" Happy Election Day! Be sure you get out to vote today. I am super excited, and I&amp;#039;m prepping a taco feast with a 7-layer dip to eat as we hear the results come in. I also am excited that starting tomorrow we can tune out some of the same conversations and terms we&amp;#039;ve been hearing on the news for almost two years now. One constant dialogue has been the notion of being an elitist. Well, I will say if anyone ever wanted to zing me, they&amp;#039;d have strong evidence on me being a fragrance elitist when it comes to dish soap. That&amp;#039;s right, I&amp;#039;m out of the closet \u2014 I like an effective dish soap with a great fragrance (to make dishwashing a little more enjoyable.) Defining great scent with cleaning is quite subjective. Some people love the smell of chlorine bleach because they feel it&amp;#039;s a &amp;quot;clean&amp;quot; smell in their home. I, on the other hand, cringe at the smell and think &amp;quot;indoor air pollution.&amp;quot; Many big brands have been pumping out new complex fragrances for dish soaps. Do they work on cleaning your dishes? Yes, but I think their fragrances smell pretty artificial and strong in a bad way. Ocean breeze is not a scent that really works in a dish soap \u2014 leave the ocean smells to summer days. I&amp;#039;ve never had a fragrance miss with Mrs. Meyer&amp;#039;s Dish Soaps. They use essential oils and natural extracts in their fragrances \u2014 so the scents really do smell natural. And their dish soap works \u2014 I don&amp;#039;t have a dishwasher so I wouldn&amp;#039;t mess with a product that doesn&amp;#039;t cut it. Right now, I have their lavender dish soap at home. Other Mrs. Meyer&amp;#039;s fragrances: geranium, lemon verbena, and basil. Here&amp;#039;s to fresh beginnings.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
