You know you have them…maybe they’re regrets wishing you said “Hey” to that girl, or clothes you bought that when you left the store you wanted to bang your head against the wall.

I’ve heard so much about retaW, you know that cool Japanese brand that makes those “fragrance tablets”. Well me, like an idiot who was suckered into this cool, sweet smelling, minimalist lifestyle went out and bought those “fragrance tablets”.
