  • Made by Heather and Clay, minimally scented with either cedar or lemongrass, and hand-stamped with a stamp made by vocalist Tany Ling! Soaps are ~ 3"x2.5"x1", with some variations. Ingredients: coconut oil, olive oil, lye, water, lemongrass or cedar essential oils, tumeric as coloring, + some bars have ground coffee added as exfoliant and coloring.
    Each order comes with a 100% cotton Marshweed "soap-saver bag" in which leftover soap bar fragments can be stored, and which can be used as a "cloth soap bar" itself.

    I recommend ordering several bars of soap at once, as the difference in the postage is small.

about

This is a snarky song disguised in a cloak of mellow beauty, its moody vibe woven with the textures of a cloudy day. It's a backhanded shrug about LA's perfect weather, and how boring it gets with its ceaseless brightness.

Favorite lyric: “It’s not that I’m complaining, it’s not the sun I hate: I think it’s just that every day’s the same.” I didn't mean for it to be whiny, but there is difficulty in that this ideal weather provides zero change, zero challenge for anyone. Because of that I end up taking it for granted, and end up being driven crazy by all the perfect sun. People around here IDEALIZE the wearing of sweaters. We laugh at it sometimes, but humans benefit from diversity in their surroundings. One little cloud in the morning, and my friends all cuddle in their favorite sweaters for like one hour. Then I visit other places, with their exceptional flooding-humidity-tornadoes-unrelenting cold, what-have-you, I'm like, "Heather you're a real A-hole."

TBH, this song is propelled by an underlying envy of others who live in climates that actually change.

lyrics

I wish that there were seasons in Los Angeles
Drinking so much water is a pain
My red and stinging eyes no doubt idealize
A vision of snow and hail and ice.

Everyone who moves here seems insane
People who were born here don’t remain
It’s not that I’m complaining; it’s not the sun I hate
I think it’s just that every day’s the same.

Every year, you get the gift of transformation: ice to water, sun to shadow,
growth to death, to grow again - a living see-saw, changing patterns,
something to measure against.

I wish that there were seasons in Los Angeles
A madness lurks in constant paradise
My red and stinging eyes no doubt idealize
The moisture that would come with snow and ice.

So here’s to you and yours in Massachusetts
I laud you for continuing to live
In a place where shoveling snow has got to be the lamest,
Not to mention frozen pipes, frostbite, chapped lips.
