Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true-ooh-ooh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops that's where
You'll find me, ohSomewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to
Oh why, oh why can't I?Songwriter Harold Arlen; written for the 1939 film version of Wizard of Oz and sung by Judy Garland
The universally loved song represents every child's yearning of escaping into another realm of existence where all their dreams can be realized. Judy Garland’s performance of the song is both gorgeous and painful as the lyrics beg the universe for a glimmer of peace far above the troubled reality of life on earth. The song has been woven into American culture and awareness for the last 80 years, becoming an anthem for optimism and hope. Coincidentally, the song became something of a cultural catalyst propelling the eventual embrace of the rainbow symbol by the world's LGBTQ communities. Gilbert Baker, the Vietnam War veteran and drag queen who designed the original Pride flag, once told MoMa in an interview that "I thought that we needed that kind of symbol, that we needed, as a people, something that everyone instantly understands..."
Most humans, particularly those in crisis, long for somewhere safe. Somewhere to be who we are, love who we love, pray how we pray and look how we look. Somewhere all of our races, religions, genders, sexual identities, sizes, and ages are accepted. Somewhere we are not only tolerated but celebrated. Somewhere we can be free, be secure, and be proud.

Juicy orange and sunny lemon top notes pair up with succulently sweet pineapple, rounded out by smoothly serene vanilla and musk. Let your troubles melt away in bright sunny bubbles....

Somewhere Over the Rainbow Artisan Botanical Soap
Handmade soaps need to breathe! We recommend storing your soap on a slatted or free draining soap dish so that it can air dry in between uses.
- Remove botanical toppings prior to use.
- Don't allow your soap to sit in a puddle of water.
- Use a wash cloth, loofah or soap saver bag to extend the life of your soap bar.
- Use your soap bar within one year of purchase. I know they're pretty to look at, but they're intended to be used so enjoy them! :)
- Store unused soap out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature fluctuations and high humidity conditions.
