Facial Expression Giveaway
in continuing with our bath and body theme, this next giveaway is all about the face. more specifically how to get good face. and trust me when i say, it’s all about the exfoliation.
speaking of exfoliation, you are going to love our little giveaway today. i present you these fabulous hand-crocheted exfoliating face cloths by stacey over at blue palmetto tree.
the giveaway features a set of four, 100% cotton exfoliating crochet facial scrubbie cloths in white, pink, robin’s egg blue, and a coordinating multi-color. they each measure approximately 3.25 x 3.25 in (8.3 x 8.3 cm).
according to stacey, these hand crocheted facial scrubbies are:
strong, absorbent, and very durable. they can be used again and again, making them not only good for your face, but good for the environment too. you can use them with your favorite soaps, cleansers and toners.
when asked how she got started, stacey had this to say:
i have been crocheting for 32 years. my babysitter taught me how to crochet when i was a little girl. i love it! i always have a crochet project with me wherever i go.
and about where inspiration strikes:
color is what inspires me. i love any and every color. i think i have the largest color selection of ready made cloths. i am always looking for new colors.

April 16th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
my favorite beauty secret is to wear a minimal amount of makeup, make it look like you arn’t wearing makeup and only conceal your flaws, and if you are going to go dramatic, only do it on one part of the face (i.e dark eyeshadow and pale lips.)
April 16th, 2008 at 8:59 pm

exfoliate daily with a gentle scrub or polish.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
I get the comment that I look like a teenager a lot.
I think it’s because I’m a night owl and I tend to stay out of the sun. I also don’t smoke or lay out in the sun to tan, and I actually enjoy drinking water.
Plus, I started moisturizing when I was 24. I think that if you wait until you have wrinkles to moisturize, it’s not as effective as prevention.
Always wear sunscreen when you go out.
April 16th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
I use sunscreen daily, year round and I also use a moisturizer on top of it.
April 16th, 2008 at 11:50 pm
Cute!
Be gentle with your skin, don’t tug or pull it.
April 16th, 2008 at 11:59 pm
don’t frown or scowl alot, and smile often, so the wrinkles you have when you’re old won’t make you look mean
April 17th, 2008 at 2:10 am
My beauty secret! A bi-weekly facial with oatmeal and egg whites!
April 17th, 2008 at 4:18 am
Drink lots of water and for inexpensive moisturizing, after washing your face while it is still damp blot a little peroleum jelly (especially your lips and undereye area) it really works wonders!)
April 17th, 2008 at 4:39 am
eat lots of fruit and veggies and whole wheat products

April 17th, 2008 at 7:42 am
My favorite beauty secret is baby oil, works great as a makeup remover.
April 17th, 2008 at 7:42 am
Wear foundation with sunscreen in it. It works as well or better than regular sunscreen. I find regular sunscreen to be too greasy causing my face to sweat. The sunscreen then gets wiped off in as I wipe the sweat of my face. Regular sunscreen also promotes acne in my skin.
April 17th, 2008 at 8:32 am
just lipstick
April 17th, 2008 at 8:36 am
Before bed, put a thick layer of moisturizer on your feet and wear a nice soft pair of cotton socks. It will make your feet all pretty for sandal season.

I use a gentle cleanser every afternoon when I get home from work. In the mornings, I moisturize.
April 17th, 2008 at 10:11 am
My greatest beauty tip is that when cleansing and moisturizing my face, I consider my face to extend down to my collar bone and beyond. That way, my neck gets the benefit of all the beauty products I use on my face itself.
April 17th, 2008 at 10:29 am
Lots of water.
April 17th, 2008 at 10:39 am

My favorite beauty tip is to always put sunscreen on my neck, hands and chest as well as my face since those areas have thin, delicate skin and are as prone to sun damage as our faces.
April 17th, 2008 at 11:20 am

I don’t have a blog but I hope I am still allowed to enter. My beauty secret is to always remove makeup before you go to bed. If you don’t you will get tons of lovely black heads, white heads, and acne! None of which are fun. Plus, it will make your complexion drab instead of shiny and fresh. Please enter me in your giveaway.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Don’t ever go to bed without removing your makeup and cleansing your face. Ever.

think like you’re young, and it’ll be so.
April 17th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
don’t stress out just be cool, it’ll save you the frown lines.
April 17th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
Tea Tree oil is my favorite beauty

and rids your skin of toxins
April 17th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
Rinsing my mouth with peroxide helps keep my gums healthy and my teeth white.
April 17th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Noxema cream is a great nondrying facial wash.
April 17th, 2008 at 11:15 pm

April 17th, 2008 at 11:19 pm

April 18th, 2008 at 2:55 am
I try to stay well hydrated.
April 18th, 2008 at 11:25 am
