Pure give-away..

Hello everyone! I am not quite grasping that we are already in full Autumn up here in Sweden..!?! It feels like a mere blink since we were all blogging away about the approach of Summer, and yet here we are now lighting candles, draping ourselves and our homes in layers of comfort and warmth.

We have had such a gorgeous Summer. The 'mini inspirations' were off school since early June till late August which meant we were able to enjoy a lot of fun filled quality time together.

Typically we spent a lot of time outdoors, in fact Scandinavians  almost 'move outside' in the warmer months of Summer. Well not literally of course, but we tend to spend as much time as possible under the blue sky, and we simply love the ability to do so. We need it you see, because come September the sun starts its journey further and further away from the top of the world and we are no longer able to absorb our daily dose of vitamin-D!

Add to this the fact that for the most part of the year we dress in layers of warm clothes to withstand the weather and cooler temperatures. Any opportunity (well almost.. ha!) to shed those layers and stretch bare limbs towards the nutritious rays of the sun is treasured deeply in our Nordic hearts!

But here we are in Autumn now, our faces slowly loosing that healthy & sun-kissed glow of Summer. I find that by the time the swimsuits give way to scarves and cozy layers, my skin & hair are in dire need of some TLC. In fact to me Autumn is all about nurturing & replenishing, and I tend to restock my bathroom cabinet with some good quality products that aim to do just that.

The skin is our largest organ and it absorbs everything we put on it - detergent, soap, perfume, make-up, lotions and potions. It all goes straight into our bodies. Chemicals, toxic waste and harmful content that unfortunately is highly present in most personal hygiene products enter our blood stream, our internal organs and cause damage.
As such, I am a huge believer in certified organic and biodynamic produce (see my recent 'detox series') and today I am thrilled to offer my Swedish readers a wonderful give-away which is hosted by 'pureskin'.

I came across 'pureskin' through a friend of mine, and since using their products I am totally hooked! 
Not only are they 100% Eco Cert, which means that most of their lotions and potions are so pure & natural you can actually eat them! Actually 'eat them' is exactly what your skin and hair will do. They will feed off the nutritional content with - in my mind - unbeatable results. To me 'pureskin' is pure skin food!

I haven't tried all the items in their collection but I am a happy and loyal user of their 'Face Care Eco' (both night and day creams), '100% Face Serum' (a must for Winter!) and '100% Eco Cert lip balm'. I wash my kids' hair in their shampoo, and I have also used the 'Special Care Cream' for dry little knees, elbows, and behinds. 

Pia, the founder is a generous & kind soul with a broad and impressive background in chemistry, biology, immunology, mineralogie and a lot more. But, with sincere modesty, she dismisses all of that as unimportant, and prefers to highlight her passion and determination to deliver the best and purest products on the market!
She makes all products in her private lab. Small, exclusive batches of natural & 100% certified organic goodness that has a healthy impact on the body as well as on nature!
An added reason to love both Pia and pureskin is that 5% of all sales go towards helping children and women in Tanzania, through the 'Yatima - heart to heart' foundation. Thank you Pia! xx
