Design wunderkinds The UnCommons have done it again with their in-house created product, pairing up with Calgary's DoBeClean on a heavy and minty new soap, The Anvil.

Filled with all sorts of delectable and detoxifying elements, the soap absorbs bacteria and toxins from your skin. Coconut, olive and hemp oils moisturize while the peppermint invigorates and leaves a fresh scent.

Plus, you can add this soap to your increasingly growing list of locally made products. —Kait Kucy

Anvil Handmade Hemp Soap with Activated Charcoal, $6.50 at The UnCommons, 1325 9th Ave. SE, Calgary,, 587-353-9337, www.theuncommons.ca

Put another gold star on Calgary’s list of impressive singer-songwriters.

Reuben Bullock just released his second album Man Made Lakes, recorded in a garage studio with producer Lorrie Matheson. It’s packed with four-part harmonies that swell with emotion and arrangements that push the bounds of the indie folk label.

Bullock’s music is best heard live, but this album is about as a good an imitation of live performance as you are going to get in a digital download.

Cue it up and enjoy a concert for one. —Jaelyn Molyneux
