You may not find a bigger fan of Eat, Pray, Love than me. While I won't be traveling to Bali for yoga or quiting my job to walk in Elizabeth Gilbert's exact steps, her story moved me. In my own quiet way, I give thanks to Gilbert for sharing with me a self dialog that wasn't all about "how do I have babies and work?" Getting to know yourself is a fairly odd and strange journey and, for some, it does take traveling across the world. Especially after something as ugly and brutal as divorce. (Note: I know that not all divorces are ugly and brutal... just most of them.)
What was a spiritual success for Gilbert, is now about to be a commercial one as well. Eat, Pray, Love is coming to your TV, kitchen and now bathroom starting mid-July with the launch of Fresh's Eat, Pray, Love fragrance trio. If you're curious...
Eat has top notes of Italian lemon, basil and bergamot; a heart of plum, red current and rose, and a drydown of caramel, meringue and vanilla. Pray has top notes of elemi, pink pepper and juniper berry; middle notes of incense, peony and rose, and a drydown of patchouli, amber and musk. Love has top notes of bergamot, red currant and mango blossom; a heart of tiare and dewy jasmine, and a drydown of sandalwood, vetiver and velvet amber.
Each will retail for $32 for a 1-oz. eau de parfum spray.Fresh's branded "experience" is one of many other branded Eat, Pray, Love commercial ventures most certainly benefiting Ms. Gilbert. I say good for Elizabeth Gilbert. You rake in that cash.
My Eat, Pray, Love worship stops at the bookshelf. And, maybe a movie ticket... see you August 13.
