Beach Reads

📘 beach reads by @leafy_slime ⛱️ 📘 texture: paper clay (a lotion x paper clay hybrid) with a touch of sand ⛱️ scent: old books + tropical banana boat sunscreen Beach Reads is a paper clay, so naturally I gravitated straight to it. It plays like a lotion x paper clay hybrid, super moisturizing, which I absolutely love, and so squishy. The sand adds a nice little texture, just a tiny bit of grit, and it is perfect. It smells like books and sunscreen and it is really nice. Leafy’s old books scent is back, one of their all time favorites, and this time it is paired with that tropical banana boat sunscreen. The combo is chef’s kiss. I love reading on the beach. Why is a book always better when read on the beach lol? I can easily get lost in a story and just relax listening to the waves. Turns out there is actual science behind it: studies have found reading can lower stress by up to 68% within just a few minutes, faster than music or a cup of tea, and ocean waves put our brains into a naturally relaxed state. So beach reading is basically a double dose of calm, and imagine adding sliming into that too?
