Laundry stinks.  Figuratively and literally.

Laundry especially REALLY stinks.

This is laundry.  A lot of it.  It’s not mine.  I neither know who’s it is nor where the picture came from.

Chances are…you may have your own  laundry pile.   Life gets busy and laundry doesn’t relent.

I am going to assume that the person that owns that laundry pile above had to give in and tackle it at some point…someone needed a uniform or some other unmentionable.

If it were my laundry and I had to fold all of that, I would have flipped on Oprah.  If it were my laundry and I were folding all of it and Oprah could see through the TV, Oprah would have flipped…and possibly said to me…”What were you thinking, Letting it get to this point?”

But I don’t have to worry about judgement, remember, Not my laundry.

I’m also going to assume that the person tasked with the chore, wished it wasn’t such a chore.

I would guess that it took an hour to fold ALL of that pile and that at 30 minutes, a  dear husband probably walked by with an arched eyebrow and said,

“What are you doing?”

To which the wife may have leered at him and then sweetly said,

“Folding laundry, Why don’t you join in, honey.”

To which he may have replied,

“I’ll be right back honey, I’m going to take out the trash.”

Touche!

And finally, I will assume that the person tasked with the job wished there were something that could make the chore a little more enjoyable.

And then something wonderful happens, I receive a bag of Baby Bee Buttermilk laundry detergent from The Peaceful Housewife.

My olfactory senses have died and gone to heaven.

And it’s at this point that I have an admission.

I admit that the laundry above belongs to me. (And the dear husband.)

Full disclosure because I WANT to do my laundry with this amazing scent.

I don’t know why I never thought about laundry detergent smelling good.  (I also don’t know why I have SO much laundry.  I digress.)

By good I mean not the warehouse size 40 gallons of detergent smell.  I mean smell good like it takes me away to another place good.  Which is good.  Because when I have THAT much laundry… (i.e. every week)…I need something to take me away.

And Calgon cannot help with my laundry issues.

Take a look at some of the scents that can take you and me away that we can wash our clothes in:

Birthday Cake- You’ve never smelled a butter cream cupcake fragrance like this one!  This wonderful fragrance begins with top notes of churned whipped butter, blonde sugar cane; followed by middle notes of Madagascar vanilla and maple; well-rounded with a dry base note of vanilla extract.  Beware to all dieters, this one will make you very hungry!

Butt Naked – A tantalizing base note medley of granny smith apples and honeydew melon, middle notes of strawberries and pears, with hints of spice.

Coconut Lime Verbena - Very fresh! A citrus bouquet of lime, kumquat, grapefruit, lemon, with a soft floral undertone of jasmine, on a background of musk and sandalwood.

Lavender Vanilla - This calming combination will help all of the chaos and stress of your day fade away.

Pink Sugar - A fruity blend of cotton candy, lemon drops, caramel and raspberry jam on a dry down of musks.

Sun Ripened Fruit - Fruit salad of orange, strawberry, apple and grapes; sprinkled with shaved coconut.

The Peaceful Housewife sells handmade, natural, eco-friendly household cleaning products, such as laundry soap, hand and dish soap and spray cleaners.  All of their products are custom made for you in using high-quality ingredients.

Other than laundry deteregent, they have a full line of products that include diaper pail freshener, room & linen spray…foaming hand soap (I recommend Pink Sugar), scouring powder, furniture and wood polish, multipurpose cleaning spray and glass cleaner. All are available with custom scents except those last 2 which are already formulated perfectly for your use.

It would make me feel so much better if you made any admission of your own.  Laundry.  What is the worst part for you?  Washing? Folding? Putting it away?  What scent would take you away to another place?

The Peaceful Housewife is giving away one $20.00 gift credit to one of my Blog readers.  All ya gotta do to be entered is to comment on your laundry woes and/or what scent you need to make the chore a better experience.
