The Machine That Perfectly Mirrors Your Existential Dread

Or perhaps just a testament to how much disposable income one has after selling a house in California.

Spiritual Enlightenment, Now in a Convenient Spray Bottle

Because nothing screams 'spiritual awakening' like a room spray promising 'sex magic.' The expats in Todos Santos, ever in pursuit of deeper connections (and maybe a new dating app profile pic), will undoubtedly douse their yoga mats and artisanal kombucha stations with this, hoping to manifest a more 'vibrant' energy field. It's either that or actually talk to someone, and who has the time for such ancient rituals? Enchanted Soul offers this tantalizingly potent 'Sex Magic Room Spray'.
