{ holiday + giveaway }

this is my favorite time of the year, sound cliché, but it is true.  the gentle, peaceful snowy presence, chilly temps causing one to bundle, cuddle and light a fire for warmth; warm cups of hot cocoa and coffee and the gentle burning flames of a fire.  all of this brings warmth and joy.  embracing the quiet brought on by the darkness and cold temperature makes this season more bearable for all.  letting the early night and chilly temps affect you but without negative reaction will give you deep peace. 

 

another of my favorite things about this season is giving.  giving brings me great joy and the energy exchanged is highly positive, especially if your heart is connected to the exchange.  this is my first giveaway on this blog and I couldn't be happier to share this with you all! 

my friend, jessica hudson, owns a small farm, sweet peas farm and herbals.  she makes the most amazing natural skin and health products.  her whipped body butters are rich, super moisturizing and made with all natural ingredients, essential oils and herbs.  we collaborated on this wonderfully, luxurious body butter; made with organic coconut oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, rose absolute essential oil and...get this, real rose petals.  this stuff is amazing and feels like silk on your skin.  a rich, whipped body butter with the subtle scent of coconut with delicate rose notes.
