Buy Better Hand Soap

Life is dirty. Every day we go out into the world and accumulate dirt and grime. Then, we come home and sanitize ourselves in order to relax and recharge. It's a vicious cycle, but it's one we've become accustomed to, right? Of course, there are things we can do to make the cycle a little more enjoyable. And it starts at your sink.

Think about the last time you used the bathroom at a nice restaurant or high-end hotel. There wasn't some wall-mounted soap dispenser, was there? No. Likely, there was a nice bottle of hand wash positioned at the edge of the sink. You depressed the nozzle and, for just a minute, were transported to someplace special. You felt grown-up and polished. The best hand soaps not only wash away all the man-made nastiness of the outside world, but also condition the skin on our hands while providing an olfactory experience to nourish our senses.

Why not bring that back to your home? Sure, it's an upgrade that will cost more than the usual pump you'd pick up at the grocery store. But think of it as an investment. Not only in your home—since these bottles are far more attractive—but also in your well-being. The formulas are far better for your skin and the rich, fragrant lathers that they produce make a ritual out of your daily routine. A 30 second hand-washing session becomes an aromatherapy meditation that will put you in a much better frame of mind. And doesn't that sound like a nice way to enter your home?
