A Slider is a Beautiful Thing


The Boston Red Sox are two games ahead in the world series, thanks to the fast balls, curve balls and sliders of pitchers named Beckett and Schilling and Okajima...and to the man some say is the greatest "closer" in the game -- Jonathan Papelbon -- who is almost unhittable. A Papelbon slider or two were among the clinchers that closed out the 2nd game at Fenway.

At Lanikai Bath and Body we have "sliders", too. Or that's what we call them in the "back of the house." For our customers, we call them "samplers." Our floral samplers are sets of different 2.2 ounce washes and lotions "cozied together in a travel bag."
That's a slider.

So whether it's full of beautiful, perfectly scented precious bottles of lotion or it's part of a battery of throws that wraps up a very close game, a slider is a beautiful thing.
