As we wrapped up a meeting the other day, a bunch of the Printfresh team began discussing our laundry habits. As it turns out, we all do things slightly differently, and we all had questions about the best way to make our clothing last as long as possible. Since this was such a hot topic at the office, we wanted to fill you in on everything we learned. Luckily, we have a resident clothing care expert on our team, so we asked Jac Dwyer to share her top 10 tips on how to make clothes last longer.

I’m very interested in learning more about eco-fashion and all the new ways to be more conscious of my consumerism.

Recently, we spent a day together cleaning out and organizing my closet, and her advice was incredibly valuable. I asked Susan to share some of her great tips with all of you.

Leo and I recently visited Nantucket, Massachusetts for the first time. Perfect for an unplugged vacation, Nantucket is one of those travel destinations where getting there is half the fun. As a serious planner, I create travel itineraries and  spreadsheets for each day full of dinner ideas and planned activities. Here's an inside look at my Island itinerary and what places we loved.
