Trillium Organics Giveaway

This giveaway has ended. Thanks to all that entered!
I know that perfume is a cliche Valentines Day gift, but since these are botanical instead of toxic junk I had to share. :) I say toxic junk because 95% of perfumes are made with synthetic petroleum based compounds that cause numerous problems for many people. The Environmental Working Group found that 16% of perfumes contained chemicals that can cause cancer. 98% of perfumes contained ingredients that haven't been tested or had insufficient data. 76% contained ingredients that are allergens and 13% had potential health concerns. Perfumes don't list their ingredients, so you have no clue what you are getting.

I found an amazing company called Trillium Organics that carries botanical perfumes with mainly organic ingredients. Trillium Organics has 3 perfume lines, Amorous Agenda, Aromatic Attitude Adjustment, and Aromarolla. They all come in multiple scents and are pocket size rollers. You can purchase 1/5 drams or 1/3 oz. rollers of the Aromarolla.
I was sent the Amorous Agenda line that includes Love, Romance, and Passion. Of course Passion would be my favorite. :) I'm a very passionate person. Passion includes organic jojoba oil, organic vanilla, ylang ylang, ginger, clove, and cinnamon. It is a spicy scent, yet not too pungent. The clove and ginger are mild.

My next favorite is the Romance. It is a mild scent that's very laid back. It includes organic jojoba oil, organic vanilla, clary sage, and ylang ylang. I love the gentle scent of vanilla mixed with sage.

I'm not too fond of the Love scent, but floral scents just aren't me. Granted, it does smell exactly like roses and roses do smell wonderful. But, my perfume personality just isn't roses. Love includes organic jojoba oil, organic vanilla, rose, and sandalwood. If you do like floral scents, this would be perfect for you!

Trillium Organics
carries organic and non-toxic skin care ranging from oils, lotions and soaps. They also have a OG Baby line that includes a respiratory congestion clearing set. I have that to review and I'm pretty sure it's coming in the next week since Miss E has a 102 fever tonight. No symptoms yet, but I'm sure those will follow tomorrow.

Be sure to check out the Trillium Organics Valentines Specials!! They have some amazing products on sale as well as some retired scents.

Simply Chickie Giveaway

This giveaway has ended. Thanks to all that entered!!
This is a few days late.. but here is Friday's Clothing Gift Giveaway! Before we were into organic clothing, I loved Baby Gap. Yes, it's been hard to resist not buying their adorable themed outfits for the holidays. But luckily there are alternatives in the organic world! Check out Simply Chickie's newest design for the holidays which will be online hopefully by Monday:
I love the candies for my sweet stuff! The tee can be worn over a long sleeved shirt on cold days and looks adorable with a red shirt. Again, I forgot to take pics on the day I painted Ella's nails with the Piggy Paint to match the Simply Chickie Sweet Stuff shirt. My mind is gone and I apologize! But I'm sure you will see the shirt in upcoming holiday outings!

Simply Chickie's owner, Gwen, creates her own designs on papers she has collected from her worldly travels. She then cuts the designs and paints whatever might augment the picture. The original art is then computer graphically arranged and printed out on your 100% organic tee shirt, onesie or baby hat.
The organic fabric has not been dyed or bleached, so it is all natural. The shirts are a soft, thick durable fabric and I've had no issues with shrinking. The Tees are available in 2, 4, and 6 T and the onesies are available for 3-6, 6-12, 12-18 and 18-24 months.

Simply Chickie carries some hilarious designs that are sure to make anyone laugh, but they also have some sweet and simple designs for everyone. Another great winter shirt/onesie is the Ski Bum, which has Ski Bum written on the butt! There is also the I Toot Toot for the train lovers. There are over 25 designs to choose from and more will be added closer to the Spring. Gwen is hard at work for some new artwork!

The Giveaway: Simply Chickie would like to offer 1 lucky winner a Tee or Onesie of their choice!

Rules: You have until 11:59 p.m. EST November 23, 2009 to enter. The winner will be chosen by random.org and announced after they respond to the winning email.
