Today: Vacation in several bottles.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] Six adorable bottles.
With the holidays fast approaching, the temperature dropping in this part of the Universe, and the sun playing hard to get, we could all use a little vacation. With all my talk of getting away, the least I could do is share some of the vacation ahhhhh with one of you. The lovely people at Weleda are coming to the rescue of one lucky reader who will receive their Body Oil Essentials Kit, which promises to replenish, regenerate, balance and protect.
I just relaxed a bit more typing those words.
The Body Oil Essentials Kit includes six mini versions of Weleda’s 100% certified organic, natural body oils and poses quite well with all the coral I snuck home from the Caribbean. This set would make the perfect holiday gift. Or you could keep them for yourself. You could also split up the kit and drop a bottle in each stocking you pass. Or you could keep them for yourself (see where I’m going with this?). Here they are, in alphabetical order, because I am a freak of nature and can somehow find a way to systematize even the relaxation process.
- Arnica Massage Oil boasts the special restorative properties of hand-picked, organic arnica flowers and will warm your skin during usage.
- Birch Cellulite Oil will help purify and detoxify your skin. It will visibly improve your skin’s texture and smoothness after a month of regular use.
- Lavender Relaxing Body Oil is the perfect antidote to a long, stressful day. The aroma will help you unwind before bed.
- Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil is an indulgent, antioxidant-rich oil that will visibly reduce the signs of aging, promote skin renewal, add moisture, and will leave you looking smooth and firm (sort of like my handshake).
- Sea Buckthorn Body Oil features Biodynamic(R) sea buckthorn, which is rich in antioxidants and has long been used by Weleda for replenishing the skin.
- Wild Rose Body Oil smells heavenly. I am sure there’s more to it, but I could sit around sniffing this little pink bottle all day. If that’s wrong, I don’t want to be right. Beyond the amazing aroma, rosehip seed oil boasts a powerful combination of vitamins and fatty acids which help to improve the skin’s suppleness and elasticity.
A bit more about the brand behind the beautifying botanicals: At Weleda, we cultivate beauty and 100-percent, certified-natural baby and skin care products. We believe beauty should be grown right from the earth-not from a lab. Carefully. Lovingly. And certainly without pesticides or chemicals. Look through our ingredients and you will find flowers and herbs, crafted organically and biodynamically. We are the pioneers of Biodynamic® and organic farming, and since our inception in 1921, we have put as much love and care into the earth as we have into our bottles. We create meaningful products that work with your body’s own natural vitality and ability to nurture and heal. The end result is radiant skin and a sense of well-being that can only come from nature and from us—Weleda.
Weleda products are available online at www.usa.weleda.com. Select products are sold at Target, Whole Foods Market, select independent health food stores and other specialty retailers nationwide and around the world.
I love that Weleda has been around since 1921 and their products are rooted in organic farming, and are not dictated by trends and passing fads. They are a brand I trust and respect and see every morning in my shower and makeup bag. It’s just that good. My favorite picks are their Skin Food, Pomegranate Creamy Body Wash, and their incredible Foot Balm. I am looking forward to experimenting further with each of these oils and can’t wait to pass along a set to one of you. So let’s get down to business, shall we?

Stay relaxed by making lists and planning ahead. 🙂 Stay balanced by trying to eat fruit for breakfast and cookies for dessert. Sounds plausible, no?

My only tip for staying relaxed and balanced for the holidays would be to ask for a massage as a Christmas present! That always relaxes me!

Hmmm. That’s a tough one. I guess taking it all one day at a time.

I don’t feel stressed by the holidays anymore, especially not this year. Since the economy has dived, our family has placed a lot less emphasis on gifts. I like it that way! I’m planning to keep exercising to stay in balance this season so I can make sure that I can enjoy the yummy food of this season guilt-free. Great giveaway!

Stay balanced and relaxed by enjoying life. I’ve always loved looking at clouds and sunsets, but just recently, I’ve begun taking photographs of both. Share with friends/family these little joys that are free and always available. These can be enjoyed all year, not just during the holiday season, but why not share with friends/family during holiday get-togethers? And as always, don’t forget the water and exercise!

I stay balanced by doing yoga and working out regularly during the holiday season.

I love this time of the year because I can plug some Christmas lights in, in my bedroom, light a seasonal candle, make some hot cocoa with whipped cream, sit back and read. I feel totally relaxed when doing this! It’s always nice to take some time for yourself amongst the chaos!
P.S. I retweeted as well! 🙂
