Hurraw!: An Eco-Friendly Lip Balm Giveaway
As you know, I am a sucker for all-natural (preferably organic) beauty products, from store-bought natural cosmetics to DIY body scrubs and facial moisturizers. That being said, I also love a product that actually works.
Well, Hurraw! Balm lip balms are the best of both worlds, providing an eco-friendly product that delivers smooth, tasty kissable lips. Ever since The Boy stuffed a three-pack in my stocking for Christmas two years ago, I’ve been 100% hooked. I rarely use any different brands, and I never leave the house without my balm.
Not only are they made with vegan, raw, organic, non-toxic, fair trade ingredients (like coconut oil, jojoba oil, cacao butter and natural fruit oils), but the 20+ flavors are far from boring and make you want to lick your lips all day long. Some of my favorites are Chocolate (made with real cocoa), Black Cherry and Almond.
And now I’ve got some new favorites, since Hurraw! Balm just introduced their new line of Ayurvedic-based balms for each Dosha: Vata, Pitta & Kapha.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Ayurvedic approach, it’s a traditional Indian alternative
“medicine” that focuses on one’s lifestyle and unique body type. In Ayurveda, they feel that based on your individual characteristics, different foods and activities can heal or harm. I often tie some Ayurvedic techniques into my health coaching sessions, as its one of my favorite topics I studied during Nutrition School.
We all carry each of the three Doshas, but typically there are one or two over-powering ones. After taking multiple tests and digging deep to really listen to my body, I’ve found that I’m primarily a Vata type, meaning that I carry the Vata dosha in excess and need to balance that out accordingly. Thank goodness there’s a balm made just for me with almond, cardamom and rose. (I’m already in love.)
You can find our your unique body type here to see which balm would work best for you! Now for the exciting news: I’ll be giving away a VPK three-pack of these Ayurvedic balms to 3 lucky Healthy Chicks! Yes, that’s 3 packs of 3!
To enter, please do 1 or all of the following. Be sure to leave a comment on here for each task completed:

Wow, cool giveaway! I love organic (and vegan) beauty products. I’m a kapha type by the way :-).
March 18th, 2013 at 3:07 pm
That was a fun quiz! I’m almost equally Vata and Pitta, but just a bit more Pitta. Cool giveaway!
March 18th, 2013 at 3:07 pm
I took a min-elective on Ayurveda last year and loved learning about a different type of “medicine”- and I love this giveaway idea! I’m also a vata! 🙂
March 18th, 2013 at 3:08 pm
I love their balms and have been using them since they came out. Noticed that my cherry tinted one is almost gone so was going to re-order. Would love to try these new ones as well! Maybe I’ll win, keeping my chakras crossed… 😉
March 18th, 2013 at 3:16 pm
I think I’m mainly a Kapha! All three of these sound amazing.
March 18th, 2013 at 3:20 pm
I’m mostly Vata, too! I LOVE Hurraw balms. I’d love to try these!
March 18th, 2013 at 3:22 pm
I think I am a vata. Thank you for the giveaway 🙂
March 18th, 2013 at 3:30 pm
Test says I’m a Vata… hmmm.
March 18th, 2013 at 3:31 pm
Loooove this! What a great find, Rachel! I’m Pitta Vata. So much fire and air!
March 18th, 2013 at 3:32 pm

As for my dosha, every time I have taken one of the tests to figure it out, I can never reach an answer. I would be happy with any of them, though my lips and skin tend to be really dry so maybe Vata…? But seriously, any. But most important; THANKS FOR THE GENEROUS GIVEAWAY.
March 18th, 2013 at 4:12 pm
I’m a Vata like you. These balms look great! I love Hurraw balms, the cinnamon is my favourite.
March 18th, 2013 at 4:15 pm

I just got into Ayurvedic cooking recently and love it. I am bidoshic, pitta-vata. And it goes with the flavours, too. Can’t wait to try them. 🙂
March 18th, 2013 at 4:24 pm
Fun giveaway, thank you! I’ve been a Hurraw fan for a long time and a new fan to you. I’ve “liked” you both on FB. I’ve always felt that I had very little Vata in me and equal halves of Pitta and Kapha.
March 18th, 2013 at 4:47 pm
Tasks 2,3 and 4 completed (No twitter :-))
I am a Pitta, Pitta has my favourite coloured tube too 🙂 But I do love Cardamon…
I love peppermint though! So Coconut, Lemongrass and Peppermint sounds perfect 🙂

the quiz said I am pitta/kapha but there is only 1 pt between all 3 choices.. and I found there to be more things in common.. all 3 choices in score were only 1 or 2 apart..
Cathy B*****y pbprojecthope atyahoodotcom
March 19th, 2013 at 12:33 am
I just went back and read through all the symptoms for vata, pitta, and kapha. I had 7 symptoms in each category..
Cathy B*****y pbprojecthope atyahoodotcom
March 19th, 2013 at 12:53 am
I turned out to be Miss Kapha! Closely followed by Pitta.
I wonder why it is the category symptoms came out in such a negative way? I personally don’t have any of these ailments thankfully!!
Hurraw make great balms, organic, raw, vegan! Doesn’t get too much better in my opinion 🙂
<3
March 19th, 2013 at 9:20 am
Great products up for grabs!! I tested Pitta thank goodness don’t experience the ailments think I maybe a combination type!
March 19th, 2013 at 9:28 am
@Meg @Nicole Hey ladies, thanks for entering 🙂 I just wanted to touch upon the ailments as I know you both had some questions. Not all of us will have ALL of the ailments…those are just what Ayurvedic Medicine principles believes happens when we’re out of balance.
For instance if you lean more toward Pitta, if you get Pitta in excess, those “ailments” may come out. That’s why it’s so important to stay balanced and Hurraw! Balm’s new line helps pacify or balance out whatever dosha you have in excess. For me, I’m a classic Vata with some Pitta…I notice when I’m out of balance I can get spacy, anxious, worried, etc. but when I’m in balance I thrive with creativity and clarity. It’s all about keeping it in check and balanced. Hope that makes sense!
March 19th, 2013 at 10:30 am
I think I’m a Pitta.
March 19th, 2013 at 10:44 am
