Sperry Top-Siders Are Awesome. Don't get me wrong, I love high heels just as much as the next girl (or guy, or transgendered person, or whatever), but I also love me a good pair of flats. Having said that, your feet are bound to get wet, hot and sweaty not...

I recently got a pair of Hunter Wellies (matte black). They are thick, comfortable, stylish and liberating.  Think about it, when you wear shoes in the rain there's a fear of getting wet feet, when you wear shoes in the mud you know they are going to be ruined. ...

Our beloved washing machine has officially thrown in the towel (sorry, I had to). This machine has appeared in countless Clean My Space videos and posts. In its final wash, where it made enough noises to scare a burglar away, we just knew it was no longer going to...

Baseball Caps. Most guys wear them. Most guys sweat in them.  Most guys never clean them. Ok, girls wear them too and probably don't clean them as much as they should. Regardless of your sex, you sweat and leave smells, oils and colors in your hat. Keep your hat clean so that...

"How do I clean my kids' toys?" might be one of the questions I'm asked most often. Time and again, my friends (who used to ask me if their butts looked good in their tightest clubbing outfit) are now asking me how to clean toys.  Oh, friends, how the...

Since I've been cleaning on a professional level, I have had a love affair with OxiClean. It just works! You put it in your laundry and your laundry comes out stain free. But, did you know that you can use OxiClean around the house to tackle other cleaning tasks?...

Unless you're living at Buckingham Palace and have a Royal Launderer, you're likely dealing with laundry challenges. So many requests pour in all the time for laundry tips and tricks—so here, I thought I would share some of my favorite ones. Always Launder Towels Separately Towel material—terry—is very abrasive and thick by design. When...

For today's installment of Laundry University, I get to talk about one of my favorite laundry products: oxygen bleach powder. Seriously. This product is definitely an MVP for laundry, and it also has so many other great household uses. But I'm getting ahead of myself! I wrote the article Oxygen Bleach:...

Making your own folding board is fun and easy! If Creepy Carl can do it then you certainly can too - just follow these simple instructions and you will be folding like a pro in no time at all. Here's What You'll Need Cardboard boxes (the bigger the better) Duct Tape ...

Doing laundry is never fun—we know that already! It's even less fun when our clothes come out stinky instead of smelling like they are freshly washed and ready to wear. This is a fairly common laundry issue and there are some easy fixes to solve this problem and prevent it...

  I have long touted the benefits of cleaning with vinegar. Most of us know it's a great cleaning product, and even though it makes us wrinkle our noses, it works! So, it's hard to argue (and it's super cheap). Put on your adulting pants and get over the smell—and...

Vera Bradley is a distinct line of luggage and bags and seriously, this stuff is cute.  I haven't seen them sold in Canada, but the next time I cross the border and see a shop in the US, I am going to get myself a little something spesh VB-wise, since...

Since our last post about reorganizing and folding did so well and we got so many great questions, we wanted to do a part two to that video to help further improve your folding, hanging and clothing organization situation. Try some of these, or all of these, to get...
