Mail From the Healthy!

on January 24, 2008 in fragrance, fragrance free, reader comments

I’ve suspected for quite a while that the perfume issue was getting out of hand. More and more when I go out in public (which, btw, I do less and less), I wind up coming home reeking of all the other perfumes worn by other people. It is in my hair and on my clothes. [...]

I received an email last week from someone named Ruth. She gave permission to share her comments.

Traveling

on November 27, 2007 in fragrance free, laundry, Tip-sy Tuesday

This came up in a conversation w/ a friend of mine. My hubby and I went away for Thanksgiving this year. Long story, but we packed up, including the cat, and spent a few days in Port Aransas.
