March Into Spring, badger balm

Welcome to the March Into Spring Giveaway Hop

This event is hosted by The Review Wire. Each blog participating has a prize that is at least $25 and related to spring in some way. Make sure to stop by The Review Wire because they are sponsoring The Grand Prize, a $200 Objects With Purpose Candle Gift Basket! After you enter my giveaway, Flutter by the other blogs to see what “Spring has in Store” for you in the giveaway department!

One of my favorite winter skin products these past few months has been Badger Balm‘s basic hand balm. It kept my hands from getting dry and cracked. So, as spring rolls around, I was thrilled to learn some more about their balms for gardeners. Yes, it is time to open up the shed, get out the hoe and seeds and work those hands in the ground. They were certainly need some relief. The Badger Balm Anti-Bug Sunscreen SPF 34 and the Practical Balms for Gifted Gardeners Gift Pack both fantastic ways to save your skin as you head outside to play, plant and reap in the garden. Among the benefits of Badger Balm products are that they are made in the USA, use organic and natural ingredients and a little goes a long way. You definitely get a quality product that lasts and is good for you. I am happy to offer this prize pack (a $33 value) as part of the March Into Spring Giveaway Hop! Please follow the Rafflecopter giveaway rules below and I look forward to seeing who wins at the end of the month. Be sure to stop by all of the other sites too in order to see what they have to offer and enter to win the grand prize listed above. Best of luck to all!!

I’m happy with Tomatoes 🙂 We’re doing a bit of landscaping this year so my real garden will need to wait another year – then I’m all about bell peppers!

Becky Elmuccio March 16, 2013 at 8:35 pm: We’re getting a ton done in and around the yard. I am looking forward to the potential!

I love gardening and this year I am looking forward to growing peas and green beans which I am determined not to kill. I’ve had huge successes with so many veggies but those not so much!

Becky Elmuccio March 16, 2013 at 8:37 pm: I am hoping to get my peas in this year. We do Green Arrow ones and they work nicely in our zone.
