Winter staple

It's the middle of winter. Your hands are dry. Your lips are chapped. And as soon as you leave your house, your hair starts to float in the air, defying gravity.

If this happens to you, as it does to me every day (the hair part), I have a solution.

Two words.

Dryer sheets.

They work miracles. I bring one almost every day to work with me. And when I go out on the town, I throw one in my purse. Yes, that's me at the dinner table, stroking my hair with a dryer sheet. Ben just shakes his head.

They work, and your hair has that fresh, just-came-from-the-laundry smell to it.
