Nothing beats coming home after a long day at the office.

Until you get a whiff of the trash you didn't take out. (Is that moldy cheese?)

Unplug your nose with a spritz of Natural Room Freshener by J.R. Watkins. The made-in-Winona spray uses essential oils to get rid of odors. The new orange citrus scent is like a fragrant burst of fresh Florida sunshine -- apparently it can be bottled.

J.R. Watkins has been around since 1868. Its founder (Mr. Watkins, of course) began with Original Liniment -- a concoction of red pepper and evergreen that's still available today. You've probably seen the apothecary-like packaging at Target, but may not have realized it was a hometown brand.

While ownership has changed hands over the years, the company is still family owned (now by the Jacobs clan) and independent. Not to mention, dedicated to natural products and venturing from beauty (they make the best lip tints) into home products.

Meaning you can sit back, relax, and breathe a little easier.
