I want to buy my friend a gift bag from there but I'm not sure which one to get her. Here are the scents it comes in:
Velvet Tuberose
Japanese Cherry Blossom
Wild Honeysuckle
Sensual Amber
And if you could tell me what the first three smell like, I would appreciate it because I've never smelled those, but I do have sensual amber which is okay, but gives me a headache.
Which Bath %26amp; Body Works scent is the best?
Japanese Cherry Blossom is very old-ladyish
Honeysuckle is almost too sweet
I personally like Sensual Amber better than Velvet Tuberose, but both are pretty good
Reply:love spell is the best
Reply:what i love and my sister gets it, its called "Breathe Romance" it smells so good.
Ask one of employees there and they'll find it for you. i can't really explain what it smells like. but, if you ever get the chance to smell it, it smells awesome!
Reply:wild honeysuckle
Reply:apricot is good and melon
Reply:Oh man, this is so my forte. Where to start?
Coconut Lime Verbena, Cucumber Melon, Country Apple, Mandarin Grapefruit, Cotton Blossom and Sweet Pea are all good summer and spring scents
Winter Candy Apple, Warm Vanilla Brown Sugar, Brown Sugar Fig, Moonlight Path and Midnight Pomegranate are all fantastic for fall and winter.
Reply:i like cotton blossm the best. fresh and clean smell
Reply:Wild Honeysuckle--it smells great!

I have 100 feet of block wall I want to landscape and a 3 foot planter.?
I have some Cape Honeysuckle, a few Palm Trees, some garlic plants and daylilies. Any good ideas on how to arrange these and what other TROPICAL plants might be nice???
I have 100 feet of block wall I want to landscape and a 3 foot planter.?
IF you have all day sun shine or at least six hours of sun, you can do the following
(if this wall is in the shade, you have to plant only those flowers and shrubs that grow in shade).
Hibiscus are beautiful shrubs and come in many different colored flowers. This would be very pretty in front of your wall.
The honeysuckle can be trained to grow on top of your wall. But if you have a neighbor on the other side, you might want to talk to them to see if they want it on their side as it will automatically grow on their side too.
The daylilies can grow in front of the honeysuckle. After they bloom and the leaves start drying up, cut them to the ground. Go to a nursery/garden center and buy bright colored annuals to plant among the cut-off daylilies. This will take you through the summer months. Annuals need to be replaced each year. They are good for instant color or late in the season color.
You could also plant evergreen shrubs in front of the wall instead of the honeysuckle. Check with a nursery as to what shrubs are evergreen in your area.
Just about anything can be grown in your container. In the winter you will need to move it into a covered area or cover it with an all weather tarp if you have freezes in your area. You don't want the roots to freeze if you have planted a perennial (keeps coming back each year plants).
Before you plant, dig into the soil some slow-release fertilizer such as Osmocote. Read the directions as to how much. Water well. Plant your flowers whenever you wish. Water well.
If you have cold winters, it is too late to do any of this for now. Send for a free catelog of flowers to see what is out on the market now. Here are a couple of websites:

Planning my garden for next year. Some help please?
I live in PA. When %26amp; how do you plant blackberry bushes. Can you buy potted ones to bring home %26amp; plant or is it better to plant seeds? I would also like to plant a honeysuckle vine to grow along my bushes. I bought one at a nursery a few years ago but it never took. Any advice?
Planning my garden for next year. Some help please?
I planted some blackberries this spring. You need to get plants of a variety (mine are 'Brazos') suited for your area. Call your extension agent or check with the nursery. I planted mine in a narrow bed along a fence. I am training them into the fence.
They grow at a moderate rate, and do not need alot of fertilizer. Mulch well around them, mine have serious thorns, and you would not want to try to weed around them. The thornless varieties were not recommended for my area.
They flower and fruit the second year on canes (stems) grown the first year.
I have grown honeysuckles in the past, with no special care. You must have gotten a bad plant, or mother nature threw you a curve. Try again.
Reply:black berry bushes are tempermental i sugest starting from seed if u do buy a pre grown you have to cut it back a lot and lots of water to make suer it lives you should use pre grown hunny suckle bet leave it in the pot and once it starts grow ing plant it in your garden
Reply:Buy them in the pots or as bare root. It will take years to get fruit-producing vines otherwise. And look for the thornless varieties instead of the ones with the awful stickers all over them. This will make for a much more pleasant experience when you pick the fruit.
And they are NOT tempermental, in fact the main problem you'll have with them is the fact that they'll spread everywhere.

If Death Is Kind
Perhaps if Death is kind, and there can be returning,
We will come back to earth some fragrant night,
And take these lanes to find the sea, and bending
Breathe the same honeysuckle, low and white.
We will come down at night to these resounding beaches
And the long gentle thunder of the sea,
Here for a single hour in the wide starlight
We shall be happy, for the dead are free.

Hey DFA,
Your additional comments and autumns reminds me of Cid Corman's poetry. Did you ever have a chance to check Cid's work out?
PS
I read selection of Cid's work back in an old issue of Poetry East where they also gave an extended (several pages) bio of Corman. What an amazing dude. He went to Europe, fell in love with Celan's work and asked Celan if he could translate it. Celan said no, and then he translated it anyway. He eventually moved to Japan where he lived the rest of his life. He owned a "Cafe Americana' sort of place. Studied haiku and wrote the bulk of his work in "short" form. I lament the fact that I never made to Japan in time to drop in on Corman and tug on his brain a bit.

My nephue has a serious problem that needs help.This is no Joke.?
This morning nephue was useing the bathroom and I hered him screaming.I ran to see the problem.He said his pee feels like fire.He looked so upset he asked me if his penis is going to fall off?I asked him why.And he started to cry.He showed me his penis and it was like somthing out of a STD medical book.I was toatly shocked he is only 12.I asked him who he had sex with.He said no one.But he fianlly did admit to masterbating with shampoo.It was Suave Honeysuckle.His penis was brite red and there was skin peeling off of it.It seriously looked like someone with a STD.This is no Joke can someone please help or should I take him to the hospital.I told my sister his mother and she told him to put lotin on it and he will be ok in a few days.

Ok I have seen this before, the shampoo dried out his penis, and the stroaking motion, probably under hard water didn't help. Wrap the penis in gauze, with some antibiotic ointment, and have him sleep in the nude for a couple of days.
Reply:Yes a professional MD. Report It
Reply:He's allergic to the shampoo and he needs to see a doctor.
Reply:I would say he is having an allergice reaction. He may also have an UTI. If I were you I would take him to the hosptial or your family doctor, this way you can find out offically know what happened, how to treat it %26amp; pervent it.
Reply:if shampoo got in his pee hole it will burn.
He may need to go see a urologist or drink lots of water to clear out what's inside.
Dang,bet he learned his lesson :(
Reply:It's a reaction to the shampoo. It should go away in a few days.
NO MORE SHAMPOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't rush to the doctor. Give him some Benadryl 25mg 2-3 times daily and give him some cortizone cream to apply as directed.
Reply:I find this hard to believe, more like a hoax, but sounds like an allergic reaction, not normal. I'd take him to urgent care for a check-up just to be safe. Of course, they won't treat him without Mom's OK. Mom knows all about medicine and penises, does she? You might have to drag her along kicking and screaming, but for your nephew's sake, I'd get him checked out by someone who knows what they're talking about.
Reply:He needs to wash it well in water, and then use a diaper rash medication or just plain vaseline, definitely no lotion unless it is a nonallergenic one designed for skin repair. Sit him down and explain that there is no reason to use lubercation when masterbating, and that stuff like shampoo will damage the skin.
Reply:Gosh damit! He is so ughh!! That must be so emberrasing I'm 11 and nowhere near that stupid!!
Reply:i would concider him getting looked at by a dr. as soon as possible. it could be something more than just hte masterbating with shampoo causing a reaction like that. he might have actually hurt himself.
Reply:My best friend did this years ago. I think it was Agree Shampoo. (Green) "He did not clean himself off". I think this would happen if you placed most shampoo in your hair and around your ears and didn't wash it off. As a chemical reaction due to being in open air in a sensative skin area. From hearing what he said, it became dry and the top layer of skin died and came off like a sun burn. Nothing was said about things turning red. A doctor visit maybe, and or a good sex/body talk would be a good idea. The more information provided about his body shouldn't leave him wondering why...
(Thumbs down? get your mind out of the gutter)edited
Reply:yea maybe a doctor should check it out
Reply:i would see a doctor.
Reply:take him to the doctors, i think he has a skin allergy to theat type of shampoo
Reply:Wow! geez i hope this isn't a joke. i'd say see a doc soon!! he'll prob say to leave it the hell alone for a bit, i think a cream or ointment would hurt more than help at this point. i'm no doctor but thats my advice..
Reply:omg
THAT SUCKS
HOPE HE FEELS BETER
Reply:Take him to the doctor. It was most likely an alergic infection to the shampoo which was used on sensitive skin.

Do you think llamas would like to wear pajamas?
and eat honeysuckle?
okay..that's my last one! lol My brain is fried as you can see! But thanks for your topics everyone! For those who were wondering about my questions, I had people give me topics and I came up with questions around their topics. lol I had fun doing it!
Do you think llamas would like to wear pajamas?
They certainly would.Princess^^.
All this talk about honeysuckle just reminded me of one of my favorite songs. It is like from the 1920's. Maybe we can sing it together...okay ..a one a..a two ..a three..hit it:
Verse: Have no use for other sweets of any kind,
Since the day you came around.
From the start I instantly made up my mind,
Sweeter sweetness can't be found.
You're so sweet, can't be beat,
Nothin' sweeter ever stood on feet.
Chorus: Ev'ry honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me,
I don't blame them, goodness knows, honeysuckle rose
When you're passing by, flowers droop and sigh,
And I know the reason why,
You're much sweeter, goodness knows, honeysuckle rose.
Don't buy sugar, you just have to touch my cup'
You're my sugar, it's sweet when you stir it up.
When I'm takin' sips from your tasty lips,
Seems the honey fairly drips,
You're confection, goodness knows, honeysuckle rose.
Sleep well Princess^^

What does this poem mean to you ?
We will come back to earth some fragrant night,
And take these lanes to find the sea, and bending
Breathe the same honeysuckle, low and white.
We will come down at night to these resounding beaches
And the long gentle thunder of the sea,
Here, together for a single hour in the wide starlight
We shall be happy, for the dead are free.
What does this poem mean to you ?
I love it. What is it?
Reply:It seems to me a Romeo and Juliet situation. Sounds as if they palan on both committing suicide. For reasons ???
Very beautiful poem
Reply:It's not a bad poem and states a very Romantic (meaning like the Romantic of the 18th century like Shelley and Byron), who loved to talk about nature and death and immortal life.
But what are these lanes? And why are they bending over the sea to smell honeysuckle? Why is thunder gentle?
I have smelled honeysuckle--it is noticeable but I wouldn't use it as something rapturous (lavender or lilac would be better).
Why the single hour? There is no time in eternity, so it contradicts the Romantic premise of everlasting life in bliss where our crude bodies shall not hamper us.
Reply:I like it, what is it from. As far as meaning I guess it talks about the time in between reincarnations where the soul is not trapped in a body and can be free.
Reply:I believe you can find the sea and not be in it.
Reply:i like it but i can't find only one meaning of this poem. its loving, and it talkes abou other dimantins. and i love it. good work
Reply:Before I saw your details, I thought it sounded like something from the past. The metaphors are lovely. %26amp; we can interpret it any way we wish.
Reply:I think its very romantic. It reminds us that actually our most poignant memories and happiest times are often due to the simple things of life - the beauty of nature, the scent of a flower, the awe-inspiring power of the ocean, good company and friendship... During our lives we are often so busy running around trying to get everything done, wanting to have the latest gadget or accessory, trying to be popular or successful or rich that we forget that actually those things often can't make us feel as happy or as peaceful as just stopping still to appreciate the amazing natural beauty of our world with nowhere to go or nothing to do.
