Rachael's Homemade Natural Soap giveaway

Meet Rachael. She has an amazing etsy shop where she sells her homemade natural soap. She even sells them at local craft fairs as well.

Recently she sent Mandy and I some of her soaps to try out. They are absolutely wonderful! There are so many delicious scents to choose from. I have the Grapefruit Ginger scent in my shower and I love the smell that hits me as soon as I step in. It really wakes me up in the morning!

Mandy said what she loves about the Honey Almond Oatmeal is that the little chunks of oatmeal make it exfoliating. You just can't beat that they are all natural too. I like knowing that I am not putting a bunch of chemicals all over my skin. Really, you should try this soap. You will not be disappointed.

Rachael also sells crocheted bath scrubbies. They are so cute and so great with the soap! What a perfect gift to get a loved one some homemade soap and some bath scrubbies. You can't go wrong!


Today, Rachael is generous enough to offer one of our readers the chance to win 3 bars of soap in the scent of your choice! All you have to do to enter is become a fan of Rachael's etsy shop and then leave us a comment telling us what scents you would choose. For a second entry you can also become a fan of Rachael's facebook page. Also, Rachael is offering our readers a fabulous discount. During the giveaway, if you make a purchase at Rachael's shop, you can get 2 free face scrubbies! Just be sure to put 'little birdie secrets' in the notes to seller. Good Luck! This giveaway will end on Sunday, March 6th at 11:59 pm PT.
