advocate spotlight - cassa gimenez

Welcome back to another method lust advocate spotlight! Where I get the chance to show off just how much YOU lust method! (Cause really, after a while all my gushing just gets shameless!) So let's learn more about a great reader (and commenter!) to this blog, Cassa!

1+ Your name: Cassa Gimenez

2+ The first method product you purchased: Go Naked All Purpose Spray

3+ Your favorite method product: I love the french lavendar dish soap! It makes cleaning out all of those little bottle parts I've recently had to start washing much more enjoyable!

4+ Your favorite method scent (current or past): Right now I lust the vanilla apple fragrance spray, but I also love the sweet-water smell.

5+ Why do you lust method? I started using Method products last year while I was pregnant since my husband got concerned about me inhaling fumes from other products during my cleaning sessions. I fell in love with them and love that they now carry baby products, too, now that the little one is here. I feel comfortable using them around her and I don't have to worry about fanning out noxious gasses all the time.

6+ Favorite word that begins with the letter 'm'? Muppets! I am a huge Jim Henson fan.

And by simply sending in her advocate spotlight, Cassa is now entered into "The House That method Cleans" contest! And you can be, too! Here's how!

the house that method cleans!

...And let the method lust contest begin! Just in time for all you readers to snatch up your digital cameras and get busy over the weekend!

So what's the contest you ask? And what are all these images of someone's beautiful home, you ask? Who could live in such an amazing palace of charm and sophistication? Why, it's indeed a work of art! It's too much for my simple eyes to take in all at once! Please, please, let me rest my mind of all the grace and modern amazement! Let me... ok, ok! I get it. I'll stop now. I'm so jesting with you! (No, really I am. I am... right? Hmm...) Ok, so this happens to be my humble little abode, and this is your contest! (Well, my humble little abode ISN'T your contest, but it sorta is... oh, just keep reading!)

The brand new method lust contest is simple! And it's your chance to win not only an awesome peppermint vanilla aroma stick set, but a few other method goodies that'll come with it! It's like a surprise method box! Whee! And this, my fellow friends, is what I want from you! (See, contests and prizes never come without a catch. Well, ok, some do. This one, not so much!)

I want YOU to send me a minimum of three photographs of "the house that method cleans!" Meaning, YOUR house! Cause you read method lust, you lust method, you clean houses, method makes house cleaning products, put that all together, and you got well, you know what you got! A clean house, all thanks to those wonderous method products! And we wanna see your clean house! In all it's beautiful glory! Or hey, we'll look at your dirty house, too (if you don't mind some snickering and whispers from some people in the back. Ok, that might not be nice, so maybe we should just stick to the clean houses!)

Three (or more) pics of rooms from your home! That's all you gotta do! Send'em in to me (directions below) and you're entered! And you're not only entered once, but your name is entered TWICE! (Oh, and just so you knows, those pics, yes, they WILL end up on method lust! Ha ha! So, I just thought I'd let you know! But come on, if I can post MY house up here, surely you can post yours, too! Right, right! Let the world know about that great little space you live in! We wanna see!)

Now, if you're shy, there's ANOTHER way to enter into the contest! Send in your method advocate spotlight! You've read them, you've seen them, you know they're better than ever now! So go on, send it in! And I'll enter your name ONCE into the contest! BUT, and here's the huge'o news! If you send in your advocate spotlight (which is so freakin' simple to do!) AND your "the house the method cleans!" three little bit'tle photos, you'll be entered into the contest, not once, not twice, NOT three times, but FOUR big times!

This is how it works, I'll write your name on a piece of paper (so that's four pieces of paper, if you enter both ways! Four, I say! Fo' big chances to win!) And at the end of the contest, I'm gonna old style throw all those names into a big orange bowl, shake well, salt lightly, pepper a little, and PICK a winner! Tada! Just like method lust's last contest winner!

So, what ARE you waiting on? Here are the rules:

"The house that method cleans!" contest rules: Take three pics of rooms in your home, which you clean with method products, and send them to me! Done! (Don't forget to include your name, just so you know, it's really helpful that way!)

and Advocate Spotlight contest rules: go here! And again, done!

This contest will end on 2/15/2009! So get going! You know you lust some peppermint vanilla aroma sticks! (And much more! I'm keeping the rest a hush, hush surprise! Cause that's what a contest is all about! Yes, yes, it is. Stop trying to make me tell you. Now, go, shoot! Send! Win!)

advocate spotlight - rebecca vnuk

method lust advocate spotlight is going big, baby! It's been relegated to the sidebar for too long, and it's time has come! From now on spotlights will be posted in the same style as method profiles! (And I know that means you'll definitely want to send yours in, right? Right? Check below for all the details on how to do just that! Hey, you get a bigger picture now! And we all know you're a bit of a show off, so go on!)

Poor, poor Rebecca! She's a great reader here at method lust, and during my Holiday break in December I decided to clean up my email inbox (which was so bloated with spam it wasn't even funny! Aren't you curious how people actually make money sending you emails about Viagra? Yeah, I am too! I don't get it... seriously.) Anyway, after cleaning it all up, I discovered Rebecca had sent in an advocate spotlight like, in June of last year, and I never got around to posting it! I'm so sorry, Rebecca! So to make it up to you, you're the first official "new and improved" advocate spotlight! Enjoy!

1+ Your name: Rebecca Vnuk

2+ The first method product you purchased: I'm pretty sure it was the pink grapefruit spray, although it might have been the sweet water laundry detergent.

3+ Your favorite method product: Currently, the oMop. This summer I'm sure it will be the Method Baby stuff. - Expecting in August! (NOTE: Oh, man, I'm so behind with this! Congrats!)

4+ Your favorite method scent (current or past): Well, I really miss the Rosemary Mint floor cleaner, but I currently am in love with my Fresh Lychee aroma pill found recently at Big Lots!

5+ Why do you lust method? Mainly because I was tired of almost passing out from the fumes of other cleaners. Cleaners that work, smell fantastic, and come from a cool company. Who could ask for more?

6+ Favorite word that begins with the letter 'm'? Muppets! :)

How would you like to be the next method lust advocate spotlight? You can! It's easy!

level fuchsia

Ok, folks, you know how when you go flying, the terrorist threat level is ALWAYS at level orange. Like, always. Well, that's what's happening with the advocate spotlight! Except we enjoy a nice bright fuchsia. Level fuchsia, folks, we're at level fuchsia! Panic! (or don't, just like when you're at the airport, cause well, it's ALWAYS at level orange.)

We need us some spotlights! And I know everyone reading this here blog isn't THAT shy. Give us a pretty smile, a couple words, and you'll make this little luster (and all the readers) very happy! It's OH so easy.

clean sweeps

+ Twitter is back! I'm still trying to figure out how to add multiple twitters to one blog (does anyone know?) As if I add mine to method lust, the methodtweet twitter goes bye-bye, and vice versa. Gah! I swear... I'll figure it out. For now, feel free to follow me at methodlust on twitter, and to follow method at methodtweet.

+ You know how when you go flying, the terrorist alert is always on code orange. Like, always. It never changes. Just to keep us all on heightened alarm? Huh, ever notice that? Well, method lust advocate spotlight is on code orange, people! Code orange! I repeat, take off your shoes, remove all personal possessions, grab a stick of Wrigley's Extra chewing gum, start dancing, no no, wait, that's a commercial... and send me your advocate spotlight! It's SO simple, I know you read this blog all the time! So let us know a little about YOU for a change! Go HERE, do now, send in. Done. Thanks, I really appreciate it! Otherwise, advocate spotlight will have to go away, and you don't want that, now do you? No, you don't. Guilt, it works every time.

+ I've now added a full listing of all method scents, to the right side bar. You'll be able to find all current, holiday, and scent heaven (retired) method scents! Why? Just cause I'm a nice kind of guy... with no life. (Who LUSTS method scents!)

advocate spotlight!

Oh come on. You've hemmed, you've hawed. You've wondered what hemming and hawing means if you don't live in the South... And YET, you can't come up with one single (good!) excuse NOT to be an advocate spotlight! Laziness won't even cut it. Cause it's easy! (It's our mini-feature located on the sidebar to your right. Haven't you been reading all the great method lusters sending in their spotlights! They rock, you don't. (But you could. Do hurt feelings make you want to do it even more, and get revenge? If so, my job here is done.)

Here's the 411! (Do people still say that?) All you have to do is submit the following information (so-very-simple instructions below.) Here's all you do:

1) Select a photo of yourself (you can see an example of the size to the right, in the current advocate spotlight! Bigger is also fine.)

2) Answer these quick questions (short answers work best):
1+ Your name:
2+ The first method product you purchased:
3+ Your favorite method product:
4+ Your favorite method scent (current or past):
5+ Why do you lust method?
6+ Favorite word that begins with the letter 'm'?

3) Send it all to artist@nathanaaron.com That's it! (I told ya it was easy.) Now, no more excuses! (Well, maybe appendicitis, but that's the only one you get!)

goodie box revealed!

Hey all, I'm back! (I bet you missed me, didn't ya? DIDN'T YA!? Well, one thing's for sure, I missed you. (Guilt, does it every time.)

Guess what I almost forgot! I forgot the big finale post on our first ever method lust advocate spotlight contest winner! I promised to let everyone know what Vimie had won, so here goes! Her box included (all from my own personal method vault!):

+ one Frosted Cranberry holiday soy candle
+ one bottle (old school!) lavender tear drop dish soap
+ one Fresh Lychee pill refill
+ one bottle bloq beach sage lotion
+ one bottle freesia blossom aroma spray (way old school!)

Uhm, I think that's it! (I have a short memory span, AND I forgot to take a photo before mailing it out. I know, I know!) Vimie was really excited to receive the box, and had never smelled the freesia blossom scent before, and loved it! (It's been discontinued forever, unfortunately.) So enjoy, Vimie! And be on the lookout for future method lust contests! You could be the next winner! (If you do as I say! Or well, maybe just follow the contest rules, that'll work too. I'm not bossy, I promise.)

the spotlight, it does shine!

Be sure to take a look over to your right, and you'll notice our first advocate spotlight! It's Samantha Bates, luster of all things method! You know you wanna be next, now don't you?
