A new poll found the average person spends $221 a year to make their home smell good and we might splurge a little more when we've got guests coming.
The worst smells for guests are cigarette smoke, dirty dishes, and pet smells, like a dirty litter box.
Here are the top five things we worry about when visitors are coming . . .
1. How clean your place is. 45% said it's a top priority.
2. How it smells, 43%.
3. Design choices and how it looks, 42%.
4. Do they have a space to sit and relax, 34%.
5. Are there enough choices when it comes to food, 30%.

So this appeared in a Lexington, Kentucky paper near April Fools Day - But it appears legit!
There's a place in Lexington, Kentucky called Elwood Hotel & Suites that's offering "the World's First Plant-Friendly Hotel experience." They're setting aside special rooms and amenities for "plant moms and dads" who want to bring their plants.
These rooms feature abundant natural light . . . and some have already been decorated with live plants so your plants won't be lonely. And you'll even get to take home a complimentary potted succulent.
There are other plant perks too . . . like a Garden Mojito cocktail special made with blackberry syrup, fresh herbs and edible flowers. They even put out a tongue-and-cheek video promoting it.
It seems to be part of a bigger campaign by Lexington's tourism bureau to promote the city as a plant-friendly destination.

Camila Cabello's X Factor audition had a relatable ulterior motive. On James Corden's Carpool Karaoke, the "Señorita" singer discussed auditioning for the competition show when she was 15, when she was a big fan of One Direction.
She recalled trying to decide whether to audition for The Voice or The X Factor, but she went with the latter because One Direction would be there. "This is really embarrassing … I literally was like, 'I'm auditioning for X Factor because I will marry Harry Styles,'" she revealed. "'Like, I will.' I really believed that at the time." If not marriage, Cabello was at least convinced they'd "fall in love," and she noted this was the "first time I've ever confessed the real intention behind me auditioning for X Factor." This audition led to the creation of Fifth Harmony, so it worked out in the end, even if her dreams of marrying Styles were crushed.

Leonard Nimoy's family has donated his Spock ears to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
When "Star Trek" ended in 1969, Nimoy brought the ears home. He and his family have held onto them for more than 50 years.
The Smithsonian even posted an unboxing video when they got them in the mail.
