Every Saturday, my hubby and I treat ourselves to a visit to Merz Apothecary in Chicago to splurge on soaps. Our basket usually ends up with an assortment of 5 to 10 soaps (sometimes 15) from different countries. Our favorites? Caswell Massey's almond soap, Nesti Dante's Romantica Florentine Rose and Peony soap, and Zador's Paprika.
