What actually earns a place in my suitcase?
After decades of traveling, I’ve learned that the little things you reach for over and over are the things worth packing.

These are a few of my Essential Journeys favorites that come along for the ride. Made for the journey, wherever yours takes you. ✈️🚲🌿

Summer camp is over, but school hasn’t started quite yet… so guess who’s back at the Essential Journeys® studio? 💜

Olivia is spending a few of her last summer days helping us package bath salts, earning a little extra spending money, and getting us ready for the busy fall season.

There’s a lot that happens behind the scenes of a small business before one of our products ever lands on your doorstep. Mixing, pouring, packaging, labeling, tying, boxing… and sometimes it takes a few extra hands to make it all happen.

We’re happy to have these hands back in the studio! 🛁✨

And yes, while I’m away adventuring, the Essential Journeys® crew will still be here making, packing, and shipping your orders every business day.

Small business really is a family affair. 💜

This is my dad in our backyard in the early 1980s. 🐝

Long before there was Essential Journeys®, before there was L**e for the Lips®, there were bees.

Growing up, I watched my dad care for his hives with incredible patience. We also had a huge vegetable garden, and just beyond our backyard was a florist with acres of flowers. It was a wonderful place for honeybees.

Years later, when I created my very first batch of L**e for the Lips®, using beeswax wasn’t just a formula decision. It felt like bringing a piece of my childhood into something I hoped other people would enjoy.

Twenty years later, beeswax is still at the heart of every tube we make. Looking back at this photo reminds me that some of the best ideas don’t start in a laboratory. Sometimes they begin in your own backyard.
