fruit loops

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

When I was a child, my grandparents sent us a box of Harry & David pears every Christmas and I’ve been spoiled ever since. I don’t even bother buying pears at the grocery store anymore, because they are always a disappointment. For today’s catalog-themed splurge, I’m going all out and putting in my order for the 12-Month Organic (!) Fruit-of-the-Month Club Collection. Pears, pineapples, apricots, peaches, avocados… something divine every month of the year. YUM.

I thought soaking in a hot bath was luxurious enough, but this Flora Shower Gel seriously ups the ante. I mean, these are fancy bubbles. Gucci, take me away.
