Seventh Generation Under the Sink Makeover Contest + Healthy Home Kit Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to the winner: The Mangerchine's

Recently I was asked to help spread the word about a contest that Seventh Generation is hosting. With one of the grand prizes being a trip to an Eco-Spa how could I resist!

Here is the scoop:

Seventh Generation is hosting an “Under the Sink Makeover Contest” from July 22 to August 14, 2009 that asks you to reveal your best friend’s dirtiest secrets – those hiding under the kitchen sink, that is!

With the area under the kitchen sink as a family’s typical dumping ground for chemical products, Seventh Generation wants families nationwide to know about – and detox – this potentially hazardous area, usually within arm’s reach of kids.

The “Under the Sink Makeover Contest” is seeking nominations on www.SeventhGeneration.com/under-the-sink through August 14, for under the kitchen sink areas that are in desperate need of organization and detoxification.

• Submit a photo of the area under a friend’s sink
• and a 250-word description on why they deserve an under the sink makeover (e.g., she’s concerned for the health of her family and the environment, the area under her sink a toxic wasteland, she’s overwhelmed by the chaos of motherhood and wants to change but doesn’t know where to begin, etc.),

for a chance to win great prizes!

One lucky grand prize winner will receive a package that includes:

• An in-home consultation at the friend’s house with Dr. Alan Greene, practicing pediatrician and specialist in green living
• A one year supply of Seventh Generation products for both the entrant and the friend in need
• A trip to New York City for the entrant and her friend that includes a one-night stay at the W New York – Times Square hotel
• A day of pampering at New York’s Green Spa that will include a Body Polish, Wellness Massage, Ocean Vegan Spa Manicure/Pedicure along with a one hour make-up application and lesson

Four other finalists and their friends will receive:

• A Seventh Generation Living Home Starter Kit containing a variety of home-cleaning products for their own under the kitchen sink makeover
• A luxurious Lavera home spa kit containing Lavera’s customer favorite BODY SPA shower gel, body scrub and bath salts, and premium LAVERÉ Anti-Aging body lotion to pamper themselves.

I am pretty sure that your friend would gladly let you take pictures of the dirty little secrets hiding under their kitchen sink for the chance to win these prizes (I know I would!)
