Did you know that you can buy Locally made, all Natural Soap and pick it up Curbside in Gloucester in time for Christmas? We’re giving away a Drift Soap Gift Bag on Tomorrow’s Podcast To Someone That Shares It On Facebook and Comments “Shared” during the live stream


Here are 3 Great Reasons to Give the gift of Natural Soap this Holiday Season:
#1 You’ll help encourage clean living!Each day, the average person slathers on countless toxic, chemical ingredients onto their bodies just by using commercial name brand soaps, lotions, and other routine skincare products.Commercial soaps can contain harmful chemicals, synthetic fragrances, alcohol, GMO oils, preservatives plus other “junk” ingredients that are known to damage & irritate the skin. Give natural gifts this year to encourage friends and family to be conscious of what they’re putting on their skin!
#2 They make Wonderful stocking stuffers!Drift soaps smell amazing and are the perfect size for stocking stuffers! It’s not just any soap casually stuffed in a stocking. Your recipients will experience the difference with the soap’s thick lather & natural moisture barrier. Each bar of our soap is made with organic Shea butter, botanicals, essential oils, (found in some, but not all of our scents), and a blend of non-GMO plant based oils for a touch of moisture. Stuff our natural soaps in your family’s stockings this year!
#3 You will be supporting a small, local business!Do you know where your Christmas gifts come from? When you choose Drift Soap, you’re choosing to give your friends and family gifts that are made by a small business in Gloucester, MA! Giving the gift of local & natural means your gifts are handcrafted with love using premium ingredients — no chemicals and no junk!
As you’re thinking about what gifts to buy for your friends & family this holiday season, consider giving the gift of healthy skin. Quality, natural soaps make great holiday gifts. Plus, Drift Soap Company makes it easy to find wonderful products & gift sets at an affordable price point:
Soap Bars: $6 ea. 3 bars or more: $5 ea
Holiday Special: 1 Bar Soap wrapped with Large Clamshell Soap Dish Gift Set: $7 ea
Choose from:Sea Lavender Oatmeal Honey Grapefruit Tea TreeSeaweed ScrubHigh TideDay at the BeachLobster Farts (a great soap for kids!)
3 ways to place your order:Text or call your order to Trisha @978-675-5438Email her at: tclinch@hotmail.comPrivate msg her via FB Messenger.
Take advantage of easy curbside pick up near Pavilion Beach in Gloucester. We will be busy Santa’s helpers filling curbside pick up orders everyday through Christmas Eve. Why go to the stores and deal with crowds when you can get your gifts conveniently at the beach?
Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy holiday season!

CODA is world premiering at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival!

From Sian Heder:
I am so damn excited to announce that my film CODA is world premiering at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival! This is such a special film to me, the process of making it was honestly life changing and I can’t wait for the world to experience it!  #Sundance is doing things differently this year with online screenings via festival.sundance.org and Satellite Screens across the country, so you can access it on your own screens or in your community!
Hope you’ll join us January 28 – February 3. Tickets on sale, January 7.  
I’m so proud of my actors and my crew and the whole city of Gloucester (now the whole town gets to talk about something else besides The Perfect Storm)!
