Summer is calling. Let's cannon-ball the kiddie pool!

Ahoy Matey! Hoist the sails!

June marks the beginning of summer – the season of freedom, possibilities, exploration and adventure. The daily grind gives way to wide open spaces. The familiar gets shoved in the corner for a few months as we pack up and head out on a road trip toward new journeys and exciting escapades. Where do you want to go?

Endless sunshine and extra hours are an open invitation to ditch the  chores and head outside – to the beach with a new book, camping with a cooler full of s’mores, or that outdoor movie under the stars. Take your imagination with you. Play like you did when you were a kid. Laugh your self silly. Because summer wants you to have a blast. The tans will fade but the memories will last forever. 

SUMMER SEASONAL SOAPS

Cool, refreshing, and light - that’s what you’re looking for on a hot summer day. We wanted to make your summer splashing fresh and fun, so we’ve come up with a few new soap scents that you can’t live without. These unique soaps are only available for the next few months and are made in limited production.  ($4.50 each)

Beach House – After a few seasons, this little number has quickly become the most beloved soap of summer. A dreamy blend of salty ocean air, pretty lavender, and green herbs - this scent is clean and light as a breeze.  With a Zen-like calm, its soothing marine fragrance and beautiful translucent sea glass color transports you directly to the spa.  My imaginary seaside cottage has a little pile of these in every room,

Cucumber Violet – Crisp cucumber blends with soft violet floral for a perfect match of fresh green, delicately herbal and just plain pretty. It’s light and soft yet brilliantly cool. You’ll be reaching for this bar all summer long for the ultimate refreshing shower after a hot day.

Coconut Milk & Almond – Real coconut milk makes this creamy, smooth bar extra moisturizing and gentle. The mouth-watering scent is a blend of rich coconut, vanilla and almond milk. It’s a treat for your skin and your senses, comforting and luxurious - and a gently soothing way to nurture a bit of sunburn.

Pineapple Mango – A tropical fruit smoothie, creamy and delicious. Imagine a cocktail of delectable juicy fruit with a drizzle of coconut vanilla cream, like one of those amazing tropical drinks with a little umbrella in it, poolside of course. I’m happy to start every summer day rumba-ing in the shower with this one!

AROMATIC SPRAYS FOR SUMMER

Summer is the perfect season to indulge in one of the aromatic sprays.  Keep a bottle in the fridge for a little spritz of icy cool on your neck or décolletage.  Spray a little bit of freshness on your towels, clean sheets, steamy car seats, or stinky dog.  This superhero stuff goes anywhere and everywhere, making the world smell a little more beautiful, one squirt at a time. (4 oz bottle, $6.00)

Beach House – A match to the soap, it’s a dreamy blend of salty ocean air, pretty lavender and green herbs, clean and light as a breeze.  Calming, cooling and ultimately fresh, it can take your hot, stuffy, anything directly to the beach in one spritz.

Coconut Lemongrass – Tropical creamy coconut with a squeeze of tart lemon, you’ll be dreaming of Piña Coladas and exotic vacation getaways in the blink of an eye.
