I am an incredible laundry fanatic (it's in my DNA: my grandparents had a laundry in the center of Utrecht) and I can dance with joy when I find a new laundry pearl. My latest love is the laundry perfume Essenza di Elba, which I order via wasparfum.nl. Be sure to choose the lavender scent, it gets compliments as you walk by, really.

I was recently crazy enough to spend 45 euros on a (by the way, very modest in size) bottle of laundry detergent. ‘And? And?’ asked my friend I, who has the same love for wonderfully scented and ironed laundry as I do. ‘A medium one,’ I replied. It wasn't worth it to me. But now I heard from our own Carolien that Rituals has a laundry detergent. It costs 15 euros and I find that suddenly very affordable and doable. And if there is always loud applause in the Van der Horst-Mobach household, it is when ‘anything’ Rituals is purchased. We even have such an attracting effect on Rituals that our new neighbor apparently works at Rituals. But however it may be, I am ordering those laundry detergents. Just for the eye, it's a pleasure and that scent, I have complete confidence in it. Will you wash with me?
