We just had a bout of regular old colds go through our home that left Andy down and out for a few days. I know many of you are also catching a little bug and so tis the season for frequent handwashing! Once the big projects are completed in my home (living room, kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.) I start on making conscious choices about the staples that we purchase. Hand soap may seem like a trivial thing to post about but let me be an advocate for choosing soaps that are healing to your hands, smell amazing, and look nice next to the sink. It brings a small dose of happiness to my day every time I use them! And since I work from home full time, these small moments add up. We have the Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia soap in our bathroom right now and every time I use it I think Wow! This smells so good! We don’t always purchase more luxurious hand soaps (cue the Up and Up Milk and Honey hand soap) but every time we do I’m really happy we did. I always keep my eye out for sales and will purchase a few to stock up. Here are some of my favorite elevated hand soaps to consider for the next time you run out and want something a  special.
