Believe it or not, I’m mostly beyond holiday content now (although I have a few outstanding stories to tidy up and pop in the formatting queue). So I’m back on the better-living, healthier lifestyle, and make-the-most-of-your-existence content.
Since I technically am a Home Editor across our jazzy TMB publications (I write oodles of other content ranging from fashion to travel, too, but hey), I find myself knee-deep in hack-trying all the time. I found probably my best one EVER and I plan to make an entire story/video out of it, but I’m going to cut to the chase here because it’s too good to sit on.
If you have white clothes that are often discolored or stained (ahem, my husband’s tees and my kids’ socks — ugh), bleach often doesn’t do the trick. And many plumbing systems are actually messed up by even using bleach.
New hack: run the whites cycle on the laundry, drop two of these super cheap tablets in, and boom — whitest laundry of your LIFE. It’s that easy, and for whatever reason, this cheapie generic brand works best. I know it'll seem weird, but it’s genuinely the greatest (and easiest) trick out there. Live your most stain-free lives, friends.
Okay, onto stories:
Need pitches for the following:
Reader’s Digest: Best down pillows. I’ll be trying/ranking all the greatest down pillow offerings out there for a list-to-end-all-lists for sleep enthusiasts. It’ll be similar to this top-performing piece on flannel sheets, and I can only use major retailers or skimlinks-ready independent retailers. Start sending those pitches! bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Family Handyman: Best bookcases/bookshelves for small rooms and small spaces. You know the drill with affiliate content! Need pitches by Monday. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Reader’s Digest: Still need more after-Christmas sales, so keep sending ‘em! bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Some recently published/updated holiday guides:
Please note, a handful of these don’t have my byline because they were originally framed by other writers
Hanukkah gifts galore! (The first item on the list is one I’ve used all week for latkes and it’s AMAHZING)
Again, if you have job listings or a special announcement you think would benefit the broader media community — holler. I’ll do my best to include! Till tomorrow <3
