March Give Away!

Many people have asked me if I actually use the Norwex products in my home. And the answer is definitely yes! Over the next few months, I will write about how and where I use various products in my life. Feel free to comment on your experience with the products or ask me to talk about a specific product that you're interested in. I will then be giving away some of my favourite products...so stay tuned!

So to start, I thought I would talk about basic personal care items. There are a few things everyone needs to do...wash, use deodorant and brush your teeth. Not surprisingly, Norwex has products that can help you with these tasks.

First, everyone needs to wash. I use the Antibac Body Pack face cloth to wash my face before bed. You can also use them in the shower to help exfoliate. I've reviewed this product before, so I won't go into the details on how great this product is!!!

Second, using deodorant is a must (in my opinion!) There are many brands of antiperspirants and deodorants on the market today...but many of them contain aluminum, which is dangerous to your health. It is linked to Alzheimer's, brain defects and a possible link to breast cancer. See this link for a full article. The Norwex Crystal Deodorant is just a mineral salt which counteracts the bacteria that cause body odour. It contains no aluminum and no artificial fragrances. I use the Spray version, but the 2009 catalogue has a rock version. I absolutely love it! I am dry and odour free for the day! If you are prone to a lot of sweating, the Crystal deodorant is not designed to stop sweat,

Finally, we all have to brush our teeth. A traditional toothbrush does an adequate job of cleaning your teeth..but when you're done brushing, any bacteria on the toothbrush just sits and waits until the next time you go to clean your teeth. And sometimes you can taste your previous meal when you go to brush your teeth...this is what disgusts me most!!

With the SilverCare toothbrush, I feel like I've just come from the dentist each time I brush my teeth. The toothbrush head is made of microfiber bristles designed to clean your teeth very well. The bristles are covered with silver, so that when you are done brushing your teeth, any bacteria left on the toothbrush will be destroyed before you go to brush your teeth the next time. This is especially great when you're sick...you don't end up reinfecting yourself with your toothbrush! And the other great thing about this toothbrush, is that each head will last up to 6 months (unless you scrub your teeth hard enough that the bristles fan out), and then you just need to replace the head...not the whole toothbrush. A great way to reduce our impact on the environment and save you money!

So for the month of March, I am giving away one SilverCare toothbrush. Just send me an email to jillpletsch@sympatico.ca or post a comment on the blog for your chance to win! I will choose the winner on March 31st.
