Today’s giveaway is brought to you by Wooly Moss Roots Sponsor: Moon Root Soaps.
We know the creative force behind Moon Root Soaps, Christelle, from the Eugene Saturday Market. I’ve mentioned Christelle here before and have written about how wonderful her products are. Our family loves her soap (some of our favorites lately are Pacific Northwest, Patchouli Lemongrass, and Minty Fresh.) Her shop is a great go-to spot for gifts. I’ve given her Doggie Shampoo to some special pooches in our life and when I gifted my sister with some Lavender Mint Body Butter, she requested more the next time her birthday came around. More recently Christelle has started making candles. Not only are the scents wonderful, just like her soaps, she uses natural dyes to give them color and they are awesome.
Now I’ll let Christelle tell you more:

Tell us a little about yourself and your business.
Christelle: I started my business in 2009 after teaching myself how to make soap from a book. I started out by making soap for family and friends, and then branched out to the local Farmer’s Market. I use 90% organic ingredients, and only scent using essential oils. Many soaps have organic herbs in them, which I source from my own garden. I recently started making 100% soy wax candles. They, too, are scented with essential oils, and I use organic spices to dye them (turmeric, paprika, cinnamon, etc.)

I strive to live simply, and love homesteading. My partner and I are searching for land so we can set up our own little farm, where we hope to live off the land. As for my interests, I’m constantly cooking, gardening, playing with wool (spinning, dyeing, knitting), making soap, hanging out with my chickens, brewing beer, hiking with my dog, or painting.

Which products do you personally use most?
Christelle: I use all 3 of my products daily: there are about 10 different soap flavors in my shower and I wash my hair with my Shampoo Bar. I use body butter when I get out of the shower, and then throughout the day for dry skin. I also use it for massage. And I always have a candle lit when I am home!

I’ll be running this giveaway a little differently than I normally do, which I’m really excited about. I will be using the Rafflecoptor widget that you see below. I’ve entered giveaways with the Rafflecoptor widget and loved how easy it was! So I decided to start using it for the giveaways here. It’s really easy to use.
To enter the giveaway, it will ask you to visit Christelle’s shop, Moon Root Soaps, and let us know what your choice of soap and candle would be. Then it will give you options for additional entries. You can get up to 25 entries for this giveaway and the widget makes them so easy to do. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do.
Thanks for the giveaway Moon Root Soaps!
