Giveaway :: The Hive

Hi everyone! I have a great giveaway today from Trisha, the owner of The Hive. Here is Trisha to tell you more about her shop.


The Hive started from a desire to purify the products that touch our skin on a daily basis. There are so many chemicals and harmful ingredients in over the counter soaps, deodorants, lip balms, lotions etc. It made us want to not only make sure that we were no longer coming in contact with these ingredients but also educating our friends and family about the harmful side effects that can be attributed to using these products that contain ingredients such as sulfates, phthalates, aluminum and parabens. All of these ingredients have been linked to minor skin irritations all the way to various forms of cancer. 


The Hive uses all natural ingredients, the finest oils and butters, clays and herbs while trying to use as many certified organic and fair trade ingredients as possible. We make small, quality controlled batches, through a traditional process used for centuries. Our soaps will make you "squeaky clean". You can feel good about using our products as we do not hide any ingredients and there are no words you can not pronounce on the labels. Everything is natural and handmade.

You can also read along via my blog for my personal adventures in crafting, gardening, living an organic, chemical free lifestyle and for weekly Etsy interview features. 
What's up for grabs?
A $20 gift certificate to The Hive so that you can buy some items of your choice.

How to Enter: *please leave a way to contact you is you win*
Visit The Hive and let me know at least one thing you would buy with your gift certificate.

Additional Entries: 
Visit Trisha's blog and say hello! Follow along if you like what you see.

The giveaway winner will be announced on November 20th. Good luck.

  10. Nice shop Trisha! Everything looks divine!
    Lemongrass and pink grapefruit soap? Yes please! And I have some handmade wash clothes that my mother-in-law made and I just adore them, so I would certainly order a set of four of them if I were to win this here giveaway. In fact, I'll probably order them if I don't win :)

  13. Such beautiful stuff...I think I'd go for a lip balm, probably peach (but they all sound gorgeous), and some soaps for sure. I've never tried a soap with clay or activated charcoal, that'd be very interesting!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Also her blog is lovely! Filled with my other favorite things besides vintage and antiques <3 food and outdoorsy-ness!

  15. I'd probably go for the cinnamon vanilla oatmeal soap, or the activated charcoal soap! I'd love to try a natural alternative to fighting breakouts. I love the ideology behind this shop. I am sort of a granola hippie type so this is right up my alley ;)

  19. YAY! Trisha is my favourite. I already have a bunch of her goodies from the shop, but I could always go for more. I'm actually just running out of her soap now.

    If I could grab one thing I would definitely try her new cinnamon vanilla oatmeal soap. (Trisha hate's the smell of cinnamon, but she knows just how much the rest of us love it, so she made this soap special for everyone else. Sweet, right!!?)
