New Giveaway: 3 winners Heathens Hearth Bath, body, & skin care

It has been no secret that I am a HUGE fan of Heathen's Hearth.


You can walk into any room w/ a sink in my house and find a bar of Heathens Hearth soap. I honestly can't even pick a favorite scent. Every time I go back - i grab a new one. At this point I have more soaps than sinks! haha. But, to choose my favorite product? Hands down the Deep Cleansing facial set for Normal/Oily skin.

Like most people my age (23) my skin has changed SO MUCH in the last few years... not to mention the hormone changes from having two babies back to back. Trying to find a face wash that kept me clear was near impossible... Lets face it... its hard being a girl *ahem...* a woman ;) Your clear for a week, then your period comes... BAM! Breakout... then by the time you clear back up... your ovulating... hormones all out of whack... BAM! breakout... or maybe your the opposite? And get really dry skin? Either way, she's got your back... I have literally tried every brand of face wash out there on the market and I could not find anything that regularly worked for me until I tried this. The Tea Tree Peppermint Charcoal face wash. And now I would be a pizza faced mess without it. I honestly & truly do not feel clean until the end of my shower when I finish washing my face.

Charcoal? Scary right? No - its not the stuff you scrape off your grill, lol "Activated charcoal has long been used to absorb toxins from your body, inside and out. It is used to effectively cleanse and whiten your skin, unclog pores, remove impurities and dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin, resulting supple, delicate and smooth skin." Combine that with the Tea Tree Oils & The Peppermint & you get pure perfection. While washing, I get that amazing deep clean tingle... and when finished I feel cool & smell like mint candy :) It actually even helps my makeup to stay on. I dont know why... maybe she does? My guess would be that Im so clean and not oily that the makeup can cling to my skin rather than oils and dead skin? (maybe she will verify this for me) But it was my savior for my wedding day. My makeup went on beautifully and stayed all night until I washed it off. I was SO grateful to find this product before the wedding.

So how could she make such an awesome product even better? With the full line of products. After falling in love with the face wash, i HAD to go back and get the mask... and as I expected its just as wonderful as the wash. "Bentonite Clay, Colloidal Oatmeal, Activated Charcoal with Chamomile and Tea Tree Essential Oil have been proportioned to perfection in this improved formulation." Cool right? But it gets even better! You can mix the powder with whatever you want to (milk, cream, water, honey, yogurt, etc) to create a paste. Totally fun. The first time I used it I just used water... but since then I have used milk, yogurt & honey. My favorite of those has been the yogurt. It was cool & tingly, yet creamy, and rinsed really clean. I skin Looked cleaner, felt cleaner and it even minimized my pores & black heads... Best of all? Hubby loves it too! He said... "my skin feels so soft and smooth!" he was right... it really did!

The newest part to my skin care has been the Toner. Its been a really great & simple addition to help take care of my skin... I just dab it onto my face and neck using a cotton pad or ball when I get out after I wash my face in the shower. Keep in mind... " if used in the morning, this toner needs to be followed by a moisturizer with sunscreen"

So that it folks - the whole 3 piece line up... and it couldn't be any better. But when if comes to something like this, you can't just take my word for it, you need to try it. I have turned SO MANY people onto this facial regimen who love it as well. And this week you get a chance to win it! Not just one of you... but THREE of you!

Newest giveaway: Punk Medics Vegan Travel Set

Alrighty - now how cool is this.
Punk Medics has always been an awesome advertiser for the blog...
You can see their icon in the side bar almost ALWAYS...
When I first saw their icon, I was totally drawn in...
I had to see what they were all about...
and what I found was awesome...
They are a bunch of Canadians hand making VEGAN skin care products.
I had to try it...
and lucky for me they wanted to let me...
and lucky for you they were into the idea of a giveaway!
YAY-ness all around...


They make everything from Shampoo & conditioner...
to face wash... body wash... and every "area" in between...
Now, another thing that totally amazed me...
was their line of tattoo/piercing care...
I have never seen anything like this before...
Leave it to Punk Medics to find their niche.
The have an Organic Jewelry Cleaner...
A Vegan Piercing Care Spray...
and a Tattoo Barrier Cream for healing in a tattoo.
And best of all... does anyone reading this have stretched lobes?
I do... and lets be honest... no matter how hard i try to keep them clean...
they always smell weird... bluh.
But Punk Medics has the solution...
They have this awesome Holey Butt'r Balm...

"Holey Butt'r is a premium ear care crème to maintain stretched ear lobes...
Contains a natural blend of emollients and moisturizers including:
Karanja oil, Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, and Soy wax."
It has all the good stuff our smelly lobes need to stay fresh, hahahaha...

Got Road Rash?
They have you covered there too with their Skid Top balm & spray...
"SkidStop Spray is an all vegan antiseptic wash that cleanses
and soothes road rash without stinging. An organic plant extract,
with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and analgesic properties."
