Even typing the title for this post had me smiling! It was definitely crucial for me to include the fact that these stress relief tips come from my wonderful husband, because I am not particularly qualified to offer stress relief advice at this point! Perhaps someday. ;) My husband Bjorn is such a "steady Eddy," something I am consistently noticing and am grateful for! To have someone like him in my life has been an incredible blessing. Bjorn doesn't stress the way that many people so often … [Read more...]
There’s a party coming up…and you’re invited!
If you've been reading this blog for the past year or so, then you've probably heard me mention Rodan + Fields! I've been an independent skincare consultant for R+F for over a year.

Now days, I wear less makeup than before -- I used to feel I had to put on a ton of concealer and powder, and it's nice not to … [Read more...]
Reader Survey + Starbucks Giveaway!
Happy New Year, everyone! Can you believe it's 2018? Bjorn and I are so grateful as we look back at the past year -- it's amazing to see all of the ways God has provided and how we've grown through various challenges and adventures. One of the major blessings for me in 2017 was this blog. Just Bee continued to grow this last year, and I enjoyed a lot of fun collaborations with companies I was excited about. The blog also offered me a place to stretch myself creatively AND a place where I … [Read more...]

Reader Survey Results (+ the giveaway winner!)
As you probably know (since many of you filled it out!), a couple weeks ago I asked Just Bee's readers to fill out a little blog survey. And like I said in this post, I really get so excited about these! A survey is such a specific, useful way for me to find out what you enjoy on Just Bee and how I can improve the blog. I've never done this before, but I thought it'd be interesting to actually share the results with you all! (The survey questions were a bit more specific than I'll share … [Read more...]

Homemaking Checklists Roundup (+ a Giveaway!)
Over the past few years, I've really been able to hone in on certain, more specific topics for Just Bee. One of my favorite topics to write about lately is the home: creating a cozy home, organizing it, cleaning it, and filling it with love. :) I'd asked my readers a while ago what topics you'd enjoy reading more about and the majority of you said you'd be happy to see more homemaking posts! It was really exciting to see more interest in terms of posts on this topic, since it is something … [Read more...]
