Disclaimer: A giveaway is found in this post.

On
a small island located in the middle of the ocean, near where the great
Indian Ocean and prodigious Pacific Ocean collide, dwells a small
eco-village. And in this small village, lived a man. Now, this was not
just any old man...

In
fact, this man, Malcolm Rands, holds a special place in my heart,
because he created the best soap I've ever used in my life. No joke.

I'd like to share the wealth, so I will be doing a giveaway for two bars of this newly discovered eco-friendly soap.

All you have to do is shoot me an e-mail, Gawkygreen@gmail.com, saying you want in on the contest, and I'll enter you in. I'll enter you in TWICE, if, you also make a comment on this post. And I'll enter you in a THIRD time, if you comment on our Two Girls Go Green blog. I'll pick a winner after the new years on January 5.*

I am getting way way way ahead of myself though, first, let me tell you a bit about the soap....see if you're even interested.

This soap came from Ecostore USA. It's created from vegetable oils and uses natural fragrances. They sent me their Lemongrass bar,
and I am very much in love with it. If you like the smell of a fresh
lemony scent, this'll make you melt in the shower. My skin cells are
pulsating just thinking about it. The smell is phenomenal, and it
lathers right up (which to me is extremely important). I love
bubbles.

Ecostore USA is extremely up front and open about its
ingredients too, which use none of those "nasty chemicals." For
example, the site says the lemongrass soap is made of:
*Sodium Palmate (palm oil)
* Sodium Cocoate (coconut oil)
* Sodium chloride (salt)
* Vegetable Glycerine
*
Tetra Sodium Etidronate and Tetra Sodium EDTA (antioxidants used to
preserve the stability of vegetable oils in soap base. Derived from
vinegar. Safe for skin)
* Lemongrass oil
* Titanium Dioxide

For
me, soap is a huge thing. Because I have extremely sensitive skin. Well
let's just throw it out there, I have eczema. It's hard for me to pick
out skin products, especially soap. This one has been rather
moisturizing, especially during this rough winter month.

The soap is $3.00, which is completely reasonable for a bar of soap, especially one that's good great for you [and the environment].

Ecostore USA also sent me vanilla shampoo and conditioner, which were fabulous as well. The shampoo and conditioner are reasonably priced—$21 for both—and they come highly concentrated, so a little bit goes a long way.
I picked out vanilla because I thought I would enjoy its smell (which
is nice, very light), but it also happens to be good for chemically
treated hair (which I don't have).

EcoStore,
which is a New Zealand based (the island I referred to in the beginning
of my story) business, just recently launched their branch in the US of
A, selling body care, hair care, baby care, pet care and household
cleaners. And right now you can get 25% off your order up until
December 31st—just type in ecostore08 at checkout. I think this nature-driven/family-owned e-store is going to be extremely successful.

But seriously, try the soap. It's amazing.
