If you have a favorite soap, incense scent, or candle maker, this is the thread to plug them!
If you want my soap recommendations:

^^ This one is a really nice floral incense scented soap. Germanium and jasmine, I think? Coconut oil based, so HOLY SHIT it does a great job of keeping skin moist. It’s sold out on this site, but if you google it, you can buy this bar for $5. Some places sell for $10, but fuck that tho, this shit isnt hard to find.
Going up to $10 in price - this comrade is my girl. Their tomato leaf soap is, to me, my ‘desert island’ soap. Favorite scent hands down, if I was forced to pick. They usually do their soaps with a shea butter base, or some sort of clay - VERY luxurious.

I have one more soap recommendation, but for the sake of space and not getting cut off, gonna switch to candles and incense here:

Barnes does candles too, but I like these folks cause I can grab incense too. Their scents are terrific, and they are the highest quality incense sticks I’ve tried to date (and I’ve tried a few).
Thank you for coming to my TED talk, if there are any questions, I’ll elaborate in the comments!
I dont fuckin work for any of these people I just really like their shit cause it all smells great and makes me feel good.
Incense drastically increases the amount of PM25 in closed areas indoors.
idk but a quick google indicates pm2.5 refers to fine particulate matter which makes sense that burning things would add that but I personally probably wouldn’t worry too much about it unless someone in the room has severe asthma or the product in question exudes carcinogens
paying $5+ dollars for a soap
