Why is it that we’re more than willing to throw down when it comes to entertainment center upgrades, but not always our showers? Imagine a world in which every time you step into the shower, you’re transported to a mini vacation, complete with good music, calming smells, and beer service.
Don’t tell me you wouldn’t want that right in your own bathroom. So in the spirit of making your life just a little better where you can (or a lot better in this case), we present the ultimate shower upgrade gear.
If you can improve a place that you’re in everyday, it’s advisable that you make those improvements. So go ahead, level up that bathroom, and bring the Bahamas or the mountains or your favorite campsite into your cleaning suite. Besides, nothing says “grown man” and “well adjusted” like a souped up shower.
