We've been blogging for a whole year now!! Exciting isn't it? Happy anniversary to us.
To celebrate, we want to give a gift to our readers. I pondered for awhile what that gift might be, but I decided that I'm going to give away FOUR jars of Geneva Springs' Dairy Maid Skin Cream.
Why? Well, mainly because I love the stuff, but also because I could not decide what variety to give away if I were to give away only one. So, I narrowed it down to four, because each variety has a different use, while the others they sell just smell good.
1 2 oz. jar of Unscented--because even those with allergies should be able to enjoy soft skin. There is NO added fragrance in this jar, while other "unscented" products can get away with putting a scent in that balances the yucky smell of their ingredients, Lucy at Geneva Springs just sticks to pure ingredients. I use this one on my kids--even the baby.
1 2 oz jar of Lavender--to relax you. It is the real oil, not just a fragrance.
1 2 oz jar of Peppy Mint--a blend of spearmint & peppermint. Did you know that it's recently been proven that putting mint oil on your temples during a headache can cure it? With the high concentration of mint in this blend, it works wonders for headaches. Also, great on feet and legs after a looooong day. I've even used it to calm my charlie horses.
1 2 oz jar of l'Orange Crush--This one has orange essential oil blended with a fragrance. It's so energizing and upbeat...it's my favorite. Definitely a pick-me-up after doing the dishes. Orange oil is also good for circulation.
So, what is this stuff? It's a cream that Lucy has been making for her family for the past 25 years, as they own a dairy and the wet-dry-wet-dry atmosphere is not good for skin. It causes cracking and bleeding, and this concoction has kept family hands crack free for years now. She's only been selling it for 5 years, and recently started adding the essential oils and other fragrances. And that's only because she happens to have five daughters now, who all wanted to smell just as good as they looked.
Oh, yes, the giveaway. To win this long-lasting four pack (because a little really does go a long way!), go to Geneva Springs' website, and tell me what your favorite product is. There's more than cream there now. She's got glycerin soaps, beeswax soaps, bath salts, and lip balms. She also does custom orders, so if you need your product to have no dye in it, she will do it (she uses cosmetic grade dyes though, so if you can wear make-up, it shouldn't bother your skin), or if you want a special essential oil mix, email her, and it can be done!

Thanks for offering such an awesome gift give-away! Here's my entry: Because I love to soak in baths (a rare event these days, but wonderful when I get the opportunity), the lavender bath salts look like a great product to me. That's cool she gets salt from the Dead Sea! I know that does have therapeutic properties.
Oh, sigh. I have to say that that vanilla musk soap looks rather dreamy. Happy blogaversary!
The huckleberry soap sounds good enough to eat!
I always need some good cream so I just had to enter. (My skin misses the humid summer.) My favorite would have to be the Raspberry Dessert Dairy Maid Skin Cream. Just the thought of raspberry dessert sounds heavenly. If I can't eat it the next best thing would be to put in on my skin and smell it all day.
Thanks Jillian.
Thanks for coming by my blog and telling me about your contest! I checked out the lip balms on the site and can't resist something like the Froot Loops lip balm! I mean really, Froot Loops, who can beat that!! =)
(The peppermint lotion sounds perrrrfect!)
