Best Scents in My Clothes. I’m Becoming Obsessed!
Some of the best scents out there are found right in my clean clothes. It’s sort of weird, I guess. As I take clothes out of the dryer and begin to fold them, I smell each garment. There is something about the smell of clean clothing that I love. The last detergent I purchased was […]
