My name is Krista, and this journey started years ago with something I called Day-by-Day Mama. I was focused on how food and additives affect children—especially those with ADHD and Autism—and what I found was eye-opening. The difference between what’s allowed in the U.S. versus Europe made me realize just how much we were putting into our bodies without questioning it.

That realization changed everything.

I began cooking most of our meals from scratch, growing my own organic garden, and foraging for herbs. What started as a way to care for my family turned into a deeper passion for natural living and traditional methods that had been forgotten.

As time went on, I started noticing changes in my own skin—dryness that nothing seemed to help. When I looked at the ingredients in most commercial skincare products, I knew I didn’t want to put those on my body. Around that same time, I kept seeing people talk about tallow, and it made sense—it’s something our ancestors used for generations.

Then we got our first beehive.

Along with the honey, I fell in love with the beeswax we harvested. I taught myself how to render tallow, and naturally, I began creating my own balms—first for myself, then for family and friends. Over time, those recipes grew into simple, effective, herb-based remedies for skin, lips, and even our pets.

What started as a personal solution became something others kept asking for.

And that’s how Bees & Balm was born—rooted in simplicity, tradition, and ingredients you can truly trust.

I made a small batch of these lip balms this week 💛

Simple ingredients (tallow + beeswax), and it doesn’t wear off right away like most lip balms.

I have a few available if anyone wants one

Are you tired of all your bread going stale right after you make it? I make my own sourdough breads and now other breads too and I was so tired after all the work to have them go stale overnight. I started reading about beeswax bread bags and I tried a few but they just did not have enough wax so I made my own. Introducing our Bees & Balm Beeswax Bread Bags! They will retail for $20 but right now I am offering them at $15. Go to www.beesandbalm.shop to purchase.
