Method madness in my home
Posted by Amy on October 15, 2008
Just last week, I co-hosted a Method party with my girls, Steph and Arianne. We invited all of our Chicago land and NW Indiana girlfriends to get out for a night of delicious food, wine, crafts and fun! We hosted our event at non other than the Chicago Method pop-up store on Halsted. I couldn’t have picked a cleaner place for our party myself.
So, check it. I’m a long time fan of Method products. When approached by Brand About Town Marketing about hosting this party, it was a no brainer. Products that I dig and that I trust…of course I want to be involved!
We spent the night chatting with our friends and guests and hanging out with none other than Danny Seo, Mr. Eco Friendly. Apparently, there was also someone at our party from Apartment Therapy. Not to defer or anything but I DROOL over Apartment Therapy and CB2’s Fall Colors Contest each year (inspiration central, helllooo ?!?).
So, I arrived fashionably late (as always) and everyone was already mingling, eating, drinking and having a good time. So far so good! I love a lively party.
Look at the wall! And the owl on the couch! I should have stuffed him in my bag while I had the chance. Only kidding. There was a table set up for us to work on some craft projects. Danny has excellent ideas for reusing old dinnerware; we cut out shapes and designs using adhesive labels and stuck them to these plates. Then, we painted over the plates with porcelain paint. A couple of coats, let it dry, peel off your label design and voila! There you have a recycled dinnerware turned decoration/appetizer plate.
(That’s my plate before the paint)
We all milled about, enjoying our evening and of course, took way too many funny, yet strange photos of ourselves in the Method photo booth.
To top off all of the fun of the evening, we were sent home with gift bags of Method products. Snap!
Here is a line up of my all-time favorite Method products:
cucumber hand soap, pink grapefruit dish soap, lavender and lemongrass aroma pill and almond wood for good surface cleaner
There’s not a time when these four products are not in my house.
Some of my new favorites that I’m sure I’ll stock up on are these:
So there you have it. I think that Chicago rocked Method and vice versa. Method, you’re always welcome back to our city!

Preserve: My teeth aren’t green but I am!
Posted by Amy on July 10, 2008
I’ve gone back and forth from electric toothbrushes to your basic brush. To be honest, I’ve never really concerned myself with what my toothbrush is made of, until now that is.
I’ve been introduced to Preserve by Recycline. Preserve is a line of products made from 100% recycled plastics and post-consumer paper. Eco-friendly items for your teeth and your home that won’t break the bank. Now, that’s what I’m talkin’ about. I could talk more about the Preserve toothbrush but a toothbrush is a toothbrush, right? It’s just cool that it’s a recyclable product and that’s something I’m more interested in talking about.
Recycline even provides a downloadable postage-paid label in order to return your used Preserve toothbrush, tongue cleaner and razor handles, so they can recycle them for rebirth. Preserve Tableware and Kitchen products are recyclable, too. Just stick them in your blue recycling bin.
Now that I know there is a Preserve Jr., I’ll be sure to pick up one for my toddler. You’re never to young to learn how to take care of our planet.
