Actual Organics Giveaway: Winner Announced & Free Shipping

When we’re so focused on food, we can sometimes forget that what we put on our bodies matters almost as much as what we put in our bodies. After all, skin is the largest organ, and it absorbs everything: the smog from your morning commute, the sodium lauryl sulfate from your body wash, the methylparaben in your body cream. In a nourished home, it’s critical that we not only focus on the foods that nourish our bodies, but also our environment and how we care for our bodies. Wellness extends beyond the kitchen table.

This week Nourished Kitchen has teamed up with Actual Organics to offer a Health Beauty Kit featuring Miessence certified organic soap, travel toothpaste, travel intensive body lotion and a lip balm. Miessence is a company that started in a kitchen in Australia and became the world’s first certified organic skin care range in 2003. Joanna found it through searching for genuinely ‘good enough to eat’ skin care ingredients and, having suffered from acne for many years, realized that what she used on her skin mattered as much as what she ate. Advising and promoting this extensive range of products seemed like a logical next step to compliment her wellness coaching. Many products are certified organic, to food-grade standards, by Australian Certified Organic and the USDA.

Actual Organics is the vision of Joanna, who feels that balance in life is fundamental to health, wellness and happiness. What we eat, breathe, use on our body and how we think affects us, thus Actual Organics’ wellness coaching is guiding individuals to switch from the standard American diet to one that focuses on nutrient-dense foods, as well as adopting simple changes in the home that can assist in “Detoxing your body & our World.”

The Winner

Gena of Girl Gone Domestic won this giveaway and will receive a Health Beauty Kit from Actual Organics. The kit contains a certified organic geranium & coconut oil cleansing bar, mint travel toothpaste, travel intensive body lotion & a jaffa lip balm. (Valued at $29.00 Canadian).

For those of you who didn’t win this won, keep in mind that Actual Organics is offering FREE SHIPPING on orders over $100. It’s a great way to stock up on some high quality skin care products. Remember, what you put into your body is only part of the story; what you put onto your body matters too.

We also have some more great giveaways scheduled for this month!

    I signed up for the newsletter, emailed the link to several friends (though I didn’t realize you had an email link, so then I emailed it to another person with your link as well), and I think my favorite tip (other than to eat more butter, as I always say “everything’s better with butter”) was to keep the house cooler for better sleep and energy savings. I am also exciting about the toothpaste, we’re always looking for a more perfect toothpaste.
