Right now, Bath & Body Works is having their "Hello, Yellow" sale. I was awestruck walking into the store and seeing almost everything between 50 and 75% off!
Well, when I got home from the store, I was websurfing and found that the Divas posted a $10/$40 coupon for B&BW to make this sale even better!!!! This deal and coupon are both good online and in store, but I highly recommend taking the trip to the store as the online prices aren't nearly as good as they were in store.
You can see how much damage I did in the next post ;-)
