caldrea for target

if you've been reading the blog since day 1, you'll probably remember my obsession with molton brown hand soap. i have a special bottle of molton brown naran ji next to my kitchen sink, and while i love love love it, it pains me to think i'm spending roughly $.50 every time i wash my hands. i decided to pick up some of the new target line by caldrea as my "i don't need to spend fifty scents washing bacon grease of my hands" kitchen soap and let me tell you, it's awesome. i picked up the olive oil scent ($7.99, not available online) and it's exactly what i'd like next to my kitchen sink. now i don't feel so bad when i wash my hands...

luxury hand soap?

if you had asked me a year ago what the heck makes molton brown hand wash (yes wash, not soap) worth the regular retail price of $25, i would have looked at you in disbelief - $25?! but ever since trying it at houston's restaurant on park ave (they all have my favorite naran ji scent hand wash in their bathrooms), i'm a believer.

i've come <---> this close to purchasing in the past but always talk myself out of it. i mean, $25 on a 10 oz bottle of soap? but just yesterday i found it on sale for $18.75 on the bath and body works website (they're owned by the same company). still a lot, but now that it's under the $20 threshold, i might have to bite the bullet. my friend christy will back me up on this one...she shares my love for it. i think it's totally worth it for a guest bathroom next to some really plush, soft hand towels. now if only i had a guest bathroom! well whatever. i think i'll run over to the molton brown store on spring street during lunch today to see if they'll do a price match so i don't have to pay for shipping...

p.s. on the off chance they don't price match at the store, i'll probably still spring for it - bath and body works is having a today-only special on shipping. $4 no matter what with promo code 4SHIP.
