Hola soap family!

It's the birthday of our country this week and we're throwing a party! Get out your sparklers - it's the free shipping thingie we do every year on this holiday as a way to celebrate the foundations on which we all try to live our best lives: freedom, equality, life, liberty and the good old pursuit of happiness.

COLD SHOWERS NEED COOL SOAP

Summer means another round of heatwaves and record breaking temperatures. You can find me in the shower with the taps on full cold - you too? In my experience, cold showers go better with cool soap. Refreshing, pretty-smelling soaps like the ones we just rolled out in our Summer Seasonal Menu. Lather off the sweaty stinkies with Forest Bathing, Lavender Woods, Sea Salt + Surf, or yummy Watermelon Mint.

PUMICE SOAP IS BACK!

Hey gardeners and grillers! Calling all mechanics and handypeople! All those people who aren't afraid to use their hands and get a little dirty . . . There's a new batch of Pumice soap in stock and waiting to clean up.

Pumice is like super soft sand, so this bar is not at all rough, but it removes dirt, grease and just about any mess like a champ. I like to keep this one handy at every working sink and don’t go a day without it. Stock up now because it's not on the regular menu, just a pop up this month.

If we look back in history, the fight for freedoms, the struggle to achieve life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all citizens equally has been a constant theme. And we continue - because it's the very foundation of our country. Maybe we haven't ever gotten it exactly right, but that doesn't mean we stop trying. Sometimes we have to double back, double down, and say it louder. "We hold these truths to be self evident . . . "

United we stand. Don't stop believing . . .

"May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right."
- Peter Marshall
