Rae Lynn Glispin of Kidz Comfort won the first “You’re the Balm” Giveaway from Cactus & Ivy and I got some wonderful feedback from her!  Part of my mission at Eco-Office Gals is to support small businesses growing green.  The relaunch was a great opportunity to spotlight green businesses and hopefully introduce my readers to some great companies.   If you won any of the prizes from the Eco-Office Gals Relaunch and would like to give us your own review of your giveaway please contact me!

I am so psyched that I won this giveaway!  After trying all three products, I am hooked!

First of all, I am a already a self-proclaimed lip balm addict.  Now that I’ve tried the Lip Service Lip Balm from Cactus & Ivy, I cannot go back to the “old” lip balm any longer.  I always thought my old lip balm was so great, but Lip Service feels so much better, less waxy and so much more softening.

Along with that I also won the Cactus & Ivy Peppermint Tree Foot Balm and the Butter Me Up Body Balm.  WOW!  The Foot Balm is so soothing.  What a great way to drift off to sleep at night, with this soothing peppermint foot balm under your socks.  I love it!

The Butter Me Up Body Balm was even more surprising.  I could not imagine how this body balm could be better than the lotions that I use.  Boy did it blow them all away.  It’s getting very cold here in New England, and I have a bad habit of taking very hot showers in the morning to warm up.  That dries my skin out so badly that I then usually load up on body lotions.  They just don’t last though.  I have to reapply and reapply throughout the day.  Not with this body balm.  I put it on in the morning under my pants and my legs stay so soft and moisturized ALL DAY LONG.  No need to reapply at all.  I am fascinated and hooked.

Thanks so much for the great products!  I LOVE THEM!

Appreciatively,
Rae Lynn Glispin of Kidz Comfort

I sent out an email blurb to all my wahm and sahms, friends, family, you name it telling them about Eco-officegals and bonobo website. I showed the website to my girls, ages 5 and 3 1/2 the http://www.bonobokids.org and they loved looking around the website. so we searched more websites for kids about bonobos. and so did a little lesson today about jane goodall. here is the official jande goodall site. ( i do unofficial homeschooling with my girls)… and this website made an excellent informational website as well as topics of discussion for today.
