A Chicago Gem and a Montana Man

Gem of the Week – Show Yourself Some BeeLove

 Allow me to introduce you to Sweet Beginnings, based in my own hometown of Chicago.  Sweet Beginnings makes all natural raw honey and honey-infused body care products that comprise the BeeLove brand.

But they do so much more.

At Sweet Beginnings, the men and women producing those wonderful BeeLove products are all returning from prison. When you buy these organic, all natural products you are helping these employees develop a stable work history, learn marketable skills and gain the confidence they need to re-enter the workforce.

As they say at BeeLove “Our products transform you. Your purchase transforms lives.”

I love their lip balms and of course their honey, but they have so many body products and gift boxes. See the complete selection on their website or for you fellow Chicagoland residents, you can find BeeLove at Marianos, Whole Foods, and other retail stores. Traveling through Chicago? You can buy BeeLove products at the Hudson stores in both O’Hare and Midway Airports.

What to Read Next – A Controversial Pick. A Seal’s Oath by Cora Seton

What do YOU think?

This week my sister is recommending one of her recent author discoveries, Cora Seton.  With over one million books sold, NYT and USA Today bestselling author Cora Seton has created a world readers love in Chance Creek, Montana. She has created thirty novels and novellas set in her fictional town, including cowboys and military heroes.

I am suggesting you start with the first novel in her Seals of Chance Creek Series,  A Seal’s Oath.  The entire series includes eight novels.  First, because you can get it free on Kindle, and second because it stirs up some controversy. Why is it controversial? Readers either love it or they find the plot stretches the imagination too far. Which camp are you in?

I loved the blurb, so I am planning to give this one a try. Share your thoughts once you check it out. I’ll be curious to see what you think.

Here’s the book description for A Seal’s Oath – a real grabber, in my opinion.

Wanted: one wife, one baby. Love not required.

Navy SEAL Boone Rudman has six months to find a wife and get her pregnant or he’ll lose his chance to win 1500 acres of prime Montana ranch land. So when he discovers Riley Eaton living on his new ranch, all grown up from the tomboy she used to be, he decides she’ll do for his bride—whether or not she’s got other plans.

Riley Eaton quit her job, sold her car and moved to Chance Creek with her friends to pursue the dreams she’d put on hold for far too long. She has no idea her uncle sold the ranch out from under her—and has no plans to marry any time soon—but when Boone shows up, sexy as hell after fifteen years in the service, she begins to wonder if her priorities are all wrong.

When duty turns to desire, Boone launches a campaign to win Riley’s heart. But is it too little, too late? Or can he convince Riley to forget the past and create a future worth fighting for?
