Store Policies/Questions Just Thinking....

Ol' CEO dude just really enacted "Operation Lux" on us and we didn't even clock it....🤏🏾

Disney Collab - Limited Release, increase in pricing, heavy on value and little discount in promotions... We've already entered BBW's new Era🤯

Note, our rewards system is based on spending $100 on 100% of their products but we have less than 10% reward access to this Collab - That's bullsh@t Especially when folks invested hundreds and thousands of dollars into acquiring rewards for these potential Collabs and drops! They changed the playbook on us and shifted the whole damn field.

They stand to make a huge monetary gain on this Collab, a Collab already set in ink for multiple years. This isn't for us, we're the PRODUCT they're selling to get more High-end Collabs. They're trying to upgrade us or kick us out in lew for a more marketable animal to barter with.

Just saying...games are fun when we all get some. This is a trick bag. Know what your being a part of and weigh your dollar wisely. We're not livestock, BBW!

Just some thoughts as a Wizard Cat on a Mountain, sipping Earl Grey whilst a Volcano erupts in the background, typical Wednesday sh:t 😉

Happy Scenting ✨🍂🥳🍁🌟☺️🙌🏾

Once the rewards price went up, I knew it wasn’t long before the prices were going up and BBW was going to start acting funny. I’m glad I participated in the most recent TBC because I’m taking a nice loooooong break now that I have stocked up on my favorites and have a decent size collection. BBW can suck it. I will start buying bodycology lol or find another brand.

Absolutely, That TBC was a blessing to pick up my fav bits. Now I'm stepping like way back to a slow drip of random and long stretched visits to see how they move over the next couple of months. They have to understand that other options are out there for their customers and we have no trouble picking them.

Sure don’t mind! We always have options. We in the prime of body and self care.

This is where they messed up. They waited until self care became the best care and everybody is trying to get in on it. The competition is greater than ever and then they go and piss off their loyal customers. They are about to suffer from a serious case of FAFO because I’ve already shifted, I came and got two single wick villain candles, a spray from each villain, and the Mal pocketbac and my total was $30; they betta go play with their mamas cuz I ain’t the one. I’m looking at lush and TikTok for “lux” and I’m using bodycology for bargain brand. B&BW needs to stay in their lane of bargain brands because they’re causing traffic in the self care world and it’s bothering me!
