May I extol the virtues of Bert's Bees products for a moment?

[Rubyfruit]

I've just recently discovered this wonderful line of skin care products. I had read about the founder before. An amazing woman who worked for Bert, helping him care for his bees. She started this company from nothing and has made millions. Last I heard, she was using most of her windfall to buy wilderness area in New England to save it from development.

Anyway, the lip balm is the best ever. It has pepermint oil in it, so it feels all tingly and kind of warm going on.

I also love the Lemon Butter Cuticle cream - it's wonderful on all chapped or dry areas.

I'll take trade for $5.00, Lexie.

I buy mine at my hair salon, but here is their website.

I love everything I have ever tried from Bert's Bees. The footcream feels so good and the hair treatment is wonderful. I also like the almond baby oil. MMMMMM

Oooh, yes! I love Burt's Bees! I'm starting to see it in regular retail stores now, and I saw it online the other day at drugstore.com too.

I'd say start with the beginner's kit (starter kit? sampler? I forget what they call it, but you know the kind of thing I mean). I love the apricot baby oil, if forced to choose a favorite product.

I love BBee's products !

When I get a chance to buy them I do ... especially the creams, my skin tends to get rather dry during the winters.

Watch out for the pink parts though!

I don't know about you, but the wax base gave me a slight irritation in highly sensitive areas.

Burt's Bees products rock!
They are made, relatively close, to my home.
It used to be only found in farmer's markets but has become readily available all over. The gardener's soap and lemon butter cuticle cream are my favorties.

Oh!
I just love Burt's!
I get mine from my neighborhood health foods store...I love everything that they make.

I needed talc when I was out of town and I bought the babe bee dusting powder. Good stuff! I have the lip balm, too.

Apparently royal jelly, which is what bees feed their queen bee, is also fantastic for the skin and body in general. It can be made into a lotion, or can be taken in capsule form

I believe Roald Dahl wrote a short story about it.

Its in tales for the unexpected...

Its also damn good, but it IS Dahl
