OMFG Carol's Daughter Almond Cookie

This weekend I went hunting for a body scrub. I usually make my own with sugar and some oils, but it was my birthday. I wanted to indulge myself without the labor of mixing up a scrub. (Not that it's all that intense or anything.) After going to Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works and being disappointed by the overly perfumed scrubs they had to offer, I stopped by the Carol's Daughter counter in Macy's. I love their counters because you can try everything before you buy it. It's like Sephora, but better. I literally smelled everything and fell in love with Almond Cookie. Now, I remember Mary J. Blige saying on Oprah (forever ago) that Almond Cookie was her favorite scent and what made her invest in the brand. I don't know why I never tried it. I proceeded to slather the oil on my hands. I couldn't reach my arms because I had a coat on. So, I'm stumbling around looking for a tissue. It was super rich but not thick and sticky. You know what I mean. It was so yummy! I wanted to get everything in the Almond Cookie collection: the scrub, the oil, the candle, cleansing gel, the soap — just everything Almond Cookie. But, wouldn't you know they were sold out of everything except the Eau de Toilette. You know I felt like such a crack-head when I contemplated asking to buy the full size public samples. I mean they were practically full and just sitting there. Don't judge me, I said contemplated I didn't actually follow through. I was barely out of the door opening the box, racing to my car and then practically drenching myself and car seats with it.

Do you remember a few months ago when I told you I was spraying that Black Vanilla leave in like a fiend? Well, it is like ten times worse with Almond Cookie. I have only had it since Friday and I've used nearly 1/3 of the bottle. It's bad! I spray it everywhere in my house, my car and on me. Today Carol's Daughter website is offering free shipping until midnight tonight, but even they are sold out of half of the things I really really want. I know it's sad. I guess if you love this stuff you really need to stock up when they have it. OMG I want the oil though — badly. I've been rationing my Black Vanilla Leave In lately because they are always sold out and I was just spraying it too much. I signed up for the e-mail alerts so I can know when the Almond Cookie all is back in stock. I don't think I can wait. I think the things that I love the most about Carol's Daughter is first, you gotta love Lisa Price (the founder) how she became filthy rich is just inspiring and next is the scents and then her oils. I really love her oil blends.

I wish they would make fragrance oils for the home in Black Vanilla and Almond Cookie. I'm obsessed with those oil warmers from Bath & Body — AMAZING!
