Funny story:

One morning a few weeks ago, before heading out for a full day of soccer games in the sun and wind, I smeared MadeOn Beesilk Hard Lotion all over my face. I planned to rub some into my hands as well, but figured I’d do it after I’d fed the family and washed the dishes. However, as soon as breakfast was over we rushed out the door. Therefore, my plan to put Beesilk on my hands was forgotten.

Fast forward a few soccer games and a few hours later. I was back at my house, wind blown and hungry. We had an extra family at our house that evening, and that family included a very cute five year old boy. As I was cutting up his meat for him at dinnertime, he looked down at my hands and said, “Wow. You have really old hands.” I looked at my hands and saw what he saw. My hands were super dry and ugly. Old lady hands indeed. ;)  The little guy then looked up at my face. “Your face looks young though, so that’s good.”

Alrighty then. Beesilk keeps my face young. And not applying Beesilk to my hands makes my hands old. Fair enough. You’ve gotta love the honesty of a child. Amazing that Beesilk works so well as to make that big of a difference, huh?

That night, I applied Beesilk to my hands liberally. I now have “young” hands again. Ha!

I always keep a nice supply of Beesilk Hard Lotion on hand for my hands, face, arms, legs, and feet. I love the stuff and how well it works. And I love that it’s completely healthy for our skin.

Now let’s talk a minute about Bug Block. I don’t want my family eaten up by mosquitos, nor do I want to spray my family down with toxic chemicals to keeps the bugs away. The solution? MadeOn Bug Block.  I love it! It’s perfectly safe for our skin, and it really works well to keep the mosquitos away.

I can’t tell you how thankful I am to have heard of MadeOn. Their products work incredibly well, their customer service is wonderful, their prices are very reasonable, and the ingredients they use to make their products are perfectly safe for our skin.

I contacted Renee at MadeOn last week to see if she might be interested in offering all of us a little bonus…or maybe a giveaway. She came back with both! :)

Leave a comment on this post if you’d like to win one of two $25 MadeOn Gift Certificates. Super generous! I’ll draw two random winners on Monday, June 9. Be watching for a post stating the winners as you’ll be responsible for contacting me if your name is chosen.

Beyond the giveaway, you’ll get a free Bug Block Stick or a Beesilk Stick with a $25 MadeOn purchase! Use the code HHJune.  When your cart totals $25 or more, you can then add either a Bug Block stick or a Beesilk stick to your cart and the stick is then free! Isn’t that nice? This offer is good through the month of June. Shipping is free on orders of $45 or more.

    I love MadeOn’s hard lotion! I was skeptical at first, but it’s been handy to have the pocket-sized ones around – and somehow with this pregnancy, my skin is super dry, even as we get into the humid summer. The hard lotion is the BEST thing to have handy.

    I make my own lotion bars using the video recipe one the MadeOn website, and we LOVE it!!! I’d really like to try the Bug Block too.

  164. D'Ann Martin says

    Just yesterday I sprayed myself, my kids, and two kids I was watching down with bug spray. I felt so guilty since I’ve learned over the past few months about how our skin is our biggest organ, and that we should be careful what we put on it. I knew the bug spray had to be bad after reading the ingredients and tons of warnings on the back. Would love to try something better for us that doesn’t cost an arm and leg!

  165. Darlene Doucette says

    I have been looking for a better alternative for bug repellant. for when we are working outdoors this summer. Pick me! Thanks!

  168. Susan Parker says

    Susan

  172. Jeanette Atkinson says

    I am always looking for ways to put less chemicals on our skin and in our food without sacrificing any of the benefits. I think this would be great to try.

  175. G. Huff says

    Hi! Recently , I’ve been researching & trying to make our soaps & lotions in attempt to save our skin from the harsh chemicals in our products. My entire family has seen positive results. So excited to try the “Made on” products. Thank you for sharing!

  177. Karolyn says

    We could use this. When we go out in the early morning or evening (only time to go out when you live in the desert) the bug bites are out of control. My son has decided until we find something that work, forget standing in the grass. LOL

  179. Chenoa says

    I’ve been wanting to try these products. Please enter me for a chance to win! Also, by the way, I tried entering the code HHJune into the coupon field in my basket and it says it’s invalid. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

  182. Kimi says

    I’ve been in search of a good “natural” lotion that actually keeps my skin moisturized!

  185. Heather @ My Overflowing Cup says

    I know what you mean about the old vs. young look of skin. When I don’t moisturize my skin, it not only looks old, but feels old. I would love a chance to try their products – especially the bug block. Thanks for the opportunity!

  189. Rissa says

    The bug block sounds wonderful!! How wonderful it would be to send the kids outside without spraying chemicals all over them AND not having them come back inside looking like they have chicken pox from all of their bug bites!!!

  190. Rhoda says

    After listening to you (and a few other blogs), I finally decided the cost was not to stop me any longer from getting something good for my family. (The bonus of the free “stick” helped too!) My family is having a tough time adjusting to the hard lotion, but I love it. I can tell a difference when I use the hard lotion bar and when I don’t. Also, every now and then I use the “old” creamy lotion which I have a stash of and can tell a difference as soon one needs to put on more again, which at that point I just go use the good hard lotion bar. Thank you for a wonderful giveaway and promotion.

  192. Mandy says

    I have VERY old hands at 28! I’d love to try their products. The bug block too! I always feel so bad spraying my children and myself with chemicals:(

  203. Kathleen says

    I have kids with super sensitive skin who are also mosquito magnets. Would love a chemical free bug block!

  205. Peggy says

    I would very much enjoy this gift! My daughter could use a good, non-toxic bug repellent. Thanks!

  211. Meredith P. says

    Can I have one entry for each mosquito bite currently on my legs?!? Ha! ;) I was hoping the colder than normal winter was going to help alleviate the problem, but I think it just made the survivors hungrier than ever!!

  214. Charlotte Moore says

    I sure would like to win. The stuff I ordered for my great grandbaby came up missing after only a few uses. )-:

    Thanks for the chance!!!

  216. Julie Britt says

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE the products i have tried from them!!!The hard bar lotion does take getting used to but it works great!!ordered the baby salve and the mini bee balm for my daughter in law who just had a baby Would love to try her other products!!!

  217. Laura G. says

    I would love to win. We live in an area swarming with Mosquitos and I would love to have something non toxic for me and my littles.

  218. Lana says

    I would love to keep the Bug Block around for the grandchildren and our DIL who is a mosquito magnet.

  237. Amanda Yoder says

    I LOVE their hard lotion and lip gloss! I am going to try their bug block this year I think maybe. She’s got an amazing product and great customer service! Would love to win–then I’d give away lip gloss for Christmas to get my family addicted ;-). I got some of them hooked on the lotion bars last year.

  239. Grace says

    What a great give-a-way! I’ve been looking for something to keep the bugs off that won’t break the bank. I don’t want old hands or an old face! Does the bar lotion work on wrinkles too? :-)

  241. Tasha says

    I need the bug block!! Last year our yard was like the 11th plague of Mosquitos. Dreading the onset this year.

  246. Patsy Fromherz says

    we are being invaded by mosquitoes could really use the insect repellant

  249. Gina says

    Will definitely be purchasing the bug block!! Laura, thank you for setting up the deal and the giveaway!

  250. Debbie Rose says

    EWG rates this bug repellant a zero- safest rating available! Rock ON!!!

  260. Erin O'Brien says

    This is amazing! I’ve ordered MadeOn before, but never the bug block – could use 2 of those this year with mosquitoes already starting in Wisconsin (I declare, they should be our state bird…)

  263. Tamora says

    Would love to try the bug block. We were outside tonight and got eaten alive even though we had bug spray on. Non-toxic would be an added bonus!!!

  269. Rachel E. says

    I heard about these products last year. I would love to try them. I wonder if the bug block protects from ticks?

  274. Peggy says

    I would love younger hands and my daughter and I both seem to be having allergic reactions to bites! :(

  275. Melissa says

    Thanks for the awesome giveaway! Living out here in the NM desert has a way of shriveling a person up! Would love to try Made On’s products!

  294. Melissa says

    I recently, well a few months ago now, purchased supplies for making my own lotion bars. Guess what’s still sitting in the box? Every time you write about MadeOn I think I should get some BugBlock.

  302. Colleen M. says

    Would love to be a winner! My hands are always so dry from washing them so much!!

  309. sandy says

    Thank you for all you do for us!!!

  312. Steph J says

    We just got back from a trip to Northern Minnesota and the mosquitoes were NO JOKE! I admit I went a bit crazy when walking behind my husband (who was carrying our toddler) on the trail and seeing no less than 20 mosquitoes between his back and my face. Made me really think about replacing our “natural” insect repellent. Thanks for this!

  333. Sonja says

    Made-On products work great! They are about the only thing I use for lotion and chapstick on a daily basis. I would love to try the bug block too.
