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!!!

    I thought the soaps looked fabulous. I think they would also make my bathroom smell fantastic! 🙂

    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!

I’m slightly obsessed with lavender and have pla I’m slightly obsessed with lavender and have planted it all around our home. Seeing it waving in the breeze, using it to make simple syrup and just breathing it in as I walk past fills my soul!
Matthew 7:13-14 says, “Enter through the narrow Matthew 7:13-14 says, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.”.
.
When I was a little girl we took a trip to Silver Dollar City theme park in Branson, MO. One of the attractions there is the Marvel Cave. The whole theme park was actually built right around the cave! I will never forget the feeling of descending into the darkness. We had to walk down a steep, narrow path and I could feel the rocky walls beginning to close in on me. From time to time, our guide would even have to call out for us to duck our heads so as not to whack them on rocks that were jutting out. And just when it felt like we had been walking forever; just when it felt the most narrow and the most dark; just when we were starting to get really weary from navigating this path, we turned the corner and found ourselves awestruck as we gazed at this enormous room. Everywhere we looked there were stalactites and stalagmites. Lights had been installed and they reflected off of these formations creating the most beautiful colors on the walls. There were pools of water in a shade of aquamarine I had never seen before and waterfalls flowing from upper levels. That long, winding, damp trek had been so very worth it. The descent into darkness had revealed light…and life!

My prayer for you friends, is that you will look at that narrow path with the small gate as an opportunity. It’s an opportunity to experience the kind of freedom that our souls are longing for. The wide and broad path of the world promises us a freedom that is fleeting and temporary. But at the end of the narrow path, there is hope and peace and life everlasting.

I’m choosing the narrow path. And in spite of the hardships, in spite of the challenges and the fears and the times that can feel as dark as the journey down into a cave, I wouldn’t trade a single minute of it.

After a weeklong vacation, we all feel so happy to be back in our haven. As a homemaker in the truest sense of the word (the maker of a home), knowing my husband and children consider this the place where they feel the most relaxed and at peace means all of my intentions and efforts in this area are worthwhile. It’s not perfect and WE are not perfect by a long stretch. But, it’s where we feel the most free to be imperfect. And that makes it pretty wonderful! 🌱

When I started blogging, he was only 6 years old and some of you have been apart of my community here for that entire time. Now, he's 19 and there is a reason parents are told not to blink because the years truly do go faster than I ever could have imagined. He has become such an incredible young man we are so excited to see how God is going to unfold the next chapter of his life. We celebrated with parties galore (SO many open houses to attend!) and made memories we'll forever cherish. My mama heart was filled to bursting with the joy of it all! Now we're taking some time to just enjoy these warm, summer days making even more memories because, when you’re at this stage of parenting, you know all too well how much you need to grasp every opportunity to spend time together.

I hope your summer is off to a great start too dear friends! 🪴
