Auric Blends Review and Giveaway!
MyThoughts on Auric Blends Afew years ago my husband and I decided to move out of my home town toa bigger city. It was a huge transition as my home town did not evenhave a Wal-Mart when I left. It was SMALL! The town I moved to hadnot only one but two Wal-Marts and I felt I was moving up in theworld. Okay why am I mentioning that? Well because with a bigger towncame new options. One of them was a health food store which had nevereven been a thought in my mind prior to moving. The first time Iwalked into the health food market I went to the personal care itemsand found perfumes made with natures ingredients. Oil perfumes aswell as solids were a new aspect to me and I could not wait toinvestigate more into this whole new world! Sincethen I have been partial to natural perfumes.
