It's Bath Time With Annie!!!

This is
 Annie Ahman.
Pronounced "O"man.
My PC keyboard does not have that alphabet with
the tiny "o" above the "A".
It's
Swedish.
But she's
 Vietnamese
 by birth.
Confused?
Don't be.
Annie felt shy to have her lovely self
featured.
Strange.
Since she's quite stunning.
Tall.
Good posture.
Her words are 
assured,
confident 
&
endearing.

I'm not easily impressed
but
one day in
Bali,
as we left the
 "W"...

...hotel, we ran into this charming concept store.
"bathe".
As it happens,
this is
Annie Ahman
baby.
It's about 6 months old.
Bringing forth a new attitude towards the
ritual of cleansing.
A return to an age where we
took
 time,
indulging in the
entire process,
literally bathing in
"JOY".

From the moment

 we stepped in,

I immediately knew this was

 special

&

 different.

As I scanned the store

with a well-trained

retailers "eye",

I saw key points that made

this business stood out.

More importantly,

it's a

 Labor of Love!!!

The evidence is everywhere.

Annies brings along, 

amongst many things,

a

 chic elegance

 to her concept store.

A little

touch here,

& 

a few touches there,

makes a 

whole lot of difference!

As usual, here are my

 20 questions

 which provide 

a glimpse into

Luxury 

can mean many things

 to different people.

Sometimes,

to enjoy a couple of hours,

pampering ourselves

in private,

is akin to

5 Star living.

Annie's says her business...

"...is about getting cleaned 

& 

 having fun at it."

Her inspiration to start this venture came 

from a friend who

 makes soap

 in

 Bali.

She intends to ...

"...get people excited about the old fashion

way of bathing."

And that idea

brought forth her range of 

soap bars.

 "I only use this type of soap myself."

I asked her about her direction...

"...I think we will have a good run & 

have stores everywhere!!!"

Her first outlet is 

located in this neighborhood in

Bali.

A return to a

 gentler time 

may not be a bad idea in this

 nano-second age,

where everything seems to be 

moving faster .

In person,

Annie came across to 

have what it takes to get this 

off the ground

& 

flying!

It takes a special type of character

to be able to 

go into business.

And another type of individual

who may 

make it a success.

Crossing the line between 

mediocrity

&

the fantastic

is no easy feat.

As far as I can see,

that line has been crossed.

Once in a while, comes along something 

 truly unique.

In this case, the fact that almost all the entire

line

 is manufactured in

 Bali,

 is an accomplishment 

that cannot be denied.

"bathe"

 has all the ingredients of a

 world class product.

Annie Ahman

has found her

raison d'etre.

Upfront

& 

out there,

"bathe"

will grow.

There's no doubt about that.

Welcome back to the romance of bathing!

Annie,

go get them!
