SOTD 30 July - 5 August

Have a great week~

Sandalwood (letterk)week for me!

Look above for just two more reasons...

Fine tools of the trade , and excellent photographs . I wonder how much I would spend on postage if I started sending my SOTD implements out to be photographed in such fine fashion...

Thoughts:
The rose and lime combination continues to work and smell fantastic and I'm really glad I got my hands on the Boosters Iced Lime A/S a few weeks ago. BBS and feeling really well moisturized without any irritation.

The coffee I picked up this morning is from a local coffee company and it is very tasty. I would not put it at the level of DJ's Ristretto Roasters Mexican Chiapas, but it is a good cuppa coffee that was priced right for the unexpected purchase.

**Dear sweet God that Oakmoss is one great scent. I received a sample size of the Oakmoss from Colleen Hurly when I ordered a puck of Highlander. The Oakmoss scent was so much better than what I was expecting. I guess I was thinking something more earthy and well…mossy smelling. But this soap is very clean, fresh and just fantastic. And as with all of Colleen’s soaps that I’ve tried, it shaves perfectly.
