Valentine’s Day Natural Lip Balm Giveaway

By Inger Jan 28, 2018 Health & Beauty, Reviews & Giveaways 203 Comments

Why does winter always make me think of my skin?  And personal care.  Could it be that winter’s when your body needs the attention the most?

Well, my body was lucky to get to spend a few days in Florida last weekend.  It was such a welcome break!  It was good for my attitude and – bonus(!) my skin.

Hmm, what can I do to keep this feeling?  Perhaps a nice body oil or natural lip balm?

Of course, I am major picky about using good natural products.   I remember when I first discovered the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep database and rating system.  My lip balm came out so high I almost fainted!  And then I learned some lipsticks even contain lead (per the FDA)!  

Products were flying into garbage cans right and left. 

Since then I use a lot of products made by small companies. I love the natural goodness, the variety and supporting small businesses! A favorite is Beessential which I reviewed a couple years ago. I drop their lip balms into my kids’ Christmas stockings every year. This year I picked up an extra 5-pack for one lucky reader.  ‘Cause who wouldn’t want soft lips for Valentine’s day 🙂.    

If you are picky about what you put in your body and on it, check out the EWG!  And maybe the giveaway below!

    Really can’t say that I like winter but I do like Christmas…which falls into the category of winter I suppose:)

    I like how it is much colder in the winter because at my age, I am always hot, wearing shorts around the house all, the time and only sweatshirts out, lol also love when it snows, just not how long it lasts in NH. And lip balm would definitely help with the cold out here and one would say I’m obsessed with lip balms. Thanks for this chance

    The best thing about winter is that it is not in the 90-100 degrees outside anymore and you can go outside and just stay nice and cool.

    I don’t like winter. We don’t get snow. If we got snow I would probably like it a little bit better.

    I’m actually not a big fan of winter. However, what I do like is that my husband and I can typically travel to most places (as long as they aren’t ski areas) in the wintertime without the crowds that can be present at other times of the year. Love that! And as a result, I often take most of my vacation time in the winter now.

    What I like best about winter is that I moved to Florida so that I don’t have to deal with the cold weather. After years in Michigan and Virginia – I enjoy the warm winters.

    One thing I love about winter is having the fireplace going. It’s childhood memories, but sadly we don’t have a fireplace right now. B ut also being able to drink hot chocolate without anyone looking at you crazy cos you’re drinking hot chocolate in the hot humid summer days, lol.

    I’m not a big fan of winter…but I do like the time it affords me to curl up on the couch in front of a fire in our family room, reading a good book!

    I love the winter because of the snow. I also slow down in the winter and regroup from a busy summer and fall.

    I like to walk to the library in the snow, pick out a new stack of books and spend the day in my window seat with books and a mug of coffee.

    I love being cozy inside in Winter. Of course, you can be cozy inside any time, but there is something about the cold and snow outside that just makes the house seem more inviting.

    What I love best about winter is the surprise snow days! Here in Mississippi we don’t get to see snow very often so when we do it’s a huge deal!

    What I like most about winter is the pretty snowfall, warm fireplaces, Christmas with my family, hot cocoa, warm fuzzy pajamas, all the quality time I spend with my family cause its too cold to go outside.

    I love how quiet it is outside on a cold, winter night. It seems so much quieter than it does during the rest of the year.

    I am such a winter person that I cannot think of much that I don’t like about it. I love the way the trees look after a snowfall. I love snowboarding, and warm pajamas, and how everything you want to wear is soft and warm and fuzzy.

    It rarely snows where I live in SC and the winters are pretty mild. I enjoy the cooler temperatures plus the lack of humidity and mosquitoes!

    I like the cold. I know most people don’t – but I hate the heat of summer. Plus summer means allergies – which are so much less annoying during winter.

    I like the beauty of it. The gently falling snow, the branches arching under the ice that crystallizes them, and the tracks of wildlife painting a picture across the vast, empty canvas of whiteness before us. Oh yeah, and I like that the beauty of winter can bring out the poet in anyone, haha! 😉

    I love snow. I don’t even mind driving in it–I just mind other drivers who don’t know how. (No, I don’t have a 4WD vehicle.)

    My favorite thing about winter is when it snows overnight, and I wake up to frosted trees. It’s like a fairy tale! (Especially if I can stay home and enjoy it 🙂 )

    To be honest, I don’t like winter at all. I see in your pictures you are at the beach. My cats don’t like the winter either. My car also hates it.
