I try so hard to keep myself from getting sick by being cognizant of my fatigue, both…
This post is 6 months overdue. I have a new laundry detergent I love. Boring, I know. I’ve long been a Costco laundry detergent buyer—get the free and clear, spend minimal amounts of money, and go. But then HEX sent me a sampler pack of their new eco-friendly, stink-proof laundry detergent six full months ago,…
