Products I Love
- Pura Smart Fragrance Diffusers - I initially thought these were a bit on the expensive side, but once I got one for my living room, I felt like I lived in a retail store because it smelled SO GOOD. I love that you can customize scent levels, schedules, and light colors. My favorite smell is Homesick: Texas. If you order using my link, you'll get $ off your first order and I get rewards points. Woo hoo!
