Treating myself to a tinfoil hat.

A few months ago I rounded up some of my favorite things and did a little giveaway that you guys seemed to like. Since some medical issues I had last year I’ve really been trying to get into self care this year. I get a mani/pedi once a month, I’ve been actually going to the doctor and dentist and not just saying I should, I ditched all my drugstore skincare and have started to replace it, along with my makeup, with natural, organic products, I let less-important emails age in my inbox like a fine wine, and I say no to more things I don’t feel like doing.

So I have gathered up some of my favorite (vegan!) items that I have incorporated into my self-care routine to share with you – some of the makers of these fine items have even agreed to contribute to a giveaway and/or offered coupon codes. So thank you very much to those folks, and good luck to you all!

Bath Sabbath

Bath Sabbath – Honestly, I’m having a hard time condensing the way I feel about Virginia and her amazing products. I found her shop while I was well on my way down an Etsy rabbit hole and have since become a return customer. Her heavy metal-inspired scents range from spicy to smokey and they all fit well within the “forest witch goes to a spooky church” family that I like my scents to fall into. My personal favorites are Fairies Wear Boots and Born of Fire but I wouldn’t kick any of her creations out of bed. Most items are vegan – just check the ingredients. Virginia has generously offered 3 beard oils, 3 1/3 oz. perfume roll-ons and a Seventh Sud of a Seventh Stud soap set all in the scents of the winner’s choosing to the winner of this giveaway. Plus, she’s offering 15% off for Bake and Destroy readers with code BATHEANDDESTROY  so shop now! (Coupon valid 9/26 – 10/15)

Last Craft – I spotted Amanda’s Morrissey prayer candle from across the room at a Paper Moon Pastry event a few months back and was instantly smitten. Since then, I’ve purchased several more of her candles, including a Siouxsie Sioux altar candle as a gift for my punk rock hero Theo Kogan (more on her later). These are my new must haves for candle-lit baths, I’m sure you can see why. Amanda is offering the winner of this giveaway one of her Love manifestation altar candles. She’s also giving my readers 15% off with the code DESTROY. Go shopping! (Coupon valid 9/26 – 10/31)

Theo, glorious Theo.

Armour Beauty – If you spent the night at my house anytime in high school than you are already familiar with the Lunachicks, but if you did not, please take a moment to go YouTube some videos. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Now that you’re back, I’m happy to tell you that lead singer Theo Kogan has since become a successful makeup artist and creator of a pretty stellar lip gloss company called Armour Beauty. Recently the brand launched their first 100% vegan lip gloss, Brigitte, and is coming out with two more in October. My favorite of the new line is Funhouse, which is a bright raspberry named after The Stooges’ album – and guess what? The winner of this giveaway is going to win a Funhouse gloss of his or her very own!

Thesis Beauty

Thesis Beauty – As I mentioned, I’ve been replacing all my synthetic skincare and makeup with natural stuff lately. I figured I go through all this effort to eat real, healthy food, why rub a bunch of chemical sludge on my body’s largest organ? I was concerned (for some reason) that natural products wouldn’t be effective, but I swear by all the skincare products I’ve used from Thesis Beauty. All of their products are vegan and organic, which is amazing, and I am particularly in love with the Unscented Face Serum and Strawberry Dessert Face Mask. Thesis Beauty is offering the Strawberry Dessert Mask to the winner of my giveaway – one of the ways you can enter is by voting for them in Martha Stewart’s American Made contest – but please vote even if you aren’t entering the giveaway because it would be amazing for a vegan company to win!

Herbivore Botanicals

Herbivore Botanicals – My friend Jessica gifted me some Herbivore Botanicals items for my last birthday and I became and instant believe in their Bamboo Charcoal Soap. All of their products are 100% natural and plant-based, but none of that stops this soap from drawing all the crud out of your skin and leaving behind a brighter, cleaner complexion. I really love their simple, unisex packaging and have purchased their beard oil for Tony even though he constantly forgets to use it. You can save 25% on your order with code BAKE25 through 10/31/14.

Petit Vour

Petit Vour – If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed my posts about Petit Vour. Every month I receive a box of vegan beauty goodies from this company which allows me to test drive everything from serums to perfumes to color cosmetics without a major financial commitment. (It’s $15 a month!) Like other subscription boxes you fill out a profile to help them choose items that suit you best, but unlike many other boxes the items inside are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. The winner of this giveaway will receive the Petit Vour September Box, which was co-curated by vegan beauty blogger Logical Harmony.
