Take a second to think about your favorite memory. Did the one that you thought of first involve scent? The one that just popped into my head was actually from this past weekend at The Makeup Show. A friend and I were walking around and smelled the most amazing fragrance. We were drawn to that particular booth because of the scent. I bought a brush from the booth I never would have noticed otherwise because of the scent.
Scents can draw you in, transport you, make you happy, comfort you… it really all depends on what memory is tied to that particular scent. This month, Walgreens wants you to “be your own beautiful” and think about what scents are tied to your favorite memories. Indulge yourself by exploring for and experiencing some of the skincare brands and products available at their store where a ton of the products have extra special offers just waiting for you to take advantage of them!
A few of my favorites are below:
The Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Soothe Lotion. I buy a big bottle of this one because my husband and son love it too. My husband in particular can really go through a lotion because his hands get very dry and this one is clinically proven to moisturize deeply to soothe dry skin with the first application and keep the skin healed for up to three weeks (proven after 4 weeks daily use in a clinical study). I love this one not only for the moisturizing benefits but because it absorbs quickly and isn’t greasy feeling. The scent is fresh and makes me think of Summer because I’m constantly applying aloe then!

It’s not easy to find a fruity scrub that’s not only oil-free but also free of parabens, sulfates and is also Hypoallergenic, Dermatologist tested and contains 100% Natural Exfoliants. St. Ives Apricot Scrub is all of those things and the scent totally makes me think of when I was younger and hanging out at my Aunt’s house. She always had a scent like this around!

I’ve spoken before about how much I love the scent of Caress® Mystique Forever™ Body Wash. It contains Fragrance Touch Technology so that you can catch a whiff of the scent for up to 12-hours. Perfect for reminiscing all day long!!
Walgreens Special Offer. 5/15 Offer – $2.99 on select 12oz body washes. 5/15 See additional savings in most Sunday papers. Shop here.
Since the 90’s I’ve had a major thing for the scent of cucumber so the Suave Cucumber Agave Smash is a top pick Summer body wash for me when I’m feeling beachy, going pool-side or wanting to remember all of the awesome vacations I’ve had throughout the years. The scent is lively and crisp with a formula infused with cucumber fruit extract and skin conditioning Vitamin E.

I have so many favorite scents that take me back some where…the smell of a new leather horse saddle to the calming smell of tanning lotions and coconut! Also I will never forget while I was pregnant I always wanted to smell new magazines and books lol!
Sarah says

So weird, because I was just thinking about this scrub my mom used to us – – it was an apricot one. I can’t remember who it was by, but for some reason I thought about how she always had it on hand and I would often use it myself to try to be like her when I was growing up. I should try to find it, I can already smell it thinking about it and it reminds me of her!

Victoria’s Secret had one called Love Spell that I used to wear in High School and when I started college. They don’t make it anymore but it was the biz-nass. Everyoneeeee wore it lol

Such a hard question. Most of the scents that remind me of childhood are food. (what does that tell you about me?). I love anything that smells clean and crisp.

Doria says
Olfactory memories are so bizarre and cool! I think I probably have a scent memory for almost all of the most important people in my life 🙂 And that cucumber agave smash body wash is calling my name!
Bekah Walsh says
I’m cracking up at your “since the 90’s” comment; makes me think of how popular B&B works cucumber melon was! Pearberry brings back (also 90’s) memories for me!
Brooke says
Cucumber Melon FTW! That was the BEST!
