Sweet pea is such a sentimental scent to me. When I was 12, I sprayed my crush with it to bother him and to get him to smell like a girl and now that we’ve reconnected as adults and are together again it’s just sweet to look back on.

[@2tears35]

Omg I LUV This Story😊

[@simplythebestgirl]

Cute! 🩷

[@verucasalt4535]

That's adorable!

[@user-io6xo7ne1r]

What a sweet story!

[@Foreignfee]

Lol too cute, does he remember the scent?

[@zinaallen9856]

I hope they bring back coconut cream pie and white coconut caramel in a full size.

[@johnlovesbridge]

I love Among The Clouds. Once you accept it smells nothing like the listed notes, it grows on you.

[@danakennedy640]

The packing is so pretty I’m trying so hard to like it, I just stuck with the hand cream, 😂

[@mikohai]

I love it a lot! My skin tends to bring out those warm base notes and it's wonderful.

[@deannedershem9222]

Fall in Bloom was one of my favorite fall scents.

[@FitPasson]

Gingham gorgeous smells very similar just more brighter spring version.. Especially in the perfume .

[@deannedershem9222]

@Nicole Wiles I bought the Gingham Girgous too.

[@michaelamarshalll]

Bonnie!! Your videos have become part of my nightly routine. I shower and then watch your videos while I do my skincare and bath and body routine. You have the sweetest personality and I really love hearing your thoughts on products. Your videos make me feel like I’m hanging out with a friend every night. :) Also, have you watched any videos by Key to Disney? She makes some great bath and body works content too!

[@suzannegalvin7342]

Yass! She is part of my daily routine now too but in the morning she goes with me on my 30 minute walk. Thank you Bonnie for keeping me company 😁❤

[@IamERIKA111]

Another smashing hit! Love the way you do things.

[@dahliabolt2697]

So excited … this video will help me form my semi annual sale list ❤❤❤❤ love ya Bonnie

[@danakennedy640]

What a fun video!! You hit the nail on everything. I laughed alot, smells like dryer sheets, confused scents.😂😂😂 My top best this season is ICE Lemon pound cake!!!! I now have 2 body cream, shower gel and one mist. Still want MORE 😂😂. I even apply cream and spray and hope into bed OMG I been having the best sleep EVER!! Thanks for that idea😂❤

[@QueenoftheGirlGeeks]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@mirandam6083]

Hey, Bonnie! I’m going to have to agree on Bahamas passion fruit & banana flower. I’d be okay with that going away. I think it smells exactly like hairspray.

[@255arc]

Bonnie, you are so cute playing with the shapeable soap...😂😂😂

[@marie-sophie4]

My best award of 2023 so far is iced lemon pound cake I totally fell in love with that lovely gourmand scent ! I am so excited for the summer and SAS coming up ! 😎🌺🌸🌼

[@kaymuldoon3575]

Bright Lemon Snowdrop 🍋💛 I also love the Golden Mango Lagoon. 😊

[@2tears35]

I'd rather them bring back Cactus Blossom for spring,but I do luv Magnolia Charm as well. Bonnie girl I Hollered when you said you don't care if it fell on the floor omg I'm weak lol. Best Candle packaging for 2023 is Blue Bungalow and the rest of tht collection.

[@s.r6331]

Catus blossom is a regular. I dont see why they would take it away.

[@2tears35]

@@s.r6331 😭😭Well it's a regular in wallflowers and candles but the bodycare hasn't come back since a year or 2 😭😭

[@czechmatey]

11:54 I LOVE Sun Blooms & Suede but I high key almost did not get it because of the packaging. But I went for it and it really surprised me. The label doesn't do the fragrance justice.

[@FitPasson]

Sun blooms, fall in blooms, gingham gorgeous are basically all first cousins . Sun blooms notes I don’t get that lol but the mix makes it smell like a perfume.

[@czechmatey]

@@FitPasson I haven't smelled any of these yet but I love this analogy. lol I was thinking about getting the Gingham Gorgeous body scrub but just decided to wait. I've heard good things about Fall in Bloom.

[@deborahzukoski9000]

I am done with Bahamas, Passionfruit, and Banana flower as well!

[@kristennelson3190]

Is it Bright Lemon Snowdrop?? That's funny you say that about fall - I just randomly sprayed Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte today! I was VERY surprised by how much I liked Indigo Dreams - and am glad I got 2 mists.

[@sarahannsmith3129]

Love my Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte!

[@JamieABurke]

I got the lemon poundcake at the $5.95 sale and it really is delicious, so glad I listened to you. Also loving gingham gorgeous, it smells like a perfumy strawberry! Nice video Bonnie!

[@Cat_Lien]

Loved this!! So much fun!! 👍🏻😃💕💞

[@Fragrancetherapy1416]

Thanks for sharing! This is my first awards video of yours I’ve seen and I really enjoyed it! So far this year I was very impressed with tropical and Mother’s Day! Those were the two collections I went big on!

[@Nicole_0421]

This is such a great video; I love a good Bonnie awards show! I agree with a fair amount of your picks. Thank you for putting this fun video together for us. ☺️

[@sandermendes7799]

I'm hoping Sea Salt and Lavender will make a repeat this summer, but I'm not holding my breathe. Hi Bonnie, thanks for the vid and HAPPY Friday! BRIGHT LEMON SNOWDROP 😅 / I don't like the Iced Lemon Pound Cake that much ( at least in the hand soap - Canadian here ) a little too much butter for me. BBW'S bring us back Land of Sweets please...

[@ChevyLadyMakeupZ72]

This is going to be fun I kind of want to do an award ceremony video too. Girl you outdone yourself even made a list for us love that. I promise to credit you.

I really want that the black chamomile from the aromatherapy comes back, I loved it and I finished all my products

[@manifestwthedomesticgoddess]

They need to bring back the sensual aromatherapy black current and vanilla. It was literally one of the best smells my nose has experienced in 34 years!

[@alexandriavr6665]

I have back ups of indigo dreams, it's my favorite of all time 🤣

[@Deb_C]

Thanks Bonnie for a fun video!😀

[@tiarapurcell2021]

I'm new to your channel but I have to say you a breath of sunshine! I wish everyone had your bright fun personality, I love your channel and I bought a bunch of mini's on Tuesday because of your recommendations, lo! I watch you now everyday because you are so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This video was a hoot, thanks for bringing joy to this world!

[@crafting_after_midnight4154]

Hi Bonnie! I agree 2023 at BBW is a weird one so far. So far generally I'm just not feeling it to be honest in comparison to previous years. Go figure now that I'm starting to build up my fragrance mist collection again this year. I'm waiting for Fall/Halloween and Christmas/Winter. I have been revisiting older scents though like Beautiful Day and Sweet Pea. The faceted here in Canada are $17.50 and the diamond shimmer mists are $20.50 I never buy anything full price. I used a lot of coupons or wait for sales. Even with the sales I'm picky as the tax is higher here so sometimes even the sales are not even worth it here. Due to the higher taxes I make sure I pick up items I will absolutely love. I don't purchase for the sake of purchasing. For example not feeling the new mists like Emerald Mist etc. so I'm skipping these. I'm waiting until SAS. I have made a list on what to pick up in months to come with fragrances I missed out or would like to purchase again as a couple the ones I already have in my collection are getting on.

[@2tears35]

😊Yes to Best bar soap being pink pineapple sunrise n best packaging being gingham and also Among The clouds. Watermelon Mojito is best new tropical for me n lemon poundcake is most exciting new scent! Best candle holder are the ombre ones. 😢😢Nooo I LUV sweet petal poundcake😅. Omg yes tht packaging for sun blooms n stuff was TERRIBLE.

[@juliemudd2985]

Yes that packaging was hideous! I love neutrals but it didn’t work for me lol

[@2tears35]

@@juliemudd2985 😂🤣😅😆

[@CaseyJolliffe12]

Bonnie, do you have Vanilla Mocha Martini? I love that scent. I bought that in store a few weeks ago. I also recently ordered Emerald Mist and Amethyst Waves. I can't wait to try them

[@scentpreux8481]

I watched your video last night about the $5.95 sale of the Gingham collection and I ordered immediately. Thank you so much, Bonnie!!!! If it wasn’t for you, I would have missed the sale!!

[@angelageikowski8849]

2003 award ceremony hehe tfs I love these!

Scent you were talking about was bright lemon snowdrop love your videos so much they make me so happy

[@jenniferyandSky]

Yes that's it!😊

[@QueenoftheGirlGeeks]

LOL Yes! Thank you so much!

[@TheRedDivaTv]

Love Coco Paradise, I agree that the bottle could have been much better executed. Iced Lemon Poundcake should have been in stores not online exclusive! The neutrals were soooo generic packaging, and my favorite was all the tropicals! *finally got my pineapple candle holder! Yayyy!! 🍍❤️

[@Dani-ICU-RN]

The Halloween floating eye candle holder rocked

[@memetoob4404]

Bahamas passion fruit & banana flower is love .It smells like creamy sweet scent . Not even near to sour milk

[@lotion_laura]

Fun video live. 🙂

[@cindirella2347]

Like cloud nine but of course they took it out😢

[@sarastolichnaya]

Bright Lemon Snowdrop!

[@RobinSchrader-l3k]

Gingham Love is really nice

[@Dani-ICU-RN]

I have 3 really good ideas about these rewards they're giving us maybe they could listen to us because quite honestly I mean I don't want to get something just to get it if I don't want another body wash I'm not doing anybody any favors let me spend the 3 more dollars to get the spray. Or combine 2 rewards to get something bigger or just give us points and not rewards

[@joshmolly2751]

Love this Bonnie!!😊 Happy Good Friday!!💛💚

[@samanthassennett]

Hey Bonnie! I’m on a no buy until Fall season! 🍁🎃👻🍂 I’m not interested in anything at all rn. As long as I have my sweet carrot cake candle, sweet pea & at the beach they carry me till late August. I’m not pleased with the increased prices so will be saving for my fav season coming soon.

[@QueenoftheGirlGeeks]

I understand!

[@RobinSchrader-l3k]

You’re The One and Into The Night are both fantastic

Thank you so much 😊 glad to see you there! And yes!!! 🎃

[@hollybabyyy]

In four months itll be august

[@erinharris7663]

I'm one of the few people who likes indigo dreams. I just have not liked any of the scents since winter. I just love so many of the winter scents like snowflakes and cashmere and fireside flurries and bonfire bash. Waiting to find something I like equally as much as snowflakes and cashmere for an everyday scent.

[@juliemudd2985]

I love Snowflakes and Cashmere as well! I wore Fireside Flurries and Bonfire Bash today lol I just had a little of Fireside Flurries mist left so I mixed it in with Bonfire Bash. It was really cool here today 😂

[@laurenschwartz4580]

I had a thought about the trio beautiful day, pastel skies, and Fiji sunshine as you were pointing out how the Fiji is odd. I agree. Maybe they just needed another similar name. The scent is tropical but the names are all kind of all outdoor weather related.. sunshine, sky, beautiful day..

[@alisamitchell8826]

Thanks Bonnie For This Video

[@Dani-ICU-RN]

They need more citrus..orange nectarine, types . Saltwater breeze,water scents ..carried away,MALIBU.. no more vanilla, coxo nut,cinnamon

[@taylornation320]

Bonnie what did you think of the new body care? The amethyst and emerald something or other? I didn't care for any of them and I find it such a similar line to the ginghams, with the pear and berry notes in them. I find them to be the underwhelming version of the ginghams. Oh nevermind I just saw the end of the video and see you haven't tried them yet xD

[@janestaton]

The Christmas scent your thinking about is Bright Lemon Snowdrop🍋!

[@melissalucas3459]

I liked the pb&j ice cream candle but mine burned so sooty I exchanged my other one :( I got the newest drops today plus 10 more candles! My fave new candle scents this year so far are Pistachio & toasted vanilla and Radiant sky

[@Faithlovewax]

Rasberry jam donut and coconut cream pie in body care need to return.

[@leesasscentsyandmore3580]

I love Coconut scents…Fresh Coconut Cotton is so good and I like the smell of the new Coconut one Coco Paradise but it’s nothing like Copper Coconut Sands…why wouldn’t they bring that back!!??? Also years ago there was one that was just Coconut…that was the best…reminded me of Exotic Coconut. Great fun video!

[@hollybabyyy]

I recently bought cotton candy clouds and im very confused i smell nothing

[@jamiewalters3334]

Bahamas is in my top 3 scents! I think my nose is broken but I really like it. I tried Ice lemon pound cake for the first time today with the lotion and when I first put it on I liked it, but the dry down on me is mostly a buttery sugar scent and all the lemon is gone. The lotion reminds me of icing and I think it would smell good with golden mango lagoon or coconut pineapple. The only aromatherapy scent im interested in right now is Neroli & Bergamot. I havent worn it yet, but it smells good to me.

[@BarbaraC147]

Bahamas is my BBW favorite scent of all time. It has been for the last 5 years since I first tried BBW body mists.🙂. I just love it. But things do smell differently on different people. If it smelt like sour milk on me, as Bennie said, then I wouldn't like it either for sure. I have Iced Lemon Pound Cake, but in the candle. It's a great candle, but I have no idea what it's like in the mist

[@jamiewalters3334]

@@BarbaraC147 Every time I wear Bahamas now I ask myself if I can smell sour milk. Lol

[@lauraholland8737]

Ive still got an iced lemon pound cake spray. I love it but my fave candle is pineapple sunrise surprise. Got them for 6$ ( 3 wick) someone returned them!

[@MrA4R8TT]

Happy Friday night Bonnie ! Love the best & worst Awards! 🏆Spot on with worst packaging. Best new scent has to be Coco Paradise for me even though it's possibly a repackage & Gingham Gorgeous.

[@bootsnmascara9038]

I agree 100%, Bahamas Passionfruit and Banana Flower, I feel has seen its day. But that day is not today. Maybe if they give it a break for a few years, I would be intrigued by it again

[@arili7126]

My hottest redesign is Pink Pineapple Sunrise. I LOVE the packaging! I’m not even someone who buys for packaging, but I had to get that one. The runner up is Saltwater Breeze, it’s so pretty and much better than last year. Unfortunately I don’t love that scent on me, but I’m thinking of getting it for a room spray because I love the scent in the air.

[@suzanslifestyle]

Such a great list so much fun to watch what you were thinking about the products ❤ I totally loved bakery Collection lemon pound cake my favorite too . Gingham collection great packaging but scents too light for me .

[@deanadailey7197]

Absolutely agree with about 90-95% of your picks! Had to return a Bahamas passionfruit ffm and I never return things. It was good on the testing strip but horrid on me. A pumpkin peanut brittle 3 wick sets out year round here, just for a quick whiff whenever!

[@lisanoele7996]

Bonnie it's Bright Lemon Snowdrop! 😂 The Indigo Dreams 1- wick smells like orange something to me. Also, the Sweet Apple is Honeycrisp Apple! I'm finally getting the spray and shower gel of Iced Lemon in my next shipment! Can't wait!! I did get all of the neutrals in store with rewards, but I haven't smelled them yet lol.
