Good Karma with a New Contest

legosoap1Good Karma Soaps is having a contest exclusively for our creative readers.

My friend Blaire Borthayre, a marketer by trade but also Head Soapmaking Woman at Good Karma, is scouting out an idea for a unique soap. Blaire makes every soap by hand using all natural ingredients and none of that yucky, gummy stuff you find in commercial soaps. The Lego soap pictured here, for example, is made from goat’s milk, organic color and scent — meaning that each block is safe for sensitive skin.

Blaire says that coming up with ideas for soaps isn’t an easy task, so she’s looking for your help.

What’s in it for you? Blaire is offering a $20 $50 gift certificate (!) for Good Karma Soaps. Plus free shipping. (Okay, now we’re talking!) Blaire says, “The good news is that even if you don’t win, you still win.” Translation: If you participate, you automatically get a gift certificate for “Buy One Get One Free” for anything in the store until May 30,2009.

Here’s the nitty gritty.

In order to play, all you have to do is:

1. Take a peek at Good Karma Soaps website. Then come back here and post your favorite item in the shop.

2. Here, in the comment section, tell us your idea for a new soap.

3. Tweet about this contest and using this post’s URL: http://bit.ly/yB9eZ

How simple is that? The contest starts today and ends a week from now, next Tuesday, when Blaire picks the winner!

And by the way, 50 percent of all proceeds from Good Karma sales are donated to local animal shelters in Raleigh, where Blaire lives and works. As Blaire says, “A combo of art, common sense and Karma. What’s not to love?”

Thanks for playing!
