In an effort to be the perfect parent and a decent blogger, I have sorely neglected my body and my soul. I look and feel, for lack of a better word, poopy. I have re-embraced basic hygiene/grooming like bathing, brushing hair and teeth and brow tweezing the last couple months. (My husband will be happy when I re-discover leg shaving!) I'm ready for some serious "me" time now. Just to have a cup of tea and hot bath would be lovely. A lot of you are in need of some pampering and care, too. I'm about to steer you in the right direction. 
A couple months back, I raved on an etsy shop, Om Shanti Handcrafts, I discovered. (Original post here.) I'm about to rave on Om Shanti some more because there is no better place to find body and soul-quenching products. This shop has healing salves and teas, handmade soaps and bath salts, and jewelry. I don't know if it's the product design or what, but just browsing Om Shanti is relaxing!
Now I know my readership, and I know a lot of you are cheap...um.. I mean frugal. Om Shanti Handcrafts has unbeatable prices! Handmade, all-natural, quality products. That's a rare thing! That is why Om Shanti's shop owner is working her tush off to keep up with supply and demand. When you find a gem of a shop like this, you want to share it. That's why they also do custom labels for bride's maids gifts, party favors, business giveaways and events of all kinds!
Now let's hear about the prize: Om Shanti has offered a $25 gift certificate to a Now Entering Momville reader! All you have to do is leave a comment telling me what you'd buy from Om Shanti if you won. For a bonus entry, you may blog about about the giveaway. Include a link to the giveaway in your post. Leave a separate comment telling me you've done so and the post url. This giveaway will end 8/30/08. U.S. only please. Maximum of 2 entries per person.

I'd buy the Mulling Spices Bath Salts. :)
Make sure you stop on by today...I left you something...
I would buy the Leanna's Favourite Milk Bath, Oatmeal for Breakfast Bath Tea and the Scarborough Faire Lip Balm.
I would definitely buy the Mulling Spices Bath Salts and Wake Up Call Bath tea.
Baths seem to be the only place I can "hide" for awhile when the hubby is home to watch the kids. I LOVE any scents dealing with apples, mulling spices..yummy!!
What a great giveaway, thanks!

I almost don't want to say what I would buy because I am afraid someone will grab it first!!!
I *really* love the Cowboy Earrings, vanilla tangerine lip balm, Leanna's Favourite Spray and Minty Foot Spray. (that's $25, right? ;)
I love this post, I do the very same thing: I put all my energy into my kids and my hobbies and let myself go. (I'm still in my nightgown) But I am working on it, thanks for the wakeup call and for the giveaway!
I blogged about the giveaway!
http://mamasingstheblues.blogspot.com/2008/08/giveaway.html
oh wow, i would love to buy anything for my bath time!!!
minty lip balm and Oatmeal for Breakfast -- Oatmeal, calendula, comfrey, and chamomile -- Nothing better than a belly full of warm, sweet oatmeal for breakfast, is there? This oatmeal is for your skin but it's just as warm and good for you.
Yes I am a frugal shopper but have decided sometime ago to give the smaller businesses my business, as it saves my time in going out looking for it, driving, and gas and almost always end up with better quality merchandise made with alot more heart and am supporting the small business people of America.
woW! THAT IS AWESOME! OK..I WOULD BUY LOTS OF THINGS, BUT ONE THING THAT REALLY SPARKED MY INTEREST IS THE COMFREY BALM. SERIOUSLY...IF I DO WIN THE $25 GIFT CERTIFICATE....IT IS GOING TOWARD THAT!!!
