LuSa Organics Giveaway!

I am pleased to be teaming up with my friend Rachel to bring you a giveaway courtesy of her family business, LuSa Organics.  My own family is full of LuSa fans.  There were shrieks from Larkspur and Beatrix when we recently received our latest LuSa order, a variety of Rachel’s wonderful soaps (It’s hard to choose, but the girls’ current favorite soap is the Lemongrass and mine is the Time Traveler followed closely by the Lavender Goat’s Milk soap.)  My go to gift when I know a friend could use a boost is the LuSa Organics Delight Gift Collection.

In Rachel’s words, “LüSa Organics creates exquisite, effective body care for babies and children and handcrafts moisturizing soap for the whole family. Though we’re a young company, we’ve been featured twice in Mothering magazine! We’re best know for our cloth diaper safe Booty Balm and Baby Wipe Juice.”

Lusa Organics

Rachel and  her husband Pete live in rural Wisconsin where they homeschool their two children and run their family business together.  LuSa Organics is named after their kids, Lupine and Sage. Rachel also writes a natural lifestyle blog, Clean and is currently working on her first book.

I love the way that Rachel and Pete involve their children in their business:

“Once a week I load my kids into the car and the whole family heads in to our LuSa Organics business space. It’s my one day a week to work on site – developing new products, blending new scents, and making product prototypes for private label customers.”

“Yesterday I reflected on how this day works for my kids. Are they just spending the day waiting for me to finish my work, or are they learning? And in that moment in the other room I overheard Pete teaching Sage long division. Pete took a quick break from bookkeeping to explain the math to Sage, who had been carefully measuring and drawing something to scale all morning.

Meanwhile Lupine was singing and dancing (as usual), cutting some treasures out of paper, working on a puzzle, drawing, and helping me quality check the soaps. ”

I love Rachel’s dream for the future of LuSa Organics:

“I have a dream of LuSa owning an organic farm where we could grow our own organic herbs and ingredients. Imagine rolling fields of organic mint, comfrey, lavender, and calendula. We would build or renovate a small barn in which to distill and press oils, dry herbs, and transform these basic ingredients into our healing organic body care.”

For today’s giveaway Rachel is offering to the winner a choice of either a Delight Gift Collection OR an assortment of baby goodies: cloth diaper safe Booty Balm, Baby Wipe Juice and a Sleeping Potion.

edited to add:  How about a free bar of LuSa Organics naked soap with any order? We’ll choose the soap, you type “SoapForMe” in the comments field of any order placed before July 15

  1. We are expecting a little one soon and would love try some of Lysa’s organic baby products! Sounds like a wonderful company to support.

  2. I am excited about the chance to try these products! Totally checking out the blog, too! Thank you!

  3. The gift pack really looks nice. Do they do anything unscented? Even natural scents from essential oils can drive my sniffer nuts. The citrus is probably the best choice for me.

  5. I’m a grandma originally from Mi. U.P./No. Wisconsin. I love the idea of this family business rooted in this beautiful place I miss. What a great way and place to raise a family. I’d love to try these beautifully and creatively packaged organic products!

  6. Gosh, I have just about run out of all the yummy things in my bathroom, could use a sleeping potion but would choose the Delight Gift Collection!

  13. We love LuSa over here too. I love the essential oil blends and the soaps. My little girl uses the Sleeping Potion and even my tough guy husband uses the lotion bars on his feet!

  16. I’ve been looking for a good wipes solution so I can switch to cloth. I would love to try the other baby stuff, too! Thanks!

  34. What a wonderful giveaway – thank you for the opportunity for this. I have enjoyed Rachel’s blog for several months now thanks to a sister homeschooling mama. When her birthday came around, I just HAD to order her some LuSa treats. She loved them! I’d like to give them a try as well. 🙂

  35. Very excited about this giveaway! I just heard about LuSa from a friend and can’t wait to try it out. Thanks for the bio on the family, love supporting a fellow homeschooling mom!
