Honeysuckle Memories and 20% off Summer Scents till September 4th!
Honeysuckle is the fragrance of summer to me. As outside temperatures get warmer every day, I think about what I used to do when I was a child, and it was so hot outside. My three sisters and I played outside all day, all summer long.

Right now, I have three kids who are on their moms since they were born during the county fair.
