Featured Sponsor Post -- Nahla Giveaway

Ever since posting about my beauty routine earlier this year, I've been in the process of reevaluating the things I use on my skin each day and have felt compelled to try and replace some of my conventional mainstays with organic alternatives. This is something I've been really passionate about (more on that later), so I'm excited to have the organic beauty line Nahla as a Simple Lovely sponsor.

Founded in 2001 by Santa Cruz native, Nicole Maust, Nahla products are handmade in small batches with artisanal processes that take weeks to complete. Using the purest, organic ingredients sourced from small farms and cooperatives, Nahla products are always 100% free of parabens, phthalates, synthetics and petrochemicals.

And, they're offering up a little "pick your pair" giveaway for one of my readers... Just visit the Nahala site and leave a comment by Wednesday, October 5th at midnight CST about the two products you'd most like to try. I'll announce a winner next Thursday, October 6th.

Good luck!

    This is so in line with what I have been thinking about lately! We're trying to be mindful about what we put in our bodies at our house, so it makes a lot of sense to do the same with what goes on our bodies too.

    The Luna Undereye Dream Cream and the Forest Mint Gentle Foaming Milk sound wonderful.

    I've heard about Nahla and have been dying to try them! But with a growing 17 month old girl, spending money on Mama has fallen by the wayside lately. I get the feeling that aside from being lovely products, they smell divine....

    Why, sure! I'm always on the lookout for an eye cream that works well without costing a fortune - I'd love to try theirs. I'd probably also try one of the masks - that honey one sounds lovely. Thanks!

    I'm noticing lines under my eyes. I'm not sure if it's because I've hit my thirties or that I'm just exhausted from three girlies under the age of 5. So I would love to try the Undereye dream cream.

    And with winter coming and the snow I would love something hydrating for my body and it would work in my hot baths - flowering quince bath + body oil.

    thanks for letting me see this new (to me) line!

    I switched to "natural" products years ago but recently found out that some of them still contain nasty ingredients. So now I'm switching things up again! So many of the Nahla products look amazing but I'm especially interested in the Brown Sugar Body Polish and the Camellia Antioxidant Facial Steam!
