Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! I hope you are all doing well and enjoying your afternoon (or morning!)
Today Bath & Body Works’ first fabric spray debuted online, available in their popular and classic signature scent, Gingham. The product was first discovered and revealed in a sneak peek last week, and it has now appeared online for purchase (the stores are currently closed due to COVID-19, so the spray is obviously not available there.) The spray retails for $9.50. The scent is the same as all other Gingham products; “a fresh blend of bright florals & a hint of sweet citrus. Notes of blue freesia, sweet clementine & soft violet petal with Essential Oils.” The product description includes the Gingham scent’s slogan, “Fresh. Vibrant. Happy.” and reads “Lightly fragrance your fabrics with two quick bursts of this water based formula, exclusively developed by our team of home fragrance experts.” Although the product listing reads “Fabric Spray”, the packaging reads “Air & Fabric Mist”. This seems to be a cross between a fabric mist and a room spray, the latter of which Bath & Body Works already sells.

It will be interesting to see whether Bath & Body Works releases fabric mists in their other signature scents, such as Perfect Peony and A Thousand Wishes, in the future.

Hello everyone, happy Tuesday! I hope you’re all faring well as the majority of us are approaching two months of quarantine! (Yikes!)
Today a single new product appeared online: a hand soap seemingly part of the ginormous “Foamy Friends” collection. The soap is a green color with a cat illustration on the packaging. The soap is called “Right Meow” in the scent Apple Hibiscus.
According to the fragrance description, Right Meow is “a juicy, floral blend of apple nectar, hibiscus & sweet orange”.

This soap was first released in February of this year, with some of the other “Foamy Friends” soaps. However, this is the first time we have seen it online in quite a while.
If you’re looking to buy soaps in bulk, this one is part of the current “Mix and Match: 6 for $26 or 4 for $20” soap deal. If you’re looking to try this one as well as a few of the other new ones (such as Pomegranate Lemonade and Fresh Mint & Apple, which sound amazing to me) and some of the other Foamy Friends soaps, this would be a perfect time!
(On that note, I also forgot to mention that Boardwalk Taffy, Beachfront Blanket, and the rest of the new beach collection- plus Coast for Men, Perfect Peony, Gingham, the Bold Blooms and 2020 Tropics collections, and so many other scents- are part of the Buy 3, Get 2 Free body care sale going on right now. So hurry, hurry, hurry!)
Have a great day, and good luck with your hand soap haul! (Plus, run don’t walk to the PocketBac page because all three 5-packs are still currently available!)
The much-anticipated fifth scent in the beach-themed body care collection released on Friday is online now!
Beachfront Blanket is described as “a transportive blend of fresh white linen, summer sunrays & soft musk”. The fragrance description in the product overview section on both products reads “Summer days spent in the sunshine on a cozy beach blanket.” It is currently available in a fine fragrance mist ($14.50) and ultra shea body cream ($15.50). The packaging features blue and white stripes and an umbrella illustration. Beachfront Blanket joins four other similarly-packaged body care scents- Boardwalk Taffy, Coastal Hydrangeas, Sea Salt & Lavender, and Sunrise Sail- as part of an unnamed beach collection.
And now, a quick update on other products in the collection: Boardwalk Taffy’s body cream and Coastal Hydrangeas’ shower gel and body cream have now been released. The current lineup (as of today) includes Beachfront Blanket (fragrance mist, body cream), Boardwalk Taffy (shower gel, body cream, fragrance mist), C0astal Hydrangeas (shower gel, fragrance mist, body cream), Sea Salt & Lavender (body cream, fragrance mist, shower gel) and Sunrise Sail (body cream, shower gel).
Also, new hand sanitizers are available today: Mango Mai Tai, Eucalyptus Spearmint, and Atlantic! French Lavender, Sunshine & Lemons, and the two holders are still sold out; Caticorn holder and the Pineapple Colada spray are now gone. Hurry before they’re gone! (I’m getting Mango Mai Tai and Atlantic. Can’t wait!)
Thanks for reading this post! Don’t forget to follow the blog so you’ll never miss another new post! Stay tuned for more new exciting content coming soon!
Instead of going back and editing my “First Look! Summer Collection” post, I thought I would put the necessary update in a separate post.
My apologies! I shared that the Citrus & Sunshine hand sanitizer spray did not appear online, but it did. Pineapple Colada didn’t come until later, so it remained in stock. However, Citrus & Sunshine sold out before I started working on this post.
I also forgot to mention two more new candle holders that dropped with the rest of the collection: Pride and Coral Reef.
Hello there everyone! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Good luck surviving Monday! 😀
I have some exciting news to share: Sugar & Sweet Spice is now on Blogger as well! You can visit at sugarandsweetspice.blogspot.com. All posts from Sugar & Sweet Spice on WordPress will be available there as well. I plan to expand to Tumblr and possibly Bloglovin’ soon!
Hello everyone! Happy Saturday- and happy weekend! I hope you are relaxing (if possible) and enjoying your Mother’s Day weekend!
This morning, a brand-new “Caticorn” Pocketbac holder was released online! (How exciting!) The holder appears to be made of rubber, and the design features a black and white cat with a rainbow unicorn horn that lights up and white paws that will cover the bottom of your Pocketbac once placed inside. The holder has a silver keychain, making it easy to clip onto your backpack, purse, etc. This would cost you $8.95 if, like me, you think this is so stinking cute and would look great with your favorite unicorn hand sanitizer!! (Really, any hand sanitizer would work, of course.)

If you’re a fan of the Men’s Collection, the Ocean hand sanitizer 5-pack is still available! (And don’t forget about that adorable Pineapple Colada hand sanitizer spray!)
Have a wonderful day, and stay tuned for more exciting content coming soon!
Hello everyone! Happy Hump Day! I hope you’re doing well.
Two days ago, on Monday, May 4, 2020, BBW Rewards members got their first look at the upcoming summer collection. Tess from Life Inside the Page shared these details as well. According to current knowledge, the collection features two body care scents, quite a few hand soaps in multiple formulas, and several candles. While the majority of the hand soaps are already available on the BBW website, the body care has not yet appeared. This is sure to be a big hit once everything is available- the scents sound amazing, and the packaging looks beautiful!
Let’s first talk about the products that are already available- the summer hand soap collection. As of now, there are two related packaging styles for the seemingly seaside-inspired collection, both named “Seaside Treats”, and one for the “Fresh Squeezed” fruit-inspired collection. All three are currently available online, with several individual scents already having sold out for certain periods of time.
The first collection appears to be inspired by the sea, with coastal-inspired colorful watercolor-style packaging. The collection features 6 gentle foaming soaps: old favorite Boardwalk Vanilla Cone, fall-inspired Crisp Morning Air, brand-new sold-out Cotton Candy Skies, previously popular Turquoise Waters, and apparently-new Beach Bliss and Sea Salt & Lime.
The second collection, also called “Seaside Treats” features the same 6 scents as its colorful counterpart, but in neutral, metallic packaging. These neutral-packaged soaps are also only available in the new “Gentle Gel” formula, not the classic and much more common Gentle Foaming.

The third and final currently-available summer hand soap collection, known as “Fresh Squeezed”, features colorful 6 fruit-scented gentle foaming soaps- brand-new Blueberry Lemonade, summer classic Coconut Colada, somewhat-common Island Papaya, PocketBac favorite Pineapple Mango, fairly new but popular Raspberry Tangerine, and classic Sun-Washed Citrus- all in corresponding packaging. Each soap’s packaging is decorated to look like the two (or more) fruits it represents.

A similarly-packaged hand soap duo currently called the “Black & White” collection- hence its monochromatic packaging- has yet to be released. The two current Black & White hand soaps are Beach Cabana (in white packaging with gold and gray accents) and Endless Weekend (in black packaging with gray and white accents.) Both scents have been available at BBW in various forms for quite some time as I am writing this, and due to their beachy aesthetic are especially popular in the summer months, during times such as SAS. The two soaps feature the same black pump handles but have contrasting packaging.

Two candles- Berry Waffle Cone and Summer Boardwalk- and one hand soap- Crisp Morning Air, a gentle foaming soap from the watercolor Seaside Treats collection.
UPDATE: Friday, May 8. Hello everyone! I didn’t feel like erasing all of the “coming soon” collection details above, so I’m just going to share the products as an update now that they are actually online.
BODY CARE: Boardwalk Taffy and Sea Salt & Lavender made their body care debut and are currently available (as of 1:00 PM CST) in shower gel and fragrance mist form (Boardwalk Taffy) and body cream, shower gel and fragrance mist form (Sea Salt & Lavender. Two similarly packaged scents, Sunrise Sail and Coastal Hydrangeas, also launched, but had not been part of BBW’s body care previews and therefore completely elusive. As of 1 PM CST, Sunrise Sail is only available as a shower gel and body cream, and Coastal Hydrangeas as a fragrance mist. (All other options have sold out.) A new Men’s Collection scent, Coast, also dropped and is currently available as a recently-introduced 3-in-1 hair, face and body wash (which used to be just a 2-in-1 hair and body wash), body cream, cologne, mini cologne, and deodorizing body spray.
CANDLES/HOME FRAGRANCE: The summer candle collection dropped today as well. It includes the two candles shown in the preview, Berry Waffle Cone Cone and Summer Boardwalk, as well as Warm Apple Pie (online exclusive), Sandcastles & Sunshine, Turquoise Waters, Ocean Driftwood, and Coastal Sun. Four new Wallflower plugs also dropped: Gem Butterfly Nightlight, Stained Glass Lighthouse Nightlight, Guitar, and Watermelon.
Two new individual candles also launched, Aloha Kiwi Passionfruit (in a pinkish-red color) and online-exclusive Cucumber Melon in new packaging.
Two new candle holders, “Sparkling Shells” and “Palm Tree Skyline” also debuted.

HAND SOAPS: The “Black & White” collection, which was teased in the summer previews with Endless Weekend and Beach Cabana soaps in monochromatic packaging, was released with the two preview soaps as well as two others, Fresh Lavender Mint (in white) and Crystal Waves (in black), both completely new scents.
A colorful collection of four gentle foaming hand soaps also launched, and does not yet have an official name. This collection was not shown or mentioned at all in the summer previews. The four soaps are Island Papaya (in light ballerina pink), Cotton & Freesia (in light mint blue), Fresh Mint Apple (in the same shade of pinkish-red as the Aloha Kiwi Passionfruit candle), and Pomegranate Lemonade (in dark plum purple). All four soaps are online exclusive, and all but Island Papaya are completely new.
Two gentle foaming soaps in packaging similar to 2019 and 2020’s “Foamy Friends” soap and Pocketbac collection (which featured scents such as Stay Magical in Pineapple Punch and Feline Good in Cherry Sweet). The two soaps are “So Fantastic” (in the scent “Jawsome”- what does that smell like?? “A fintastic, ocean-y blend of golden apricot, blue orchid petals & coral sands”, apparently) and “Shell Yeah” (in much more straightforward “Peach Passionfruit”.)
Two other soaps from the collection, Be Magical (Unicorn Milkshake) and Stay Pawsitive (Iced Vanilla Cookie) were re-released online. They debuted earlier in 2020 along with the rest of the “Foamy Friends” 2020 collection.
HAND SANITIZERS: A brand-new hand sanitizer spray (not branded as “Pocketbacs”, like the foaming mousse antibacterial santizers and the GermX-style pump bottle, but similar to the “Pocketbac sprays” from a few years ago) was released today, in the scent “Pineapple Colada”. The packaging is similar to that of the “Fresh Squeezed” hand soap collection. (Pineapple Colada is not to be confused with Coconut Colada, which is a soap included in that Fresh Squeezed collection.) A completely different hand sanitizer spray, Citrus & Sunshine, was teased in the previews, but has not yet been released online (to my current knowledge).

The Men’s Collection Ocean PocketBac was released in a 5-pack today, and is still currently available (as of 1 PM CST). All other hand sanitizers and holders (besides Pineapple Colada) are currently sold out.
Congratulations! You made it to the end of this unbearably long post. My apologies! There’s just so much to get through.
Oh, and one more thing before you go- that elusive bakery collection (Cherry Hand Pie, Blackberry Cobbler, Strawberry Maple Waffles, Chocolate Peach Macaron, etc.) are (or were) back in stock now! (Only Clementine Sorbet, Chocolate Rose Macaron, Frosted Pumpkin Cookie and Blueberry Pie and are available right now. Sorry!)
Thank you so much for reading this post! I hope you enjoyed it and, like I am, are excited for all the new summer goodies at BBW. Stay tuned for more exciting content coming soon!
Hello there! It’s so great to have you here for the first time. I’m Charlotte, and I’d like to welcome you to my brand new blog, Sugar & Sweet Spice! This site is dedicated to my longtime love of Bath & Body Works, and here you’ll find reviews, hauls, updates, favorites and more. 🙂
Before I begin creating some of this blog’s first content (how exciting!) I’ll introduce myself. As mentioned before, my name is Charlotte, and I’m a twenty-something city girl and mom to two kitties, Basil and Pumpkin. I love Starbucks, Disney, Friends, fashion, and, of course, Bath & Body Works, which has been one of my most favorite stores since middle school. (Butterfly Flower and Warm Vanilla Sugar were- and still are- my go-to scents.) I also love writing, which also inspired me to create this blog!
Before you go, I’ll list some content you can expect to see this week. Throughout quarantine I’ll be posting a lot about Pocketbac hand sanitizers (one of the biggest aspects of my collection), so you can expect to see posts about that. I’ll also likely review some of the new candles, as well as the fairly-new Bold Blooms collection. Later in the week, I might review a few of my favorite scents. I’ll try to post every day (or at least every other day), but I have a busy schedule so I might not be able to.
I’m so excited to see where this blog goes, and I’ll be back soon with some amazing content! (Don’t forget to follow our blog so you won’t miss a post!)
