good morning my sweets! i have such a special treat for you today!! yay i'm excited!
my dear friend emily {also amazing mother, wife, sister, daughter, awe inspiring yogi, multi-talented healthy living extraordinaire!} creates THE BEST body care products i've ever tried! her shop on etsy is Colors of my Garden, and i can already tell her business is going to be such a success because her products are beyond brilliant. everyday i use the sage oat soap, the wake up call coffee vanilla scrub, and the vegan body butter (with lavender and vanilla) and i go to heaven. seriously, i now light candles in the shower and dive deep into the all natural aromatherapeutic goodness. best part is, because the ingredients are 100% organic and natural, you can eat them them if you want! i took a bite of the coffee scrub, felt like a weirdo, and still wanted to keep eating. hehe, it's awesome. that's how you really know it's safe to put on your body, because your body does absorb what you put on it. our skin is our biggest organ, so we have to be be super careful about what products we use. our bathing rituals are basically food for our skin.
you also might recognize emily, she is one of purusha's beautiful models.
to enter the Colors of my Garden giveaway, comment below and let me know what essential oils you would choose for your organic body butter. for an extra entry 'like' Colors of my Garden on facebook, and mention in your comment that you liked the page! giveaway ends next wednesday, december 5th. winner announced thursday, december 6th! good luck! have a beautiful, natural, and peaceful day!
My body butter would definitely have to include lavender, but also something more energizing like ginger or some kind of citrus zest. That might be gross though! I'm already a "liker" of Colors of my Garden on Facebook and looking forward to picking up a custom order that Emily made for me this weekend!
ReplyDeleteThese products look awesome! I like her FB page...the essential oil variety is overwhelming!!! Personally, I am a fan of neroli and rose :)

Hi Hayley! I think its so awesome that you and Emily are doing this giveaway! :) I'm so happy to know that the body butter is vegan too. I love the combination of lavendar with vanilla. I also love sandalwood and bergamot blended together, so lovely! I liked Emilys page on my facebook as well.

Emily's products are great! I liked her page. I always use natural lotions and creams and would probably try Ginger Bergamot.
ReplyDeletemmm i love earthy oils, like vetiver and patchouli! although they can be strong, they are so grounding! Sandalwood is a longtime favorite of mine as well! Both of you ladies have amazing shops, thanks for sharing your light with the world!! <3 erin
ReplyDeleteps. i liked colors of my garden on FB :)
ReplyDeleteoh, i love this and her stuff is so affordable! i'd definitely get eucalyptus and whatever she recommends to pair with that :)
ReplyDeleteSounds divine and thanks for the recommendation! I'd try anything as long as it's not too perfume-y. Oh, and I liked on facebook!
ReplyDeleteIf I get picked, I'd take Neroli and Ylang Ylang, unless if the artist would like to make her special blend, I'd trust her creation. I would LOVE to get one of these. Thanks for letting me know about her store! Soraya
ReplyDeleteLiked on Facebook! I think I'd choose ginger and vanilla....although they all sound great!! It's hard to choose.
ReplyDeleteLiked on Facebook. I've been looking for natural body products, and haven't been thrilled with the things I get from Trader Joes; so many of them still have so many ingredients that are very chemical-sounding! I would definitely choose lavender vanilla- such a soothing combo!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Veronica C.
I would try the citrus and I liek you on FB!

OOO what a treat! Perfect for the harshness of the winter air now, my skin has been getting kissed by the wind a little too harshly haha Each of these creations sound devine.. what a wonderful talent to be sharing with the world :) And this talent comes with a conscience! If I had to pick one.. I think I'd pick a little adventurously and go with an orange and neroli combination. Seems like something that would help warm the soul and remind me that summer is still out there, somewhere! Although I'm sure Emily would know best what concoction would deliver that result haha Funnily enough, Emily's stunning photographs in the Dali's Rose pants inspired me to order them about a year ago! All of my friends know them as my "happy pants"...it's impossible to have a bad day with those babies on! Definitely liked the Colors of My Garden page on fb. Much love and warmth, namaste <3 Alexandra
ReplyDeleteHiya Hayley!
ReplyDeleteFirstly, I think it's wonderful you both are teaming up and that she's offering a giveaway. :) Thank you for letting us know that you could potentially eat this stuff... what you said completely struck my heart strings. That is so important to me! Knowing what I wear and put on my body is safe and eco friendly. Anyways, I liked her on FB. :)
With Gratitude,
Sitara Bird
I would use sandalwood, rose and vanilla in a body butter. I liked the page and I'm a so geeked to buy myself a christmas present :) Thank you~
ReplyDeleteI must concur with Emily's friend, not only because I am the most fortunate mother of such a beautiful spirit, but that she is also my best friend. I am thrilled that she is benefitting all of us with her vast knowledge of healthy living and demonstrating to each and every one of us the importance of loving ourselves enough to take the very best care of our bodies, minds and spirits, inside and out. And to her beautiful friend Haley, who has sponsored this event, I thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi!
