I<\/span> hope you’ve noticed by now that I really don’t bother with reviews and giveaways if I can’t stand behind the product. I guess that kind of predisposes me to positive reviews, but I just don’t want to clutter up my space, not to mention take up your time, with a lot of random junk. That’s why I haven’t had a lot of stuff to review earlier this year — nothing caught my attention as worthy. And then, in classic it-never-rains-it-pours fashion, I’ve recently been offered all sorts of neat stuff to share with you. <\/p>\n

First, there was the MoonJars<\/a>, and you seemed to agree with me that that was a pretty cool idea. Then came the book Hell is Other Parents<\/em><\/a>. (That works in to today’s giveaway – wait for it.) And now, let me tell you about Burt’s Bees<\/a> products.<\/p>\n

I’d seen the Burt’s Bees products in stores, and knew they had a reputation for quality, but had never tried their products until my sister-in-law included one of their little tins of lip balm in a Christmas gift a couple of years back. It’s hands-down my favourite lip balm ever, and I’ve always got at least two tins on the go. I keep one in my purse, and one on the bedside table. It’s got this refreshing little zing of peppermint — love it!<\/p>\n

Since then, I’ve also tried some Burt’s Bees tinted lip gloss (liked the consistency and the texture, but the colour I chose made my teeth look a bit yellow) and we’re on our third container of Burt’s Bees baby wash. So when I was offered a collection of Burt’s Bees products to review, including a small sample pack to give away, of course I said yes. <\/p>\n

When the package arrived, I was taken aback by its heft — I had no idea Burt’s Bees had such an extensive line of high-end products! So far, I’ve tried the night cream<\/a> (I’m torn — I really like it, but using ‘night cream’ makes me feel old!), the exfoliating body wash<\/a> (LOVE!) and the Miracle Salve<\/a> (LOVE!) <\/p>\n

Here’s what I have to share today: a Burt’s Bees Radiance Healthy Glow kit set including sample-size Radiance day, night and eye cream, body lotion, bar soap, exfoliating body wash, and lip shimmer; plus a tin of the best lip balm ever; and a bonus full-size container (not shown) of peppermint-rosemary body wash. AND, because I’m having an “Oprah’s favourite things” moment, except here you get club soda instead of champagne, I’m including my slightly used but well-enjoyed copy of Hell is Other Parents <\/em>as well. Think of it as a “indulge yourself because you deserve it” kit.<\/p>\n

Sound good? All you have to do is leave a comment on this post, between now and midnight EST on Tuesday, September 8, telling me why you are worthy of a little self-indulgence right now. (Come on, surely you can come up with something!) You must be willing to share your mailing address with me so I can mail the prize pack out to you. A winner will be chosen at random based on comments received. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
