this post in partnership with method.

did y’all know that dryer sheets are kinda evil? i mean, they probably didn’t intentionally start out that way, they’re just little ol’ dryer sheets, afterall. but what you maybe didn’t know is that they’re often made from animal fat in the form of tallow. which also means they can’t be composted. bleeck, right? i do not want to be tossing animal fat in with my clean clothes.

so the smart people at method came up with a solution for keeping our clothes soft — they’ve invented the world’s first dryer-activated fabric softener spray. not a drop of bad stuff, just clean smelling softener that works when your clothes start fluffing around in the dryer, all on their own. i’m switching to method spray. in the meantime, what to do with all those dryer sheets, since they are now going to be obsolete? how about a farewell banner? yep, later, bon voyage, see ya dryer sheets!

i spy: a clothesline.

there’s something about a clothesline i just love. all those warm, fresh smelling clothes and sheets billowing softly in the wind. they inspire a romantic, nostalgic feeling for me, and my imagination wanders to what is must be like growing up in the country, or even a european city. today, i spy the clothesline. clean, simple, full of everything delightful. they even make doing laundry look good.
