Don't other places sell Philosophy? A quick check of Macy's shows 112 items. I've seen some in Marshalls. I'm sure QVC isn't the only place to buy it.

It is true that QVC is not the only place to buy Philosophy but they do offer good bargains. I can only find the 32 ounce shower gels at QVC.

@lgfan Some of the scents are also only sold at QVC.....

Philosophy is not the same as it was years ago. I loved Philosophy AG lotion. It has no fragrance anymore. I've tested it with other people also and they smell nothing.

Philosophy is no more for me. I'm finally done.

I also use to love Philosophy years ago. People use to always ask me what I was wearing. I still have a few of the roller balls and they still have that staying power. I'm also done buying their products.

I still like a few of the fragrances but stopped the body washes few years ago, the use of so many chemicals, sulfates and all the arftificial dyes was no longer to my liking.

I thought about this the same way you did. Heidi left and Lisa said Monday that her and Mari Lyn would both be on vacation next Monday and she didn't know if or who would be doing the livestream. It seemed odd. No shows are scheduled that I could see and nothing new listed. I hope Philosophy isn't leaving.

When was Heidi's last day on-air? I'm shocked that she is no longer with Philosophy. I really enjoyed her presentations. What a void.

I think the fact that they keep offering these gigantic bottles of body wash ( they ALL do it...Philosophy, Korres, and now that candle guy is getting to the act...)

...when there are more and more single households in the US, many of them occupied by retired folks....who don't use gallons of this flourescent goopy stuff to wash themselves after toiling in the dusty coal mine each day ....

Might be why they will have less programs...and less sales. That an the fact that the goop loses it's smell almost immediately ( the stuff remaining in that giant bottle after opening...)...which makes those florid presentations about the wonderful different scents kind of moot.....

Or, as someone mentioned, CIJ is coming.

I know it takes me a LONG time to use up those one liter bottles that come in sets of two or even three around the holidays....so by June, I sure don't need or want more of it cluttering up my place..

Here's an interesting fact from the about nearly 30% of US households: (From the2022 "Census Bureau Releases New Estimates on America's Families and Living Arrangements" ):

"Households: There were 37.9 million one-person households, 29% of all U.S. households in 2022.....

In 1960, single-person households represented only 13% of all households. "

Slightly OT....you know those endless LUME ads and now others that say you can go three days with thier product before you ripen and begin to rot?....

Don't MOST people take a shower once daily... which would negate the need to ultra de-odorize oneself for more prolonged periods?

If people only bathe once every three days... enough that they need all those new products..... do they realize that "deodorized" is NOT the same as "clean"?!?!?!?

,... So who still DOES need those all those one liter bottles of body wash stuff?!?!??!?

@Shelbelle

Agree.....Phiosophy products look more and more like what you'd see in a science fiction movie test tube...glowing flourescent glop ...some with sparkly stuff just for fun!!!!

One bottle of thier stuff had on the label that is could cause Urinary Tract Infections...a fact they conveniently don't mention when they're expounding on the glorious scents....

I'd rather use products that use as few chemicals as possible....but even that is elusive.

Read the label.....

And remember...when that Goat Milk or any other body glop is "Drinking into your Skin"...it's dragging along ALL those other chemicals on that label into your body along with it!!!!

Any scented product can cause a UTI. I thought that was just common knowledge.

Lately I buy only sulfate free body washes, that leaves out Phil, Korres and Perlier to name a few.

I have a slightly o/t question. I know Heidi has a new blog.

What is the purpose of it? Trying to help people adopt a healthier

life style? I am enjoying it.
Does she create revenue in any way?

Unfortunately, the thrill is gone with philosophy products for me. I used to have a closet full of philosophy; the last few products have smelled like bug spray to me. I still use Purity for my face cleaning, this is the only facial cleaner that doesn't burn my eyes and still removes makeup. I was once a 100% philosophy fan; it makes me sad what the line has become. I use the remainder of my colognes as bed linen spray, the soaps in my kitchen soap dispenser.
