When Nature Clean asked me to be a part of their sampling program and try out their new Pure Nourishment shampoo & conditioner and Refresh soap I said yes right away. I’m a fan of their cleaning products and had no idea they made beauty products as well. Nature Clean is a Canadian, third generation, family run company that makes non-toxic alternatives to household products and that is my favourite kind of brand. I’ve been making a conscious effort lately to replace products with greener versions and I hate that there are so many different chemicals in beauty products. I also like to use Canadian made products as much as possible.
The shampoo & conditioner are both 98% natural ingredients and have no parabens, sulphates and phthalates and I really like them both. The shampoo doesn’t lather which I found hard to get used to at first, but it leaves your hair nice and clean feeling without a residue. The conditioner goes on smooth and it makes my hair feel soft and clean. I’ve had to use a deep conditioner a couple times because I kinda fried the ends of my hair by dying it twice in a week, but otherwise have used the Nature Clean exclusively. I haven’t had a chance to try the soap yet but it smells amazing. I’ll be reviewing all the products on my ChickAdvisor profile and will Tweet/FB when they’re up.
They also sent me a bunch of 60mL bottles of shampoo and conditioner to give away to family and friends and I’ve got 10 packs to give away to you guys. For this giveaway you have to live in Canada, sorry guys, but I can’t send stuff like this over the border. If you want one all you have to do is leave a comment on this post and tell me if you have ever tried a Nature Clean product before. There’s no wrong answer and the first 10 people to comment will win
Also, if you’d like to share your opinion on the products, you can send me a write up and I’ll post it on my blog
Some of the experiences are for 2 or 4 people so you can treat your friends or significant other to an adventure!

And that’s it!
I’ll choose the lucky winner next Wednesday, October 12 at 12:00pm.
There was a great response to this contest and guess what? I actually have 2 pairs of tickets to giveaway to the Stella Artois Legere Ultimate Block party this Saturday!
Here’s how I picked the winners:
Each person that emailed or tweeted went onto a list in the order they came in and each entry was numbered starting at 1
Then I used the Random.org number generator to pick my 2 winners.
I am constantly touching my computer screen and it is always covered in fingerprints, smudges, water marks and well it’s usually pretty filthy. My blackberry is the same and there is always makeup smudged on the screen. (I am actually embarrassed to post this photo of how dirty I let it get)
I’ve tried cleaning them with the cloth for my glasses, windex & paper towel, toilet paper (very bad idea, leaves white pieces). I was pretty happy to receive Brilliant Screen Wipes in the mail to test out and review. Its a 2 step process – a wet wipe that cleans all the dirt off and a dry cloth to wipe the screen dry and get any left over smudges.
So I tried them out today to clean my screen and phone and they worked really well. You would not believe how much dirt came off! I also used the wet wipe to clean the keyboard and shell of my Mac and it got all the dirt and spills out. It’s like I have a brand new computer and I’m going to try and keep it this clean in the future.
I’ve got 2 packages (5 sets in a pack) of these screen wipes to give away so if you’d like to receive them leave a comment with the weirdest thing you’ve spilled or done to get your computer or cell phone dirty.

Something interesting to note. Because I’m in the US blogging and receiving product from here I have to add a disclosure that the company sends me. So here it is:
“I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commissions 16 CFR, Part 255 Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.

Thanks to everyone who entered and it sounds like you had some pretty great summers! My favourite things were going to Wakestock & BudCamp and getting to see Down With Webster play the CNE & Hail The Villain play at the Molson Ampitheatre.
And the winners are…….
Tortoise Shell: Bethany Starr Heatley Ohhhhhh Carly!!! My favourite thing I got to do this summer was go on my first plane ride ever, to Banff, to a beautiful resort in the mountains-with my daughters! It was awesome to get some time away, but even better to share the experience with my girls! (fingers crossed-tortoise shell)
White: Karen Chan My favourite thing I did this summer? Went to my first concert Summer Rush at Canada’s Wonderland. Although I was at the very back in a crowd of over 15000 people, I enjoyed it very much with my friends. But, another thing I loved was meeting DWW and getting pictures with each one of them! I can honestly say this was the BEST summer ever! (PS. I like the white ones)
