The answer came to me with a bar of soap 🧼Recently I was re-organising my bathroom, cleaning out empty bottles to be recycled, organising products together, and even combining the multiple hand creams I seemed to have acquired and started to use at different times. No shame, of course. One thing that struck me while I was performing this task was my delicious collection of soap bars. This Substack is reader-supported. To rec
