Things I Love Today: Coconut Soap

June is not San Francisco’s finest month. The city’s weather has a tendency to go to pot in a phenomenon called “June Gloom.” While the rest of the country is wearing sun dresses and flip flops, San Franciscans are putting on turtlenecks and jackets. It is 53 degrees outside right now.

But no matter. There are plenty of ways to feel like it is summer without it actually…well, feeling like it is summer. Corn, peaches and watermelon are always a good place to start. And showering in the morning with a bar of coconut soap is a sure fire way to get a little bit of that summer feeling.

I’ve been using a bar of organic, made in an African village, free trade coconut soap my friend Margaret gave me. But I’m sure this coconut soap from Body Shop will do the same trick.
