Question
How well do the lambie ballerina slippers fit?
I'm hesitant with the "one size fits most". I have tiny feet ( I can range from a 5-6 depending on the sandal or shoe) and I was wondering if they would fit me.

I wear a 61/2- 7 and I did not like them at all. They were not snug at all. They may be better for someone with larger feet.

I have huge feet (size 11) and they don't fit me well but I am thinking anything 10 or under they will fit nicely.

I wear a size eight narrow. Length-wise the slippers are fine (they stretch well enough to fit my size 10 shoe sister), but they are a little baggy on the sides. They are good for lounging around the house and keep my feet nice and warm.

First off, what kind of scents do you like? If you like warm fragrances, I would go with Sensual Amber. A very nice, neutral scent that isn't too overpowering. Japanese Cherry Blossom is a popluar fragrance, as well as Warm Vanilla Sugar.

Body Cream is a really good moisturizer, and the Fragrance Splash and Shower Gel are good things to pair with it to help layer the fragrance, which makes it last longer throughout the day.

The anti-bacterial soap is AMAZING! It comes in so many wonderful scents and they really work!

There should be a 1-800 # on the back of the card you can call to check the amount (or balance) on the giftcard.

Also, if you are at a BBW store, just go up to one of the registers and a sales associate can check to see how much is on it and tell you right then when you are ready to shop.

If you don't use all the value of your giftcard, keep your receipt and use it as reference. It will list the remaining balance (if there is one) on your giftcard.

I agree with the previous poster who talked about "sealing" the scent in. Basically, what they described is called "layering" the scent. Here is a list of full layering:

Exfoliate 2-3x/week
Use scented shower gel or moisturizing shower cream
Apply scented body lotion/body cream/body butter (while skin is damp, type depends on skin type)
Apply a few spritzes of scented fragrance mist to skin
Apply a few sprays of scented EDT to your wrists, neck area (if desired)

This is a full layering of scent, which may not be desired at all times. The lightest layering would be to shower with your scented product, then apply scented lotion or cream (the type will depend on how dry your skin is), and then perhaps some fragrance mist in your scent (or just use EDT instead-it is a little stronger but not as strong when used solo rather than in combo with fragrance mist).

You can vary how much of the list you cover to alter the depth and duration of your fragrance. Sometimes you may want less scent if you are going to work or school, or other similar places where strong scents or perfumes may be frowned upon.

Now there are some additional products in the Sweet Pea fragrance line you could use as well, if you wanted to. First, there are the fairly new sugar scrubs in select Signature scents, including Sweet Pea. I like these scrubs in that they are good exfoliators, are less oily than many other sugar scrubs, they don't leave a film of oil behind on your body, and they lather up so you feel really clean. Sweet Pea also comes in a shampoo and conditioner, although I don't know that the hair care is for everyone. I've used another scent, and it is a good product but not tailored to speacialty hair care. It would be up to you to decide if you wanted to try it.

No amount of fragrance layering will give you a scent that lasts all day and into the evening. You will need to touch up at some point. The important thing here is not to overdo. You become accustomed to your scent, and you underestimate how much still remains. So before you touch things up a bit, it is helpful to ask a close friend or co-worker (if you can) how much they can smell of your fragrance. If it is still quite detectable to them, I would use a few sprays of fragrance mist only. If no one seems to notice much left of your scent, go for some EDT to boost things up.

A few small things to do throughout the day: the Signature hand cream is great if you have dry skin on your hands and you wash frequently. On the run? Use your choice of Sweet Pea waterless anti-bac sanitizers. There is also travel-sized lotion and fragrance mist. And while I don't believe there is one offered right now, be on the look out for giftsets that might come out in the future that might contain a small EDT in Sweet Pea.

As for mixing fragrances, that takes a lot of trial and error. Sometimes you can find a body cream of one fragrance, that does well with the fragrance mist of something else. I've mixed some different body creams together to create unique scents. Others have posted some of their "mixes" and suggestions. You could search the conversations for the topic "mixing scents or fragrances" and see what you find. So mixing scents can be accomplished, but it takes time to find a combination that works and that works well for you (we all have our own body chemistry to contend with, so what works for someone may not come across all that great for someone else). If you feel like being creative, go for it. You just may find some great new unique scents for yourself. You'll probably find some bad mixes, too, along the way.

Hope this helps. Sorry for the length.

There is a 3 step ritual to make your scent last longer. After using your favorite bbw shower gel, apply your lotion, body cream, or body butter. Next, "seal in" the frangrance by applying your body splash, and to make your scent lasts even longer, add a few sprays of the Eau de Toilette.

I recommend using the same scent, as mixing scents may turn bad very quickly.

WHAT DO WARM VANIILLA SUGAR SMELL LIKE?

Warm Vanilla Sugar is one of the most popular scents sold by BBW. Many people love it, lots of people like it, most people tolerate being around it. Only a few dislike it.

Warm Vanilla Sugar (WVS) is a sweet vanilla, like the baking vanilla scent you use when making sugar cookies. It has undertones (scents that are present but you may not be conscious of smelling them independently) of coconut and sandalwood. The sandalwood creates a very gentle and mellow vanilla, so it is not sharp or displeasing to the nose. WVS is a pleasing and comforting scent, which is why it falls under the subheading of the "Cuddlers" created by BBW (there are 4 groups in case you don't know, the Cuddlers, the Romantcs, the Freshes, and the Sexys).

I think WVS would be a great gift for Mother's Day. It comes in body care items, personal fragrance (short-lasting fragrance mist or longer-lasting but more expensive Eau de Toilette), anti-bac hand soaps, waterless hand sanitizers, and home fragrance items. There are also several pre-arranged giftsets that are nicely done-all you have to do is pick the one you want to purchase, and give it. Can't get any easier than that! And if she prefers something else? BBW will let her exchange it, even if she opened it. Satisfaction guaranteed. I hope this helps.

The Warm Vanilla Sugar is like a comfort scent - a little sweet but not too sweet, and not too strong either. I think it's a good scent for someone who doesn't like too much fragrance, and Warm Vanilla Sugar has been around for a while so it has to be a popular scent.

Usually they are fine but it's not worth the risk. I would wait until the summer semi-annual if your looking for Christmas gifts. It's not a bad idea to get some extra gifts now though to save for spring and summer gifts.

As long as none of them are opened and arent left in harsh temperate conditions, you should be fine. They will have other sales later on in the year though, if waiting to stock up is easier..
