This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tom’s of Maine. All opinions are 100% mine.

We’re back with another great idea to bring a little green in your life. First, we shared how to save some money while saving the environment by switching to cloth napkins. Jen at IHeart Organizing also had a great idea to stash the paper towels under the sink, so we started storing our paper towels under this sink and it does make you think before you pull one off.

So, what does this have to do with Tom’s of Maine? Well, we recently started using Tom’s of Maine Wicked Fresh!™ toothpaste and mouthwash. Why is this eco-friendly? Because Tom’s of Maine is made using all natural flavor oils and botanical extracts, giving your long-lasting fresh breath. Ben and I love the flavor of mint and do think our breath is fresher longer. Our teeth feel sparkly clean, too. The mouthwash is pretty great because it freshens your breath without the burn because it doesn’t have alcohol. I love that, Ben however feels the mouth wash isn’t working because it doesn’t burn. Who said mouthwash has to burn?

Now you’re probably thinking, “How will this save me money?” Well, Tom’s of Maine toothpaste and mouthwash gives you cavity protection, saving you money at the dentist. Looking for another way you can save a little moolah? We’re giving away a $50.00 giftcard to Target!

Prize: One $50.00 giftcard to Target

It seems the majority of commenters shared the same distaste for Black Friday that I have.  Not much, meaning not even a good deal, will lure me out of bed at 3 in the morning, especially a crowd of rude people, long lines, and lack of parking.  Congrats to those who are brave (and insane?) enough to venture out of the house on Black Friday.

Congrats to Sondra, number 49, for getting a free Black Friday deal, all without leaving your house.  I think that might be better than Cyber Monday.

Happy Black Friday, everyone!  I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.  We just lounged around and I never changed out of my pajamas.  Gotta love it.  On Wednesday, I shared how you can save money, be more eco-friendly and give you something to do for an hour or so, cloth napkins.  You don’t have to wake up at 3 in the morning or stand in lines getting shoved by crabby people or drive from store to store to snag a set of the babies. 

Prize:  One set of 14 inch square cloth napkins, pictured above.
