Day 4: Pick up any trash you notice today.

Slowing down and paying attention to the environment around us is so important. Today’s kindness challenge is to pick up trash you notice today. This simple act, not only is caring for our planet, but allows us to consider others and the space we share together. It has also helped me to slow down and take responsibility. It reminds me of how the bees live in community. I have noticed when I’m working in the hive that if some comb gets knocked loose or something blows into the hive, the bees closest stop what they’re doing and tend to issue. They drag the debris out of the hive and then get back to work.

Caring for the Queen City community through the ingredients and packaging we use in our products is one of my biggest priorities.  We are palm oil free and make it a point to use sustainable ingredients in our products. It’s also important to me that we use as little plastic as possible, so you’ll notice our lip butter is in a paper tube (you can throw it in your compost bin!) and our hand salve is in a reusable tin. We will always be paraben, sulfate and GMO free so that you can know you are using clean and nourishing products that are kind to your skin.
