Foodiful Beauty Spotlight

Meet Dana...the owner of Foodiful Beauty!    She's a mom that was left dissatisfied with the "big brand" companies use of harmful ingredients in just about everything.

She was "inspired to create a line of skincare products that would be safe from harmful chemicals and created with all natural ingredients." 

That's how Foodiful Beauty was born!

She was "adamant that the ingredients be food grade- that if any of the products were ingested, aside from not tasting great, children would not experience any adverse health issues."

Dana carries sugar scrubs, body balm, toners, lip balm, bath infuser, eye cream, makeup remover wipes and rose water mists.

Foodiful Beauty has been in the January and February samplers at Out Of The Box Sampler, and they'll be back again for the March boxes.  

Be sure to stop by Dana's shop and check out all the great products you could be using to improve your "organic" way of life!

Also, check out her Facebook Fanpage HERE, so you won't miss a thing!  There's a giveaway going on for the month of February...run over to her website and get enter ♥

Malibu 5 Star Naturals Six Pack Lip Balm Giveaway

Have a love of horses?  Check this out...

"Every invention is born out of necessity. Living in a large pasture, my horse continually got into nettles. His nose was peeling and began to resemble leprosy. Endlessly searching for some kind of product that would heal his muzzle, there was nothing to be found. After 2 Veterinarian bills and hours of research, I came to the conclusion that I needed to create my own product. I did this by combining the finest oils and the most refined butters to create Velvet Nose, the first all natural skin protectant salve for horses. As well as the first all natural Equine 30SPF Sunscreen Velvet Nose S.O.S(Shade out sun). Also Velvet Tail cures "Flaky Dock" within 3 applications and grows longer, stronger tail hair quickly."

I love that not only can you spoil your horse with products from Malibu 5 Star Naturals, but you can also spoil the rider too!

Up for grabs is a six pack of jeweled lip balms.  You'll find the following flavors:

Banana

Green Apple

Watermelon

Strawberry

Energy

Mango

One winner will be the lucky recipient of all 6 fabulous lip balms!

SOOOOOO smooth!

Om Basics is more than a bath and a body website. Its is a site for bath, body,mind and soul! Om Basics began a little more than 5 years ago as a place to find hand made soaps and is now offering soaps, lotions,candles, dog care items and even yoga!

Om Basics Products are Infused with Loving Reiki Energy & Healing Lavender Essential Oil. Reiki, is hands on healing. Rei can be translated as “Higher Power" and Ki translated is "life force energy".

So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy”. Om Basics believes that if you would not ingest a product into your body,you should not be applying it to your skin either!

In the October box I received a sample of the Brown Sugar Exfoliant with essential oils in the pumpkin scent. I cant begin to tell you how after only 1 USE, 1 USE! that my skin is so incredibly soft and smooth and smells wonderful!

You can find Om Basics at http://www.ombasics.com.

Bauble Bath Is Where It's At

I've been wanting to post about this incredible business for awhile.  The world needs to know about Bauble Bath so I'm going to tell you all about them!

I first discovered them a few years ago when I ran across a sale they had posted about on another website.  It was a black Friday sale that was too good to pass up.  So I placed an order for some goodies for myself and a bunch of family members for Christmas gifts (I told you the sale was too good to pass up)!

That was all it took and I've been hooked ever since. 

Sarah is the owner and maker of all things fabulous at Bauble Bath.  It is small company located in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.  It was started in the fall of 2004. She believes that "soft, well hydrated skin is a must!"  So she developed a line of products to help you have that, using only the finest ingredients.

 Of course I have a couple favorite items that I'll share with you first...

Sugar Scrubs!

I love their scrubs texture and they are scented to the max!  If you like a smooth soft scrub, this is for you.  Don't let soft fool you though, this does the job very well and leaves your skin hydrated without an oily residue.  I have ordered gingerbread, sugar plum fairy and birthday cake in the past and loved all three of them.

And, bath bombs!

 

These babies fill your tub and leave your skin feeling so soft and pampered.  There are a variety of scents to pick from:

Cranberry Fig

Strawberry Lime

Miss Mary

White Chocolate Brownie

Blueberry

Drama Queen

and more!

Let me suggest the sampler to you.  It's the perfect way to try five 2oz mini bauble bath bombs. Of course you won't get the full effect of a full size bomb but these make great stocking stuffers and at just $10.00 you can't go wrong.

You'll also find butters, lip balms, melts, salts, milk powders, foot scrubs and now their solid sugar scrubs too.

Solid scrubs are considered one use scrubs without all the mess of a jar and scooping it out, etc.  Just wet and rub all over! I haven't tried these yet, but they are on my list to get soon.

Undecided?

Then get yourself (or someone you absolutely love) the Bath In A Box!

Just $23.00 and it comes packed with:

A mini bath melt

Soap

9oz jar of sugar scrub

and, a 2oz bauble bath bomb

You can get these boxes in Flower, Sweetly Clean or Herbally Yours.

So did I do it?  Did I entice you to place an order? There are free samples sent with every order too!

You can also sign up for the newsletter and be informed of any sales that are coming your way.

Look for Bauble Bath back in our October Boo-licious sampler boxes coming October 5th!

In August they sent in Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Milk Bath's.

In September they sent in full size Miss Mary Mint bath bombs.

I can't wait to see what's coming in October!

Be sure to tell them you found them thru Out Of The Box Sampler!



Crows Nest Primitive Shoppe Giveaway

GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED

WINNERS ARE:

#10 redfuzzycow

#208 Jenny Bolech

#139 winterbabe98

#15 Janet Faye

Winners are being verified for mandatory entries and then will be emailed once that's done. 

Thanks to everyone who entered!

I don't even know where to begin with the Crows Nest Primitive Shoppe.  Everytime I visit their website, I want one of everything!

The Crows Nest truly is a one stop shoppe for all things primitive.  They carry candles, bath n body products, primitive decor, tart warmers, curtains, pottery, hand towels and even catnip kitty beds.  What makes their items unique is the fact that they contain herbs grown from their own herb farm!  Everything is handcrafted too.

Andrea is the owner of the Crows Nest Primitive Shoppe.  I recently sent her some interview questions to give us a little more insight into her shoppe.  I love getting to know business owners on a more personal level.  It makes me feel more connected to the handmade market and it seems to make the world a little smaller place.  You can read the awesome interview HERE. 

The Crows Nest Primitive Shoppe was our box sponsor here at the Out Of The Box Sampler for August.  Being a box sponsor can be a big project to tackle.  It requires the business to send in 125 samples and 2 full size products.  That's a lot of samples!  If you weren't lucky enough to get an August sampler box this month, then you missed out on the amazing sampler packages that Andrea sent in for everyone to enjoy!  There were also a few full size goodies from her newest creations....pillow sprays, sugar scrubs, body splash and bath salts!

 

(Remember these because they'll be back a little later in this post)

Don't say I didn't warn you, but when you visit their website you will want everything!   No worries, you can just ask everyone on your Santa list to get you a gift certificate from Crows Nest Primitive Shoppe this year.  That should get you a few of your favorite finds and hold you for a little while!

Or,

if you're looking to do some gift giving shopping for someone else, they have the coolest gift baskets available.

I get tons of emails from people asking where to buy a tart warmer, for all those melts and tarts they get in our sampler boxes.  You will love Andrea's tart warmers.  She works with a potter and artisan to create the most beautiful hand thrown and hand painted pottery!

These are available in 2 sizes too!  You can check out the rest of her pottery line HERE.

Okay, so do you remember what you were supposed to remember?  If not, I'll help you out.  The full size product pictures above of Andrea's newest creations.  I told you they'd be back.

They're back for this incredible giveaway!

There will be 4 lucky winners of some full size Crow's Nest Primitive Shoppe products!   Each winner will get this bundle...

Lavender & Mandarin Orange Bath salts, Very Verry Bundt Melt, Clean Citrus Pillow Spray, Organic Lavender Salve, Brown Sugar Scrub and a smaller melt too!

Wow! 

You are going to have to work for these winnings since they are just incredible!

Cool Therapies Giveaway

"External applications for an internal well being!"

With a motto like that, how can you not be drawn to Cool Therapies!

They have some really incredible bath n body products to pamper yourself with.  If you've been lucky enough to get one of their samples in any of the last few months sampler boxes at Out Of The Box Sampler, then you know exactly what I'm talking about.

So if you're up to pampering yourself silly (you know you deserve it) then go and check out their shoppe and just do it!

But until then, enter this giveaway for a chance to win the most delicious smelling scrub my nose has ever had the pleasure of sniffing!

"Choconut!"

Ingredient list...sugar, peanut butter, chocolate, coconut oil, cocoa butter.

All natural ingredients, and no... you can not eat this.  You may want to, but you can't.

To me (and my son, who wanted to eat this) it smells just like peanut butter cups! 

Here's the bummer, I just have one full size scrub to giveaway here!

So I'm going to make this giveaway a little tougher.  You won't have to leave a million seperate comments, or follow everybody and their brother.

All you have to do is make a purchase from Cool-Therapies (from now until August 2nd)  and then come back here and tell me what you bought, and your invoice number, so I can verify your purchase with the owner.  Then I'll enter your name into the drawing to win this scrumptiously delicious sugar scrub. 

 Trust me, you won't be disappointed with any of their products!

So let's go shopping, then be sure to come back and enter!

(Be sure to tell them Out Of The Box Sampler sent you)

One winner will be choosen by random.org on August 2nd at midnight (EST).

You will have 24 hours to respond to the email that you'll be sent or a new winner will be picked.

Good Luck
