Make the world a better place with Burt's Bees and Colgate!

Here's something cute from Burt's Bees will help you appreciate all that bees do for us - It's thanks to bees, the world's most active pollinators that we have nearly 1/3 of all fresh food we eat every day but sadly their population numbers have been declining for many years.

Adopt a bee today and your bee will share tips on natural, healthy living and insights into how they make the world a better place - I will admit they are lousy at playing fetch and keeping you warm at night but on the plus side you just need to plant them a nice garden to keep them happy and fed!

Go adopt your own bee at:  www.adoptabee.ca

Nervous to tell someone you know that they have something stuck in their teeth? To help promote the new Colgate SlimSoft and SlimSoft Charcoal toothbrushes which feature 17x slimmer tip bristles, Colgate will help you out and tell that person for you anonymously through their SomethingInYourTweet campaign - check out www.colgateslimsoft.ca for more details!

Show your smile for a chance to win with Colgate Optic White!

Whiter teeth in just 5 days can be yours with Colgate Optic White thanks to a high-impact whitening formula with hydrogen peroxide, designed to also whiten below the surface of the teeth, making it easier to whiten as you brush your teeth.

There's an Optic White Toothpaste in 3 flavours: Sparkling Mint, Cool Mild Mint and Enamel White.

Then swig some Optic White Mouthwash - the perfect complement to the toothpaste. Designed with a dynamic foaming action to reach hard-to-brush places, it helps whiten teeth by removing surface stains. This alcohol-free solution is available in a Sparkling Fresh Mint flavour to freshen breath while whitening teeth, and contains polyphosphates to help prevent future stains.

And better then using your finger is the 360* Optic White Toothbrush - helps whiten your teeth in two important ways:

Whitening cups. These soft rubber cups are designed to hold toothpaste to help effectively remove
surface stains for a whiter smile.
                              
Polishing bristles. Help whiten teeth by polishing away surface stains and clean hard-to-reach areas
for a full white smile.

Or be fancy with the 360* Optic White Powered Toothbrush - with special polishing bristles that polish away surface stains while cleaning hard to reach places.

Its dual action head, cheek and tongue cleaner and comfortable non-slip handle create a whole-mouth clean experience.
