Give Away: Levi's Lye Soap

I'm so please to announce that Amanda of Homegrown and Beeyoutiful has recently expanded her soap making so in order to open a home based business. I love supporting cottage based industries! I typically find the products superior because of the attention to details as well as the love poured into the items, not to mention the fact that the producer has careful control over the ingredients.


The new business is called Levi's Lye Soap, named after her son, and it evolved from her need to find a product that was mild enough for his skin, specifically eczema . Real lye soap is the only soap he can use that is safe and non-toxic for his sensitive skin. Since she began making this soap for him, Amanda realized the entire family enjoyed the benefits of real soap. And soon, a business was born.


Each bar is handmade at her home in Virginia with her own homegrown herbs as well as natural coconut, vegetable and olive oils, and natural spring water.


To celebrate Levi's Lye Soap's Grand Opening, Amanda is giving everyone a 10 percent discount through February 28th (U.S. residents only). Just use the code "Homestead Revival" in the space provided for the coupon code when checking out.


Give Away 


To win 4 bars of Levi's Lye Soap...


1. Visit her Etsy store and look around. Tell me which of her four scents you would like to try the most, then come back here and leave a comment with the scent name. If you do not have a blog, please leave an email address so that I can contact you if you win.


2. Blog about this give-away to help get the word out about Amanda's new business, then come back here and leave a second separate comment and you'll be entered again. Note: You must include a link on your post back to this give-away. 


The fine print...  


This give-away is only open to U.S. Residents and closes on Friday, January 28th at 11:59 p.m. Winner should please respond within 3 days of being contacted.


Thanks for participating and spreading the word, friends!

  20. I usually prefer unscented things, but the honey oatmeal sounds lovely.

    ReplyDelete

  21. Definitely the honey oatmeal! The bars are almost too pretty to use!!!

    Homemade soaps are so comforting! I simply love them. I went to the website and the lavender is the scent that I would most like to try. Have a great day!

    Blessings,

  24. I can say from personal experience that this soap is amazing!! And the smells are wonderful!

    ReplyDelete

  25. This looks like wonderful soap! I would like to try the rosemary mint. I don't have a blog, but I will definitely tell my friends. (abstoner {at} comcast {dot} net.)

    ReplyDelete

  26. Hi Amy - Thanks for following my blog - Rabbitry Remarks and also for pointing me to Levi's Lye Soap by Amanda on Etsy. I think the Rosemary would be my favorite. I'm sure the hot water, suds, and scent from this soap in a warm bath, after emptying all those rabbit pans, would help restore my sense of smell to normal and provide a rich, pleasant environment for pursuing the latest seed & herb catalogs. It's January and I'm getting a new one every few days! Can't wait to rub-a-dub-dub!

    ReplyDelete

  27. All the soaps sound nice. My first choice of scents would be the Rosemary Mint (Sadie's Lavender sounds good too!). I like that they are made with herbs she growns herself.

  28. ...ooppss...that was supposed to be "perusing" catalogs while basking in a hot bath with the scent of Rosemary Mint! Must have been a freudian slip about wanting to pursue this great opportunity to register to win some handmade soap! Cate

    ReplyDelete

  29. Hi Amy. Tough choice! For me I would choose Rosemary Mint, but for my daughter who battles eczema now & then, I'd go with Honey Oatmeal. I don't have a blog so here is my email: saltbox1650@gmail.com

    ReplyDelete

  31. Oooh, that is a tough decision! I think Lavender would be my first choice, but the honey oatmeal is a strong second. Thank you for hosting this giveaway.

  41. I adore lye soap. I used to make it but haven't done it in so long. As much as I love the fragrances, I think I'd go for the unscented. Thanks for the giveaway. Lisa~

  44. I'm so excited for you AMANDA! What a great way to promote your shop! It is so hard to choose which scent I would like because they all sound so wonderful. The Rosemary Mint just catches my attention by the name alone, so I guess I would have to go with that!

    ReplyDelete

  45. Honey oatmeal would be my choice. I love the idea of soap making and would love to try this. I just made my first laundry soap last weekend and am so happy with it....there is just something about knowing "what is in what you use and eat"!

    ReplyDelete

  46. What a nice giveaway! I'd love to try all the scents, but if I had to choose I'd go with the Rosemary Mint.

    ReplyDelete

  47. Honey Oatmeal for sure!
    Thank you~

  52. LAVENDER everytime. I store my Yardley's English Lavender Soap in my linen cupboard. Wonderful.

    ReplyDelete

  53. Is homemade soap better for you than store bought soap?

  54. To Tanya:

    We use all natural pure vegetable oil.

    I hope this answers your question.

  55. I will pick a lavender for my wife! She is also trying out soap making. I will buy some from Levi as well. Great to see other home grown cottage industries.

  56. I love the honey oatmeal soap because it is super healthy and softening for you skin and the rosemary mint for the same reason its super healthy and clarifies your skin.

    ReplyDelete

  57. Beautiful soap! I agree with Maybelline, Lavender for me! Although, the Honey Oatmeal was calling to me, and is a close second.

    ReplyDelete

  58. Thanks for the opportunity to win the handmade soap! I'm no spring chicken and my skin is thin and dry, so I'll select the honey oatmeal as my favorite, but I'll bet all the others are great, too.

    ReplyDelete

  59. Thanks for hosting this giveaway! Me? I'd go for the honey oatmeal, although that lavender looks very nice. However, if I went for lavender, I'd never get to use it. My daughter would definitely steal it!

    ReplyDelete

  60. SO hard to choose, but I think it would have to be Rosemary Mint.

    ReplyDelete

  61. sadie's lavendar,rosemary mint and honey oatmeal sound wonderful!
