Friday scent of the day 6/24
Happy Friday and happy Midsummer 2022! (The solstice was on the 21st, but traditional Midsummer, in some countries, anyway, is celebrated today). Our community project for today: wear what you’d wear to dance around a Maypole or light a bonfire on the beach, or whatever you think fits.
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.
We did not make it to Montreal again (boo hiss to Air Canada!!) but after five wasted hours in the airport, we repacked and reoriented and got on the road: we’re now at the beach. I’m commando because I remembered to add a bathing suit to my luggage, but perfume did not even cross my mind. It looks like we will have good weather this weekend, and some day, maybe, I will make it to Canada…
