March Giveaway from Wilmoth Farms

Its time for another Bluegrass Giveaway! The lucky recipient of last month's goodie basket from Maylee's Garden was allhorsestuff, all the way from from Oregon. Congrats!!

To win this month's goodies from Wilmoth Farms, all you have to do is visit her shop and return back to this blog post and leave a comment. The winner will be chosen at random from the comments left. Here's what you can win:

This ultra-nourishing soap combines Goat Milk and Honey in a base of wonderfully moisturizing saponified oils, unrefined Shea and Coca butters, that will nourish your skin from head to toe. Honey is a natural humectant, which draws moisture to the skin, and Goat Milk is a natural skin moisturizer and is great for sloughing away dead skin cells. With all natural ingredients, my soaps are hypoallergenic and mild enough for the softest, most sensitive skin.
All of our soaps are handmade with 100% pure and natural goat milk soap, and lots of love!
Goat Milk is known to contain lactic acid, proteins, vitamins, minerals, alpha hydroxy acids, proteins and Vitamin A and E that regenerate skin cells and nourish the skin, and leaves your skin feeling soft and hydrated! Gentle enough for your face and body! Goat's milk also has a pH level that is very close to our own skin's pH level which makes our 100% natural goat's milk soap gentle on even the most sensitive skin types including suffers of: Acne, Rosacea, Eczema,and Dermatitis.

Eco-friendliness: All ingredients of the soap will be decomposed into water and carbon dioxide by microorganisms within 24 hours after it is drained. However, it is not true if we say that it won't pollute the river and ocean at all, but I feel that using the natural soap creates much less damage to the environment than draining artificially produced, chemical-ridden substances into the water. Each of us can do benefit the environment by using the all-natural, handmade soap.

Included:

I - 6 ounce bar of the designer fragrance -"Very Sexy" by Victoria Secret for Women,A spicy citrus blend of light Bergamot & Jasmine, combined with exotic notes of Cedar Wood, Sandalwood, and warm musk. It has top notes of tangerine, pink lime, and bergamot leaves. The heart mixes Limewood, Cinnamon Bark and Sage. Vetiver and Orange Flower comprise the dry-down. "Very Sexy" lives up to its name, its as sexy and unexpected as the person who wears it!
You will also receive a 2 ounce Handmade Shea and Cocoa Body Butter with added beneficial oils in the same sexy fragrance. This Body Butter has the consistency of real butter, yet melts on contact with your skin! Use less than you think you need for this ultra rich Body Butter.

1 - 6 ounce bar of "Masculine Musk" for that special man in your life! Don't let the name fool you though, This warm yet extremely fresh musk based fragrance is one of my most popular with both men and women! A calming and soothing scent that you never tire of using!

1 - 5 ounce bar of my best selling "Oatmeal Milk & Honey"! This bar has been combined with my original Goat Milk, and Honey but also offers the soothing and exfoliating effects of real ground Oatmeal.

1- 2.5 ounce Guest Size bar of a fresh and invigorating scent called "Soapy Clean", the name says it all! A simple light unisex fragrance that leaves you feeling fresh and clean!

Also included is a large 2 ounce tub of Handmade Lip Balm flavored in "Strawberry"! This is the best lip balm I've ever used and the protective and soothing oils and locally harvested Bees Wax and Honey, last longer on your lips than any store bought balm or chap stick you could buy! The balm glides right on your lips instantly hydrating and softening your lips! And flavored with Strawberry, it cant be beat! I cant keep these lip balms on the shelf!

And thrown in for fun - a natural loofah sponge!

Be sure to visit Wilmoth Farms to see all this and more!!

February Giveaway

And the winner is...

Leslea, AKA The Photographers Wife! Leslea won last month's giveaway from Kim Ries' shop The Creative Eye. Congrats!!

This month's giveaway is from Libby of Maylee's Garden, the one stop shop for vegan bath and body goodies!! Her shea butter rich soap is amazing for sensitive skin, and super moisturizing. Here is what you can win this month:

This cool bag is crocheted out of recycled plastic grocery bags. It is quite sturdy and should be able to carry most anything, groceries, wet swimsuits, flowers...anything you can think of! Its definately waterproof and its creation saved 30 grocery bags from going to a landfill!

This "green" bag gets better with an included bag of eco friendly laundry soap, scented like Pink Sugar by Aquolina. This can be used in new front loading machines at 1 teaspoon per load. In regular washing machines you use only need 1-2 tablespoons per large load. This laundry soap makes your clothes so clean and soft without using nasty chemical fabric softeners.You can even use this in cold water with no problems.

The soaps in this basket are 100% handmade vegan soaps with loads of added shea butter to keep your skin soft. Each of the four soaps in this bag weigh approximately 4 ounces, and will last 2 to 3 weeks each depending on frequency of use. My soaps are very moisturizing and you will find you most likely do not need any lotion after using them, even in these dry winter months. The soaps are also totally vegan so they are OK for those with dietary or religious dietary restrictions, and contain no alcohol.

These four soaps come to you in a variety of scents also. You will recieve Pink Sugar By Aquolina to match the laundry soap, Pink By Victorias Secret, Red Rose which is a true rose scent, and last but not least Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana. These designer scents will make you feel like an eco friendly, vegan, tree hugging princess!!
