There are some items that are essential to our home. They are the items that are automatic buys at the grocery store when you run out of them, or the things we don’t even really think about that we use all the time. One of those essential items is trash bags. And one of our favorite brands for trash bags has to be Hefty.

Just in time for the summer, Hefty has gone all out with a new line of colorful trash bags. Because while trash bags might be for the garbage, we’re looking to get rid of, that doesn’t mean it can’t look cute on the way out the door. And their new Color Series lineup of ultra strong trash bags is definitely giving us all the right vibes for summer.

Recently, Hefty unveiled their Fabuloso watermelon scented bags that even came in a vibrant pink color. These trash bags were so fun that when we learned that they were going to be releasing another Fabuloso scented bag in a pop of color, we knew we had to have it. And their latest addition to the Color Series lineup is the lavender scented trash bags in a gorgeous light purple color. So yes, your garbage bag will not only smell like lavender, it will also look like lavender.

We were lucky enough to try out these trash bags for ourselves, and I have a lot of thoughts. First of all, I love that Hefty trash bags are not only strong and durable, but they are also stretchy. The stretch of these bags means that I don’t feel like they are going to rip as I’m carrying my trash out of the house. And that’s important when you’re throwing away a lot of things that might be messy.

On top of the strength and durability of these bags, I love the lavender color. Honestly, anytime Hefty releases trash bags in a new, vibrant color I am going to need them in my life. There is something so fun and energizing about having colorful garbage bags. And I just have to say it’s so fun having that pop-up color in your life and your trash bin.

Finally, there is no denying that this lavender scent is amazing. It’s not too strong, while also feeling very calming. These are the kind of bags that you don’t just have to use in the kitchen. And personally, I love the fact that this scent is perfect for other areas of your house. Personally, I’m using these lavender bags in my office and I love that when I’m throwing something out, I’m getting that whiff of the lavender.

If you are looking to add a little bit of color to your household essentials, these lavender Hefty bags are a must have.
