Spring pah! I'll believe in when I see it.
Today it has rained non stop and the sky has been a dull hue of grey since I opened my eyes early this morning but to forget all about the April showers that have been plaguing the UK I have a simply remedy - Yankee's Sun and Sand fragrance.
Imagine all the scents you associate with the beach rolled into wax form and you have hit the nail on the head. Yankee describe their Sun and Sand scent as "A tropical beach breeze of sweet orange flower, lemony citrus, fresh lavender and powdery musk" but to my nose it is slightly aquatic combined with the creamy notes of sunscreen. An odd combination yes but it works seamlessly to evoke memories of lounging on the beach catching some rays and the general feeling of bliss that only a week or two off from work can provide.
Don't laugh when I share this but to really shake off the winter cobwebs I have been burning this while I sip on pineapple juice (mandatory straw and cocktail umbrella included of course) and apply my self tanner. All that is missing is some badly sung karaoke and I could be in any resort in Europe...I just ooze class ha!
Hey if you can't get to the beach, bring the beach to you!
