The Wild Bee offers terrific products, and their face cleanser is a personal favorite of mine; followed by the face cream.

My other reviewer also loves the products. So we highly recommend these skin care cosmetics.

Discover Wild Bee by Natural Life. Natural skin care made with some of the most nutrient-rich, healing antioxidants found in nature.

Hello Friends,

I confess to being a prolific online shopper, it mostly happens during those insomniac hours.

I will be sharing insights into some of those purchases, probably one per month.

I am tired of receiving flack for my online ‘habit’, thus I will become a household ‘reviewer’ and add that skill to my Resume. 🤣 Great justification.

I will get my staff and some residents to offer feedback after the Wild Bee products arrive.

Stay tuned.
Regards,
Lyn
