It's April. Thank GOD. You've made it through the winter holidays and then the spring ones. A sigh of relief-- then the IRS rears its ugly head. The paralyzing panic only lasts until the moment you simply accept that you must spend a good chunk of time, a few workdays at least, on yet another mundane adult task.

The "What Is This Stuff, Anyway?" Laundry Supply
Not only do dryer sheets contain toxic chemicals (this Scientific American post explains just what's so bad about them), but they're also an unnecessary laundry expense. There are cheaper, safer alternatives, depending on why you use the sheets. If you just like the scent, toss a lavender sachet into the dryer with your clothes or linens.
