We haven’t done a giveaway in a long time, so when the opportunity to give away a Conscious Box came along, I said “Yes, indeedy!

This monthly service gives you the chance to try out healthy green companies and products you might not even realize exist, all delivered to your doorstep.

Conscious Box comes to your door monthly, and subscribers can select from the Classic Box, the Gluten Free Box, or the Vegan Box. And since everything — right down to the labels and packaging — is earth friendly, you can feel good about every goody box, whether it’s being given as a gift or being used in your household.

Mellow Monk Green Tea Giveaway!

30. January 2013 · 127 comments · Categories: Contest, Product Review · Tags: ,

Yuzu Dream Tea by Mellow Monk

Around our house, there’s no argument: Mellow Monk is our favorite Japanese green tea, hands down. That’s why I’m so happy to have two packets of Mellow Monk tea to give away to two lucky readers.

I first discovered Mellow Monk several years ago when I had the opportunity to review them here. Ever since that first taste, we’ve kept some in stock at the house; in fact, it’s become a Christmas tradition for my husband to find some in his stocking each year. I’ll tell you what makes these teas so special: They’re truly artisanal, grown on small family farms in Japan. And since the company finds sustainable, environmental stewardship to be very important, you can feel good about any purchase you make.

Green tea lovers will enjoy browsing their selection of eleven exquisite teas. The two I’ll be giving away are Top Monk and Yuzu Dream. Top Monk is one of their bestsellers and is possibly our favorite as well (although Mountain Snow, this year’s stocking stuffer, is making it tougher for me to say that). It’s a clean tasting tea that earns the stamp of “mellow”, and we like its silky smoothness. Yuzu Dream is a green tea with sun-dried yuzu peel and is described as “sweet, tangy, and earthy, with citron flavors and notes of orange blossom and rose.” Sounds to me like we might need to stuff a spring stocking!

I’ll be choosing two winners for this giveaway. The Top Leaf tea contains 100 grams of loose leaf tea ($14.95 retail) and Yuzu Dream contains 50 grams of loose leaf tea ($21.95 retail). Follow the simple instructions below to get yourself entered. Or if you’re too darned impatient (I sympathize), visit Mellow Monk now and place your order. You’ll be enjoying a delicious cup before you can say, “Arigatou”.

How to Enter (Do one or all three for multiple entries):

1.) Visit Mellow Monk and check out their tea selection. Come back here and leave a comment telling me which tea appeals to you most.

2.) Follow me on Facebook at the Diane Kidman fan page, then come back here and let me know you did!

3.) Tweet, blog about, and/or post a link to this giveaway on your Facebook page. Then come back and let me know you did! (I’m @dkmommy on Twitter, by the way.)

Winners for the Mellow Monk Green Tea giveaway will be chosen on February 7, 2013.

A “Blogger’s Down” Giveaway Special: NOOR Organic Cotton Top by BOA

13. May 2011 · 103 comments · Categories: Contest, Product Review

It’s a “Blogger is Down” special:  The giveaways I’m currently running at An Uncommon Thread, such as this one for a $150 Gift Card to Indigenous Designs, are being hosted here as well!  Since dkMommy Spot is NOT on Blogger, you can enter here without problem.

Spring and summer fashion should celebrate the bright rays of the sun and the arrival of bursts of color at long last, and BOA is doing their part this week by giving away one Ladies’ NOOR Organic Top.  Offered in Henna, Indigo, and my favorite Saffron, this long sleeve top is perfect for spring temperatures, summer evenings, or those long, breezy beach days.

I’ve been wearing my NOOR top in the beautifully warm Saffron color, which does the heart good.  The elastic at cuffs and waist fit comfortably, and the low neckline gives plenty of play for a favorite necklace and the sunshine.  It’s perfect for shorts and jeans, looks great with a skirt.  Truly a go-anywhere top, one can definitely feel the Moroccan-made influence in this piece.

In fact, all the clothing you’ll find at BOA is made organic and natural fabrics. Italian mother-daughter owners, Sara and Cristina, partner up with the local people of Morocco where they now live, and they ensure their products are ethical and responsible.  I was quite impressed with their packaging, for instance.  Mine arrived carefully packed in a recycled box, and each item was placed in its own reusable cotton bag.  To me, that proves a company really means their commitment to eco-fashion.

I’d love for you to discover more about BOA, and to do that, we’re giving away one NOOR top, to TWO winners, in their choice of color and size.  Open for entry through May 17. 2011.

Here’s how to enter:

1.  Visit BOA.  Come back here and tell me what else you liked or learned about them. (You may do this once daily, but please comment on a new item each time.)

2.  Blog about, Twitter, and/or Facebook a link to this giveaway; come back here and tell me you did it.

Two winners will be randomly selected after one week and contacted via email.  The winners will receive a NOOR top in their choice of color and size.

A “Blogger’s Down” Giveaway Special: $150 Gift Card to Indigenous Designs!

13. May 2011 · 94 comments · Categories: Contest, Product Review

It’s a “Blogger is Down” special:  The giveaways I’m currently running at An Uncommon Thread, such as this one for a $150 Gift Card to Indigenous Designs, are being hosted here as well!  Since dkMommy Spot is NOT on Blogger, you can enter here without problem.

If you’ve got the urge for a little shopping spree, then you’re in the right place; because right here, Indigenous Designs is giving away a $150 Gift Certificate to their online store!  Focusing on free trade and organic cotton fashions for men and women, they offer several appealing items, such as this Disco Top (seen on the left).  And there’s more good news – a second winner will be selected to win their own!
I’ve been wearing the Disco Top, and I love the comfortable feel of the organic cotton.  As dressy as it is, it feels like wearing my favorite tee without looking anything, thank goodness, like my favorite tee.  It’s a rather versatile cut with a stretchy, clingy style that allows you to wear it long and lean or high and crunched.  I like how I can shift it around for different looks and it stays comfortably in place.  Either way, this top gives a nice slimming look.  Paired with a long, dramatic necklace, it offers a style that’s all its own.
Of course, if you win the $150 gift certificate, you’ll be able to choose from many more styles as well.  And sinceIndigenous Designs features only 100% natural and organic fabrics with low impact dyes, and because their clothing is all fair trade from Peruvian artisans, you’ll not only look good in your clothes; you’ll feel good about them too.

Ready to enter to win?  One winner will receive a $150 Gift Certificate.  Another will win a Disco Top ($55 retail). Just follow the simple entry guidelines below!

Multiple entries possible!

1.) Visit Indigenous Designs, then go to their Facebook Page and tell them what you liked and why.  Don’t forget!  This is your main entry.

2.) ONLY AFTER LEAVING A COMMENT ON FB: For extra entries, you can Twitter, Facebook, and/or blog about this giveaway.  Leave me a comment telling me you did it.

***Winners of the Indigenous Designs $150 Gift Certificate and the Disco Top will be notified via the Facebook page, so be sure to check there on May 17th to see if you’ve won!

Tropical Traditions Lavender Moisturizing Cream Giveaway

27. May 2010 · 168 comments · Categories: Contest, Product Review · Tags: , ,

I feel like I’ve learned a great skin care secret since I’ve discovered the use of coconut oil products, in particular those from our friends at Tropical Traditions. I got hooked on their skin care first with the moisturizing lotions, and lately I’ve been using their Lavender Moisturizing Cream for my face.  The ingredients are simple, straight-forward and natural, earning a big dkM thumbs up.  It’s a great moisturizer for evening, especially after some sun exposure. It applies thick but soaks up into the skin quickly, and by morning I’m able to tell I’ve used it.

The Moisturizing Cream comes in several scents and unscented, and I selected lavender.  Fragrances are not imitation, but are instead from natural essential oils, and I find the lavender oil to be a perfect before-bed scent.  Lavender oil is known among aromatherapists to be both relaxing and uplifting, so it’s a great choice for a moisturizer.

Tropical Traditions is giving away one full-sized 4-oz. jar of their Moisturizing Cream (winner’s choice on scents) to one dkM reader!  It retails for $19.50, but there’s currently a sale underway, so swing by and take a look for yourself. And in the meantime, enter to win here!

Multiple Options for Multiple Entries:

1.) Just visit Tropical Traditions and tell me something else you liked or learned there. (***You may enter once a day, but please list a new item you like each time.) Remember, leave an interesting comment. If I cannot contact the winner, you might be chosen instead based on your comment.

2.) Sign up for Tropical Traditions’ Email Newsletter! Get an entry just for signing up for the newsletter.  I’m subscribed too, and there are some fabulous deals announced in them.

3.) Blog about, Twitter, Subscribe and/or Become a Fan on Facebook! Get an extra entry for each of these activities.  This time just leave a separate comment for each (only one time for each extra activity completed), giving me a link to your blog post, your Twitter name, and/or a note saying you’re an FB Fan and/or subscriber.  SUBSCRIBE HERE!

(Psst!  My Twitter name is dkMommy.)
