Re-Launch Reader Giveaway! Marie Veronique Organics

This giveaway is now closed.  @JustFabulousGem, who entered the contest via twitter has been chosen via random.org as the winner! But stay tuned, more great giveaways to come! Thanks to everyone who entered, and to MVOrganics for sponsoring this wonderful giveaway.

We're super excited to be offering this reader giveaway prize, the first in a series to come over the next few weeks to celebrate the re-launch of Pure Green Magazine. {If you could see me, Celine, right now, you would see that I'm smiling ear to ear... I'm SO EXCITED and hope you are too!} We were so delighted that Marie Veronique Organics, the sponsor of this wonderful giveaway, agreed to introduce you, our reader, to their product - if you win, you will receive a complete Anti-Aging kit as well as a bonus Kid Safe Screen. At PGM we're really careful and conscious of what we put on our skin - MVO understands that and speaks to it very well: "Intelligent Ingredients is more than just a tagline. It’s the overriding principle that guides every formulation at Marie Veronique Organics. That’s because science tells us that what goes on your skin ultimately penetrates your skin and goes into your body. The right ingredients can do a world of good and the wrong ones quite the opposite. Before an ingredient gets added to a product we make sure it does the right thing, efficiently and without causing harm to you or the planet. It’s probably no surprise that our entire company is dedicated to sustainability. Wherever possible we use natural, organic and fair trade ingredients, packaged in 100% recyclable materials. And we source them as close to our Berkeley headquarters as possible to keep our footprint super small."  Click here to get the full background on all of their ingredients.
