One of the other things I love about spring is that the lighter, airier things start making an appearance. A prime example of this is perfumes and fragrances. Yep, I’m breaking out the light, floral-y scents as we speak. One of my favorite things to do is make my own perfumes using ...
How to Make Your Perfume for Summer + Recipe

Yves Rocher Retropical for a Retro Tropical Summer
Retropical samples were provided for editorial purposes. All opinions are my own. I am a huge fan of retro and vintage stuff.

I also love vivid colors. I always tell people I’m not afraid of color, and it’s sooo ...
