Maybe I get this slight phobia from my father, who nonchalantly offers a dab of hand sanitizer every time we're outside the house. So I was delighted to try out these Herban Essentials Lavender Towelettes (available at herbanessentials.com). The essential oils naturally kill bacteria, and they smell absolutely divine&amp;amp;#xE2;&amp;amp;#xBF;&amp;amp;#xBF;a breath of fresh air in an often smelly city. I keep some at my desk, but also throw some in my bag for on-the-go.
