Happy Earth Day!!!  It’s 8pm and I have been going through so many AMAZING comments!  It was a tough one to choose from, but there was one person that really came out shining green.  EVERYDAY she gave me readers in depth in site on the sponsoring companies, natural  home cleaner recipes, steps she has implemented, steps she wants to integrate into her green living routine, she faithfully RT’d the giveaway…. all in all I noticed her really stepping up to the challenge for this giveaway over the entire time it ran.  So…. I have made the call Joanna Smith Eco-Office Gals and all of our GREAT sponsors are going to Green Your World!!!!

Green My World! The Eco-Office Gals Earth Day Giveaway!

Monday morning once again! Last week was a crazy week of monsoon rains. The rest of the country had some freak weather, too and I hope this post finds all of you safe and warm.

Another week of pampering your winter skin.  This time by Nurture My Body. Their products are 100% biodegradable, cruelty-free, and do not contain harmful synthetic fragrance oils, preservatives, petroleum products, FD&C colorants and dyes, parabens, phthalates, or other toxic chemicals.  Additionally, they come to us with an endless list of credentials to make sure you are using a safe and eco-friendly product!

This company is run by a husband and wife team Patty & Rich.  I met Rich on Twitter and he has become a fun Twitterbud on my follower list!!

All my products came in a very timely manner.  Since I had such an issue deciding from all the great products I left it in Rich’s hands.  The following are the site descriptions of the products that were sent to me (feel free to click the links for the full description):

Herbal Body Wash

Organic Herbal Body Wash blend contains essential oils of red mandarin for its ability to balance your skin, its natural antioxidants that help protect your skin, cedar atlas for its grounding and soothing effect on irritated skin, and rosemary verbenone to improve your circulation.

Citrus Hand and Body Lotion

Our Organic Citrus Hand and Body Lotion blend contains essential oils of bergamot for its relaxing quality and ability to care for oily skin, white grapefruit for its ability to help tone the skin tissue, and lavender for its quality to penetrate quickly while rejuvenating the skin and relaxing the mind.

Lavender Toner

Our Organic Lavender Toner contains Certified Organic lavender for its anti-inflammatory properties that instantly remove redness and irritation. It is ideal for sensitive skin and skin prone to dryness; it also enhances the regeneration of your skin cells.

I will immediately start with a slight repeat from last week.  There is really something to be said for natural fragrance.  It is such a HUGE difference from the many companies out there that throw a bunch of junk together to try to make something smell like the real thing!

The Citrus lotion is wonderful! Smells like I rubbed down with raw fruit, seriously!!  It’s not a thick lotion, but it covers well and my skin feels very soft this morning.

The Herbal wash is very sudzy. I have mentioned in a past posts my issue with natural cleaners and soaps. I would find that any products that I don’t want to soap up do and those I do… don’t.  But this past my test, a little bit want a long way! Thumbs up!

The lavender toner, I had to read up on this one since I had never used toner before.  Just spray on before applying your face creme.  So, I did and applied last week’s face creme on top.  It was the flowery scent with the lavender again, not my favorite, but since I am continuing to see great results from last week I am willing to add this to my regimen to battle the crease.

Once again some really great products and I LOVE the blue bottles that can be reused once you empty the original contents.

Rich and Patty are offering one  of my readers a wonderful Gift Box valued at over $50.00. Check out Nurture My Body and look around their products, come back here and tell me what you’d pamper yourself with for an entry.  Tweet or stumble this post for an extra entry.  If you haven’t subscribed to my feed be sure to do so for another entry.  Make sure to put each thing you do in a separate comment for a separate entry! A winner will be picked Wednesday Dec. 17.  Good Luck!
