Last Friday, I attended the first Method detox party held in Chicago. The San Francisco-based Method team is now on a nationwide tour, launching temporary pop-up stores and hosting parties at homes. When I arrived to my friend Roni's condo (she was selected as one among numerous host hopefuls), I was greeted by the Method team who offered signature pink grapefruit martinis, passed hors d'oeuvres, and lots of product placement throughout Roni's home.

Every room I went into, there were relevant Method products - for kitchen and bath, hardwood, baby, etc. At the end of the night each of us was sent home with a shopping bag full of those products, coupons, an American Apparel t-shirt, and a promo pack on the company's philosophy.
Although I have gone in and out of using Method products for years (not because I didn't like them, only because I'm not as much a creature of habit as I would like to be), the non-hard sell has piqued our interest and admiration in this company again. Plus, the great thing about this type of advertising is that it's all word-of-mouth.


I also received a copy of Squeaky Green, written by the Method founders with foreword by Danny Seo - I plan to scour it thoroughly and report back!

Am I the only person who has had a terrible allergic reaction to Method's hand soap? (Mind you, I have no reaction to brands like Softsoap.) It really made me wonder what's in it.

Haven't had any problems with any of their products and I have pretty sensitive skin.

I don't know... method with all their fake candy colored products seems like a bunch of marketing hype to me.

American's Test Kitchen tested dishwashing soap and Method came on top for being able to cut through grease. Yay Method!
