Each Skandi Blooms Beauty Bar is formulated with skin-softening sunflower lecithin, helping you feel hydrated and clean. Daffodils represent hope. One of the first flowers to bloom in spring, their bright yellow petals invite happiness and optimism as we bid farewell to winter.

Kalastyle Swedish Dream Sea Salt

Last week I reviewed Oriza L. Legrand’s Villa Lympia, a seashore-themed perfume with Belle Epoque-styled packaging.
