The power of plants compels you… The power of plants compels you!
Did I ever tell you that I came *this close* to being a botany major? I always had a hard time putting the pieces together in my head when it came to chem and bio, but botany was the one thing that made total sense to me.
I think it was because plants are just everywhere, so I was always thinking about them. I’d pass a garden on the way to the library at school and think “Oooh… The Calvin Cycle!” or be eating pineapple slices at lunch and have the words “crassulacean acid metabolism” pop into my brain.
LOL! What a nerd…
I still think plants are super cool, and they’re the driving force behind today’s giveaway, which features products from the Neutrogena Naturals line.
Neutrogena Naturals is a line of cleansers, moisturizers and treatments made without chemical sulfates, parabens, petrolatum, dyes and phthalates. Powdered by the plants, products in the line are made from 94% plant-derived ingredients.
“We leveraged natural plant derived ingredients where possible and the average of our line is 94% natural. The remaining ingredients were thoughtfully chosen from a comprehensive array of safe and pure ingredients to ensure safety and accessibility. For example, we made the choice to use synthetic fragrances over natural fragrances because synthetic fragrances offer more hypoallergenic options which ensures that the final product will be safe and gentle. But we’re working everyday to improve our technologies to find even more natural ingredients we can use.”
Prepare to get your plant love on in three, two, one…

P.S.
These giveaways are running for a few days each in the series, so you still have time to get in on the previous ones if you haven’t already, like…
I don’t like the cold weather, my skin gets so dry! Love this giveaway Karen!
I love the snow.
I’m not wearing socks! Brr, my toes are cold!
Today I cheated and ate an extra day’s chocolate from my advent calendar…I am ashamed T_T
I have a black thumb…..nothing survives!! I could kill crabgrass by accident.

When the weather is warm in December, it really bugs me. I miss white winters. 🙁
I love winter!
Great Giveaway! My fav flower is the tuberose.
i love the spring flowers- tulips and daffodils.
Do you have a green thumb? – I do, somewhat! I worked at a greenhouse/garden center for 2 summers as a teenager and really enjoyed it. And about the cold weather- I like it to an extent for the fun things you can do, like skiing, sledding, ice skating, dressing so cute in winter clothes, and fresh snow looks so pretty and picturesque. HOWEVER. I hate actually BEING cold. I’d rather be sweating out of every pore in my body and baking in humidity than shivering in the cold. So it’s positive that I own enough gloves, ski hats, winter coats, and big leather boots to last me 3 lifetimes 😛
I am making my grandmother’s cheesy mashed potatoes for Christmas!
I love the cold! But it’s still quite warm here ATM.
I can’t wait my Christmas party 🙂 I’m happy when my family is together!
My favorite flower is the Peony. My grandmother grew them when I was young & I fell in love with this big pretty pink or white flower. Wow, they smell really good too! As a nod to her, I used them in my wedding for bouquets & centerpieces. They are very expensive so I found inexpensive ways to recreate them. An online silk flower company made my GORGEOUS bouquets with look-a-like silks. For the centerpieces, I made 100 tissue paper flowers out of white, light pink, and medium pink colored paper. Everything was beautiful. 🙂
ha my ringtone is the intro theme music from Game of Thrones (I’m sure missing it–can’t wait for next season!!)
I have boring white socks on today
I like to look at the snow but not cleaning it off my car! Thanks for the giveaway!
Its very cold where i am so i have to choose warmth over style sometimes…i also love white roses and pastel colors make me happy in the winter.

I absolutely love these products. i have super sensitive skin, and they work great.

Do you have a green thumb? I really don’t know, I’ve never really every grown anything before.
What socks are you wearing today? None! I’m not wearing socks.
What ringtone do you have on your phone? One that sounds like a bird call.

Sometimes I feel like I have a green thumb and love gardening however I never get to reap what I sow, those squirrels beat me to it all the time. Happy Holidays.
I’m going to try my hand at making organic dog treats because I just adopted a new rescue doggie ! It probably won’t work and the oven will end up on fire (again) and then I’ll just give him Milkbones and call it a day. He deserves a great Christmas !
Happy Holidays to Everyone !
I live in SoCal, so of course I love cold weather!
I LOVE TULIPS
I don’t do much cooking or baking for Christmas as my mother makes so much of so many things but one day I expect to take over!
Oh man! I absolutely love that Neutrogena collection! The makeup removing cleanser is my all-time favorite! As far as plants in general go, I like sketching them! I love flowers in general, but I’m a big fan of hydrangeas growing in basic soil (they turn the most gorgeous shade of blue), irises, and lupins! I’m also a serious indie music nerd, so I made my own ringtone with an editing program. It’s the first 30 seconds of a song called “Black Cab” by an adorable little Swede named Jens Lekman. I’ve had it for years! My text notification is also a little snippet of the ditty from the end of Sixteen Candles (“If You Were Here” by the Thompson Twins)!
I’m baking a pumpkin pie for my Christmas celebration this year! Keeping warm with a busy oven. : )
My ringtone is Hark the Herald Angels Sing by Mannheim Steamroller. My phone’s always in a holiday mood.
So glad more companies are going the “natural” route – I’ve been slowly trying to limit the amount of nonsense in my products, which can be a bit harder than it looks in the beauty world.
No socks, since it was nearly EIGHTY DEGREES here today!! 😀
I’m trying really hard to have a green thumb LOL! I killed my first plant (a goldfish plant) but all of the plants I grew after that are doing a-ok! I now have mint, bamboo, and a few others in my apt.
Fave flower is daffodil.
Hey
I have 2 ringtones on my phone, the generic iPhone ring and Sweet Child O’ Mine, which is for my husband. I have had that ringtone for my husband since my first Nokia phone 10+ years ago.
I absolutely love gardenias
I love the cold weather, but I don’t like the dry skin that comes along with it.
My ringtone is Run the world(girls) by Beyonce =)
I don’t have a green thumb, I love lilacs and tulips and I only love cold wintery weather up until the holidays and then I am ready for spring!!! Unfortunately, where I live, cold weather can last up until April and May, as it did last year.
I absolutely hate cold weather.
I couldn’t live without a night cream in my rotation!
I have the opposite of a green thumb!
Totally getting homesick now that its closer to the holidays, missing my home in GA with my family there!
My ringtone is California King Bed by Rihanna. 🙂

I am wearing white socks
i just put lights up outside my home today!

I love argyle socks!

Not only do I not have a green thumb, I also have no real motivation to keep plants alive. I don’t hate them, but it’s like I can’t be bothered. I’m the worst.
My favorite flowers are mums.
Fave flower is carnation
My ringtone is the professional pirate song from muppet treasure island.
Love this brand, all their products are great! Thx!

Yellow stargazer lilies are my favorite!
Right now just wearing plain old black socks because I’m wearing black pants. Tonight it will be cute fuzzy socks with my pjs!

I am excited to start my Christmas baking. Do you bake anything special for Christmas?
Happy Xmas to all 3 of you 🙂
The rose if my favorite flower.
Peonies! I love them.
Peonies, tulips, orchids, roses, lily of the valley.. can’t decide 😉
I just made chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese peppermint frosting. Yum!
Grat giveaway and great blog also! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! 😀
I always make Pioneer Woman’s Whiskey Glazed Carrots recipe. Yummm! 🙂 Merry Christmas!
I have a beauty blog as well. Mine is called Budget Beauty, I could’ve sworn I left a comment the other day but I don’t see it, have a great holiday and new year!
I really want to get new skincare products in my routine.. specifically the Face Shop Rice Water Cleansing Foam and the Hada Labo Gokujun Hyaluronic Acid Toner for Oily/Combination skin or the Neutrogena Extra Gentle Cleanser >_< also the Banana Boat Faces SPF 50+ sunscreen. Except I bought 2 facial cleansing foams and the Cetaphil Cleanser which is okay but I'd prefer something better. I might get a facial exfoliator if I feel like it but I have a peel off mask and a Black Sugar Scrub from Tony Moly lol sigh so much to use up lol. Only thing I don't like about the Cetaphil Cleanser is that I need to exfoliate if I do use it regularly because I still get build up on my skin and I'm lazy lol
No green thumb here … plants dont last for longer than 2 weeks!
A green thumb runs in the family on my mother’s side. Legend has it that this is because a great-great-great etc grandfather was the result of a liaison between the lord’s son and the chief gardener’s daughter. No clue if it’s true, but the women on that side of the family all have a knack for plants, including me.
I love this line. With money being tight right now, it’d be great to win this. 🙂
My favorite house socks are colorful, warm fuzzy socks! I’m wearing them now and have a different pair for just about every set of pajamas!
Most of my houseplants live a decent amount of time but they don’t seem to get that much bigger.
I am baking a pie, some cupcakes and maybe chocolate truffles!
I am not baking anything for Christmas (other family members are taking care of that) but I am definitely baking for New Year’s Eve!
I really don’t like cold weather because I can never seem to get warm and have to wear twice as many layers as everyone else ;_;
I should be in Florida. Why am I not in Florida? What is this madness?
My favorite flower is an iris.
I made a snippet of The Waitresses “Christmas Wrapping” with a cool program on my pc called MpTrim – and every time my phone rings, I smile. But only for one more day!
I don’t really like cold weather at all. I like the snow for maybe a few days and then I want it gone.
I love the cold weather because I like wearing my awesome coat! 🙂
anything natural or organic appeals to me!
My skin would love the organic line.
Tuberose is my favorite.
