5 Describe a scent that makes you feel a memory.
5 Anytime I smell jasmine I’m instantly transported to my childhood. I have a vivid memory of riding my bike and passing by a huge jasmine bush in full bloom. The scent was so vibrant that it stopped me in my tracks. I stood there for a bit in awe.

7 What are your simplest pleasures?
7 Mornings with my partner and our pup. Sitting in the sun. The first sip of coffee. A crispy piece of bacon. People watching at the park. The smell of spring. Laying on the beach.
