For many years, my friends and I went camping to a desert in Northern Nevada on a moderately regular basis. Since Russ and I have been working, we haven't been able to enjoy this passtime very often and it has been sad. This year, however, we're shaking off our soap shavings and...

 There's a longer story here, but the short version is that we got a puppy yesterday and now we have a lot of puppy photos. This is Cheyenne (name pending): Here's a post of almost entirely puppy photos...

We believe in the importance and value of diligent work. Our business requires it and we're (usually) happy to roll up our sleeves, pull up our gloves, and get stuff done. These are quotes that inspire us as we do our work. If they also inspire you, we hope you...

"Moving always sucks." - my dad Years ago, when I was in the middle of a particularly heinous move, I called my dad in tears, telling him that I couldn't do it. He shared with me the wisdom of those three words. I'm pretty sure he didn't realize that he...

Now that I am a wise old person, my friend asked me to let him know "when I figured it all out." Here's what I told him: Life is too short to argue with shitty, small-minded people Life is not long enough to spend time with all the really awesome...

Over here in the badlands (um, in Oakland), big changes are afoot for Russ and me (Danielle). Outlaw Trading Co. As many of you know (based on our customer satisfaction survey), we don't just sell soaps anymore, we sell lotions and lip balms, too. Soon, we'll be selling shower gels (by...
