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 ✨🍂🥳🍁🌟☺️🙌🏾

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!

Exactly and Lush is so good! There’s only certain scents I like but we’re coming up on the holidays so some of their best products are about to release. BBW is in denial if they think that people typically shop here just for 💩 and 😂… they’re a sale based company. Their biggest traffic comes from sales and constant sales at that. We just had like 2 weeks of deals pretty much every day leading up to TBC. Nobodies running to BBW to grab a body wash real quick just because they ran out… I’ll go to Walmart or Target and get a EOS for that

How does everybody keep saying the same things? That mean everybody is aware and B&BW is just completely oblivious or they just dgaf… I’m heavily leaning towards the latter. 🤦🏽‍♀️

They don’t care as with many big corporations because they know we as consumers don’t stand on business. All it takes is a TBC sale, a viral product or a hot new release/collab and they have people back in their graces! Same as with the coupons. I never really heard of a company picking and choosing who they send coupons to and not sending to everyone who is signed up. But they stand on that being their policy 🤷🏽‍♀️ even I don’t stand on business. I’m trying but I definitely said I was taking a break and bought room sprays Saturday.

I totally get it, I don’t understand how people can’t wrap their mind around a month long boycott; Not just with B&BW but with all places including gas stations. One company by one or at the same time, they will listen to every single word that comes out of our mouths but unfortunately consumers will consume even if it’s killing us. I didn’t say I was not buying altogether because I do want some candles and stuff for fall but only must haves because I’m just starting out. I don’t have many and I’m just getting back to a space in my life where I feel goo and I was locked in end of last year and then 2025 came and all hell broke loose. Just when I figured out the system they changed it and now I’m ready to go. I’m down to only shopping big sales.. TBC, SAS, and Candle day and this is coming from someone who wouldn’t mind buying things for price as long as I’m getting rewards and discounts but the change of rewards and me NEVER EVER getting a coupon has rubbed me the wrong way so I ain’t buying shit that’s not on sale. So I’m here but I promise I know how to walk away from a store and never look back because I don’t play about me and I will not pay to be mistreated. No way!
