MBeze:: Natural Skin Care and Cosmetics {Giveaway!}

I recently received a goody bag from MBeze full of lovely natural skin care products. The package included a Koko Haze Deodorette, Twice Shy Natural Body Oil, Aim to be Pleased Natural Body Spray, Cruizee Natural Perfume and Dabber Dust Natural Underarm Powder. My favorite part of these goodies were the fabulous scents, earth and body friendly ingredients and the packaging.

The Koko Haze Deodorette and dapper dust are the perfect small size. These are exactly the size for throwing in your handbag. The deodorant rolls on smooth and clean and has a lovely coconut scent. The dapper dust gives you a quick freshen up in a small compact size. Wouldn’t these be perfect for a day out in the hot sun when you need to freshen up in a snap? Fantastic.

The Twice Shy Natural Body Oil is a lovely scent of pink grapefruit. I love that the scent is clean and crisp. I think this would be a perfect scent if you are purchasing this as a gift. This would be perfect for a day at the beach or poolside.

The Aim to be Pleased Natural Body Spray is a stronger scent of cherry blossoms and sandalwood. I think this scent would be perfect for a day of shopping and appointments. Lovely and strong without being too over the top.

The Cruizee Natural Perfume is one of my favorites with cucumber, jasmine and mint tea. It is a laid back scent that is perfect for everyday wear. It is a scent that others will notice and admire. Mr. Sweet Greens’ gave me a big hug this morning and said that I smelled delicious. It doesn’t get much better than that, right?

I am giving ONE of my lovely, lovely readers a MBeze’s Cruizee Natural Body Mist Spray.

Have a Lovely Green Weekend

Hello Lovely Readers,
How was your week? Mine has been wonderfully busy. I just launched my virtual assistant business website and I am really excited for it!

It has been snowing here in Colorado again, so our plans for the weekend include some early spring cleaning, rearranging and reorganizing. We are looking to declutter and simplify our home. There will be a lot of trips to goodwill and listing of items on eBay. Doesn’t life just seem sweeter when everything is clean and organized?

Here are a few things from Sweet Greens that you may have missed:

Making Crayons with your kids
– A vintage caravan overlooking the sea.
– My new fave lunchbox.
Plus, have you entered to Win:

– A kitty hat.
– A crate of organic fruit.

How about you lovely readers, what do you have planned for your weekend? Are you stuck inside due to the snow? What are you doing to keep cabin fever at bay?

xo,
Sweet Green

P.S. I would love to sent very lovely and happy birthday wishes to my little sister. Have a fantastic day. 

DIY Art Supplies:: Part 1: Making Crayons with Kids

Over the next few posts on my blog at Cascadian Farm, I will be sharing the Eco friendly art supplies recipes that Eben and I have enjoyed over the years. First up is my do it yourself, recycled crayons tutorial.

Eben and I have made these over the years with broken crayon pieces. We have wrapped them up with handmade notebooks for holiday gifts and birthday favors. This would be a super fun series to follow through all of this cold winter weather. It would give you more ideas to keep the kids entertained.

Do you make your own art supplies?
Which ones are your favorite?

My New Favorite Green Lunchbox from Goodbyn

Have you seen the new lunchboxes from Goodbyn. Aren’t they fantastic? I love the colors, the shape, the size, the design and the stickers. What a lovely idea to let children decorate their own lunchbox. Don’t you agree? I love that the drink bottle has it’s own spot inside the lunchbox. I also love how roomy they are, that they are BPA free and completely recyclable. Fantastic. Personally, I would use a Goodbyn lunchbox myself, I think they are adorable. Eben would love, love, love one too. How cute are the ears?

How about you lovely readers, would you or your child use a Goodbyn lunchbox?
What do you think of them?

The Whole Deal Coupons.

Do you shop at Whole Foods? Would you like to save money while shopping at Whole Foods? Did you know that Whole Foods has a printable selection of coupons on their website? This month you can save on milk, yogurt, breakfast items and more. Fantastic.
