Thirsty Thursday?
We discovered today that Violet is a huge fan of rooibos tea.
And got in a bunch of really cool aromatherapy necklaces! They come with little foam-type pads to fit inside, that can be charged with your favorite essential oil(s). Very cool indeed, come to the shop and check them out!
