Brrrrrrrrrr! I mean Frrrrrrrrrr! Where the heck did my Viva Signature Cloth paper towels go? You know how I am about Viva Signature Cloth paper towels. If it was a cult, I would be the leader of picking out our monochromatic outfits. Seriously, are they gone or discontinued or only an online luxury now? Because […]
