Picture a summer getaway with copious amounts of cocktails, twirly umbrellas, and the sounds of the ocean and sandy feet. You can almost feel the water droplets…wait, that’s not sea spray, it’s your sweat trickling down your face and back! Okay, we’re sorry to burst that bubble so quickly. But the truth is while you’re roughing it out in the city thinking of those dreamy vacays, the heat’s sapping all your energy leaving you sweaty and worse, smelly! We suggest you get your hands on some refreshing body mists to cool you off and keep you smelling fabulous.
