OR
Big Tobacco and e-cigarette companies like Juul hooked millions of kids with fun
flavors and massive doses of nicotine. Now they want the FDA’s greenlight to keep
their flavored, nicotine-loaded products on the market. 83% of youth e-cigarette
users use flavored products, including over one million kids who use menthol
products. With a September 9 deadline to act, the FDA has one last chance to
eliminate ALL flavored e-cigarettes – including menthol – and protect our kids.

Just because the laundry room is the ultimate utilitarian space doesn’t mean it has to look the part. Whether
you have a separate room, a closet or just a corner in your basement for your washer and dryer, there are ways
to keep the space tidy and aesthetically pleasing. ¶ That’s designer Brigette Romanek’s sweet spot. ¶ “It’s
this idea that I have all of these ingredients and put them in a pot and hopefully come out with a good meal,”
says Romanek, the owner and principal designer at Romanek Design Studio in Los Angeles. “Clients tell me
what they need, and it’s my job to enhance that vision, to make it beautiful but also make it functional.” ¶ In the
laundry room, that means thinking carefully about how you’ll use the space. Keep the detergents, softeners and
similar products within easy reach of your machines, Romanek says. Think about whether you are right-handed
or left-handed, short or tall, when deciding where to place items. ¶ And if your laundry space allows, Romanek
says, have at least some closed storage to tuck away extra supplies or unfolded clothes. ¶ The takeaway: Don’t
get caught up in trends. Instead, make the room work for you. ¶ Here are Romanek’s suggestions for items that
