Perfect for Summer Layering
Scent: 555 Strawberry + Aire, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: 555 Strawberry + Aire, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a high-quality, straightforward scent that captures a beautiful fruity vibe perfect for spring and summer. It opens with a vibrant blast of super-sweet strawberry before settling into a smooth, cozy blend of vanilla and sandalwood. The presentation is nice, the bottle feels solid, and the cap and nozzle function perfectly. While the performance is average for a mist, the 1oz travel size is ideal for keeping in a work bag for a quick refresh every few hours. It works beautifully as a standalone fragrance or as a sweet base for layering.

Portable size to freshen up
Scent: 555 Strawberry + Aire, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The fragrance is fruity and light. This is a great size to pop in a purse or gym bag. I also found it easily in my bag because of the bright red color, and my bag is ALWAYS a mess lol. The lid stays on with no issues. Since this is a mist , the scent is there and gone pretty quickly. It doesn’t last long. The price is decent for this brand, but it isn’t going to perform much differently than what you get at the “blue gingham” place. I’ve ordered from Lake & Skye before and I generally like their products.

Fruity body mist
Scent: 555 Strawberry + Aire, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: 555 Strawberry + Aire, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a great little travel-size body spray to keep in a beach bag, purse, or suitcase. The spray bottle is compact but still feels sturdy, and it’s super convenient for on-the-go use. The scent is pleasant, sweet, and fruity, and not overpowering at all. To me it has a warm fruity vibe that kind of reminds me of summer days as a kid eating popsicles. Nice for everyday wear if you want something light and easy, plan to reapply every 3 hours or so for maximum scent.

This is a great ball for high energy dogs.
Color: Blue
I have a Belgian Malinois, so you can imagine the Maligator jaws. Just opened this today and let her play with it indoors. She LOVES IT. It wore her out and it’s a toy she can really stay focused on without needing me to throw or roll for her. It moves on its own! I supervised her play. I was hoping it was too big to get under the couch, but no. It goes right under it. I had to block off the gap so I didn’t have to keep getting it out from under for her. The outter “shell” is very durable! When she had resting moments, she chewed it pretty good - I could hear the material squeaking against her teeth. I was worried she was tearing it up, but nope! Not a mark on it. It’s easy to set up and operate. It needed charging before play. After hours of play, she was able to somehow unscrew the outter shell. This concerned me bc the smaller, inner ball mechanism came out but I saw it right away and was able to put it back together. So, make sure it’s screwed together tightly (which I thought I had done without breaking it) and check it from time to time to make sure it hasn’t loosened. This is a great ball for her incredible high energy drive. It gives her the work and fun play she needs to get tired, which I love. This toy is on the expensive end, but so far it’s worth it. Now we’ll see how long it lasts!
