contest - clean happy!

How'd you like to win a trip to San Francisco and one year of method products? Yeah, I thought so! Head on over to method's Facebook page and good luck!

upcycle, recycle, rethink, deconstruct (and win!)

Hey, I've got a question for you! It's painless, I promise! Would you like to win some method products? No no, not those dinky little contest prizes method lust gives out. I'm talking lots and lots of method products! I'm talkin' a years worth of method products! - Now, where did I put those smelling salts?

method and Dwell (that awesome modern home magazine full of a zillion houses I'd love to live in that makes me really depressed every month as I peruse that magazine because I realize I probably will never get to live in one of those zillions and zillions of modern homes... oh but I digress (as per usual!) are having a contest! Here are the details (straight from Dwell's mouth! Or well rather, their website:)

"Dwell and method, two arbiters of style that aim for pride of place on your shelves, dare you to defy us with your ideas for upcycling, recycling, rethinking, and deconstruction—beginning with your empty method bottles. We think real creativity is about taking a second look, and breathing new life into the old. We're looking for imaginative creations that give method product bottles and packages a sexy new lease on life. Enter now through June 30!"

Be sure to take a look at some of the submissions (seen here!) They're so awesome!

So get creative, think green, and enter here, and now! Time is ticking on by! Deadline is June 30th! Good luck!

rock star!

method's makin' a music video, and you can be a part of it! (You've always wanted to secretly be a rock star, right? Well, now's your chance!) Head on over to watch this video (it'll give you all the details - hurry, contest ends April 15th!) and you'll also get a $2 off coupon for their awesome laundry detergent, just for viewing the video! It can't get any better than that, can it? (And hey, while you're over on method's Facebook page, if you haven't (what?!) already signed method lust's official bring back method aircare petition, you can now! It's a three for one! video + coupon + petition = too much rockin' for one day! Whew. Take it easy. Sit down. Breathe deep.)

contest! - surprise, surprise!

The contest is over. But please add your name to the Facebook petition, if you haven't already done so! The winner will be announced soon!

+

Why can't you people just do as I say?! (I jest, I jest! Or wait, do I?) Alas, I cannot yet make people do my bidding through mind control, so until that capability is made possible, I'll just have to settle for blogs. And begging. And oh right, contests! Cause when you can't get someone to do what you want them to do, giving them something for their time will usually help things along! Hold on. Did I just say all that out loud? Will the very acknowledgement of my plan prevent method lusters from following through simply out of spite? Nah! It's a contest! Yay!

So here's the thing! You all aren't signing method lust's official "bring back method aircare" petition over on method's Facebook page. Oh sure, you have excuses! "I had to wash the dog!" "CSI was on!" (Really, CSI in some version is always on! That's not even a good excuse.) "My house caught fire and my laptop was inside!" (You couldn't have just ran in really fast and grabbed your laptop? I mean, you can always take more photos of loved ones, but aircare is gone! Gone, I tell you?!) Well, I won't hold it against you (yes I will) and instead I'm offering up a dandy deal! It's so easy a chimp can do it! Seriously, I tested my theory out - at the zoo. And Bananas passed with flying colors. Bananas is the chimp's name. No, I'm serious. Yes I am, stop looking at me that way.

All you gotta do is a) add your name to the comment section on this post. Then b) head on over to (let's all say it out loud) method lust's official "bring back method aircare" petition and add your plea for aircare's return! And that's it! (You know you want aircare back, right!) I matchy-match your name from method lust's comment section here with your post over on the petition, and one of you will win this contest! But you have to do both things, ok?

And that's it! Contest ends March 31, 2011, 12 AM EST! And the winner will be announced here! And just to tempt you even more, the winner will receive a super duper rare old school straight from my method vault product, in a scent you're nose has probably never had the chance to sniff! That's all I'm gonna say! But I just know the winner will lust it!

So hurry on up! Get to it! Or I'm gonna sic Bananas on you! (The monkey, not the fruit!? Remember, earlier in this post, from the zoo, oh argh...)

fishes love them, so do you

Go win some smarty dish cubes (courtesy of melissa ott design!)

contest - arrivederci aircare winners!

I was starting to feel the pitchforks and flaming torches heading my way (if you only knew how crazy life is at the moment. Or maybe how crazy it feels, whether it's actually full of real, or only pretend crazy, I can't tell you?) So I apologize for trampling all over my word, crushing it into small bits and pieces, and leaving it on the sidewalk for someone else to clean up!) Cause here, now, for one day only (or well, forever cause it's a post - or at least until Blogger goes belly up, but then it's owned by Google, so that will never happen, so uhm), for your entertainment are: the arrivederci aircare winners!

(Winners were chosen in first-to-last comment order of who guessed nearest to how many total pills and rings method donated for this contest? (Answer: 33!)

+ she's crafty, and she's just my type (25)
+ alliana dayley (35)
+ gena weishar (40)
+ karin (32)
+ dortujla (25)
+ irene (25)
+ kaoticorchid (25)

The winners who also guessing right on the bonus question: What were the three AIRCARE scents method debuted as Fall Editions? (Answer: gingerbread + spice, fig, and pomegranate tea!)

+ irene and kaoticorchid! You've both won one additional pill/ring! And karin wins one additional pill/ring for guessing one away from the actual donation answer!

Congrats to everyone! And thanks to all the method lusters for taking part in the contest, and being extremely patient with me! (Now just be patient as I slowly mail these out to all the winners! - Winners, please email me your mailing addresses!)

Whew! Hallelujah. No more emails to me threatening to replace all my method products in the middle of the night with dollar store cleaners if I don't supply the winners soon! Ha ha!

contest - arrivederci aircare!

Are you ready? No, no, trust me, you're not! You're NOT! I can promise you! Cause the excitement, the sheer wowness, the overwhelming feeling of no way dudeness will simply be too much for you! Too too much! Much too much! So much too much that the too muchness will become much too much for the too muchness, resulting in well, too much moreness! And that, my method friends, is way too much! So no, as promised, you are not ready.

But you don't need to get ready, cause the ready is already here! (Hey hey, what is he smoking?! Seriously. What?) Listen up advocates! Because I'm about to announce the greatest contest method lust has thrown! The confetti is flying, the streamers are streaming, and the buttermints are out on the table (...for those that like buttermints. But really, buttermints? I mean, you just know you can do better than buttermints. You're not even trying when you serve buttermints, you know what I mean? Oh yes, you do.)

Ok, so perhaps this contest isn't THAT big! Take away the confetti, lose the streamers, and for Heaven's sake, just fill up your pockets with the buttermints so I don't have to see those things anymore! But it's still a rockin' contest! Ok, ok, so what is this contest, already, Nathan? Get to the goods!

Announcing - The method lust arrivederci aircare contest! Aircare is gone. Sniff sniff. The line is history. And it's not being replaced. So what's an advocate to do? Well, toss your name into this contest hat (or just the comments area, it's about the same, right?) and you have a chance to win aircare pill refills AND aroma ring refills! And there will be MULTIPLE winners! In fact, there's a chance to have up to eight winners! Yes, eight!

So what's available, Nathan. Well, first of all I want to give a gigantic shout out to method for oh so wonderously donating the pills and rings for this contest! They ran into their method office vault and snatched up the remaining aircare so that we could keep on aircare lustin' just a little bit longer! So THANK YOU method!

The following scents are available: citrus cilantro, vanilla apple, grapefruit pear, beach sage, cut grass, eucalyptus mint, fresh lychee, gingerbread + spice, hollyberry, lavender + lemongrass, and pomegranate tea!

+

Here's how to play:

Simply answer the following questions in the comments section -
1 How many total pills and rings did method donate for this contest? (Hint: the number is between 1-100.)
2 Give method lust your top three favorite scents from the available list above.
3 Do you currently use aroma pills, rings, or both?
4 Bonus question: What were the three AIRCARE scents method debuted as Fall Editions?

Example answer:
1. 101 (hee hee!)
2. lavender +lemongrass, beach sage, and eucalyptus mint
3. pills
4. (I'm not even giving you a hint here!)

+

You DON'T have to do the bonus question to enter the contest, BUT if you answer it correctly, AND are a chosen winner, you will win ONE extra pill or ring! Ding ding ding! (Hence the up to eight winners, because it depends on how many people guess the bonus question! - And how generous I'm feeling at the time!) The top eight or so commenters that are closest to the correct answer for question #1 win!

Easy as pie, right! Actually easier, cause seriously, pie isn't easy to make. Who thought that saying up? It must have been a grandmother or something!

The contest ends April 15, 2010 at 11:59 PM (est). So get to it! You know you wanna win some aircare! Cause this might just be your last chance!

It's time to announce the big winner of our Baggu Bag contest! The winner, chosen from wonderful randomness which may or may not include spinning a wheel with everyone's name on it, playing a game of Eenie, meenie, minie, moe, and or taping everyone's name up on the wall and spinning in a circle, blindfolded while pointing is...

No! But we are about to have a method aircare contest! Aircare is back again! Well, but like just for this short contest, then it's pretty much gone again. Forever. So uh, yeah, continue your depression jag. But while maintaining said depression, check back oh so soon for the method lust aircare contest!

contest - you've been bagged!

UPDATE Contest closed!

+

Did I mention how much I love Baggu Bags? I mean, we're already heading off to the store to pick up our lustful method green cleaning products. Shouldn't we, at the checkout lines, slip our purchases into just as green a bag? Yes we should! Down with plastic bags! Chant ten times! Now! I said, now! Ok, sorry. I can be a bit demanding at times. I promise, no more yelling. Well, alright, I doubt I can keep that promise, but I'll try.

So, check out this really great video showing you all about how the Baggu Bag works, and even where it's made! So simple, so neat, such a great product! And being SO sweet (and reading method lust! Who knew?!) - Baggu treated me to a couple bags (thank you, Baggu!) and now I'm going to pay it forward, and treat one of you to a Baggu!

Contest time! One lucky winner will receive a cool regular sized (the color is sage, I believe - perfect for a guy or a gal!) Baggu bag! All you have to do is give your name in the comment section, and tell me what you'd put in YOUR Baggu! Contest ends March 15th! (And just cause I'm all sorts of nice, I'll throw in a nifty method goodie, too!)

which is the best green cleaner?

Apartment Therapy is having their very own "Which is the best green cleaner?" contest! So head on over and vote, vote, vote! As of this posting method and Mrs. Meyers are neck n' neck! What does that mean, anyway? Neck n' neck? Hmm... gotta Wiki that one!

Oh, and this also reminded me of something I was going to give a shout out about a while back (I have short term memory problems, ok?) Did you know Martha Stewart now has her own line of green cleaners? I had no idea until seeing an ad in a magazine (probaby hers!) recently! Hmm... and they're available at Home Depot. (Which is interesting, since method is available at Lowes! A little exclusivity green competition, eh?)

to the loo

I'm so behind on this post it's crazy (hey, I might not have much of a life and all I dream about are method products dancing merrily in my head all day; but you know, sometimes laziness, work, or a bit of both get in the way! I think I need a method lust assistant! Ha ha!) But right now method is having all sorts of bathroom goodness going on!

You can download some awesome inspirational bathroom quotes here; place an order for their bathroom kit here (which comes with one each of: lil' bowl blu, tub 'n tile cleaner, le scrub, and flushable bathroom cleaner wipes.) - and use this checkout code: SHIPTOMYLOO for free shipping! Sale ends 2/12/10! So get to buying!

AND finally, there are so many bathroom related contests and things to read, you'll just have to run over to this post on method's official people against dirty blog to learn all about it! (Pictures, Facebook contests, Twitter contests, and more oh my!)

Whew! So get going cleanin' that loo!

method quickies

Some quickies here! (Mind. out. of. the. gutter, people.)

+ No, nathan (oh wait, that's me, so perhaps I shouldn't speak in third person to you, like I did the other day to the woman at the Panda Express restaurant. Yeah, I'm thinking when the person in front of you (oh, that'd be me in the role of "person in front of you") says "And I should probably stop speaking to you in third person." You more than likely smile politely (as she did), while reaching for the red panic button underneath the counter in order to silently notify the police, hoping that Sybil doesn't appear. But hey, what can I say? I like to shake things up! And so do I! Ha ha! Get it, get it, oh, just don't get it. It's better that way.) Anywho, no I haven't left you, dear readers! Life has once more taken ahold of me, shaken me left, right, up and down, and otherwise kept me from frolicking in the land of blogging, cause I just haven't had the time! But never fear, I'm still here!

+ Winners of the advocacy kit contest, and the u review contest are: (Drumroll please...) Brandon Makrides and Kirby! Congrats! Kirby has been really lucky here, as she also won the previous mandarin mango hand wash contest! (And all winners are chosen at random, unless othewise specified; so I'm not playing favorites here! Ha ha!) AND poor Kirby (if you're reading this) has still not even received her hand wash, cause I'm a slacker! (I'm HORRIBLE at sending out contest winner packages! Mind you, you WILL get them, as everyone who's won a contest on method lust will attest to; it JUST might take a bit to get it out to you. I'm working on that! Ok? Less slack, more attack!)

+ The method lust Q+A is now closed, and I'll be sending off your selected questions to the method team very soon! Look for answers to be posted in an upcoming well, post!

+ method lust reader Jamison wanted me to let everyone know he found a slew of method candles (but he hasn't told me where, hmm...) in all sorts of scents! So if there is something you're looking for, he can probably get it for you! Just drop him a comment in this post if you're looking for a candle scent, and want him to pick it up and send it to you, if he finds it; and he'll get back with you! He also wanted me to tell you he has Paypal, so it'll be easy, too!

+ method luster Jean is SO freakin' sweet to me! She has (get this) a small amount of bamboo (oh yes, bam- oh my word -boo!) multi-surface spray cleaner which she has been hording forever, cause she loves the scent so much! Bamboo was one of the very first fragrances method put out in their spray cleaner line, way back when! And she so nicely sent me an email, wanting to see if I'd like a small spray bottle worth to try out, since it's one of my three remaining Holy Grail method scents I've never tried (pumpkin spice and coral being the other two.) She just let me know it's in the mail, and I can't wait! Yes, I'm insane like that. Giant thanks, Jean! Giant! I'm giddy!

(advocacy) kit and kaboodle! + contest!

UPDATE Contest closed! Thanks to all who entered!

+

method lust (and uh, that would be me, Nathan!) is so usually on the ball, it's car-azy! But boy ever have I dropped said ball on method's latest advocacy extravaganza! I bet method thinks I took all the little method bottles and used them up myself! Ha ha, no no. Life gets in the way sometimes, don't you know? (Isn't that a funny saying, life gets in the way, when you're living life, so how can it get in the way, and whoa, too deep...) personal issues, new car purchases, crazy work schedules, well, I'm telling you, it's left me being blogless for too long! So just bare with me at times, ok? Muchas gracias!

Recently (well, as long as your version of recently is a month ago!) method sent out a very cryptic email (see the last paragraph in that post), and peaked everyone's curiosity! And then, a couple weeks later I (and many other advocates) got the above box in the mail! What could it be? Well, only one way to know! Rip that sucker open! And rip it open, I did! And what to my wondering eyes did I discover inside, but four tiny boxes!

Inside each adorable tiny box was four bottles! They contained almond wood for good spray, pink grapefruit dish soap, sweet water hand wash (we'll get to this in a moment!), and french lavender all purpose cleaner! So very cool! Also in the box was a coupon for $1.00 off any method product, and a booklet giving you more information on their lines!

method's intentions for this were for advocates to give out these great goodie boxes to help spread the method word; through advocate's blogs (yeah, I failed on that one this time around!), facebook pages, parties, random method sneak attacks (those times when you think someone just snatched your purse or stole your wallet out of your pocket, and you reach over to find, instead, someone has snuck a method goodie into your purse or pocket! Ok, hmm, I might not actually recommend doing this, but wouldn't that be cool if you were the person finding the method! If you were the person giving the method, you might end up getting maced, so yeah, we'll pass on this idea. Darn!)

So see, method, I am giving them away! Here's my great friend Laury, posing proudly with her box! (And get this, as an on-the-side career, she cleans people's houses! Nifty, eh? I'm working on her, I am! All method products, all the time! We shall see if I can get her to come around to the green side!) She's into design like me, so she just loved the packaging, and was checking it all out!

And now here's where YOU come in! You, yes you, can win one of these adorable boxes! Now, it might be a tad low on the sweet water hand wash; as for SOME reason (call it Nathan Luck) every box but one of mine had leaky sweet water bottles. So your sweet water bottle will be a bit half full, and I don't want you to think I went and washed my hands with it or some such! Ha ha! Apparently I was the only one that had this problem! CAN you believe that? Actually, I totally can.

So drop your name in the comments section with the following statement (in all CAPS!) "I WANT A METHOD ADVOCATE KIT PRETTY PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP!" and I'll choose a winner! Contest ends September 18th, 2009! Good luck! (And thanks, method, for giving me this advocate kit campaign opportunity! You rock, as always!)

live "happily ever after" with method

Wow! Here's your chance to win the ENTIRE line of method products! How great is that?!

u review! + contest!

method lust wants YOU! - To review, that is! Well, and to bring me chocolate chip cookies and a large glass of milk, too! MMM, cookies. I think I might need to go to the grocery store here in a bit, now. No no, don't you realize you already can't fit into half the pants you own? But we're talking about chocolate chip cookies here! Oh yes we are. Pants come in bigger sizes, you know. Bring on the cookies...

So while I'm getting the cookies (see how you got out of that one? Sneaky, sneaky you!) you can write a review! I want you great method lusters to write a review on the new sea minerals spray cleaner! Have you given it a try, what do you think? Let everyone know!

All you have to do is post your review in the comments section of this post, quick and easy! How did you use your sea minerals all-surface spray cleaner? And did it work (as in clean!), how'd you like the smell, etc.? And how many stars do you give it (out of five?) In true one man review style, you can be a guest reviewer here on method lust!

+

AND just by submitting your review, I'll select one person to win a snazzy little method advocacy kit (see post below for details on what's inside!) So get reviewing, ok? Great! I can't wait to see what everyone thinks of the new sea minerals spray cleaner!(Haven't purchased your very own sea minerals spray cleaner yet, to review? Never fear, check the next post to see how you can win a method advocacy kit another way!)

long form clean sweeps (+ the contest winner!)

+ Run on over to your fav-OH!-rite Target, cause the new guest-star (stating it's a limited release scent on the back of the bottle) mandarin mango hand wash is hitting the shelves (Jamison, why do you never have faith in me? Ha ha!) I've got to say, when I gave it a good sniff in the store, I wasn't too impressed. (I'm not a big fruits/foods scent kind of guy. I lean more towards earthy, herby, and minty scents. And it really smelled like mango in the store, which wasn't a good thing for me! Eh, what can you do? I realize it says MANGO, but I was hoping it was more MANDARIN. So I snatched one up for the mandarin mango lust contest winner, but DIDN'T pick up a bottle for myself! Can you believe that?! Ok, so but then it was just calling to me at home, going "you need to give me a good try. Wash your hands!" "But my hands don't even need washed?" "But you want to know what it really smells like!" "But that's such a waste of water!" "Succumb!" and so, I did!

And I have to say, I was much more impressed with the scent in actual use, over just the sniff test in the store. The orange does come out much more during use! It sorta reminds me of orange Kool-aid. Is that a good thing, or a bad thing? I'll let you decide! But they should be in your local Target store soon, so keep a lookout! Cause they won't be around forever!

+ And speaking of mandarin mango hand wash! How about the big randomly chosen winner to our recent contest? And the winner IS... Kirby! Who had just purchased the lil' bowl blu! Yay, Kirby! Congrats! Drop me your mailing address, and one lustful bottle of mandarin mango hand wash shall be on it's way to you! (And never fear, I'm going to run out and pick up a new contest winner bottle! You won't be receiving my test bottle! Ha ha! I'm keeping it, now that I like it more than I had original thought I would!)

+ You can now find some .75 cent coupons stuck on select bottles of method daily shower spray! Check them out, and pick some up while the savings are good!

+ I've been seeing some random changes in packaging, including the term go-naked being removed from the spray cleaners (now it's just fragrance & dye free; and it's back to multi-surface, from all-surface. Unless these were old bottles? But they looked new to me. Really, I can't keep up anymore. method is constantly tinkering with their packaging? For better or worse, you let me know.) And they're changed the blue color on their lil' bowl blu bottles. Which I really got to say, not a fan! I love the subtle light blue, method! Bring it back. Their new thinking must be bright screaming colors, cause suddenly the blue blu bottle is this deeper bright blue; and some of their hand washes have almost gone neon (I'm talkin' to you, waterflower and refresh mint!)

+ Yo' method, I was standing in your aisle in Target today, and this older woman reached over to buy some lavender spray cleaner. Of course I started a conversation with her about method, and she told me her husband had recently bought some nasty Clorox spray cleaner that attacked her nose every time he used it; and she had started buying the method lavender and loved it (all her words!), and that's what she was sticking with from now on. Of course I was trying to get her to buy a bottle of the daily shower, with the coupon (which she thanked me for pointing out.) BUT she said to me "The thing I can't understand is why they will put out a big refill bottle for their daily shower (which she said she had at home) but nothing for the spray cleaners! They need the same thing in spray cleaners!") I know others would love this, so ding ding idea method, idea!

+ method luster Jamison (mentioned above!) let me in on a small secret that Target will place grey round stickers next to the shelf price stickers, meaning that particular item is being replaced, more than likely with an updated version. WELL, these grey stickers were next to most of his aircare line, which made him think the aircare line was indeed heading for a revamp! So he told me to check out my Targets. Well, Jamison, unfortunately, NONE of the three Targets I went to had grey stickers. But I know Target has this weird way of sort of doing things differently from store to store. So perhaps that's what your store does, and mine in this area does not. Time will, as usual, tell... but next time you're in Target, check the shelf price stickers next to the aircare, and see if you find any grey round stickers! And let us know! Thanks Jamison, and all you advocates!

+ And finally, who else has recieved this rather secretive email from method recently:

"hello fellow person against dirty, congratulations you have won (drum roll please)….a box! we want to give you a heads up that you will be receiving a special treat for being such a loyal method advocate. it will be in a box that is shaped similar to a mini pizza box. the contents inside won't be quite as tasty, although they will smell delish. so when you get it make sure to: 1. feel special, 2. read carefully, 3. spread the method love anyway you know how (hand deliver/ flickr/ youtube/ facebook/ tweet/ blog.) 4. tell us how you did it on method's facebook fan page! sorry to be so cryptic but we think you will be pleased with the surprise!" - Curiouser, and curiouser... (and excited to get it, whatever "it" is!)
