The Savannah Bee Company Mint Julep

I'm in love with The Savannah Bee Company. I came across a tube of their Mint Julep lip balm and have been having a secret affair with it for about two weeks. So, what do you do when you fall in love? You stalk your love on the internet.

The Savannah Bee Company's website is adorable. It's honey colored, there are pictures of bumble bees, a recipe for chocolate honey cake (!) and they have tons of different products: candles, honey, and body care.

To add to the adorableness of The Savannah Bee Company, it all started when Ted Dennard (the main man of the company) met Old Roy:

"An elderly man stepped out of the truck with bees crawling all over him.

'Roy Hightower's my name and I've been looking far and wide for an ideal honey-making spot. If you let me put my hives here, I'll introduce you to the marvelous world of honeybees.' The old man leaned toward me and winked.'"

Aww. The marvelous world of honeybees.

Price: $3.99 for the Mint Julep. Affordable adorable.

Glide: The Mint Julep has a wonderful glide. One quick pass across the lips provides great coverage without a greasy overapplied feeling.

Appearance: A very cute black-capped stick with pretty, old-timey writing.

Flavor/ Smell: As you've gathered the Mint Julep stick smells (wait for it, wait for it...) minty! The ingredient list include both spearmint and peppermint oils, and that's exactly what it smells like. This stick is flavorless, so there's no risk of licking your lips for some minty action, but the smell may cover up your hummus breath. Just saying.

Lasting Power: Long lasting. Sometimes I apply just because I want to smell minty fresh, and show off the tube.

Product Plusses: Adorable and 100% natural.

I'm looking forward to trying all of The Savannah Bee Company's lip balms. They've got yummy flavors like blackberry, peach, and pecan! Man, this really makes me want pie.
