love thursday: gifts and bees

* Hurry and sign up! The Ultimate Blog Party ends tomorrow!*
*Also: Get over to i-Mommy’s place for a fun game giveaway!*

This Love Thursday I’m celebrating gifts and bees.

Burt’s Bees, that is, and a lovely gift of their products from a dear blog friend, Geggie of So . . . What Else, What Else, What Else?

You see, a little while ago, I helped Geggie out with a small blogging issue, and she said she’d send me a thank you gift. And boy did she ever.

Burt’s Bees gift pack from Geggie

Hand soap, hand sanitizer, body wash, shampoo, lip balms, lotions, cremes, and even an adorable bee-covered shower cap–and two travel cases to boot!

I am now an official Burt’s Bees addict after only a few days of the all-natural stuff; as I told Geggie, I just can’t stop sniffing my hands after washing them with the Citrus & Ginger Root hand soap. So lovely!

Anyway, for this Love Thursday I am not only expressing my love of Burt’s Bees products (by the way, woohoo Durham, NC, my home for 4 years!), but also thanking Geggie, encouraging you to go over and visit her, and letting you know that our generous Geggie, through the Ultimate Blog Party, is also giving away $100 worth of products from Burt’s Bees Naturally Ageless skin care line (#91 on the prize page)–you just need to sign Mr. Linky at the Ultimate Blog Party to enter.

And that’s why I’m celebrating gifts and bees today.

Happy Love Thursday everyone!
