Urban Homemaker GIVEAWAY – $59.95 Value!

THE CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED – THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED HERE ON 11/4/09!

Today I have some fun news to share with you about Urban Homemaker and in case you didn’t know about the dangers of chlorine in your water, I’ll tell you more about that, too! 

You’re probably already familiar with this family owned company, Urban Homemaker, and I feel like I’ve known Marilyn for a long time now.  In the early days of this website I would stay up until the wee morning hours taking and editing notes from their phone seminars, and with permission I would post them the next day.  It was a mutually beneficial connection because Marilyn would link to them in her e-letters for those who weren’t able to listen in, and then I would get new blog readers.  Those notes are listed at this phone seminar post, and it was shortly after that last one on organ meats that her husband, Duane, passed away suddenly.  This was a shock and heartbreak to all who “knew” them (even though we’d never met).  Since then, Marilyn has shared her grief process in her blog and e-letters.  Through this, she taught many lessons about how we can lean on God to help us through the agonizing trials that we will all face at some point in our lives. 

The picture on the right is Marilyn’s family a few years ago.  The one on the left is with her daughter this past January.

Fast forward almost 18 months, and as Marilyn continues on her own with the family business she and Duane began many years ago, I’m thankful that she has decided to become one of our Real Food Media sponsors! 

She’s kicking that off with a great giveaway!

The giveaway is for a Multi-pure Shower Filter, and this is one of those products that I wish I’d known about a few years ago.  At the time I didn’t realize that we could just buy a filter for the shower to get rid of the chlorine, and instead we spent hundreds of dollars on a whole-house filter system!  Ouch.  (Obviously I didn’t research things back then as much as I do now.)

Why worry about the chlorine in your water? 

Do you ever wonder why public pools advise you to shower after getting out?  Because the pool is loaded with chlorine and other chemicals which bond with (and get absorbed through) your skin and hair.  Did you know that more chlorine enters the body through the shower than through drinking water?  Read more about the increase in bladder cancer when exposed to chlorine in your water from the Journal of Epidemiology.  Chlorine also can make your hair dry and brittle or cause flaky and itchy skin. That and all the other information I found when Googling this topic was scary enough, but common sense alone tells me we don’t need more chemicals in our life. 

This Multi-pure Shower Filter will remove the chlorine from your water, and it has a $59.95 value.
