Hello you new readers out there. I wanted to take a moment for introductions. I am Rachel Wolf, author to this little blog and owner of LuSa Organics. Today I am hosting my own giveaway (for a $25 gift certificate), so read on for details.
If I had to choose a single word to describe myself it would be passionate. I am passionately a mother, attachment parent, homeschooler, photographer, partner, writer, crafter, cook, gardener, nature-girl, and small business owner.
That's the short list.
My husband Pete and I founded LuSa Organics in 2007 after nearly a decade of a body care production on a hobby-scale. LuSa Organics is named after our two children, Lupine and Sage. Our best-selling Baby Care Line even bears an illustration of Sage at age two. And since we homeschool and run a home-based business? All these aspects of my life are woven so closely together that I can hardly tell one part from the next. Indeed. This is a family business in every sense.
We handcraft organic body care using the finest ingredients and the best chi around. LuSa has been featured twice in Mothering Magazine for our Mama and Baby Care lines and my craft projects have been recently featured on Whip Up, Crafty Crow, and Living Crafts Magazine.
It's a funny mix: crafty blog/organic body care business. But its my world. And my passion.
Since so many of you are new to LuSa I wanted to welcome you with one-day-only free standard US shipping on all LuSa Organics orders over $35.00. (Returning customers? This is the one you keep asking for! Enjoy.) Use coupon code "clean" on Saturday February 20th only.
And the Giveaway? Everyone loves a giveaway. Me especially. To participate simply leave a comment below with the name of a LuSa Organics product that you'd love to try and we'll draw a winner on Monday.
Invite your friends!
lavender sugar scrub! 🙂
Thanks, Rachel! I just stumbled upon your blog last week and really like it. My husband and I noticed the comment you posted recently about your friend’s house for sale (we currently live in IL) and it looks like our dream home…the job search is on!
We still use our original “Queen Bee” sugar scrub container (just add refills!) and love it every day!
We would love to try the Wipe Juice!
Kate,
Thats awesome! Let us know if you end up in the neighborhood. Maggie (the seller) is a wonderful woman. Tell her I sent ya!
Citrus Lotion Bar! (am expecting a baby in July and will defer trying baby products until then…)
Take a peek at our Mama Care page, too Peggy. Congratulations! http://www.lusaorganics.com/pregnancy-labor-birth-postpartum-natural-handmade-body-care-s/3.htm
The name of your business is sweet! I love your children’s names! I am new to your blog, found your valentine baby post, and so I came back today! fun!
I would love to try some of your bath salts, they all sound fantastic. Can’t pick a sent. 🙂
thank you!
I am totally intrigued by the baby sleeping potion…I have 2 babies that love to be awake!
I’d love to try the Booty Balm. We have the Chin and Cheek Balm and I love it.
I would love to try the essential oil drops. I’ve tried just about everything else! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I’d love to try one of the essential oil drops. We’ve been using your soap since our little guy was born almost a year ago, when I got compliments from my midwife and birth assistant on the wonderful-smelling soap in our bathroom! We’ve also loved your wipe juice, balms (lip, cheek & booty) and your relaxing essential oil blend.
A lotion bar would be great for my winter-cracked hands.
oh my goodness, I would LOVE to try the Lavender essential oil . . . that smell is my heaven!~!
thanks for the giveaway!
Is there a product I haven’t tried? I don’t even know if such a thing exists!
When the time comes again, I would love to try your postpartum herbs. I missed those the first time around :).
Thanks Libby. So glad youre still around and still loving what we make!
Sweet soul sister soap! I need something energizing these days…
Can’t bear winter much longer…would love whatever will cure my cracked knuckles and the cheek and chin balm would be great for my kids’ “wind-kissed” cheeks! Loved your soap and have been meaning to place an order to try something new.
I would love to try some of these products. And I really love the design.
we stumbled on the wipe juice, kind of by accident, and now i want to try everything else! i’d love to use some of the soaps…
so happy to have found your blog and business. beautiful family!!

I have been eyeing the organic sugar scrubs on the shelves at Madison’s Community Pharmacy for a long time now. That’s my wish-list product from LuSa.
Just dabbed a little energizing essential oil on my wrist for a mid-morning pick-me-up. Mmmmm!
I’d LOVE to try citrus sugar scrub! Sounds wonderful!
We are completely addicted to your fantabulous Booty Balm and use it an all our skin ailments! But, something I’ve yet to try are your three roll-on essential oil blends. I’m drawn to them, but have a rule against buying scents without having actually smelled them! Of course, I’m sure they’re wonderful since all your other products smell amazing!
I HEART the Patchouli sugar scrub and Booty Balm, as well as your Mint Lotion Bar!!! I can’t live w/out the sugar scrub…so I guess I’d like to try any of the other scents. OH!! I really want to try the Patchouli bath salts, or the Mint Bath Salts! xoxo
Mint bath salts are on my wish list! Love your products 🙂
I would dig a chance to try out the Wipe Juice. I’m already hooked on the Booty Balm and in love with your lip balms too!
I LOVE the wipes juice! I have been using it on my babes for the last 3 years. I often give it as a baby shower gift along with some homemade flannel wipes. I have recently discovered Booty Balm and all it’s *magic*. 🙂
I would like to try one of everthing! But I guess I’d start with Sleeping potion for my one year old, and maybe treat myself to a sugar scrub or lotion bar.
Thanks for making such great products!

I love your soaps, sleeping potion and citrus blend lip balm (my FAVORITE lib balm!)! It is a toss up between the lotion bar and the sugar scrub… those are both on my “to try” list!
I love, love, love your products! I moved from Madison to NYC this past summer and stocked up on 8 bars of your soap to last me until my visit in the spring. And I send the Welcome, Little One and a Mama is Born gift sets to every single one of my women friends having babies. They always get spectacular reviews! I would love to try any and all of your essential oils blends and your bath salts… Thanks for the amazing products and the inspiring stories in your blog! I love supporting your beautiful family…
I would love to try your Cranky pants essencial oil blend! Can you just add the drops straight to lotion or oil in it’s original bottle? And will the scent keep or will u have to keep adding the eo to keep up the scent? Thanks for the chance to win!
Your lip balm is the best ever! My kids even carry it with them. When I get a few minutes to take a bath I’d love to try the lavender bath salts!
Yes you can Sharee. It works wonderfully in that manner. Just add it a drop at a time until you can smell it. You dont want to add too much, especially for children. Great for housekeeping too, like in your mop water with a splash of vinegar.
I love your Baby Wipe Juice and look forward to trying more mom and baby products!!
We already use many of your products with our toddler and especially love the baby wipe juice and the oatmeal goat milk soap. I just found out I’m expecting again and can’t wait to try more of your mama products (like the mama massage oil!).
Thanks for making such wonderful products!
My family is hooked on Booty Balm (I agree with a previous commenter – it is magic!), the wonderful Gitcheegummee soap, and the lip balms. I would love to try the citrus lotion bar.
