Lavender Hand Soap

A close friend once told me that she judges all hostesses by the kind of hand soap they have in their bathroom. At first, I was horrified. I have a cake of Ivory in mine! But the more I though about it, the more sense it made. I've been forced to suds up with patchouli-infused foam at dinner parties and nearly sneezed each time I reached a fork to my lips. As it turns out (and my picky friend agrees), lavender is one of the most universally liked scents. Make your guests happy -- ditch the bar stuff and splurge on a delicious lavender hand soap.
