Project Description

Jenny Slate likes to take baths. Soapy, oil-infused (and, okay, sometimes milk-infused) soaks before the start of each day is what gets her through to the next, she tells me over the phone from Chicago, where she is currently doing back-to-back press for her new film Landline, in theaters Friday.

What are some of the Odysseus-inspired products you use?

I’ve recently become obsessed with this light blue bar of soap by Red Flower. It’s such a lovely little object; I totally understand why babies try to eat soap! I’m constantly reminding myself, ‘Don’t put that in your mouth!’

There are so many things that happen in one day to convince us that we’re not seen and we’re not heard, and it’s really nice to be the best that you can be when you’re alone with yourself.
