This post brought to you by Tom’s of Maine. All opinions are 100% mine.
This last week was a busy week for me, between a major blogging convention and working on getting little man fully potty trained. One thing I made sure to do however, each day, was to remember to use the new Tom’s Of Maine application “Good First”, because it reminds me to not focus on myself all the time, and to instead think about how I can do good in another way- an awesome way to start the day right.
The Tom’s of Maine Good First facebook app is easy to use:
* Simply sign in to the app on Facebook
* Click on the button that answers the question, What did you put first today that made you feel especially good?
- Helping People
- Helping Animals
- Healthy Eating
- Healthy Living
- Caring for Mother Earth
I always eat healthy and do things to help people (I’m a mom and volunteer), but I wanted to try to do at least every thing on this list at least once, so I made sure this week to recycle, to make a conscious effort to buy products that were earth friendly and offered in environmentally friendly packaging. I also bought a small gift for a friend’s puppy, which is something I never do since I’ve never been an animal person, and just never really think about animals other than preferring products that are cruelty-free. This week I realized I was neglecting our furry and feathered friends just because I didn’t have pets, so I made an effort to think of ways to help them too.
The Good First app on Facebook is inspiring many people, as indicated by its popularity (it already is out of stock on the free sample of Tom’s of Maine clinically proven Naturally Dry antiperspirants it was offering to those who answered). When you answer, you are also rewarded with a corresponding badge of honor on your face book timeline and can see what your friends are doing to have a more positive impact in the world.

We volunteer, too.
What a great program. My boys love Tom’s strawberry toothpaste and this is one more reason for me to love their company.
It’s important to remember “good first” because it won’t just happen with busy lives and schedules. Kudos to Tom’s for the inspiration!
such a great program!
I love Tom’s, I need to do more good each day!
I love Tom’s products.
What a wonderful program!
Good reminder to do good every day. Thanks!
I would love to try Tom’s.
What a great program, thank you for raising awareness. So many people don’t understand what a sense of happiness you can get from doing good!
One of the first things I do every morning is make sure my animals are fed and have plenty of clean water.
This is great. I think it’s really important to help others.
I always start off my day eating healthy.
Thanks for sharing about this app, I had not heard of it.
I would love to volunteer other than the kids school.
I try to say hello to everyone I meet when I’m out on a walk, well, if they’re not too frightening.
As we prepare for our move, my husband and I have talked about using this time as a way to do some type of service that gets our family looking “outside” of ourselves … just trying to select something that will work with our little ones.
This is such a great initiative!
I’ve heard about this… and think it is AWESOME!!! =)
I love the idea of this App such a good feeling.
We recycle and compost as a way to help the environment everyday. We’re also working on our own organic backyard garden, but so far that isn’t producing very much.
I think just being kind to one another by doing little things like cutting your neighbour’s grass or bringing a coffee to a friend at work.
Just being there for someone so they know they are not alone.
