When Paradise Comes To You

While we, in the UK, teeter on the edge of spring, we are still getting little reminders that winter is not quite done with us yet.  The new buds and spring flowers give us all a little more hope of longer, sunnier and warmer days to come.

While we can have some glorious weather here, we all have out little dreams of some paradise island somewhere.  A shady spot.  A warm breeze.  The sea washing the sand from between our toes.  The sea air, intoxified with fragrant blossoms from downwind.  Well, I had a little taste of this and I know that paradise can actually come to you....

New Video Review

I have had these soapies sitting here for a little while now, just waiting to be used.  Now that I have got around to finally using them, I thought it would be nice to do a video review (video reviews are so much easier to watch aren’t they?  They’re not so easy to produce, but that’s a whole other story, lol). 

               

They were kindly sent to me as a gift from Scent Trail (gosh… sometimes I feel so lucky).  So here’s my review.  Again, I am super nervous but I think I am ever so slightly more relaxed than the first video.  There’s also an accompanying written review if you prefer.
