Summer Thanks Giveaway! (CLOSED)

My posting has been a little sparse this summer because I've got a lot going on in my life. My Dad has a fairly rare type of blood cancer called Multiple Myeloma and he is currently in the hospital 5 hours away from home. He just received a bone marrow transplant and is on his way to kicking cancers butt! And you might also know that I am also chronically ill and I've been feeling quite under the weather as of lately. As you can imagine the whole situation is making for a very different kind of summer.

I'm trying to write as much as possible but I wanted to take a minute to thank you all for your patience and support. Beautiful Basics means so much to and I absolutely love being able to share my thoughts on natural products with you all. I test products and write about them for each and every one of you. Thank you for liking my blog and sharing posts and leaving comments. Each time I get to interact with you I am so appreciative of the support.




I've got two of my popular beauty grab bags to give to two lucky Beautiful Basics readers. This giveaway is open internationally, because so many of you come from places in the world that I've only ever dreamed of going. Give this post a like and use the Rafflecopter form below to enter. There are a lot of options but only two that are mandatory. You can do as many or a few entry options as you would like. All entries will be verified. The first randomly selected winner will be able to pick which bag he or she would like. Good luck!

    Thanks for such a great giveaway!
    My summer has been filled with school, but I don't mind, working on my psychology degree =)
    Lets see...I have discovered The Body Deli brand, which is skincare, haircare, bodycare, you should check it out sometime ! I am slowly but surely falling in love with the brand. Also, Araza Natural beauty coconut creme foundation, great stuff =) I have been dealing with my adult acne problem again, so I am trying new things, so far looks promising.
    Hope you are having a great summer yourself =)

    We did go to the lake one weekend, but it's been super humid and the LO has allergies that have been flaring up. But we still find fun things to do. We're gonna make a velcro dart board this weekend!

    We haven't done anything too exciting this summer. We have a new baby boy this summer, so we've mostly been staying pretty close to home. We did get to take him to do a lot of firsts though - first time swimming, first parade, first time at the park, and that is unbelievably exciting. Unfortunately, I've let my beauty routine kind of slide since I had him too. And I've been far more into new products for him than me. Though, I'm really sensitive to a lot of things, so some things that work for him have been doing double duty for me too. My new favorite use for everything product is organic coconut oil. It's great for him to prevent cradle cap, as a diaper rash cream, and on his skin, and it's great for me to use on my face, body, and hair. It also smells wonderful :)

    All summer I have been taking classes towards my Elementary Education Degree. I currenty have a ten day break before my fall classes start, so my mom and I packed up and we are on our way to the beach! I have never found care products for my skin that I absolutely love and I am always trying to find new things to try.

    This summer has been all about relaxing and resting. I have gardened, taken bush trail walks and walk for 40 minutes per day when I am not too sore. Relaxing on my deck and reading. Having fires at night is one of my best things to do.
