Spring Cleaning

[1]

There’s nothing like shedding winter skin and facing spring with a fresh, clean scent — especially one that is inspired by the smells of Maine. Portland textile designer Angela Adams (273 Congress St., Portland, 800-255-9454, www.angelaadams.com [2]) has introduced a new line of gift soaps. They are encased in chic packaging, but more importantly smell and feel great. The mini gift set ($18) features all six Maine-inspired scents — aloe lemongrass, lucky lavender, peppy peppermint, fresh pine, beach rose, and geranium seaweed — in half-ounce bars. Or buy individual four-ounce bars ($7.75). All soaps are made in Maine with natural and organic ingredients and are available in the retail shop in Portland or online.
