“Do Some Good”
As a travel writer, I am always on the go. I try to make sure I have what I need for the story I’m working on. Notebook, a pen, usually my phone, wallet, car keys, but what I find that I am constantly searching for is lip balm, especially in the colder months. (which here in New England seems like it’s half the year!) Call me a chronic re-applicator, but one dash of balm is never sufficient. Upon discovering the lip balm of Drew’s Honeybees, I felt like Goldilocks in search of that perfect bowl of porridge. Some balms are too rough, others too runny, but Drew’s is just right. Unlike leading competitors, I am not constantly reapplying with Drew’s. From the first time my lips felt the cool application of the Vanilla Lip Balm, I knew I had stumbled into a life-long relationship.
It was exciting for me to find a balm with such lasting effects. Drew’s product simply works; I can apply it before I set out in the car, I no longer need to fumble through the console to find the lip balm while I drive (and I thought texting a driving was dangerous!) To foolproof myself, I keep a stick of Drew’s Honeybees Lip Balm seemingly everywhere. I’m not exaggerating here; in both cars, near the front door, in my travel backpack and next to the bed. Since I share my time between Massachusetts and Connecticut, what greets me on top of my bureau in the Constitution State? Drew’s Honeybees Citrus Lip Balm!
Drew’s Honeybees- Always Organic, Always Natural
What’s cool about Drew’s Honeybees is that the company thinks about preservation first. This is twofold; both preservation of the honeybee, but also the preservation of the human consumer. As humans, we, unfortunately, are exposed to some nasty stuff wherever we go. Whether it is exhaust fumes, noise pollution, smog, preservatives in food, the list goes on. Even as hard as we try, much of it is difficult to completely avoid. In our busy lives, it’s hard to always be informed customers. We all have those moments in the grocery store thinking we are buying the “natural” product just because the label says so. Although we don’t devour lip balm, it’s still a very intimate experience. Just as we want to know what is in the food we are ingesting, the same should go for skincare products.
By using Drew’s Honeybees natural skincare, there is no question what you’re getting. All of their products are organic, this means no GMOs or pesticides. For instance, in the Vanilla Lip Balm, Drew’s Honeybees makes sure the vanilla is fair trade and no child labor used in the production. The ingredients not only soothe our lips but also strengthen and fortify our skin. As far as the honeybee, Drew’s makes sure to take care of them too. Twenty percent of profits are diverted directly to the care of the honeybee. We can be proud to use Drew’s for our own self-care as well as for that of the honeybee. Drew’s Honeybees emphatically lives up to its motto of “Do some good.”
Don’t Leave Home Without It!
Ultimately though, I’ll be honest, the reason I use Drew’s is that the lip balms simply work! After hiking through the woods on a nature trail or getting lost in the dunes of Cape Cod, I want to make sure my lip balm can sustain. What’s also great is for someone like me who is on the go, especially in New England, I can find Drew’s products at stores throughout the region. If I’m in Massachusetts, I can stop into Cambridge Naturals, in Connecticut Drew’s is available at many retailers such as The Strong Kitchen in Hamden and the Willimantic Food Co-op, not to mention at locations in New York City and Vermont! Do yourself a favor, the next time the lip balm is running low and your lips are feeling more plastic than product, go do some good; for yourself, for the honeybee and for the planet and try Drew’s Honeybees skincare. You’ll be happy you did.
