I love using the products as they are all natural and healthy for my family,esp the children. The fragrances are nice,warm and just much safe the all the chemical filled products out there!!
I love the rose toner and the Om Shanti soap. I’d love to try the chandra or tantra bath salts, or the scrub soap! 🙂
I retweeted this giveaway (MedusaQTree)!

Baby balm for little one’s bum bum. Natural, safe, and it works 🙂
And I’m already a fan on FB!
For me – rose toner and herbal clay cleanser and one of the lovely soaps. For baby – baby powder, healing skin ointment. Looking forward to trying out the baby balm soon too!
Became a fan of Oh My! Handmade Goodness on Facebook. Didn’t realize there was a facebook page. Silly me!
I do my best to choose natural products because there’s so much I can’t control about what goes in and on my body and my baby’s… I can control our “lotions and potions”, our food, and the environment in our little abode. Better for me and baby! And better for the environment.
And just became a follower on Twitter!
I would love to put on the chocolate mint lip balm everyday!
I choose natural products everywhere i can because it is important to me to do everything i can to limit exposure to chemicals, toxins and unnecessary ingredients.
WhOoOP! oh Annointment giveaway, you’ve made my day. The body butter smells like delicious chocolate smoothness and it gave my preggo and now non-preggo belly a glorious sheen of awesomeness. *fave*
Ok, really? a seperate comment for each task completed? here we go
Tweeted and followed!
Facebook friended both of ya!
Commented on Facebook about the giveaway and linked to the blog.. ;D Think that about covers it, hmm?
Cheers ladies.. and thanks for spreading the handmade, natural products love.
The chanda bath salts look devine! 🙂
I am a fan! 🙂
Just fanned Anointment. Thanks for letting me know about a great product! 🙂
I like the sound of the healing skin ointment and I really dig the packaging – this would make a beautiful baby shower gift – I’m hoping to win this for a friend who’s expecting in January 🙂
I’m a Facebook fan of Annointment
I am Facebook fan of yours
I follow you on RSS (coz I love your site)
I’m just about to add you to my Twitter list too 🙂
Love this stuff. The soap is the BOMB for taking off makeup (cleanly, the first time, not having to scrub and scrub at mascara!) and shaving as well as being a great all over cleanser.
Plus, the sherpa wipes are great for helping the schmutz come off…and I hear the lady who makes them is terrific. 😉
My favorite Anointment product is… do I have to chose just one? Om Shanti soap is my long standing absolute favorite scent, the Rose Toner is something I use every single day, the Baby Balm is my #1 favorite baby product.
I refuse to just give one answer to this question! 🙂
I’m already a fan on FB, of course, and may I just say that the owner of Anointment is amazing?
One more time, because I just love this giveaway, if I was to ever get pregnant again (unlikely!), Belly Butter would be the first thing I buy. Thanks to all to brought this giveaway to OMHG!
I fell in love with anointment after using their push cream after having my baby. I am a loyal fan now. I only use natural products for myself and my family… why take any chances not knowing all the chemicals that could be lurking??
The peppermint soap sounds refreshing, it’d be a great pick-me-up in the mornings!
I choose natural skin care products for my family because we all have sensitive skin. My son also has eczema. It’s better for our skin!

I love Anointment’s belly butter! I used it while pregnant with my son and thought it was great! Left my belly soft and moisturized, no stretch marks and no itchiness from stretched skin! Now I gift it to all my pregnant friends!
I became a fan of oh my! handmade goodness on fb
I love all this feedback as much as I love making every single one of these products. They are all a labour of love.
Push…I wish I could shout from the rooftops how nice it is for post-partum soreness…and those pesky “h” words that sometimes don’t go away as soon as you’d like after birth!
My hands down favourite product (to make and to use) is the Belly Butter, who can resist the chocolate scent? Not I.
And a fan of Anointment!
PS: Obviously I’m exempt from winning, but I couldn’t help but chime in 🙂
Although I have never tried Anointment (I love the name btw- flattery counts right?) My daughter Elly only gets the best stuff for her skin. No invasive soaps or chemicals. We would LOVE to try these products in our household!
We only use natural skin products in our household because they are the best for our skin… Duh.
🙂
I’d love to try their herbal clay cleanser as I have super oily skin. I try to buy natural homemade skincare products for my family since it has less junky ingredients.
I subscribe via email.
I love Anoitment soaps. My favourites are Om Shanti and Lavender.
I’d love to try the oatmeal and honey soap! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I buy natural products because my family has sensitive skin and chemicals tend to irritate it!
I’m your fan on facebook!
I’m subscribed to your mailing list!
I have sensitive skin and when my daughter was born, we had a lot of problems with her skin so I had to be very careful of what I used. Now I have a new baby and expect the same issues so hopefully we can avoid them this time around!
I choose natural products because my skin and my system does not tolerate chemicals. After years of working in the alternative health field I also know way too much about most standard products and how detrimental they are to our health and well being.
Thank you for giving people alternatives to the toxic products that are out there.
Keep up the good work!
i’ve used the anointment belly butter i was given as a gift and LOVED it. i’m now nearly 38 weeks and would love to pamper myself with some of their other products!
i follow on twitter & retweeted your giveaway!
…and, i’m now a new facebook super fan 🙂
i love omhg and i love natural skincare products!
and i’ve always wanted to try the anointment products! (i am a facebook fan AND subscribe to the mailing list)
Love the baby balm! All of the products look fantastic 🙂
The lemon poppyseed soap sounds yummy!
Love natural skin care and we LOVE their soaps!
Oh my gosh…I would have loved some of this post partum. I had no idea how sore I would be down there and for how long. The push perenium/bottom balm is on my list of must have’s next time around!!!
I’m also an OMHG follower!
I’m now an Anointment facebook fan too! 🙂
