The Invasion of Bath and Body Works

Sometimes I think my parent's house can be a Bath and Body Works store. Seriously. My mom, sister and I get the stuff every Christmas and every birthday from our relatives, as well as from my dad for holidays such as Valentine's Day. So let's say that's seven products a year. Multiply that by three girls...we get 21 new BBW products each year. Oh. My. God. Don't get me wrong, I love their lotion and all their scents, and I appreciate it so much that my family buys me gifts. I keep telling them they don't have to give me anything.

But...

The stuff has started to add up. It's getting to the point where when I get a new bottle of lotion from Uncle Tom, I literally start freaking out and squeeze out palms full of lotion out of the bottle I've been using sporadically for three years, just so I can open the new one. Seriously, it's getting bad.

I didn't know where it goes because I'm in college all the time, but I knew it had to be stashed away somewhere...my mom and sister really couldn't have used it all up.

So here is my adventure of going through my parents house when everyone is at work and really finding out how much smelly bath stuff we really have.

My sister's room is first. It's kind of a scary place, as you can see. For an 18-year-old, she sure can't pick up her shit. She has this box of dried rose petals, and I found a family of little worms in it once. Serious. Anyway, after savaging around this is what I found:

The licorice stuff is from middle school, I'm pretty sure. The rest of the stuff is barely used. Trust me guys, it gets worse.
Product count: 6

This is what I found in my sister's bathroom (because apparently, that's what happens when your older sister moves off to college...you suddenly get to take over the biggest bathroom in the house). There are six, count them, SIX Japanese Flower Blossom lotions. What. The. Heck. There's a spray that has Bath & Body Works old label on it, which scares me...we're talking elementary school here.

Product count: 18

My mom keeps this on her sink to give the illusion like she's used all her fifty-million bottles of lotion up. LIES. I found a billion more under the sink, along with a wine bottle she didn't hide very well.

Product count: 23

Here we go. More of that licorice stuff from who knows how many years ago, more old Bath and Body Works labels. This brings our grand total to: 35.


35. We have 35 bottles of Bath and Body Works stuff in our house. This is insane. Please, stop the madness Bath and Body Works. Stop coming to my house.

And now, I challenge you: if anybody can beat this number, if anybody has more B&BW stuff than this...well, I can't really give you anything. I'll bow down to you...virtually, of course. I'll come up with something. Seriously, let me know! Try to beat me!
