Bath & Body Works Has An Online-Only Candle Section That Will Blow Your Mind

While part of the fun of shopping for candles is going into the store and smelling them all, this year has been next to impossible in that front. Even if you are in-store shopping, it’s pretty hard to get a good sniff while wearing a mask. Luckily, not only are some of the best Bath & Body Works candles online, but they’re online exclusives so you have a great reason to shop from your couch. And there are enough details of each fragrance online, so you can get a good idea of what you know you’ll love.

You might have not known about these online exclusives. They’re not super easy to find on the Bath & Body Works website. They are too good to pass up, though. Some candles even feature our favorite scents, such as Pistachio Ice Cream and Coconut Sandalwood. There’s Bowties & Bourbon marketed for men but has a great musky smell for any gender. These are getting so popular, we have intel that four online exclusives are launching in May and they smell incredible.

Ready to press add to cart? We got you started with some of the best candles, below.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

’90s Supermodel Niki Taylor Is a CoverGirl Again & She Looks Exactly the Same

I might have only been a kid in the early 1990s but I still remember Niki Taylor becoming a CoverGirl—the first spokesmodel younger than 18 years old to sign a major contract with the brand. She went on to cover magazines such as Allure, Vogue, Elle and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, as well as fronted campaigns from Liz Claiborne, Jean Paul Gaultier, Versace and more. She was everywhere.

Even as a kid, I remember Taylor being one of everyone’s favorite models. I can picture my mom dressing just like her. Part of her appeal was her humanity and honesty. In 1995, her 17-year-old sister Krissy tragically died. Then in 2001, she was seriously injured in a car accident and had to undergo more than 50 surgeries and years of physical therapy. We watched Taylor go through these incredibly difficult struggles and come out on the other side. I’d say that’s pretty damn inspiring.

At 46 years old, she’s not slowing down. Taylor is officially a CoverGirl again as the new ambassador of the Simply Ageless Collection. She posted her new commercial to her Instagram with the caption, “Once a COVERGIRL, always a COVERGIRL! I’m excited to be back with my @covergirl family and to share the secret to healthy, youthful looking skin! I filmed this at home, in my backyard with the help of my hubby & friends – it was a blast!” She even shared a photo of her ’90s CoverGirl campaign.

While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with aging, it’s shocking how little Taylor has changed. She barely looks older than she did in her ’90s campaign. Hopefully during this partnership, we’ll get to learn even more about her beauty secrets. For now, you can shop her fave foundation.

Christina Haack Instagram Fashion

Here at BBH we get a lot of requests to cover TV personalities that we think have great style, but we just don’t have the time. And Chistina Haack’s outfits are the subject of some of those messages. Though we haven’t covered her since her last name was El Moussa, I’ve always thought her outfits are totally cute. So I took it as a sign when I took a screenshot of her jean jacket with black sleeves this weekend and sure enough, I came across the piece today before I even had a chance to look for it. Plus, with the super cute Style Stealers, some of you CH fans might just think this is a Monday miracle.

Let’s Shamelessly Explore the Art of Doing Nothing (VIDEO)

art of doing nothing

I am actively studying “the art of doing nothing.” It is an art. A wise friend said to me, “Do something, just sit there.” Do you know how hard it is, to do nothing? To just sit there? No reaction. No action. No thoughts. No plan. Just be. Just rest…?

It is a real art to study nothing. How does one start to study nothing? Well, the secret is you must start with something and let it grow to nothing.

It’s so counter-intuitive that I have to keep pinching myself to make sure it is real, and I am still awake and actively doing nothing. How does doing nothing work?

Do Not Jump Right In

A friend emails and says, “We need to drive home from Florida. How would you do that during Covid?” Prior to taking up my studies, my first action would have been to kick right into high gear, researching all the mandates and rules and regulations about travel. Now, with my newfound studies, I practice doing nothing. How?

I look at the question. I watch the “gear-kicking-in” thoughts float past my mind. I wait for them to leave. I have to will them to leave. Will them to pass. I actively let them go. I watch them leave my brain, my thoughts.

Then and only then I answer her text. “No clue, sure there is a lot of info on each state’s website.” And I resume, sitting and doing nothing.

Make No Underlying Assumptions

I would normally jump right in because of an underlying assumption that there is a reason she is asking me. Perhaps she thinks I am the right person to ask. I would know the answer because I worked in government, I understand policies, I keep up-to-date on the news.

I would believe she is asking me because I have insights into how laws are written and therefore it is only me who can answer this question. My main assumption is that the weight of her choice to drive home is mine to bear, and I must help her.

I must not only give a thorough answer, it must be factual and complete. I must think of every contingency and lay it out for her.

Now, in my study of doing nothing, my new underlying assumption is: Many people are qualified to answer the question, not just me.

No Second Guessing

I could be proud of myself that I followed my new path, but then the doubts start creeping in. I have one thought or one idea. If I just follow that one idea, then maybe that will help her. That will be what makes the difference.

I must actively stop that from happening though. Literally sit on my hands and let it pass.

Then I have one more thought, and perhaps I can check that out and send it to her, I know it would really help. But I have to remind myself that I did respond and give her an idea of what I would do to figure it out.

I let go of the guilt that I am not a good friend. That I did not do enough. I allow myself to be whole in that moment. I am whole, whether I assist or not. I do my best to stay calm and centered.

What’s Next?

Perhaps you feel overwhelmed of requests too. If so, you too can start to practice the art of doing nothing. Let go of what you would have done. Focus on your own mindfulness.

Follow me. I sit. I sip my tea. I watch the clouds pass by. I think about what a lovely drive she will have from Florida to Buffalo, New York. And then I let that thought go. Can you do nothing too?

Have you heard of the art of doing nothing? Would you actively consider starting on that path, at least some of the time? What consequences would this practice have on your peace of mind? Please share your thoughts below.
