The Scents Of Summer

Every summer has its' own story, but all summers share the same scents. There's the essence of sun kissed skin, beachside escapes and breezy warm weather. Add in the scents of fresh mown grass, coconut suncare, and sea breeze. This edit features a little bit of all of this for you, your home, and your environment. This post is aromatherapy for your soul.
