My Favorite Things: Lunaroma Sparkle Synergy Perfume Oil
Smells are connected with so many of my favorite memories. When I smell baby powder I am brought back to a family vacation in Cancun to a time I wore this spray on baby powder scented deodorant. I can feel the cold marble on my feet. I can smell the salt from sea. I can…
West African Almond Stew
