Even though the label says "dry clean," a cashmere sweater can be easily washed at home. First, ditch the washing machine and dryer: It'll shrink and destroy the sweater. Instead, fill a sink with cold water and use a light shampoo (like baby shampoo) to give a good cleanse. Never wring the sweater; simply squeeze out the excess water. Then use a salad spinner (yes, the one from your kitchen) to help get out all the excess water. Then lay the sweater flat on a clean towel and fold the towel over; roll it up and squeeze to give it a final dry "cycle." Let it air dry and you'll have a perfectly clean sweater!

One thing a road warrior should always travel with is a reusable water bottle. Instead of opting for single-use plastic bottles, you can refill your bottle wherever you go. And it's easier than ever before to find good-quality water, too. Most coffee chains and fast-food restaurants use high-grade filtration systems and offer free refills. Hotel gyms, airports and even many supermarkets have refill stations, too. You'll not only save money, but you'll find yourself drinking more water. Cheers!

Not all essential oils in the supermarket are actually natural. If the words "naturally derived" are on the bottle, that means the molecular structure of the oil was simply derived from a flower or plant in a laboratory. In fact, the oil may be 100% synthetic. Look for USDA certified organic oils, or opt for scents like peppermint and rosemary, which are plentiful ingredients that are almost always actually natural and not "naturally derived."
