This is a review and giveaway for a gorgeous silk pillowcase from The Silk Emporium.
I am a sucker for silk.
I love the way it feels on my skin, I love the way it looks, I love that it is a natural fibre.
I love the idea of silk worms too, spinning little cocoons of glorious silky goodness.
When I think about them they look less like this:

And more like this:

Whatever they look like, the silk they spin is absolutely wonderful stuff.
Fabric made from silk is naturally hypoallergenic {perfect for those with allergies or asthma}, will keep you warm in winter and cool in summer, and is a flexible material meaning that it will not bunch uncomfortably.
Kimbalikes LOVES her silk pillowcase:
“I sleep on a silk pillowcase every night. I’m old and if my face gets smooshed overnight, it takes a while for the creases to spring back. It’s also good for my hair – it gets less smooshed up and I can get another day out of it ! Bonus.”
She’s really not “old” but the point remains – a silk pillowcase isn’t just divinely comfortable, it’s going to be gentle on your skin and hair as well.
When I received my sample pillowcase in the mail I just couldn’t stop touching it.
You know how it is with silk charmeuse? It is so, so very soft. Like a newborns perfect skin . . . when they’ve just gotten out of the bath! Slippery in a good way.
Sleeping on my silk pillowcase is glorious. Really. It feels so beautiful against my skin.
It’s hard to describe it really, all I can say is that it is absolutely luxurious. It makes me feel like I’m sleeping in a luxury hotel, instead of our very affordable rental with faux-wood panel walls.
Considering the health benefits that accompany the comfort, I am so happy to be sleeping on this beautiful product. Mmm, silky goodness.
Plus I have two Silk Pillowcases {RRP. $60 each} to give away – there will be two winners. Awesome right? Plus it coincides with my first Blog-gy Birthday – perfect timing.

Mmmm…silk! My favourite textile.
I love the luxurious feeling of silk – so amazing compared to the synthetic ‘silk’ style fabrics that are commonly available. I’d love to try one of these pillowcases, it might stop me waking up with a birdsnest for hair!

We had silk pillowcases, but they kept sliding off the bed due to the silk sheets! So we gave up on them after a while. Sadly. They were lovely and warm though, they hold the heat really well.

I love the feel of silk
Oooohhh sounds lush!!!
Love your review! I’d much rather picture silk spinning from the bottoms of your cute little fellas
Congratulations on a WHOLE YEAR of regular blogging – well done <3
From what I remember of it it was the single most beautiful thing I ever touched. From the sounds of things I’m not putting it up on a pedastal
I haven’t had much of an opportunity to touch silk lately, though!
Do you know that I have never ever thought about laying on silk pillowcases before now! After reading your description I am so keen to try it out

I love the feel of silk!
Yes! So soft, smooth and sensuous…
Love it, so relaxing to lay your head on after a hard day at work
Absolutely love the feel of silk, even wish my skin would be that smooth
Silk is truly delicious to touch, silkworms not so much.
You can’t beat sleeping on silk pillow cases for shiny, knot-free hair! I swear by them.
I have only once been able to sleep on a silk pillow case and it was amazing! My grandmother says that they are the best way to avoid wrinkles later on in life!!!!

I’m such a sensory person and love the feel of silk. I always gravitate towards silk dresses and scarves and they feel soft against my skin. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Silk makes me feel like a Perfectly Pampered Princess, a Gorgeous Glowing Goddess… Love it!
For as long as I can remember I’ve been IN LOVE with the feel of silk =) Thanks for the chance to enter such a great giveaway!
I think I do!
Silk = luxury, love it!!!
I love silk
I don’t know if I like the feel of silk because I’ve never felt real silk, but it certainly sounds like I would
Pillowcases of silken luxury! Hair less messy, skin (hopefully) less creasy-wrinkly! I NEED one!
I loveee the feeling of silk, just not the price tag!
