Guys, one of my favorite local shops has started a monthly membership for a special scent-of-the-month room spray PLUS candle to be delivered to your home. Her room sprays are DIVINE (this is one fave)! Like, their scents literally linger for the whole day and into the eve. This isn’t sponsored, and I don’t get a commission, but I signed up, and if you’re a scenty person, I think you’d love them too. Plus, they make such great gifts.
