Joy and co-host Maeve take a trip to Menaka’s ‘Storical Soap Stand, to learn how soap became such a big deal. And on First Things First, we’ll be putting these items in historical order: kids’ bubble bath, shower caps, and rubber duckies.  Don’t forget to send us your time capsule ideas at foreverago.org/contact Today’s episode is sponsored by: Outschool.com/foreverago – To save $15 on your child’s first class Meetfabric.com/FOREVER – Sign up in 10 minutes. Fabric Insurance Agency policies issued by Vantis Life.
