Facial Freebie!!!

In this lovely economic climate- everybody wants something for nothing. Problem is, most of what is out there for free- isn't really worth the time/effort for what you get. That is SO not the case with today's free find - for a limited time Origins is offering not one but two fabulous freebies!!

A FREE sample of their breakthrough exfoliator - Modern Friction and...
A FREE mini-facial.
Yes......love it!

Modern Friction is a new product from Origins meant to replace the ever effective, ever popular and ever harsh microdermabrasion.


It uses all natural rice (yup rice) to effectively, naturally and gently reveal the youthful skin hiding under your current skin. Sounds intriguing no? And oh by the way, the cost difference is huge (as you can imagine) as a full size Modern Friction only goes for $37. ( Compare that to hundreds and even thousands of dollars for dermatologist administered microdermabrasion.)

So of course you are wondering- how do I get my hands on this free sample and free mini-facial? There are two very easy options...

1 - Through the Origins website you can get a free sample and free shipping through 5/31/09 simply by entering the code - REAL SIMPLE in at checkout (thank you Real Simple mag!!)

2 - To get your free mini-facial, call or visit your local Origins counter or store and set up an appointment. To find a location near you, call 1-800-ORIGINS (and select #2). I am not sure if you get a free sample this way or if they just use the product on you during the free facial...

Whichever option you go for - enjoy your new glowing skin courtesy of Origins and Real Simple magazine.

Keep looking fabulous,
BGND

Recycling Revolution!


So folks- no POTW this week. Instead I want to tell you all about an amazing new program to help with getting rid of some of those old POTWs in a responsible way.

The Return to Origins Recycling Program!

The brilliant folks over at Origins have started a quite wondrous new way for you to help out the environment. As of this past Sunday (3/29/09), all Origins counters are accepting your used and empty product containers (regardless of brand!!) and will gladly ship them off to be re-cycled and re-used in a responsible way. FAN-TAS-TIC!
Seriously....talk about making it super easy to do your part!

And for today - April 2nd only - a number of Origins counters around the country are having special guest appearances and giving away free samples (some full size!) to those who come to recycle!! (As a Gossip Girl fan I am personally jealous of you NYC kids for getting a meet and greet with Kelly Rutherford...)

Happy responsible shopping!

Keep looking fabulous,

P.S. This recycling program does not exist at Nordstrom Origins counters- fyi.
