To Bath & Body Works

You killed my confidence.

Dear Bath & Body Works,

Let me start out by saying that I really do enjoy your work. From the moment I hit puberty in middle school and needed to pay extra attention to my hygiene and way I smelled, you've been there for me with all the pretty pink scents I could imagine. As I have grown older into the blossoming, young adult that I am today, I have learned it's better to settle for one, loyal, and mature scent than playing the daily switch game between Sweet Pea, Pink Chiffon and Malibu. Your scent, Cashmere Glow, has been by my side since my freshmen year of high school. I use it daily in lotion and perfume form. I use the shave gel, body wash and when I'm in the pampering mood, I will break out my Cashmere Glow body exfoliator. The other day, I walked into your store, looking to purchase more of this wonderful product as I was about out of lotion for the summer. I walked in and headed right over to the shelf that my fragrance friend calls home. I reached up to grab a bottle but something was off....this red bottle wasn't the warm golden brown I love. No. IMPOSTER. After standing there confused and afraid, I walked over to the saleswoman who greeted me with a generous smile. I then asked what in the Sam Hell this was that I was holding in my hand and demanded to know what had happened to my sweet, sweet aroma. She said the words I dreaded to hear: "Oh! That scent has actually been discontinued! I can show you some similar scents this way!" No, saleslady Becky, I don't want a "similar" scent. You decided to take this beautiful, trusty scent away from me. My heart is broken. This particular olfactory sensation holds memories (just ask my ex), makes me confident, and makes me, me. You should really re-name it to Grace Fjellanger. My friends can always tell who is forcefully hugging them or whose sweatshirt it was left in their room. It has become a part of me. What am I to do now? My mother shared in this traumatizing experience and hopped online to buy me 100 dollars worth of product. But, now the scent appears to be in full stock on your website again. I'm just getting mixed messages. Do I need to start looking else where for my olfactory identity? Get it together Bath & Body. Also maybe consider giving a college student discount? Thank you for your consideration.

Love and smells,


Grace

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
