GIVEAWAY! Just try not to eat it...

This swanky vanilla bean skin cream is made by an awesome lady named Jody Berry at her Oregon farm. I'm building up the courage to ask her to adopt me so my name can be Winona Berry and I can wear flowers in my hair and take baths in organic lotion.

Seriously, this stuff smells amazing, does wonders for cracked winter skin, lips, or pound cake (KIDDING! But only because it says Resist the urge to eat it on the label.), and I'd love to give a little tub to you, my friend, along with a personalized haiku and a couple other little goodies.

And guess what? All you have to do is leave a comment. I'll choose a winner at random on Monday. Good luck!

Update: Wendy is our winner! Thank you all so much for entering, and keep an eye out for more random giveaways in the future--your comments were so cute, how could I not do this again?!

Oh wow, I had a pot of vanilla custard moisturiser once and it was amazing, but it ran out and they stopped making it... so please enter me into this one!!!!

Resist urge to eat.. sounds like a challenge to me! Cos it would be. & I'm pretty sure I'd suck at it. Mmm.. vanilla bean skin cream...

I hope shipping to foreign shores wouldn't be an issue ^^;; It looks so cute!

This stuff looks delicious - I want to eat it!

sophie said...

YUMMMM.
Looks delicious.
And...you know...moisturizing.

VERONICA said...

My verification word is "chnohar". When I first saw it, I thought it said "chocha". This is why I deserve the giveaway :)

Mary said...

I know it says don't eat, but what about a small lick? That can't hurt, right?

mansirl said...

Claudi said...

Mmmm, vanilla. Me likey.

EJ said...

Oooh, yes please. 2009 (I have decided) is my year for winning competitions. May as well start as I mean to go on... ;)

Suzy said...

um. i think this whole time i thought you were british and really into american politics. i have no idea what put my crazy mind under that assumption, but send me a tub of this lotion and i will apply it to the apparent crack in my head for a speedy recovery.

cheers, mate!

Diane said...

My verification word was rash, I hope that's not foreshadowing ;)

Oh wow this stuff does look good enough to eat. It looks like a fabulous product.

Count me in, kitten. It couldn't be any dryer up here in MN. Last night, I put moisturizer on my face, got in bed, and then couldn't remember if I'd moisturized yet BECAUSE MY FACE WAS SO DRY. Eesh.

Unknown said...

I adore you! I hope the extra goodies are a matching pair of those blue tights you had!
And yippee for vanilla!

Kim said...

I shall comment in haiku form in order to butt kiss with style:

Winter skin! It hurts
Mosturize the dry and yucky
Nothing seems to help

Okay, that was lame. But I tried.

WendyB said...

If you were Winona Berry, you could be related to my sister, Terri Berry.

Anonymous said...

I had a friend named Carrie who seriously dated a boy whose last name was Berry.

Pick me please... That looks divine!

As it's -14°C right now outside, I guess I could use some of that cream..

nadarine said...

My current lotion smells like ass, and I suspect other people have begun to notice this. Fancy vanilla lotion would be a welcome remedy.

Loren said...

I'm in it for the Haiku.

The cream would be an excellent bonus though.

This looks incredible. I would probably try to taste it just for the kicks.

Anonymous said...

I can't imagine that lotion would taste good, no matter how it smells. :D

Mmmmm... carrot and vanilla? It's the little things that make us happy.

Heather said...

You crack me up- wearing flowers in your hair because your name is Winona Berry. LOL! I bet that stuff smells GREAT, so count me in!

MaRy Mo!!! said...

I have to WORST case of winter dry skin. My EYELIDS get sore and dry and swollen and a little purple.

Lopi said...

Hmmm, tempted.
How many calories per spoonful?

Kidding! Count me in, Winona.

(Oh, and you're Greek only if you want to!)

Now I just want to change my last name to Berry too, darnit.

Birdie! said...

"Resist the urge to eat it" - I'm bad at that... That's how I learned Mr Sketch markers smell good, but don't taste very good.

Dondasaurus Rex said...

i can leave a comment!

done and done.

kansas said...

this would be so wonderful for my little face considering all of this crazy weather we've been getting. yay for oregon farmers!

Unknown said...

My girlfriend would love it.

And I would probably enjoy licking it off her

That is all

Anonymous said...

That sounds absolutely scrumptious. And I want her to adopt me too. How cute is the name Rhandi Berry?? It would make me feel like a Strawberry Shortcake doll... with scented hair and a little tiny pet.

Anonymous said...

Yum! Vanilla is one of my favourite smells :]

Kate said...

Oh man.... I lust for this.

Jen said...

Looks amazing. I really want!

Jam said...

Ooh, I love non-food food-smelling body things!

Mortician Rachel said...

Mmmmm, I do love beauty products with a tasty scent. My boyfriend does too! The way to a man's heart really is through his stomach, which is fine by me: I'd rather smell delicious than have to dress up all the time, haha!

Anonymous said...

carrot + vanilla = mmmmmmmmmmmm

jacquelyn said...

I really just want a personalized haiku. But lovely smelling lotion would be cool too.

Bekah said...

if you do get adopted, please convince her to adopt me, too! we could wear birkenstocks, and people would call us the berry sisters! bekah berry... sounds good to me!

Anonymous said...

Hmm methinks oopsie as my verification word does not bode well for me. But I love the blog!

CWYT said...

this would be wonderful for waking up in the morning. i'd slather it on, then get back into bed and fall asleep smelling my wonderfully soft skin

allison said...

I almost typed "yum-o!"... which made me realize I need to stop leaving the food network on when I'm cooking, no matter the show... Rachel Ray is invading my thoughts (and is not welcome).

Anyway, great giveaway! Thanks, Winona!

Winona Berry would be a killer name. Seriously.

If I had intense poetry skills, I would definitly write a haiku about how yummy this stuff looks.

JoJo said...

Sierrah Raine said...

Ahh I want to eat it..

SaturdayJane said...

Hee hee! Winona Berry! That's adorable. I imagine Winona Berries make the BEST DARNDEST PIE.

Also, the Word Verification thing on here wants me to say 'entickp'. I am sorry, Blogger. I can't verify that that is actually a word.

Or maybe it should be? We could start a revolution.

YUM. Me + vanilla = YES PLEASE! <3
