Bath and Body Works Wallflower Plug Ins Review: How to Use and How Long Do Wallflowers Last?
You're here because you want an honest Bath & Body Works Wallflower review. I love a good scent., I'm a sucker for scent. I went to Bath & Body Works after Christmas for their sales, as per usual, & I spotted a sale I couldn't pass up. I've seen the Wallflowers for as long as I can remember but never wanted to pay full price for them. Victory is mine! I always make sure to find a good deal when I can. If there's anything more I love than a scent, it's a good sale. My Bath & Body Works has some pretty great sales at that. There are many comforting and uplifting choices.

According to Bath & Body Works, a Wallflower Home Fragrance Plug is a fresh take on the traditional plug-in air freshener that fills your room with non-stop fragrance. You plug the fragrance refill into an electrical outlet and the scent is released. Some scents include Fresh Linen, Beach Day, Tropical Oasis, Island Margarit, Fresh Spring Morning, and so much more. So the question is How well do Bath and Body Works Wallflowers work? How to Use Bath and Body Works Wallflower? How Long Do Wallflowers Last?
Bath and Body Works Plug ins
I spent about $32: got 10 Wallflowers fragrance refill fragrances & one Wallflower fragrance plugin. There are a lot of Bath and Body Works plug ins to pick from. They only had a pumpkin, snowman, or fir tree. I went for the tree. Hey, I like nature. Looking at their non-holiday fragrance plugs, I really love their pineapple nightlight, the palm leaf or the parrot.

How Long Does a Bath and Body Works Wallflower Refill Last?
Are Wallflowers safe to leave plugged in? How long can you leave Wallflowers plugged in? I bought these after Christmas & have been using mine for about six weeks, so I have a good gauge of how they work. You can also score some good items during the BBW Christmas sale. The associate said each Wallflower refill lasts about 4-6 weeks. I would say that's accurate, leaning more toward the 4-week mark. You can tell it's getting low when the liquid starts to disappear.
Shop the holiday Wallflower plugins! Here are just a few of the current options
However, if you have a larger room, the scent won't be as potent or won't last as long since it has to fill more space. If you place the Wallflower plugin in the bathroom, you'll have plenty of scent wafting through. If you place it in an open area such as an apartment with a living room, kitchen, walk-in area all kind of open, it won't be as potent.
How to Use Bath and Body Works Wallflower
Buy the plug, remove cap from fragrance, twist in the Wallflower fragrance refill, then plug it in. The Wallflower leaves a lingering scent throughout the room. My Bath and Body works air fresheners are located in the bedroom and bathroom. Basically, anytime you walk in you have a nice whiff of the scent. There are dozens of fragrance refills. Some of mine include Sparkling Amber, Be Daring Spiced Saffron Redwood, & Smoked Berries & Incense. Popular scents are Japanese Cherry Blossom, Eucalyptus Mink
The Wallflowers are perfect for those of us who like a good-smelling room. I recommend putting this in a smaller area because the scent will not be as strong. I'm pretty pleased with my $32 purchase; I think it will last me most of the year. Well, it'll last until the next big sale I hope!
Pros
+ Smells great
+ Variety of scents & plugins to choose from
+ Works best in a small room
+ Low maintenance
Cons
+ Somewhat expensive at full price
+ Doesn't work well in large rooms
Bath Body Works Wallflowers
So yeah, that's my Bath & Body Works Wallflower review. It's a solid product. There are so many Wallflower options & scents. They even have holiday goodies like Fresh Balsam, Vanilla Bean Noel, Frosted Cranberry, Blueberry Sugar, & more. They keep coming up with new stuff! There are definitely a lot of really good fragrances to choose from. Some Wallflowers even have a light so it acts as a night light as well.

Wingless || A poem
I wondered wholeheartedly
as the whiskey wooed my wounds.
I wandered within my wisdom
while the warmth of the world
washed away my worries
& the wind whispered wordlessly.
Why wish upon the stars
when I can walk among them?
Why wait for the earth to be woven
when I can weave it myself?
Why worry about worthless wars
when I am waging them within my wellbeing?
I am wingless but still worthy;
I am wild but still working,
willfully but not woefully.
Wherever I will whimsy,
I wondered wholeheartedly.
By Carmen Varner
+++++++++++++++++++++
Wingless is about the internal struggle we have within us. We wage a war upon ourselves by constantly criticizing our bodies, underestimating our power, doubting our self-worth. But we are everything & more. Why wish upon the stars when I can walk among them? Don't idolize others, when you are the star. We are stars, we are worth it. Why wait for the earth to be woven when I can weave it myself? We don't have to wait for our futures because we create it every day. We don't need others to do work for us when we are more than capable of doing it ourselves. Why worry about worthless wars when I am waging them within my wellbeing? All these thoughts & problems rise from our own minds. Change your attitude & stop the war against yourself.
What are your thoughts about being Wingless? What did you gather from my poem? I love to learn how others translate what I write. Let me know. :]

How to Toast Quinoa
Quinoa is a magical little grain that's high in protein & gluten-free. In fact, it's actually a seed. I want to show you a wonderful way to give it some natural flavor. That said, you definitely don't toast quinoa in the toaster! Hehehe. Keep reading to learn how to toast quinoa.
1. Locate your quinoa. Found it? Got it? Good. Moving on.
2. Preheat your pan. No need for oil.
3. Gently rinse your quinoa. There's often dirt & other bits o' nature in there.
4. Add your desired amount of quinoa to the pan.
5. Stir lightly until toasty.
Ok, so yes those are the basics.
You really need to keep your eye on the pan, constantly moving the quinoa around. If you don't it'll burn. You'll know your quinoa is just about ready when you start to hear some slight crackling. This means they're getting nice & toasty. You'll see the edges start to brown. You'll smell a lovely waft of aromatic flavor -- kind of nutty.
Slight crackling. Brown edges. Fragrant smell. These are signs you know it's cooking & that it's just about ready. You may toast the quinoa for however long you prefer. Simply monitor the brownness. Let that be your guide because you don't want it to be over toasted or burned.
After your quinoa is toasted, cook as directed. This usually means boiling it for about 20 minutes. Add water to your pan & just let it simmer over low heat until ready. The usual ratio is 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water. Substitute couscous with quinoa in this cumin chickpea dish. Do you have much cooking with quinoa experience? Was learning how to toast quinoa useful? Have you ever tried toasting your quinoa prior to eating it? :]

Halloween Costume Idea: Wednesday Addams
Halloween rolls around every year, but some costumes never go out of style. Wednesday Addams is one of them. She’s spooky, sharp, and instantly recognizable — all while being one of the easiest DIY looks to pull together.
* This post may contain affiliate links.
Halloween is nearing, & you're looking for some Halloween costume ideas. Duh duh duh dunnn. I'm here to help! Today I have a Wednesday Addams (from The Addams Family) inspired look for you to rock. Sport this as an everyday outfit -- if you're bold -- or try this on for size as a Halloween costume idea for women or girls.
First things first, to achieve the look you'll need to braid your hair in the classic Wednesday Addams fashion. That was easy. Now you'll need to master your wardrobe. A collared dress is the only way to go. If desired you could do a long-sleeved black dress with a white collar.
Since Netflix’s Wednesday series first dropped in 2022 (and brought us Jenna Ortega’s viral dance scene), Wednesday Addams has become more popular than ever. Season two in 2025 cemented her as a full-on cultural icon. TikTok trends, gothcore fashion inspo, even mainstream clothing brands have taken cues from her signature black-and-white style. So if you’re looking for a 2025 Halloween costume idea that’s both timeless and on-trend, Wednesday Addams should be at the top of your list.

The Classic Wednesday Look
To nail the Wednesday aesthetic, focus on a few key elements:
-
Hair: Center-parted braids, neat and sleek.
-
Dress: Black, long-sleeved, with a sharp white collar. Like this one.
-
Shoes: Mary Janes, combat boots, or chunky loafers.
-
Accessories: Black tights, pale makeup, and maybe a small prop (a spooky book, a fake spider, or even a headless doll if you’re going old-school). Like sheer black tights and combat boots.
Grab yourself some sheer black tights or take creative liberty by getting skeleton tights. They're so festive & definitely a conversation starter. My Halloween costume version of Wednesday Adams would wear these because she's cool, she's different, she's a little bit morbid, & doesn't mind standing out from the crowd. I would combine this look with combat boots. It's a little bit Wednesday, a little bit me. Feminine, yet spunky.
Accessorize this Addams Family Halloween costume idea with a black choker. Autumn is the best time to rock dark berry lips. I love the the deep shade, the rich pigmentation as well as the immense sparkle.
Why Wednesday Addams Still Reigns in 2025
-
Pop culture powerhouse: Thanks to Netflix, Wednesday has crossed generations. Kids, teens, and adults all know her.
-
Simple but bold: A collared black dress + braids = instant recognition.
-
Budget-friendly: You can thrift or DIY most of the outfit.
-
Versatile: Works solo, as a couples costume (Wednesday + Enid, anyone?), or as part of an Addams Family group.
Wednesday isn’t just a costume — she’s a whole vibe. Wednesday Addams is a Halloween staple for a reason. She’s spooky without being over the top, stylish without being fussy, and recognizable across generations. In 2025, she’s more relevant than ever thanks to Netflix, which makes her the perfect costume choice this year.
The Addams Family has been around for nearly a century, and every generation seems to fall in love with this spooky crew all over again. From cartoons to Netflix hits, the family has gone through many transformations — but the core is always the same: creepy, kooky, and oddly lovable.
The Origins (1930s–1960s)
The Addams Family started as single-panel cartoons created by Charles Addams for The New Yorker in the late 1930s. They weren’t given first names until much later, but the quirky, macabre humor was already in place. In 1964, the first live-action TV series aired on ABC, bringing Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester, and Lurch to living rooms across America. This black-and-white sitcom cemented the family as pop culture icons.
The Movie Era (1990s)
For many fans, the definitive Addams Family came in the early 1990s with two live-action films: The Addams Family (1991) and Addams Family Values (1993). Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston delivered unforgettable performances as Gomez and Morticia, while Christina Ricci’s deadpan Wednesday became a cultural touchstone. These movies blended dark humor with genuine heart, giving the Addams clan a modern cult following.
Animated Revivals (2010s)
In 2019 and 2021, MGM released The Addams Family and The Addams Family 2 as animated films. Featuring the voices of Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, and Chloë Grace Moretz, these family-friendly movies reintroduced the Addamses to a new generation. While critics were mixed, kids loved the colorful take on the creepy household.
The Netflix Era (2022–Present)
The biggest resurgence came with Netflix’s Wednesday in 2022. Starring Jenna Ortega, the show followed Wednesday Addams at Nevermore Academy, mixing gothic style with coming-of-age mystery. The series became a viral sensation thanks to Ortega’s performance and that unforgettable dance scene. A second season in 2025 solidified Wednesday as the family’s breakout star for a new generation.
Would you ever go as Wednesday Addams? Do you have any Halloween plans yet? I don't. Shhh. :]Here are some other Halloween costume ideas:

Halloween Costume Idea: Cher Horowitz from Clueless
As most of you likely know Clueless is one of my all-time favorite films everrrr. That said, it would make sense to feature Clueless's main character, Cher Horowitz, as a Halloween costume idea for women. I dug through some stills from the movie & created a hybrid outfit to emulate her style.
To start off this look, you're going to layer a white sleeveless top or turtleneck & a lacy black tank. There is leeway with the white shirt -- in the film, she wears a basic white tee & in my costume, it's a sleeveless turtleneck. You can do whatever makes sense for you, it's mainly about the black and white aesthetic.
Next, we definitely want some sort of yellow plaid to mimic one of Cher's most notable looks: her black & yellow plaid ensemble. This plaid yellow skirt is a great way to keep your Halloween costume modern. We don't have to be so literal when dressing up like a character. :]

Lastly, we want some cute silver heels paired with some knee-high or thigh high socks. Once again, there is freedom with your socks. Throughout the film, most characters wear knee socks at some time or another. The color is up to you. To accessorize the look, get a small transparent clutch to hold your necessary items like your ID, cell phone, & credit card. Now you're ready to be totally clueless.
This Halloween costume idea based on Clueless's Cher Horowitz is actually pretty simple to achieve & you'll look super awesome while wearing it. Clueless is a timeless film & Cher is the perfect person to be if you're out of Halloween costume ideas this year. As if!
Stay tuned for more Halloween costume ideas for women! Stay cool. Stay positive. Stay updated. What do you think of this costume idea? Would you ever be Cher? :]
