Miss Moon's "Get One" Giveaway: Raw Ingredient's Body Scrub & Butter!!

Hi, My name is Audrey... you all may know me as Miss Moon. I'm here to say that I have dry skin.

No, SERIOUSLY dry skin...

I think it's because I'm a Scorpio who was born in the year of the Snake, so I'm a little bit reptile, a little bit arachnid (sings to the tune of Donny and Marie's song.. lol).

But I return to my previous statement, my skin STAYS dry year round, but during the winter I find myself especially dry and scaly, which is truthfully... not cute. And I have invested so much money on lotions, potions and topical rememdies in the past, so I consider myself something of an expert. A pHD in ashy-ology, if you will. LOL

Is it just me, or does the great smelling products fail to sufficiently nourish dry skin? And products that does a bang up job moisturizing... smell like crap! It sucks, truthfully.

When I was approached to do a product review from Rita of Raw Ingredients, I went into it with an open mind, but wasn't really expecting a dramatic response, especially when its winter time.

Rita sent me two of her goodies to sample, a Body Scrub and Body Butter, both in the delightful "Sexy" scent, and I've been using it for over a month now and I love them both!!! I actually use both the scrub and butter when I do my nails and tootsies. I'm unemployed now, so its difficult to head out to the nail salon twice a month for a mani-pedi...

I use the scrub on my hands and feet after a good soak and finally slather on a healthy supply of the body butter after painting my nails..

Not only does my skin look fabulous, the smell is truly intoxicating!!! And what's most important... the moisture is lasting without being icky and greasy, and hours later, my skin's still super soft!!

But of course, you do not have to take my word for it. I'm teaming with Raw Ingredients to offer one lucky reader a chance to win a body butter and scrub of their own to try!!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!!

Hey everybody... as of a few hours ago, I was recently discharged from the hospital where I stayed for three days with bronchitis. It was definitely a wake up call for me to give up smoking, which heavily contributed to my stay there. I will not be posting as frequently for the next week or so (I need to really rest and get better and get used to the patch! lol), but I did have to take a moment to announce the winner of the Ose (Uh-seh) Giveaway!!

Congrats to YOU, Jae Lanae!!! Check your email soon, Ose will be dropping you a line to arrange for delivery!

:::drools::: Curvy-Friendly Vintage Wear by Ose (Uh-Seh)!!

Being a plus size lover of vintage apparel, I can definitely speak on the difficulty of finding plus size clothing in vintage shops. It really makes you wonder what the chubby girls were wearing back in the day! LOL

Fortunately,  a new consignment shop specializing in clothing for curvy girls has launched earlier last  month, Ose (Uh-Seh), created by the writer of the awesome Tumblr blog Mind of a Curvy Girl.

Ose decided to name the line after herself because it reflects who she is, “All my life, people have not known me for my real name pronounced “Uh-Seh”. I want this line to reflect who I am, and how I want encourage beauty and fashion in every plus size woman I have the opportunity to meet through my clothing.”.

On September 11, 2011 Ose (Uh-Seh) launched it's cyber home, www.oseuhseh.com in addition to having a “pop up shop” launch party at Paper Doll Boutique where Ose (Uh-Seh) will be sold for a limited time. Ose (Uh-Seh) will continue to have “pop up shop” locations in stores around NYC and also have trunk shows in the New York area and beyond. But you don't have to wait for the pop up shop to hit your area!! Here are a few of my favorite items that's currently up for grabs!!

Sheer Delight Black Dress (Size 20, $75.00)

Sequin Flower with Mesh Neckline Top (Size L, $40.00)

Fluorescent Pink Jacket (Size 12/14, $20.00)

Egg Shell Blue Snake Print Bag... FREE, for one lucky reader!!!

That's right, Ose was gracious enough to offer up my favorite item for a giveaway!!! And although I really want to grab this bag and run for the hills screaming "It's mine... down, down, down... go, go, go... mine, mine, mine!!!" a la Daffy Duck, I wont. LOL

Hey Guys!!

The WONDERFUL people over at Photobucket (Visualize my side-eye here!) are apparently hard at work on something that has my blog looking like the hot mess you see before you.



Suffice to say, I am hoping that whatever work they're hoping to accomplish.... that is gets resolved successfully (And Quickly!)

Miss Moon's "Get One" Giveaway!!!!

I've posted about a few of the songs from John Legend's collaboration with The Roots, "Wake Up" on this blog so far, and I am so happy it's finally available in stores. I've known for a few weeks now that my latest "Get One" Giveaway would have to be the C.D.!! Hooray!!!!



I'm so happy that the sale of every copy creates money for Arts Education and supports all of the advocacy efforts of Americans for the Arts, as I'm a former Music Education major. I am a firm believer that exposure to The Arts enriches the lives of children and I'm super proud that in a small way, this giveaway will support this.
