Jessica Alba's new(ish) green venture, The Honest Company, started out making just baby goods like diapers and wipes, but the brand's expanding. Now you can shop for eco-smart cleaning products and bath and body products, too! We're digging the convenience of the 4-in-1 Laundry Pods... [More]

We can't crack the windows in ten-degree weather, and rather than cover up the slightly-burned-mac-and-cheese-casserole-mixed-with-two-weeks-of-unwashed-laundry aroma with a faux floral, we'll cover it with a freshly-scented Linnea's Lights Belgian Linen Candle ($20,...

Vanilla makes us hungry. Light up a bean-scented candle, and we start craving cookies. It's death to our diet, which is why we're going to try out this Sydney Hale Co. Woodsmoke and Amber Candle ($28) instead. Hopefully it won't have us dreaming of barbecue.... [More]

When we went to college in Ireland, we lived in a decaying 19th-century house. We weren't so crazy about the unheated bathrooms or the drafty windows, but we absolutely loved having something very like this Sheila Maid Clothes Airer ($135) hanging in the high-ceilinged kitchen.... [More]

Effortless floor cleaning? Sounds like our kind of housework. That's why we'll be giving this Murchison-Hume Effortless Floor Splash ($10) a whirl. And if our mopping technique is so abysmally lazy that it fails anyway, at least our kitchens will smell refreshingly grapefruity.... [More]

We're hoping that method's OCEAN PLASTIC dish + hand soap ($5) sets a new standard for cleaning supply companies. The bottles are molded from recovered ocean plastic and post-consumer waste. What's more, the plastic was collected by Method employees. The soap is biodegradable, and the... [More]

If Sex and the City accurately depicted Carrie Bradshaw's apartment, she'd have her delicates and hand-washables hanging on one of these 5 Line Indoor Clotheslines ($23). But you didn't see that. So, unless she had some sort of Upper East Side Dobby living under her... [More]
