Scrubbits Giveaway! 1 Week Supply

To celebrate my long-awaited (maybe just by me, but it's been a long time, anyhow) return to creating and selling my crocheted and sewn goods, I'd like to offer up a free set of Scrubbits to someone chosen at random. Even though I have hosted and promoted hundreds of giveaways on the About.com site, this will officially be my first ever giveaway.

70% bamboo, 30% silk Scrubbits

What are Scrubbits? It's a goofy name (I have long said that I should not be allowed to name things) I gave to these face scrubbies I made for myself. After a cancery scare last winter, I have been really trying to reduce what gross chemicals I grind into my face skin. Fortunately, you don't have to have a brush with death to avoid these chemicals, too. It's as easy as using a decent product to wash your face with, and avoiding those disposable cotton rounds. These disposables are stark white because they are bleached to death, and some even have weird perfume action. Unnecessary, I say! Can't we just plain wash our damn faces without all that strange chemical action?

Call me old fashioned, even call me a hippy, but I have learned lately that the people of the world are doing a lot of unhealthy stuff that goes against the laws of common sense. Why? Because someone on TV is doing it. That white-toothed smile in the magazine says you need it. The FDA approved it, so have another Big Mac.

Win a week's supply of Scrubbits!

Since working in media, I've learned the golden rule is not to 'treat others how you want to be treated', it most likely goes something like, 'Sell sell, sell'. Most companies honestly don't care what a product does to your body. As long as the FDA will let it slide, then it's all good. There is no Jiminy Cricket in the food and beauty industries, they all sleep very well at night thank-you-very-much. Flash to you in your jammies watching one of those sad, 1-800 number commercials from ambulance-chasing attorneys working on a class-action lawsuit for the same drug that some smiling bitch told you to buy two months ago. Because ladies had hernias and died for a miracle birth control that makes you not have zits. Died for lack of zits. Does it get any weirder or sadder than that?

Oh, anyway, I was talking about scrubbing your face. Sorry to bring things down back there, (puppies unicorn, rainbow). In light of all the horrendous weirdness, I have starting taking little steps to health-up the old homestead. One of those was to crochet my own bamboo/silk and cotton face scrubbies. This is why I love the bamboo/silk ones and make them for sale:

Add a bit of luxury to bedtime.

• Why Bamboo? (70%)

-- Bamboo is a naturally organic fiber
-- It is softer than cotton
-- Naturally hypoallergenic, antimicrobial and antibacterial

• Why Silk, too? (30%)

-- I use a 70% bamboo/30% silk blend to prevent the bamboo from expanding too much when it is wet.
--Silk is silk! Bathe me in it, it's so... silky smooth!
-- Silk also has natural cellular albumen, which is said to speed up the metabolism οf skin cells. Can't argue with a material that just might help slow the aging process!
Sooooo, for the winner of this contest, I'm sending out my very first giveaway prize, a week's supply of face Scrubbits!
