One thing that my children do have to be reminded daily is to brush their teeth, especially on those hectic mornings when they are getting ready for school. There are days that if I didn’t remind my two youngest to brush those teeth, they would walk out the door without doing it. I now am reminding them to brush daily with the new Tom’s of Maine Silly Strawberry Toothpaste that I bought for them to try.
When it comes to products that we used in our home, I have been using non-toxic and eco-friendly products for the last decade. My two youngest children have never smelled yucky cleaning chemicals and they have never been around bleach. Although those strong smelly chemicals can probably work wonders in your house, they are bad for the environment and especially your health. With that said, you will always finding me using just soap and water or other environmentally friendly chemicals when cleaning my home.
This month is Earth Month with Earth Day being on the 22nd. Since I believe in going green when cleaning and in the kitchen, I thought it would be great to try to go green in the bathroom too! We have swapped out our regular toothpaste with the Tom’s Of Maine products. What I like about the Tom’s of Maine products are that they are made with NO artificial colors, flavors, fragrances or preservatives.
Well actually we didn’t just start using Tom’s Of Maine. We actually got to try it last month when we went to Lake Tahoe for a vacation. The hotel had free samples which I thought was perfect for those who forgot their toothpaste. Although I didn’t forget the toothpaste, I did grab a couple of the samples to give a try.
What makes me happy about these two Tom’s Of Maine toothpaste products that I bought at Walmart is the flavor. The peppermint reminds me of the flavor of candy canes, a sweet minty taste. My teens were excited to try the Tom’s Of Maine Antiplaque & Whitening toothpaste because they are worried about keeping their teeth looking white.
If you haven’t seen these products, they are not too hard to find. At Walmart I found the Tom’s Of Maine toothpaste products on the shelves with the other toothpaste, near the products for sensitive teeth. Click here to get $1.00 off any Tom’s of Maine product purchase at Walmart.
I have also been using the Tom’s Of Maine Unisex Long Lasting Apricot Deodorant too. I will admit that my husband will sneak and use my deodorant when he runs out. I like that this deodorant is natural, long lasting and is available in a fruity Apricot scent!
Using natural and earth friendly products in your home is just one way that my family is putting in our efforts into going green. Although we enjoy Earth Day each year, it is important to treat each day like Earth Day and make those little changes that will make a big impact if everyone is participating!
Below you will find 10 different fun ideas to celebrate Earth Day this year:
- Experience the outdoors! Take a hike. Go on a fishing day with the kids. Enjoy nature and breath it in!
- Do a Green Spring Clean – Switch out your smelly harmful chemicals with non-toxic environmentally friendly products. Swap out those light bulbs for energy efficient CFL’s. Go through your home and make a box of stuff you don’t want to donate.
- Get to gardening! We depend on our earth for survival so take part in growing something at home or maybe even with a community garden where you might just meet some new friends. If you don’t want to start a garden, start a compost pile.
- A Picnic In The Park – Pack a lunch and some goodies and head out to the park with the kids for picnic to a pretty green spot at the park for a picnic or make it a romantic date for two.
- Find an Earth Day Event near you! Every year there are so many different fun events held in the communities worldwide to celebrate this day. Check online or your local papers and find something fun to do.
I like your ideas for how to spend Earth Day. My niece would love the Toms of Maine Strawberry Toothpaste.
First off I am a huge fan of Tom’s Products! Love the deodorant and the toothpaste! And for earth day we usually get outside in the yard and plant some plants, do some crafting with the kids.
I love the peppermint flavored one! I buy it all the time and the whole family likes it.
I LOVE Tom’s of Maine as do my kids. I try to keep healthier products in our household. Silly Strawberry toothpaste is my boys favorite!
Tom’s is such a great product. I go green whenever possible, and their products work really well.
My girls love the Tom’s Strawberry Toothpaste! Usually, the school sends home a little tree to plant each year, so that’s how we celebrate Earth day.
I’ve heard a lot of great things about Tom’s! Not sure why I’ve waited so long to try it. My kid’s would definitely love that strawberry flavor
We love Tom’s of Maine. My daughter swears by their deodorant.
We love Tom’s products and have been using them for a few years. I can always find them in my local Target and Walmart and now the local grocery stores have them too.
I used to use Tom’s products all of the time – they are great and have a lot of natural qualities to them. There are still some questionable ingredients in it, so I’ve stopped using their toothpaste for my kids.
We have been happy and loyal Tom’s Of Maine customers for some time now and I would not have it any other way! My tween happily uses their deodorant and I buy a few of their many different toothpastes too.
I’ve been hearing a lot about Tom’s lately. I haven’t seen it around here sadly, but I am now going to be on the look out! It sounds awesome!
Swapping out toxic products for more Earth-friendly ones is a great idea for Earth Day. I need to go through my cupboards & making changes.
I appreciate the easy switches that we can do! The Tom’s of Maine toothpaste is a great way to go green with the kids
We love Toms,I love knowing we are only putting good things in our body.
I used TOMS products years ago. I love that you can find the products is most stores now. No need to take a separate trip to the natural health stores.
We have their toothpaste. They are one of the good ones for natural.
I think maybe this year I should plant some things with my kids to celebrate Earth Day.
I have seen Tom’s of Maine. Glad to know that it works well. Maybe next time I will purchase it.
I have never tried Tom’s products before. I would love to try strawberry toothpaste.
I’d like to try Tom’s. I always think of it when I’m reading about them and then forget at the store. I need to write it on the grocery list!
I think I tried a Tom’s Mouthwash once it was in the gift bag of an organic event I want to, haven’t tried the toothpaste yet.
I like to check out the goings on at Central Park here in NYC during Earth Day there is always something going on there each year!
Tom’s of Maine is my favorite toothpaste.
We love Tom’s of Maine products. The tooth paste is our favorite product.
MY son uses the strawberry toothpaste, he won’t use anything else! Not even if it has Lightning McQueen on the bottle, lol!
We have been recycling and more recently up cycling and reusing containers and such. We have used Tom’s in the past as well.
How cool is it that Tom’s of Maine products were available in a hotel where you stayed? #client
