Eco Natural Soap Giveaway!

We are so excited about this giveaway!
When Alicia and Alan of Eco Natural Soap contacted us with the opportunity to review their products and host a giveaway we immediately jumped at the chance.
And why not? 
This incredible couple took a risk and launched their amazing company in 2009 and “now have more than 100 products and growing, selling at 95 local dealers which include 
almost every health food store in their area.
The entire product line is formulated with 100% pure, natural, organic ingredients.”
Take a look at just a small sampling of what they have available in their online store!
Exotic Butters Luxury Dry Skin Balm (Lemon Rosemary)
Exotic Butters Dry Skin Relief Balm (Lemon Rosemary)
Mineral Makeup
Foundation/Concealer LIGHT_WARM
Lip Relief All Natural Lip Balm (Island Lime)
“Lip Relief” All Natural Lip Balm (Lime)
Pet Shampoo & Coat Conditioner Soap
Pet Shampoo and Coat Conditioner Soap
After drawing straws it was decided that Vanessa would have the chance to try out some of their products.
Rough job huh?
First of all, just getting the box in the mail was quite a treat since it made the entire mailbox smell like the inside of a luxury spa!
DSC_0401-001
 And it was so much fun to sample all of these amazing products.
Again, rough job but someone has to do it.
Vanessa has been using the lip balm every night before going to bed and has noticed how much softer and less dry her lips feel in the morning. All the better for kissing her kiddos! Oh, and her hubby too, of course!
The Back Pain Relief balm has become a favorite also and is helping to relieve her “Blogger-itis”…you know…the aches and pains that come from frequent clicks of the mouse and long stretches of immobility.
Do you suffer from that too?
We are certain this syndrome will be added to the medical journals in the very near future.
Truly, every single product was wonderful and we officially give them the 
Picket Fence seal of approval!
 Now, we know you want to try them too, right?
So, how about a 

GIVEAWAY!?
Here is what the winner will receive:
2 Body Balms of your choice
Exotic Butters Dry Skin Relief Balm (Citrus)
2 Soaps of your choice
“Closest Shave” Sensitive Skin Shaving Soap
1 Lip Balm of your choice
“Lip Relief” All Natural Lip Balm (Lemon)
That is an over $40 value!!!

    My Maltese has had skin issues for years (large crusty sores). Visits to the vet resulted in anti-biotics and other medicines. . . nothing worked. I bought the dog shampoo and everything cleared up. It’s AMAZING. I use on my other dog also; it’s shampoo and conditioner all in one. Great product.

    OK, so I went to the website and I ordered the bug repellant soap and body balm — I’ve been looking for some eco friendly bug repellant for an upcoming trip to the Adirondacks, so that was right up my alley! I am very sensitive to scents, so I was delighted to see the Lemon Rosemary products — they will be what I order next!

Everyone is on the upside, thankfully, and I’m hoping we’ll fell well enough to get outside and soak up some much needed natural vitamin D. After so many days of wet, gloomy weather this is like balm for my soul! 🍃 What’s the weather like where you are?
Here is a friendly PSA for you...do not, I repeat, Here is a friendly PSA for you...do not, I repeat, DO NOT attempt to apply eyeliner while you have the hiccups. It won't go well. Trust me on this one! 😜

In other news, the hot cocoa station is finally gone and in it's place is a fresh new look that was kicked off by finding a beautiful, rustic vase at @homegoods. It feels like my home is rising up to welcome Spring and I'm so ready for sunshine and longer days. 🍃

Don’t forget to check out my stories tonight for Friday funnies! I love hearing from so many of you who say it’s your favorite way to wrap up your week. ☺️

Happy weekend to you dear friends!

What a gift it was to wake up on the first day of What a gift it was to wake up on the first day of March and see glorious sunshine greeting us after a few days of ice and snow. This is the month of hope and expectation and I’m here for it.

Happy March first dear friends! 🍃
Our first ‘laundry room’ wasn’t actually a r Our first ‘laundry room’ wasn’t actually a room at all. The 20+ year old washer and dryer we inherited after we got married was hooked up in the garage of our small townhouse. Our second ‘laundry room’ was an improvement because it was actually INSIDE the house but it was in our family room behind bifold doors.

So when we moved into this home 15 years ago I literally jumped up and down when I saw this real laundry room. Never mind that it had dated counters and an old stained sink. It was an actual room!

We made minor updates to it over the years but other, more visible, spaces took priority so we spent our resources on beautifying those.

But, last summer, we finally had new counters installed and made a few more updates that have completely transformed this room. 

Now, it’s almost a joy to do the laundry…almost! 😉

For more photos and details head on over to my website using the link in my bio.
“In you, LORD my God, I put my trust. I trust in “In you, LORD my God, I put my trust.
I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.

No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.

Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths.

Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

Remember, LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.”

Psalm 25:1-6
Ronald Reagan famously said that “all great chan Ronald Reagan famously said that “all great change in America begins at the dinner table.” I think this is true for everyone worldwide. You simply can’t put a value on the importance of gathering together for a meal with those you love. But, sometimes, we can struggle with getting the conversations flowing. So for this #tiptuesday, I’m sharing some tools we’ve used in our home. 🍃
There is just something about the combination of l There is just something about the combination of lemon and honey. It’s rustic yet fancy, sweet yet tart, spring-like yet comforting on a cold winters day. 

And that’s why this is hands down one of my favorite recipes! I decided to take a basic tea cake and turn it into a loaf of sweet, tart, simple yet fancy goodness and the only thing bad about it was how quickly it disappeared!

🍋You can find the recipe by following the link in my bio 🍯
“Have regular hours for work and play; make each “Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well.” (Louisa May Alcott).

The sun is shining and it’s the perfect day to photograph our laundry room which got a bit of a makeover. This space is definitely useful as it bears the brunt of everyone tromping through it all day long but I think I’ve managed to make it pleasant as well. One of my greatest realizations in my homemaking journey was when I recognized that those two things weren’t mutually exclusive. In fact, it’s the pleasant that enhances the useful and vice versa.

I’ll have the rest of the makeover reveal on my website soon but I just couldn’t resist sharing a sneak peek with you today! 🌿
A little bit of snow and ice leading to a two hour A little bit of snow and ice leading to a two hour school delay and then a little bit of sunshine followed by fog. That’s how our Valentines Day began!

I’m so thankful for my cozy home and my loves who live here with me and I can’t wait to spoil them a bit tonight. We don’t go crazy on Valentine’s Day but I try to still make it sweet even if it’s simple. 💕

Do you celebrate at your house? What’s your favorite treat?
