Theme justification: Tempest and Summer Storm are both obvious petrichor/rain scents. Between the two, I prefer Summer Storm by a decent margin. CF is needed elsewhere on my calendar though, and the WK base gave a great lather.

Daily challenge: I was incredibly busy with work and family life today, so I did not shave outside. I either had enough time to go for a run or to head somewhere to shave. I went for the run, which I think was the healthier decision. #NORAGRETS $SELFCARE

$FOF - The dirt, petrichor, and rain from Tempest and Summer Storm faded into the mossy-green Irisch Moos in a surprisingly natural way. Original Irisch Moos soap or cream is definitely something I'm keeping an eye out for. I just love this scent.
