Happy National Margarita Day! Our community project for today: wear a fragrance with lime or salt or both. (PSAs: the Rosine giveaway is still open, and the splitmeet is tomorrow.)
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
