• Spring Cleaning

    Alternative Spring Cleaning

    - By 

    When I think of springtime, I tend to think of two things: spring cleaning and the overwhelmingly, intoxicating scent of the orange blossoms blooming in the groves around my house. Both signify a fresh start, especially the cleaning out of my closet and donating my unworn clothes. It got me to thinking, are there other areas that need to be spruced up?
