Adulting (v): to carry out one or more of the duties and responsibilities expected of fully developed individuals<\/span><\/h5>\n

We both recently moved into new apartments and out of our parent’s homes (living the dream…but we are actually serious, it rocked!!). Right after college, we both left DC, Molly to France and Katie to Boston. When we decided to move back to The District, we both moved in with our families. Living at home is amazing & you don’t really have to #adult…can’t we stay young forever?!<\/p>\n

Since moving out, we both had to resume typical #adult activities, such as cooking, laundry, cleaning the house, etc. I completely forgot how much hair and dust two animals create in an 800 square foot apartment…let’s just say I vacuum and Swiffer\u00a0twice a week!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I was at a friends house and I\u00a0saw her adorable laundry and cleaning supplies (The Laundress<\/a> has the cutest<\/em> packaging). I asked her about the products…I mean, I always just purchased cleaning supplies from the grocery store?! She told me her products were better for her clothes, you got more washes out of them and she didn’t have to dry clean as much. I was intrigued so went online and did some research…I became obsessed!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Why We Love The Laundress<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/h4>\n

It only makes sense, we spend so much money on fabulous clothing, why ruin it by harmful chemicals?! Why spend $100 on one pair of workout pants when you will wash it, and the detergent can harm the fabric?! Why splurge on a pair of jeans you’ve been coveting only to clean them improperly?! We could go on and on, but we hope you get our\u00a0point! That’s why we are obsessed with The Laundress<\/a>!! Read all about the benefits of the products and our favorite picks!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sports Wash<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Have you ever been in a Soulcycle class where suddenly you get a whiff of sweat and you have to slyly raise your armpit to check, “is that me?!” We all want to smell great\u2014both during and after a workout. I try and do something active, almost daily. I love to sweat, knowing my detergent is working tirelessly to keep my activewear in top form, helping to remove perspiration, odor, and stains. It is ideal for all performance fabrics, including nylon, spandex, cotton, and synthetics.<\/p>\n
