Muses Alchemy Giveaway

GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED...

THE WINNER'S ARE...

#64 Have A Sweet Day

Thanks to everyone for entering!

This giveaway come to you from Muses Alchemy!

There is nothing like the fall scents in your tart warmer to make those holiday memories even more special.  You know that memory that flashes back in your mind years later, and is triggered by the scent of something in the air.  Well Muses Alchemy can help make your memories and your holidays more special this year. 

I'm sure your dinner plans are already in place for Thanksgiving and the, soon-to-be-here, Christmas Season.  You wouldn't want all your relatives showing up to your house, only to invite them in without a thing in your tart burner!  That's a definitely no-no. 

But no worries, cause I have you covered!  Just place an order with Muses Alchemy and you'll be set in that department.  Or you can enter the giveaway below and keep your fingers crossed you win!  But the you better hope luck is on your side.  So don't take chances, just order and then if you win, you'll have twice the fun!

These tarts pack a punch.  I thought I'd try one out from the samples they sent in for the Out Of The Box Samplers in October and was completely surprised by the strength of the scent and how long it lasted.  It was simply a 1oz tart melt, but I was hooked, especially on the Poisoned Apple scented one!

And, you're in luck, because this giveaway comes with 2 HUGE (3-4 oz size) tart melts in a pack. One in Poisoned Apple and the other in Sweet Pumpkin! We have 2 packs to giveaway!

Do You Smoodz?

Take a look at this bath n body, candle company I'm blogging about today! The name is Smoodz! When they first contacted me to be in the Out Of The Box Sampler I had no idea what their product was by the name. But I was pleasantly surprised when I visited their website and find an awesome array of bath n body products and candles too. Of course, the first item that caught my eye was the adorable Steeler Bear!

Being from Pittsburgh and a huge Steeler fan (we "bearly" won yesterday's game ~ no pun intended)I'm always looking for new ways to show off my Steeler pride and this cute little bear would be a great way to do that!

But, if your lacking in Steelers pride, I'll forgive you and just let you know about all the other goodies I found!

These shea & mango butter Lip Balms look simply delicious! The come in cute 1 oz containers and in flavors your sure to love like:

Strawberry

Watermelon

Latte

Grape

Cucumber Melon

& Spearmint Niaouli Oil.

You'll also find great bath n body products from Lotions, Body Butter, Hand & Body Cream, to Sea Salt Scrubs and Handmade Soaps!

I really liked the scented Sachets that Smoodz has available.

They are made from dried flowers and plants and come in Lavender Petals, Patchoui Leaves, and Rose Buds & Petals! They are wonderful for hanging in your closet, putting in your lingerie drawer or even your car.

By now, your probably wanting a little of everything Smoodz has to offer. They can help you out with that too. They have a selection of Gift Sets for any price range.

Pictured here is their largest gift set that includes a 7 oz. Shea Butter Soap, an 8 oz. Shea & Mango Butter Lotion, 8 oz. Bodywash, 8 oz. Fresh Mist, 6 oz. Salt Scrub, Votive 2-Pack, nail brush and a bath puff. It sells for just $32.99. That's a great price and would make a wonderful gift this holiday season.

Finally, if you haven't decided what to get by now, then just buy a gift certificate!

They are available in $10, $25, $50 and $100 dollar increments. I love to give gift certificates to my family and friends because it gives them the option of purchasing what they'd really want from the company!

Smoodz has sent in samples for our November Holiday Sampler Boxes which go on sale this Friday, Nov. 21st. So some of you will get to sample their products! So try them and then run back to buy more!
