Bath & Body Works Is Launching Rewards (!) & Your Candle Obsession Will Finally Pay Off


If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, STYLECASTER may receive an affiliate commission.

We love rewards programs. Whether it’s Sephora, Ulta Beauty, CVS or just Uber and Starbucks, we love to get points for purchases. There’s something so satisfying about turning in your points and getting a freebie — without thinking about how much you spent to get there. Now, we’ll be able to do the same with Bath & Body Works’ reward program. The retailer is rolling it across the country, with more and more cities coming soon.

If you feel like you’ve seen My Bath & Body Works Rewards before, you probably have. The program isn’t new but it was previously only available in certain cities. Next month, Bath & Body Works is expanding its Rewards program nationwide so everyone can get in on the action. (Expect city rollouts about mid-August.) So, what do you get for your purchases? Let us break it down.

First, all new rewards members get $10 off a $30 purchase. That’s an easy win. Otherwise, you’ll earn points with every purchase. $1 is equal to one point. If you spend $100, you actually earn 1,000 points and redeem a free full-size product (up to $16.50) of your choice.

With your free rewards membership, you’ll also get access to exclusive events and products, as well as an annual birthday gift. You can download the Bath & Body Works app to get even more exclusive invites and to track your earnings. Or you can just go into stores and ask how close you are to a free gift. (I know that’s what a lot of us will do.) This is especially true because $100 is not that hard to spend at Bath & Body Works. That’s only four 3-wick candles or a mix of candles and body products.

Need some shopping inspo? We’ve got you covered with the brand’s Halloween drop, summer candles, tropical vacation vibes and ‘gender-neutral’ line.

This Anti-Aging Moisturizer Might Be Why Victoria Beckham’s Skin Always Looks So Good

Victoria Beckham has been influencing beauty, fashion, and pop culture from her Spice Girls days all the way up to now. We look to her when we want to know which lip color to choose, but besides her signature makeup, she has a flawless complexion, too. Beckham is skin goals, and I think we’d all love to know the secret weapon that gives her that youthful glow.

In an interview with Byrdie, she unveiled some of her beauty mainstays, and one hero product that stood out to us is a super soothing moisturizing cream.

“For night, if I am feeling super dry, I use Augustinus Bader’s The Rich Cream,“ she said. This celeb-favorite anti-aging moisturizer that Jennifer Aniston, Gigi Hadid, and Kim Kardashian are all fans of, so it’s no surprise that Beckham also keeps this staple in her rotation. 

This plumping moisturizer uses the power of omega fatty acids and hyaluronic acid to moisturize and put life back into dull skin. The formula is packed to the brim with all sorts of skin saviors, which makes sense given that it’s crafted by one of the world’s most renowned skincare experts.

The brain behind the brand, Professor Augustinus Bader, is a globally recognized biomedical scientist and physician, and also a pioneer in stem cell research. So, while there’s a ton of scientific jargon involved with The Rich Cream, let us explain how it has become such a hit with Beckham and loads of other celebs.

The brand’s patented TFC8 technology remains at the heart of what makes this cream so effective. It triggers the stem cells you already have to repair and renew your skin. This complex engages natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins, and synthesized molecules to help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a more youthful and radiant complexion. 

Combatting visible signs of aging is definitely at the top of this cream’s agenda, but moisturizing is right there with it. The formula enlists hyaluronic acid to plump your skin and help it retain moisture better. Meanwhile, omega fatty acids, linoleic acid, and evening primrose oil also moisturize and soothe your skin. The product is vegan, gluten-free, and GMO-free, as well. 

If you want to really get the full Beckham skincare experience, she also revealed to Byrdie that her own products, the Cell Rejuvenating Power Serum and the Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturizer, have completely transformed her skin.

It’s easy to see how this line-reducing, skin-softening cream rose to fame among practically everyone in Hollywood. Take a page from Beckham and incorporate the one-of-a-kind anti-aging Rich Cream into your skincare routine, too.

How to Unpack Your Emotional Baggage After 60

emotional baggage

When was the last time you looked at the contents stored in your emotional baggage?

Although the term ‘emotional baggage’ is quite recognizable, the process of opening the metaphorical suitcase where your limiting beliefs are stuffed into is not something a lot of people want to do.

For women over 60, this can seem like a task better suited to an earlier part of your life. In fact, you may have spent time at different stages of life unpacking and letting go of contents in your emotional baggage.

If you have engaged in this practice, it is natural to feel the contents you removed, along with the emotions that were healed, were enough.

But what about now? How do you know if there is anything left to unpack from your emotional baggage?

I will answer that question and more in this article.

This is the first of a four-part series on how to release the burden of your emotional baggage after 60.

Reading the Signs

If you have found yourself recently struggling with a life crisis, that is a sign contents in your emotional baggage are ready to be looked at and removed.

Perhaps you are not facing a life crisis but have found people in your life unsupportive of the things you want to do and experience. Or maybe you have a lot of support from people, but don’t believe it is possible to have what you desire after 60.

Both are signs it is time to flip the locks on your emotional baggage and start unpacking.

Another telling sign contents in your emotional baggage are ready to be released is if you are facing reoccurring emotional difficulties with finances, relationships, and feeling distraught and overwhelmed with the state of the world.

Of all the potential signs, there is one that is more important than any other.

Something New and Better Is on the Way

Signs that it is time for you to unpack your emotional baggage does not mean you have done something wrong. Nor is it a reflection that your life is not working out the way you want, and you’re stuck with what you have.

When you are guided to unpack your emotional baggage, it is a sign you are doing something right. Your requests and prayers for something better have been heard and received.

Therefore, the most important sign that it is time to unpack your emotional baggage is that something new and better is ready to emerge in your life and you are being called on to make room for it.

So, what exactly are these contents you want to review and release?

Frozen in Time

Emotional baggage is an accumulation of experiences, beliefs, emotions, and memories that have become frozen in time. Most of them are intertwined with limiting beliefs and unhealed emotional wounds.

The reason I say they are ‘frozen in time’ is that the contents are attached to the past. Specifically past events, people, and experiences, many of which were unpleasant.

Some contents in your emotional baggage are attached to wonderful experiences. What makes these ideal candidates to let go of is they are wrapped in limiting beliefs.

For example, if you are fixated on something wonderful in the past, you can find yourself longing for a time in your life that is over. What this longing does is it detaches you from the present moment, and disconnects you from your true, authentic self.

There is a myriad of limiting beliefs that can create this. Examples range from the myth of aging and the myth of physical beauty to the myth of scarcity, each of which I have covered extensively in previous articles and videos.

This eclectic mix of contents from the past combines all elements’ energy to create various levels of present-day fear, anger, anxiety, unworthiness, resentment, despair, and guilt. This is why the sooner you unpack what needs to be released, the easier and more harmonious your life will become.

Now, let’s flip the lid on the emotional baggage and see what is inside.

What You Will See Inside

One of the first things you will see when you look inside your emotional baggage is that a lot of the contents don’t belong to you. They are made up of ideas, beliefs, myths, and rules that were imprinted on you at earlier stages of your life.

While a lot of this baggage stems from outside conditioning, most of which you didn’t ask for, you must own it as yours in order to let it all go.

To put this into perspective, consider a famous quote from Albert Schweitzer, who once said, “If you own something you cannot give away, then you don’t own it, it owns you.”

Whether or not you asked for the contents of your emotional baggage, taking ownership and responsibility for their presence is necessary if you are going to drive through life after 60 on your terms.

In the companion video for this article, I share additional insights on this timely topic and guide you through six empowering journal prompts.

Do you have emotional baggage you haven’t let go of? Do you know how to let go of it or is there something stopping you to live your life fully? Have you tried actively looking for your emotional baggage?
