,I think his luv for it will be lifelong, it'd be a cool career tho. I have over 100 n its overwhelming so I can only imagine 400😂. But Bonnie has sooo many goodies,like a museum 🥰
If you like perfume too, check out Huds Katan’s video on her library! It’s jaw-dropping and gorgeous. If you aren’t familiar, she’s one of the creators of Kayali perfumes. And her house is something else too 😮
Great job on the lengthier video! You have a collection to be proud of and kudos for having the presence of mind way back when to hang on to so much! I only collect candles and accessories, which is a nightmare from a storage standpoint but I love looking back at older items and using them year to year. So much nostalgia associated with fragrance! I think my oldest candle is 10-12 years old.
Lovely video! You’re inspiring me to want to start a collection. I missed some scents too wish I had extra bottles of. Now I know to make sure I get extra of my favorites.❤❤
Absolutely love this video; thank you so much Bonnie! ☺️
Loved seeing the collection and the longer video, so cool ! -Kristen
At this point bbw should send u everything just for your reviews u need to be a paid employee and receive all free merchandise moving forward 😂
i love seeing your collection!❤
Loved seeing your collection of Bath and Body works! I have mine In a bookcase by season but like you it’s hard to keep organized as I am always pulling them out. So much fun to go back and smell them when I am stressed out or having a long day. I do that with my candles too lol. It’s my happy place to visit my collection. I think I will have to start buying crates like you suggested, that’s a good way to store them. Trying my best to only buy foodie (my favorite type) so I don’t let my collection get out of hand.
Amazing Video Bonnie!!!! 💗💗💗 thank you so much for sharing your collection, tips and tricks!! Super Awesome!! I’m randomly using Bonfire Bash this past week and like…ohh my gosh this scent is just soooooooooo good! I think because I live in Michigan and it’s still cold and coming out of winter..but anyways love seeing this! Great Job!!!
GREAT video Bonnie. Also YES High Fidelity was a great film, love John ( and sister Joan : ) Cusack 😊
If you ever do a destash your Mercari is going to be popping!!
I am so happy you showed the Michael’s Crates you store your mists in ❤❤ I bought 10 on sale and now use those for all my BBW mist ! Love collecting 🙌🏻 it’s such a great hobby ( thank god I have a garage and basement lol 😂 )! Have a fab day !! 🎉🎉❤
I love longer videos. This was perfect
Bonnie do you have carmel Aspen woods, snow kissed sugar, frosted wonderland, vanilla noir, fresh vanilla,whipped vanilla bean, touch of magic, toasted hazelnut, exotic coconut, freshwater cucumber,they need to give these all back
Thanks for archiving your collection! My friend does spreadsheets of all her beauty items to keep track of her inventory 😆. I’m more of a use it up before you buy type, but if you love a collection, mists are the way to keep long term. My oldest mist is ( P..S. I Love You)10 years old this year 😮.
I so appreciate a good collection. Yours is quite impressive 😊. It’s definitely nice to be able to look back and reference previous releases for comparison. I was feeling the like 30 or so bbw mists I have was a lot but that’s mostly because of storage reasons. I definitely need a few more fall scents. I only have 3.
I do the minis to save on space - candles I collect the bakery & fruity candles - and I get a sample of the scents I like in the other seasons 😊
I only by stuff I'm interested in. I probably have 100 ffm. Sometimes, I buy duplicates cause I'm a sucker for packaging.
Hi Bonnie, wow, 400 FFM ! Understandable since you are a reviewer. They look very organized though w/ the bins & shelves. The FFM collections look nice in your pictures too. I like to collect the new & bakery scents. I have too many, lol. Ty for the great review. Have a GN. 🤗💕💕
My collection is huge I try not to buy repeats (some exceptions) unless ones bad , I like and am using or for someone else I don't need each release of the same thing. Luckily my daughter flies thru every item I give her
Thanks for taking the time in sharing your mist collection with us Ms. Bonnie! You mentioned a scent journal...how would you suggest I start that?
This was a wonderful video thank you for sharing
I have been going through some of your old videos in my free time and misread the title as 4000 not 400! I went "Wow! I had no idea that had so many different scents!" LOL
😊❤️❤️❤️
I'm gonna watch this on the big screen 📺. I love ❤ col videos & the longer the more fun bc I'm a collector too. I tend to only buy the scents I really like tho & I haven't counted how many mists I have yet. Having my own mini bbw store is fun tho, tfs.
My body mists are like gremlins. I think they multiply after midnight. Your right, my collection has gotten large in 2 years.
The blackboard was my FAVE Bottle Style as well🥰🥰
Meee tooo! ❤️ 😀 👍🏻
@@Cat_Lien 🥰🥰🥰
Yay, long Bonnie video! I love seeing your collection and I'm looking forward to the patio candles and pictures! It's been continuously dreary here and I'm thinking of summer and wearing Vanilla Confetti Sparkle now!
Amazing collections
Hi Bonnie I love how you have presented your products very nice
Thanks so much!
I love these collection videos. It's so much fun looking back revisiting fragrances. I don't have a large collection by no means, but I love what I have in my collection. I don't buy everything from every single collection as it can get out of control with space. I tend to go for more fall and winter fragrances. I also like foodie ones. I have some older mists in my collection which I'm keeping due to packaging. I have been buying BBW on and off throughout the years. I have a Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin from 2013. It was time I upgraded to a faceted last year. I have a Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin unlit candle in a ceramic pumpkin. It was part of their Pumpkin Carving Party collection. It still smells good. I have some odd ones like Purrfect Pumpkin and Crisp Orchard Leaves etc. I have some other older fragrances like Winter Candy Apple and Frosted Coconut Snowball in 2019 packages. This Christmas/Winter I will be buying new ones. I will be keeping them as again I love the packaging. I've started going back to buying more body care. I have been buying here and there including a couple of tropical ones. I have a list on what to look out for in the fall and winter for ones that tend to come back every year which I cannot wait 😃
That’s an awesome collection
I would love a dents video! Show us the ones that you use and the dents in your fragrance collection!
Thank you, Bonnie...you make me think I need more (LOL)! Love your videos!❤
😊❤️❤️❤️
Hey Bonnie Happy Tuesday 🙂... I don't like to think of myself as a collector but as a connoisseur instead🤣🤣!!! I have though amassed a very large amount😅😅 of body care from bbw's and other companies!!! The struggle though is very real and I do declutter n give away not as often as I should though😁😁... My problem is I wear my fragrances n matching body care according to season that's just me can't help it lol!! I definitely rotate my fragrances according to season with fall being the least I have because most of it just doesn't speak to me the only fall scents I have multiples of are Pink Velvet Cupcake and others that I deem season appropriate for me. The downside of having so much and everyone should also be mindful before starting to collect is having to move and transport everything to your new home!!! This is what I'm in the process of doing at this time and I have Years worth of products !!! SO it can be very overwhelming...So please keep that in mind as well b4 you start🙂🙂!!!
A Connoisseur! I love it! 😄👍🏻💖
@@Cat_Lien Thank You I knew someone would understand 🤣🤣!!!
@@takieshadavidson1440 😂
Love ur videos. Greetings from Texas! I've been a YTube subscriber and I can't believe I haven't followed u on social media!! You have beautiful pictures. The love and dedication can be transmitted from your pictures and videos to us. THANKS BEAUTIFUL 😍 ❤️
Thank you so much! Welcome 😊❤️❤️❤️
Yay I do seasonal totes too!
I love your videos! I would LOVE to see an “oddity” fragrances video!! ❤
Great idea!!
You’re absolutely right, it’s easy to accumulate a huge collection fast. Between the semi annual sales and various one day sales I have a lot of stuff and I’m not a reviewer 😂 I like how organized you keep your items.
I Love this video!❤ Thank you
😊❤️❤️❤️
Hey Bonnie, have a great week. 400 is alot, alot of great fragrances. I try to get alot of fragrances, I have a small collection. I was finally able to get more than 2 of Christmas fragrances last year and Ive just been enjoying it. Also Im trying the tropical fragrances, I couldnt get the fragrances before.
I seriously love these videos so much!! I would love organization hacks and videos while showcasing your collection! I’m currently in a fierce project-use-it-up since we’re in the blah of march with bbw!!! Love ya girl, hope your evening is well! Sending my best from Missouri!
Thank you so much 😊💕💕💕
I love these videos so much! Just you going through talking about scents is amazing! Bonnie, from a collector’s POV, what are your thoughts on collecting this spring at BBW? What are you collecting? Collector Chat Corner basically🤣❤️❤️❤️ Hope you the best!!
Your a meteorologist? That’s pretty cool 🥰🥰✊🏾 great video doll 🥰✋🏾🌹
Queen of the collections🥰
I’ve been collecting since 2017 and I have hundreds I lost count but I love them and I am like you I keep one of every one unless I hate it then it goes back but I love the archive ❤
Thx for videothats quitea collection you have. I just have a few favs on handmainly for daily use,and sinceimextremelypickyaboutscentwill remain a conservative buyer.god bless linda😊
Hi coco❤️
I'm PRAYING that they bring back Firecracker Pop this summer!!🤞🙏 It is, hands down, my favorite summer scent of All time! Pleeeeassseee, B&BW????!!😁
Yes! My bf says I smell like red gummy bears when I wear it. I loved last year's watermelon too!!
Omggg 35 mins yyyyaaayyyy 🎉🎉🎉
Pumpkin Pecan Waffles is the best fall scent, I never not want to use it. It's so yummy!
Hi Bonnie! Thanks for the great video 😊 Do you ever resell yours? I love supporting resellers if you ever do this online. I buy from other CZcamsrs (and whomever!) on Mercari and Poshmark.
You know, they have sites where you can basically Give away stuff. If it's something you want to get rid of, but it's you know, 3/4 of the way Empty, you can still post it - Trust Me, people will take it off your hands! Abd if you do it just in your area, don't even have to worry about shipping - people can just pick it up off your porch. It's awesome - one girl's trash is another girl's treasure!!👍😁
A FFM library sounds cool! I have a different mindset for my collection. Before I really started collecting, I outlined how I wanted to build my collection. I knew I wanted one that is customized to my personal taste and fits the different moods and settings I may be in. I decided that I should stick to one category (FFMs) to make it easier to limit the size of my collection. For the other categories, I limited my purchases to a 6-month supply in which I would replenish during SASs. I found that the best way to rein spending impulses is to rank the scents and pick the top scents. This ensured that no matter how good a sale is, I never buy more than the limit that I set.
I have 59 sprays. 47 of them are full sized FFMs. I've never decluttered my collection and I probably will never will.
No he revisado el canal pero me encantaría que hicieras videos por temporadas así como las pusiste en las fotos 😍🙏🏻
High fidelity is one of favorite movies of all time. Jack black was classic..
Also I'm praying they bring back autumn drive. I couldn't find anything at SAS and a lot of people couldn't find anything. Seemed like a good performer.
Bonnie you helped me so much
I couldn't figure out if pink suede was a Fall or winter fragrance 😂🤦♀️
Elated to know I'm not the only one who stores according to the seasons 😉
Thank you! ❤
Love the pineapple and gold vase behind u did they also come from breath and body works !!! Thanks
I sent 40 mist to my daughter to share with her co-workers. Sent some to my friends and put away my fall/ winter scents. Now, trying to make up my mind which ones I want to keep out for spring/summer.
That is awesome!
I've just started dippin my feet into collecting BBW fine fragrance mists because I recently started to like florals in fragrance mist only(and candles)😂..I am going to use them though, albeit much slower than my candied/gourmand/fruity scents that I use heavily! Thanks Bonnie❤..BTW, I'm really envious of some of those scents you have..I'm on Ebay every day looking for Toasted Praline Pear, Merry Cherry Cheer among others, but not for $30 a pop😂
I just pass alot along to family and friends. I don't buy something unless it's something I'm gonna use and I've got a good sized collection of past and present scents I use daily if im not using it I pass it on thanks for sharing 💓
I loveeee fall in bloom. It smells identical to Burberry Her . 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I wish they start bringing back the people's favorties that are retired!!!
They should! They’d sell a ton and make us customers happy!
Yesterday was all about FIreside Flurries for me. I've never gotten my hands on the mist though 😔. I love it though. It currently sits on my home desk. I have taken every lotion and body cream to work to let the ladies sample. It took awhile hahahahahahaha.
Hi Bonnie,
I don't have money to toss my B&BW products at all. I don't want to part with them anyways. 😂😂😂
You're collection is quite impressive.
Tfs Bonnie! ❤
I already have way too much that I don’t know what to do with. I just can’t help but buy when a new collection comes out as a fragrance lover. I don’t have storage space and I hate having to ship products to get rid of it because shipping supplies cost you as well.
Same here. I’m thinking of donating a lot of mine to the women’s shelter as I know I will never use up all of my products. It will go bad long before I could possibly use it. And I’m having to stop buying so much as well.
I take mine to a consignment shop to try and make a teeny bit of money back 😅 I love your women’s shelter idea! 😊
Wrapped In Sunshine is my absolute favorite scent! I’m so sad it hasn’t returned yet and that it may not ever return 😢😢😢
I review as well, but I don’t have the space or desire to collect necessarily. I have a collection, but I’m not a collector. I like to use my products as much as I like to share them.
I only started collecting the past couple years so I have serious FFM Envy of your collection lol! ❤ I’m not that familiar yet so still trying to figure out which ones would be one-offs and which ones are annual returns to be more selective on what I make sure I get 🤔
I would love ❤️ to have a Coconut Mint Drop in my collection 😊
Bonnie can you pleaseeee do a video of your all time favorite fragrance mists 😊
Yes!
Bonnie should open her own museum of scents
Also next we need the whole shelf!! 🤣
Gooooooood laaawd!! That's a HUGE collection!! How much money do you think you've spent on your entire collection?
I’m curious too!
Bonnie what s the name of the furniture where you keep the body mists in that snapshot?? I am looking for the name of those shelf drawer thingys lol for my candles.
👑 📖 i have the original sweater Weather don't have much as You you probably have velvet sugar was a fav of mine🕊
Hi Bonnie! Your collection is amazing 🤩 I was wondering which one of the sweater weathers smells like the candle? I’ve only ever tried it in the candle and I love it but I always heard that one of those mists was totally different
The Christmas one!
@@QueenoftheGirlGeeks ok cool! Thank you! I hope they bring it out again this year
