WHO IS BURT OF BURT'S BEES?


Eden Gordon
08/19/21



Burt's Bees products are everywhere, from shoe store checkout lines to gas
stations to every pharmacy imaginable.

They're always easy to spot in their distinct yellow packaging, and they tend to
sit apart from the rest. With their spicy, stinging quality, they feel unlike
any other makeup product, too.

But during all those times you rubbed their peppermint-infused chapstick on in
order to feel its strangely refreshing tingle, have you ever wondered: Who is
the eponymous Burt who started it all?

Burt is actually Ingram Berg Shaviz. Born in Manhattan to a Jewish family, Burt
was raised in Great Neck, New York. In his early life he was in the military and
then spent time as a photojournalist in New York City, documenting drug culture
in the Bowery, beat poets, Malcolm X-led rallies, protests, and other facets of
New York City life.

Eventually, though, Shaviz began to grow fearful of growing old in a small
apartment in Manhattan, and so he did what any aging hippie tiring of the big
city life does: He applied for an arts grant and moved upstate.

"In 1970, Burt threw his mattress in his Volkswagen van and, along with a few
buddies, drove upstate to the High Falls, New York, area. After a series of
heavy rainstorms, Burt decided to drive around and survey the damage. He
stumbled upon a swarm of bees on a fencepost," reads an article from The Daily
Beast.

'The year before, a guy that I'd been buying honey from, who was a beekeeper,
had given me everything I needed to be a beekeeper except the bees — a hive, a
mask, gloves, a smoker, a hive tool, everything," Burt told the outlet. "So,
there was this fencepost, and I said, 'My lord, this is an act of God! I can't
turn this down.'"

Eventually, Shavitz defected to Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, where he took up
beekeeping. He began using the wax to make lip balm, honey, and other products,
which he sold at a popular roadside stand. He labeled his products "Burt's Bees"
to prevent them from being stolen, and the name, obviously, stuck.




One day, he picked up a hitchhiker named Roxane Quimby. The two hit it off and
eventually fell in love. Quimby was also fleeing a busy city — she had been
working as an artist in San Francisco. In Maine, she was living as a single
mother and a back-to-lander.

Together, Shavitz and Quimby created what would become Burt's Bees. But though
the company blossomed, things weren't all smooth sailing.

In 1994, the pair moved to Burt's Bees' corporate headquarters in North
Carolina, where it boomed. Shavitz was eventually ousted from the company,
apparently because of an affair he had with a Burt's Bees shopkeep employee.
Initially, he blamed Quimby for his ousting, saying, "Roxanne Quimby wanted
money and power, and I was just a pillar on the way to that success."

Quimby eventually sold the company to Clorox for $900 million. After leaving the
company, Shavitz lived in a house in Maine with no water, where he spent his
days watching foxes and moose pass by.

"I had no desire to be an upward-mobile-rising yuppie with a trophy wife, a
trophy house, a trophy car. I wasn't looking for any of those things. I already
had what I wanted," he said in the documentary Burt's Buzz, made about his life.
"No one has ever accused me of being ambitious." Later in the documentary, he
said, "A good day ... is when no one shows up and you don't have to go
anywhere."


But regardless of his ambitions, Shavitz's small-town eccentricity and crunchy
hermit energy has certainly been a winning sales pitch for one of the most
successful personal care products on the market.


Shavitz passed away in 2015. "Burt and I shared a long and unique journey
through many years and probably many lifetimes together and apart," Quimby said
upon Shavitz's death. "I don't assume that his passing marks the end of that
journey."


Fortunately, she won't have to look far to see him; his face, plastered on the
products they built, will be in every drugstore for the rest of time.

AN EASIER WAY TO CONSUME CBD



Mackenzie Cummings-Grady
19h

THERE'S A WAY TO GET ALL THE POSITIVE EFFECTS OF CBD WITH A DELICIOUS TASTE.

We all know that CBD is hotter than ever.

There are so many reasons more and more people are turning to CBD. Aside from
the extract being a reliable sleep aid, CBD provides relief for anxiety,
depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. In "nonpsychoactive" blends, CBD
oil is THC-free, meaning it won't get you high, or give you the munchies, but
you'll be able to get all the health benefits that come from marijuana.

But with an endless array of CBD brands out there, many people get hung up on
the taste no matter what brand they try. CBD isn't the most delicious substance
in the world; it can often taste bitter and acidic. If you have a sensitive
pallet, it can make taking the supplement an arduous process. What if there was
a way to get all the positive effects of CBD but without the nasty taste? In
fact, what if I told you CBD could actually taste delicious?

Caliper was founded on the principle that CBD and all of its benefits deserve to
be experienced by everyone, but it can be hard when misinformation surrounding
the supplement remains rampant. So to combat this, Caliper constantly strives to
provide accessible CBD that is consistent, fast-acting, and scientifically
evaluated, so users can forever rest easy that they're getting the best possible
care.

"Caliper is in our name, because we're all about measuring precisely," explains
Keith Woelfel, the company's Director of Research & Development. "It's the
bedrock of everything we do." It's true that every batch of Caliper CBD is
extensively tested to make sure its dissolvable powder is safe and of the
highest quality. To do this, the company works with some of the nation's top
labs and maintains its own Emerald-certified in-house lab. Interested customers
can even view the results of these studies in Caliper's comprehensive lab
report, known as a Certificate of Analysis (COA).

CaliperThe New York Post

So what makes Caliper so special? Well, simply put it delivers CBD through a
powder rather than as an oil or soft gel. The classic Flavorless Caliper CBD
Dissolvable Powder mixes are Caliper's bread and butter.

The powder can be mixed in any beverage or food at any temperature. The 20 mg
packets are easy to grab and take on your commute, as they require no measuring
and offer no mess or any bizarre aftertaste. Caliper also offers Swiftsticks,
which are packets of CBD powder that are bursting with flavors. A great-tasting
way to get your daily dose of CBD, the Caliper Swiftsticks is a precise 20 mg of
CBD, which can just be sprinkled on your tongue. It will immediately dissolve
and fill your mouth with delicious flavors in the process. Swiftsticks come in
three all natural, scrumptious flavors including Lemon Lime, Mixed Berry, and
Cool Mint. For a limited time, Caliper subscribers can also partake in a
refreshing Lemonade flavor, which is a perfect flavor to ring out the summer
with!


Regardless of what you choose, the reviews for Caliper are absolutely stellar.
"I LOVE that you can pour these right on your tongue and they're in nice little
packets," said Caliper customer Donnie J. "I can't tell you how many times I've
tried to bring my tincture with me and had to check my backpack 100 times to
make sure it didn't spill all over. I'm a convert, Swiftsticks are the way to
go. Plus, tastes great!"

Another satisfied customer named Christine wrote that she enjoyed the fact that
Caliper is gluten-free, Non-GMO and THC-free. "Also, unlike other products, they
are free of calories and fat," she wrote, "which is good if you are watching
your weight. A good match with workout routines."

HOW TO KEEP YOUR SKIN HEALTHY DURING THIS HEATWAVE



Mackenzie Cummings-Grady
31 August

Let's get one thing straight: August is always unbearably hot.

August is a bittersweet month, as it represents the end of summer, yet it's
always one of the hottest months of the year. It's especially true this year, as
record-breaking heat waves sweep throughout most of the country, thanks to the
doings of climate change.

With that in mind, the muggy, sweaty month of August can do some real damage to
your skin. Your pores will no doubt get greasier, and your acne may flair up.
All of it is completely normal, but why should you have to suffer through your
last month of summer? Luckily, there is one skincare brand that you can always
rely on to keep your skin in check. One skincare brand is always filled with
natural, organic ingredients that you can feel good about: Burt's Bees.

"Burt's Bees? Aren't those the guys that make that chapstick?" It's true that
the company's Original Beeswax Lip Balm is one of their most legendary products,
curing chapped lips everywhere since 1991 with its antioxidant Vitamin E
moisturizer, and Peppermint finish.

But upon closer inspection, you'll see these guys do a lot more than just lip
balm. Born in the early 1980s, creators Burt Shavitz and Roxanne Quimby created
Burt's Bees in the backwoods of Maine. Burt settled into his life as "bee man"
and combined with Roxanne's groundbreaking recipes created a bounty of goods,
from candles to lip balms. Now, the company has exploded to include face wash,
makeup, shampoo and conditioner and so much more!

Burts Bees

But let's get back to the task at hand. For those with serious acne flair-ups
this time of the month, you should go ahead and cop yourself the Sensitive
Facial Cleanser. Meant for sensitive skin, the Burt's Bees formula relies on
Cotton Extract and throws in a dose of soothing Aloe for the gentle treatment
your face desires.

Burt's Bee's also has a wide range of moisturizers and creams, such as their
Truly Glowing Gel Cream, which is made from an intentional combination of
proteins, humectants, and oils, and serves as the perfect finishing touch after
a good washing. Maybe your bad skin is caused by excessive makeup, or from a
poorly designed makeup remover. In which case, Burt's Bee's wide range of
towelettes are perfect for you. They have towelettes meant for hydrating,
towelettes meant for sensitive skin, and even towelettes made from White Tea for
those looking for an extra splash of moisture.


Are you not sure which skincare product is best for you? No worries! Just head
over to Burt's Bees website, and you can shop for products "by concern." Are you
suffering from fine lines and wrinkles? Burt's Bee's has a perfect routine for
that. Or maybe you have an uneven skin tone, or maybe just plain dry skin. They
even have a perfect list of recommendations for those with small blemishes.

Look, the point is that just because summer is ending that doesn't mean you need
to end it with bad skin. As these heat waves continue, head into the fall
confident and sexy, and take control of your bad skin. Burt's Bees' organic
ingredients really work, and they're so wholesomely made that you can feel good
about everything you buy.
