This giveaway is now closed.
I’m really excited to share with you a new sponsor here at Gussy Sews, Melissa of Nourish. Nourish is a handmade, “complete line of organic washes, balms and oils in a assortment of lavender, coconut, sweet orange and eucalyptus scents.”
I like to think of Nourish products as never-ending gifts that give >> you use them on your baby, which helps her to relax. Because you applied them, you’ll be wearing the scent, too, so now you’re also relaxed :] Soon enough you’re snuggling together in the rocker and then you sniff your sweet babe’s hair and you both drift off to sleep…
I looooove aromatherapy // natural scents ♥ Enjoy this interview & giveaway!
What encouraged you to start your line of Nourish products?
My son developed severe eczema at 6 weeks of age due to multiple food and environmental allergies. I immediately went on a quest to find a way to soothe his skin. I knew that whatever I used on him I wanted it to be safe and truly all natural which ended up being hard to find. I’ve been an Aesthetician for the last ten years so I have a good understanding of ingredients and I was shocked at what some “all natural” products had on their ingredient list.
After enrolling in an herbalist course and learning about natural remedies for skin conditions I decided to start my own organic skin care line. My first product was my organic lavender oil and we’ve since grown into a line of organic washes, balms and oils in an assortment of lavender, eucalyptus, sweet orange and coconut scents. Everything is 99-100% organic with an ingredient list you won’t have to decode!
What are you most proud of?
The results and feedback! I love it when a parent tells me how much my products have helped their child’s skin. There is nothing more rewarding then that! It makes all the time and effort I put into my business completely worth it. I also love that I have a growing adult fan base. One of my best customers is a 6’11 basketball player who loves the lavender oil for himself!
What brings you inspiration?
Small businesses owned and operated by women! I am constantly inspired and encouraged when I see a woman, especially a mom, following her dream and giving it her all! I know firsthand how hard it can be to balance running a household and a business. There have been times where I’ve second guessed my ability to handle it all and then I meet a mom who has young kids along with a successful business and I get inspired again. It’s fun to connect with fellow women entrepreneurs…I think that we can all encourage each other!
What are you currently learning or reading?
I have a baby girl on the way so I am prepping for her arrival with a home study from Hypnobabies. Every night I listen to a CD that coaches me on how to focus my breathing and thoughts so I can relax and remain calm when the big day arrives! I love this birthing method because it is all about changing your mindset of what it’s like to give birth. If you envision it as a beautiful and miraculous experience that you can prepare yourself for and be in control of then it eliminates a lot of fear of childbirth. This elimination of fear and ability to remain calm has been shown to even reduce the of need of medical intervention!

I have three little ones, and we all could use some calming aroma theropy. :) I am currently trying out different organic soaps and lotions, after reading about the unhealthy ingredients in some of the popular baby products.

What great products! My 4 yr. old son has also had eczema due to allergies, and my husband has some winter-related skin issues as well. So, throw in my 11 mo. old baby boy, and we’d just have a little family party. =) Thanks for introducing your new sponsor.
Would love to use this on my own sweet baby when God chooses to bless my hubby & I! :)
One of my little guys has eczema – I’m always on the lookout for natural solution for his skin.
Just bought some of the coconut balm & body wash from Nourish! Can’t wait to try them! We have a 3 year old that has eczema that we have trialed different soaps/lotions on along with a change in diet. Hoping to see more of a change with these natural products! Would love to be the winner of these lavender products to use on my two boys and myself.
I would use these products on my son
This is pretty amazing. I’ve never heard of the line before, but I love it already. I work for LUSH and this is right up my alley. I would use these wonderful products on my 18 month old daughter, Lillie. <3
i just found out today that my manning has eczema, so this would be fantastic to win! thanks for the opportunity.
I would use them on my little man, Moses
<3
I must admit, I would use the products on myself. I have very sensitive skin which is very unhappy with winter right now.
I would love to use this for my little guy, would be great for his dry winter skin. Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Those products look amazing! I’ll definitely check them out once I get around to having babies. Or maybe I’ll just buy some for my niece! :)
I went to Nourish and purchased the coconut balm for my husband. He suffers from dry skin so I’m really hopeful this product will give him some relief. I love the 20% discount. Thank You!
I so need this for my daughter. I have been wanting some lavender to calm her in the evening but have not been able to find the right stuff. This would be great!
I am completely intrigued and would love to try this line out on my little ones. Our harsh winters here in Minnesota really do a number on their sensitive skin. Thanks for the introduction!
