Yet Another Vice
I have a problem. Fortunately, that problem has a name: Bath and Body Works.
While not this is not a blatant ad, it may certainly appear to be one. I'd apologize, but I'm not sorry.
Saturday a friend of mine came to town and we hit the mall (much to my chagrin). Then, I happened to wander into Bath and Body Works. It's not like I needed any more hand lotion (actually, body cream), but I certainly wanted some. In my office, as of Friday night, I already had 3-8 oz tubes of different scents of body cream from there (Rice Flower and Shea, Mango Mandarin, and Gardenia Lily since you asked), and a 6.9 oz tub of Body Butter from The Body Shop (Passion Fruit). The later of the list I almost never use and feel terrible that my roommate bought it for me only to leave it lying around.
In addition to all those, I have some junk hand lotion (Suave, I think *cringe*, and something else which while not an overly pleasant smell is also not overly unpleasant) which never gets used, some Lay It On Thick (I swear by this stuff -- I use it most nights on my feet to keep them smooth) and some random hand lotion (also never used) that ExOfNote's mom gave me for Christmas two years ago.
I also always carry a small tube of lotion with me in my purse or bag. I have two trial size (1.7 oz) containers that I refill from the larger tubes (Mango Mandarin and Gardenia Lily), and another scent that I bought on whim (are we surprised) called Honey & Shea. For the record, my little container is much cuter than the one in the link. I love this stuff, too.
Thus, one might surmise, there is no way I need any more lotions, etc. There, however, one would be painfully wrong. When all was said and done I was rather pleased with my purchases. They are as follows:

- Honey & Shea Body Balm – Smooth on legs after shaving. Wow. That's heavenly!
- Lemongrass Mandarin Aromatherapy Hydrating Body Cream – I think this one may be going out of stock (couldn't find a picture of it) but, DANG, it smells delic. (Oh, and it's "energizing" -- gotta love aromatherapy)
- Verbena & Lemon Energizing Shower Gel – While you're seeing a pattern here, rest assured, I just like the scents.
- Honey & Shea Shower Gel – This one is a viable pattern to see.
- Room Freshener – for my car. I actually got two of these, one Creamy Nutmeg and the other French Vanilla.
