Lip Balm Sale at The Giving Essence!

Healthy lips - the Perfect Way to Kiss Spring Hello!

 

DkMommy Spot’s very own online store The Giving Essence is having a pretty exciting sale right now, if I do say so myself.  For those of you who may not know, I make a pretty mean handcrafted lip balm, and normally you can buy a set of three 1-ounce tins for $15.  (A 1-ounce tin, by the way, is 6 times the size of a chapstick tube!)  For a limited time, I have the sets of three on sale for only $10, and of course you get to mix and match from the six flavors.  (No coupon code necessary.)

All the lip balm is completely natural, made with sweet almond oil, beeswax, honey, Vitamin E, and essential oils.  Sets of three come in a cute little organza bag.  And of course a portion of all proceeds goes to charity! For February, we’re focusing on Haiti relief, and proceeds are going to the Red Cross.  (With the exception of Peppermint Lip Balm; 100% of its proceeds go to breast cancer research!)  Also with every purchase comes a free sample of another TGE product, and for U.S. orders over $30 there’s free shipping.

If you’re a lip balm addict as I am, a set of three gives you the chance to keep one in your purse, one by the bed, and one in the bathroom.  Or one in the living room, one in your backpack, one in the kitchen.  Or all three in your pockets.  Endless balmy possibilities.

So swing by The Giving Essence for some natural lip balm and ditch the chapstick quick.  Spring is on the way; time for fresh skin.  Your lips will thank you!

A Giveaway from The Giving Essence – NEW Essential Spray Fragrance

20. January 2010 · 137 comments · Categories: Contest · Tags: , , ,

Free Shipping at The Giving Essence on Orders Over $30!

There’s a new Essential Spray at The Giving Essence, and I’m excited to be offering one as a giveaway!  This new fragrance, Lavender Fields, is made with essential oil of French Lavender and it smells absolutely heavenly.  It’s a favorite essential oil of mine that up until now has been reserved for the Lavender Dream Sticks and the Lavender Mint balms.  But now it’s also its own all-natural chemical-free home fragrance.  Lavender Fields is as concentrated as all the other Essential Sprays, so just a few light mists are all that is needed.  It comes in a 1-ounce recyclable non-aerosol spray bottle, and like everything at The Giving Essence, a portion of the proceeds goes to charity.

Our next charitable project will be a donation to a Haiti Earthquake relief fund, so any purchases made now will have proceeds contributing to this most needy of causes.

Also new at The Giving Essence is free shipping on all orders $30 and up.  No coupon code necessary at checkout.  The deduction will occur automatically, and includes free standard shipping to anywhere in the U.S.

“The Giving Essence” Buys a Goat!

Don’t Miss the Free Footbalm offer at The Giving Essence!  

TGEandYou-MYou’ve read it right – The Giving Essence has purchased a goat!  But before you start thinking I’ve got a goat in the back yard competing for space with the dachshunds, I’d like to let you in on a little secret.  When I started The Giving Essence, it was in fact with a vision that goes even deeper than handcrafted natural balms and herbal wonderments.  I wanted a business that would make a real difference and would have a broad impact.  Even the business name was chosen with great care to reflect this.  

I make products from plants that give their essences for healing.  The items in my online store can be used as a natural gift to yourself or a gift to others.  And more importantly, when you make a purchase from The Giving Essence, you’re now giving to those in the world less fortunate.  Starting January 1, 2010, a portion of every purchase you make on The Giving Essence goes to those in need.  This time the need comes in the form of a goat.

I wrote a review of World Vision’s Gift Catalog this past Christmas season, and I loved the idea that specific donations could be made in the forms of things like child education, clothing, even a family goat.  So that’s what you’ve helped to donate if you’ve made a purchase from The Giving Essence recently.  The goat will go to a needy family somewhere in the world, where she’ll be able to produce up to 16 cups of milk a day.  The family will get nourishment from the resulting milk, cheese and yogurt, selling the extra at market.  

As The Giving Essence donates to varying projects, I’ll blog about the different organizations we’ll be aiding.  Remember, a portion  of every single purchase you make on The Giving Essence, no matter how small, helps fund the next project.  So where will it be next?  Time will tell.  In the meantime I’m going to envision the goat we just bought together, and all she’ll be giving to one special family somewhere out there.

Want to donate your own goat or other much-needed item through World Vision?  You can check out their Gift Catalog here.
