Everyone Gets a FREE BeeSilk Stick (My Fav!)

May 5, 2015 by Laura 10 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see our disclosure policy.

Once upon a time (4.5 years ago), Renee from MadeOn sent me a BeeSilk Lotion Bar. At the time, my hands were red, dry, and cracking. I was skeptical of all lotions as most of them made my hands worse, not better – but I tried it anyway because the ingredients were pure and I thought maybe, just maybe this would help me.

I held the lotion bar in my hands to soften it, then rubbed it over my dry hands. Immediately my hands felt better. I was amazed that for the rest of the day – my hands felt great. I re-applied the lotion before bed. The next day they were as smooth as a baby’s…forehead. ;)

I use BeeSilk Lotion every day now, my family uses it every day, we never go without it, and our skin lives happily ever after. The end.

hands

Great story, huh? A true one, too. I super love BeeSilk Lotion.

Since the first time we tried MadeOn, we’ve also starting using their Bug Block and Lip Balm – loving those too. Beyond the fact that these products are super effective, they are also completely pure and healthy for the skin. (As in, the ingredients are safe enough to eat.) Plus, they are reasonably priced. So this is a win-win-win.

And now the best news of all. Through Saturday, we can all get a free BeeSilk Stick ($7.65 value)!

Free Bee Silk Stick!

Since I’ve been working with Renee from MadeOn for so many years now, I asked if she’d want to swing us a deal. She came back with a freebie because she loves Heavenly Homemakers readers almost as much as I do. Almost. ;)

Now through Saturday, May 9 we can each get a free BeeSilk Lotion Stick. These are just like the lotion bars, only they are in stick form – like a glue stick, only bigger. You can throw them in your purse to easily rub onto your skin or your child’s skin.

How To Get a Free BeeSilk Lotion Stick:

  1. Click here to get to the special “Free BeeSilk Lotion Stick for Heavenly Homemakers Readers” page.
  2. Enter your email address and then click the yellow button. (Yes, then you’ll be on the MadeOn mailing list which I find very beneficial – but if you prefer, you can unsubscribe from her newsletter at any time.)
  3. Place your order for a free BeeSilk Stick. You’ll need to pay a small shipping fee OR you can do what I did when I took advantage of this: I ordered enough products to get free shipping. We use these products constantly, and I really needed to stock up on Bug Block Sticks for my kids to take to camp this summer.

Don’t forget -this fun freebie deal ends May 9. Enjoy! You’ll find that these Lotion Sticks are great for dry, cracked heels too. I recommend stocking up on Bug Block while you’re there. It works VERY WELL and it absolutely safe. I love this!

I’m Giving Away $200 Worth of My Favorite Things!

December 10, 2014 by Laura 1,106 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see our disclosure policy.

Actually, I’m keeping all of my favorite things. Sorry. They are my very favorite items and I use them constantly. However, I am going to give one of you a package full of duplicates of many of my favorite things so that you can enjoy them too! How fun is this?!

Now, the trick is that all of these favorites have to fit inside a stocking. This is why I’m not giving away my husband or children. (Not even their monthly grocery bill would fit inside a stocking.)  Plus, I really want to keep them around.

I also decided not to include butter in this give away. Butter fits inside a stocking, but sending it in the mail? Well, I decided to skip it. I do think it is fitting to ask that every time you use butter, you think of me with a smile.

So, no butter, no family members, and you also can’t have my personal Bible or my recliner. (Again, stocking size restrictions, obviously.)  But enough about what this giveaway does not include. What are these amazing items I’m choosing to giving away???

My Favorite Things Giveaway

The winner of this giveaway will receive:

BeeSilk Family Size Hard Lotion Bar ($12.95)

I haven’t stopped raving about these since I started using them several years ago. They are completely non-toxic and healthy for the skin, and they have saved my hands!!! I love this stuff and don’t go a day without it.

1/4 pound Vanilla Beans through Olive Nation ($19.95)

Making Homemade Vanilla Extract has been one of the most fun and delicious adventures in my kitchen since we switched to real food. Everyone needs to make this.

Lilla Rose Flexi-Clip ($13.00)

I wear Flexi-Clips almost daily. They are crazy easy to use and so very pretty. They don’t pull or break my hair like cheap ponytail holders. I absolutely love Flexi-Clips. The winner of this giveaway will win an extra-small Snowflake Flexi – perfect for young Frozen fans and their moms. :)

lilla rose fav giveaway
Polder’s Old World Market Spurtle
($39.00)

Ever heard of a Spurtle? It’s like a spatula, spoon, and paddle all in one. Not only is it a super handy kitchen gadget, it is beautiful and the best quality utensil I have in my kitchen. It is hand made – pure walnut. The winner of this giveaway will receive an Original Spurtle Spatula. These are fantastic!

Half-Tee Tank from Deborah and Co. ($17.99)

While this isn’t a winter item, you will be very glad you have this Deborah and Co. Half Tee Tank come spring and summer. I love mine so much I’m going to need to order more next summer. They are wonderful for comfortably adding a modest layer under tanks and dresses – definitely one of my very favorite things. (I just learned that this week only in the U.S., Half Tees are shipping for free!)

deborah and co 3

Hand-Made Slippers from The Purple Lamb ($80)

Seem like an expensive pair of slippers? Well, you get what you pay for. Regular $20 slippers from the store don’t last long since I tend to wear slippers all day long several months out of the year. I’ve had my Purple Lamb slippers for over two years and they still look and feel like they did the day they arrived. I cannot say enough about these amazing, custom, hand-made slippers. They are so well made, so perfect for my foot, so warm and comfortable – they are amazing. The inside of the slippers feature New Zealand Shearling – seriously the softest most luxurious thing ever. They include suede soles and are made from 100% wool. You will love these. (Available in up to an 11 inch foot.)

Oh, For Real! Cookbook ($25.95)

You know my cookbook is one of my favorite things. ;)  I use this so much that my copy has splashes and stains on it by now. It is a cookbook full of our family’s favorite recipes, as well as all my best tips for keeping life simple (and healthy) in the kitchen. I want you to have my cookbook!

Natural Bug Block By MadeOn – Could It Get Any Better?

April 29, 2014 by Laura 4 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see our disclosure policy.

You know my very favorite skin care/lotion that I use from MadeOn? (Beesilk Hard Lotion – what would I do without it?)  I just received a package perfect for this summer:  MadeOn Bug Block. Just opening the package and smelling the contents within made me giddy about summer. I can’t believe how good the Bug Block smells. I know Bug Block works because we’ve used it for several summers in a row. Mosquitos, back off. You’re going down.

So check this out:

bug block

It’s Bug Block in a stick form. That means it will be easier than ever to rub onto the skin. I am so excited about this! Our family is well stocked on this and ready for summer. It won’t hurt the skin because it contains only natural ingredients (76 degree naturally refined coconut oil, unbleached beeswax, naturally refined shea butter, essential oils of citronella, cedarwood, and lavender. No deet!).

The best part:  It doubles as a lotion.  Be still my heart.

Take advantage of this to get ready for summer. Mosquitos beware! We’ve got Bug Block.

Have Dry Hands? I Can Fix That!

February 17, 2014 by Laura 13 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see our disclosure policy.

Technically, I can’t personally do anything to help your dry hands. But I can tell you about my favorite, most loved hard lotion bar and remind you of how it has saved my hands from being dry, cracked, and bleeding winter after winter. I love MadeOn and all it offers.

My skin has been so much healthier ever since I began using the Bee Silk lotion bar. I used it every single day. My whole family uses it. I will never be without it. It’s made with three, wholesome ingredients that are completely chemical free. Love it, love it, love it.

made_on

The real reason I’m bringing this up – aside from the fact that I want your hands to be as happy as mine are – is that today only, MadeOn is offering free shipping on any order over $17.76.

Use code ‘1776‘ for free shipping on all orders over $17.76. Good only on President’s Day, Monday, February 17th. Ends at midnight PST.

Hurry and stock up! Your skin will thank you.
