Lavender Vanilla Bee Balm Cream: This is the most amazing product I have ever used. My husband loves it also. I really do not know how it works, but it does. Everyone I have given this to is amazed with how great it makes your skin feel.

~ Stacie, Medina, Ohio

I've been using the lotion bar for a few weeks now, and I'm blown away by the results! The soles of my feet are much smoother. I've also been dealing with awful acne and acne scars for years now, so I decided to try the lotion bar on my face. It's been a huge help! My scars are significantly less visible, and my acne is much more manageable. I never thought my face could heal so well in such a short amount of time! I never write reviews, but I just had to this time!

I purchased this product (Unscented Bee Balm Cream) at Whole Foods in Columbus. I was looking for something to apply to my face at night, and I was interested in something that would be rich enough to help moisturize my now aging skin (nearing 40!). This product was recommended to me by the health care specialist at Whole Foods, and although I was initially worried about the beeswax, I have been extremely pleased! My skin has been very hydrated, smooth, and supple since using (she even recommended I use it during the day, under my sunscreen). It doesn't seem oily or heavy, and I have been very happy with the way my skin feels. I will definitely be buying it again!

~ Michelle, Columbus

i love your soaps and lip balms. I especially love your calendula and pomegranite cream. For two years I have tried various Rx lotions and creams to use on my feet for a problem with peeling of my skin. They would make the skin look good for a day, but then the next day it was back to the same problem. I started using your calendula cream and within 3-4 days my feet looked noticeably better. I continue to use it every morning and the skin on my feet have never ever looked so good!! Thank you so much for this awesome product! Thanks!

~ Lee, Solon, Ohio

I received this massage lotion bar as a gift from my Sister and Love it!! As a nurse I have to wash my hands continuously and they become very dry and cracked. This bar is a miracle worker! I would recommend it to anyone!

~ Kelley, Piqua

I seldom write reviews but felt compelled to do so. I received the Bee Balm Cream as a gift. I threw it on before bed and was shocked when I woke up with baby smooth skin. It is better than any speciality creams out there! I just re-ordered this, as well as a few other items. Great product

~ Wendy, Cleveland, Ohio

AMAZI(NG! I purchased this lavender vanilla balm at the Country Living Fair this past September. I put it next to my bed and used it every night before I went to bed. I rubbed it into my hands and then I put it all over my face. (soft skin! no break-outs!) I adore the true lavender scent with the wonderful addition of vanilla. Just smelling it relaxes me! The 2oz jar lasted me one month and I'm back for more!

~ Sarah, Cincinnati, Ohio

Hi!! At the Expo in Chantilly, Va, I was looking over your products when I heard the word 'psoriasis.' That got my attention! Louise and I spent a few minutes sharing our horror stories, then she recommended the Calendula Pomegranate Bee Balm Cream for Face, Hand and Body. Some days my face (upside down T-zone) gets red, dry, irritated and burns, much like severe sunburn. Last night and today, immediately after putting it on my face the stinging vanished! When it burned in the past I tried aloe and everything else, which only made it worse. Even highly-touted natural remedies (olive oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil) were waaay too greasy to wear everyday under makeup. It's only been one application for the plaque psoriasis spots, so I can't comment on that yet (though I have no doubt it'll help). What's great, too, is it takes very little to cover. So a little jar goes a long way -- though I will say I'm getting the bigger jar next time! This cream is the answer to my prayers!!! Thank you!!!

~ Jean, Chantilly, Virginia

I just bought this Sat. at the Garlic Fesitval and am thrilled with the product. It is thin, not greasy and not pore clogging. I have sensitive skin and am always concerned. I put it on before bed and wake up with the smoothest skin. Now, I'm using it on the dayside as well. Thanks for your care with keeping the products natural. ~ Kathy

~ Kathy, Cleveland, Ohio

I have never in my life written a review, but seriously, your bee balm lotion bar has changed my life. I've always hated using traditional lotions, but this stuff is heaven..so easy to use and totally effective. Already, my skin looks 10 years younger. I'll do whatever I can do to promote and support your product. Keep it up!

~ Cindy, Akron. Ohio

I just purchased your Bee Balm Face Cream at Whole Foods in Shadyside, PA. The young lady that was selling it was wonderfully sweet and knowledgeable. I just tried the product on my face and it is AMAZING. I think you should sell it in the bigger size jars.

~ Blessed Be, Shadyside, PA

My husband has a rare condition where one of his feet is extremely dry causing cracking in the skin. This is especially bad in the summer when exposed to the air. Both the podiatrist and dermatologist say it is not a fungal infection or anything they can help. He has been using the Bee balm in stick form and it has really helped. The balm does not cure it but makes it much more tolerable and softens the heel area where the cracking is the worst. If you have any extremely dry areas on your body his balm will do the trick...

~ Tish, Willoughby Hills, Ohio

A friend of mine gave me Morning Song calendula pomegranate cream when I started radiation treatments for breast cancer. she said her mother-in-law had used it to treat her skin during her radiation treatments. I already had another product that contains calendula thatI intended to use exclusively as it came highly recommended. However, a few weeks into treatments when I started to experience some severe itching due to folliculitis, a common side effect of radiation, I decided to try the Morning Song calendula pomegranate cream. It was the only lotion that stopped the itching. As a bonus, it also has a very nice, light fragrance. I highly recommend this product to anyone undergoing radiation treatments.

~ Susan, Cleveland, Ohio

I want to thank you so much for your great customer service. I ordered a jar of the Calendula Pomegranate Bee Balm Cream yesterday and received it in the mail today! All the best, Amanda

~ Amanda, Avon Lake, Ohio

Love this stuff! (Calendula Pomegranate Cream) I use it on my face at bed time. It's great for minor burns too!

~ Karin, Avon, Ohio

I have psoriasis on my hands and feet. This lotion (Calendula Pomegranate Cream) has made my skin so much better. I can walk with no problem. it has calmed my psoriasis like nothing else ever has and I have tried everything!!

~ Barbara, Columbus, Ohio

WOW thanks for being at this years home and flower show. glad I purchased the soaps that you had there. trying the Frankincense & Myrhh olive oil soap today and can't wait to try the others. Hey, Pretty good stuff!!!! My daughter already snatched up the Lavender Vanilla. Pleased with the soaps here in Middleburg Heights.

~ Paul, Middleburg Heights, Ohio

Thank you Fred and Louise! I met you at the Dulles Expo and tried your product for my eczema Calendula Pomegranate Cream). It really helped. A woman at my work has the same condition and ordered your product too. It worked for her too. The moisture in it is great. I like using it instead of the medicine that the doctor gave me which was doing who knows what to my system. I really like using it as a night cream; It feels so good on my face. Thank you. Sharon

~ Sharon, Virginia

Louise & Fred, Thank you so much for your wonderful products! I discovered your soaps and lotions at a holiday bazaar in Cleveland (where I was born and raised) a couple years ago. I live in Minneapolis now and have many opportunities to sample organic, natural and/or locally produced soaps and lotions but have yet to find something as therapeutic and excellent as your honey and cream soap and rosemary mint lotion. I couldn't survive a Minnesota winter, or the rest of the year for that matter, without it! The quaility is top notch, lasts forever and does wonders for my sensitive skin and mild excema. I buy the unscented honey & cream soap and it has a wonderful faint smell of the natural ingredients which I find very soothing. The rosemary mint lotion is excellent before bed to soothe dry hands and feet, with a relaxing aroma. Highly recommended! Please post updates on where you might be selling locally so that my family in the western Cleveland suburbs might have an opportunity to sample and purchase. Thanks much! Holly - Minneapolis, MN

Dearest Sister is Christ: I wanted to let you know what this incrdible formulation has done for me. I thank God that we met. I no longer have rosea or exzema. I use it for pain relief for not only the fibromyalgia, but other pain issues. If I have baking burns, or other skin irritations or lesions, the (Calendula Pomegranate) cream takes care of that as well. I stopped using vitamin E oil on my left knee replacement scar. The cream has proven to be much more effective. I've shared it with so many friends, and their issues have also abated. Thank you, thank you. God Bless you..................Linda

My son suffers from eczema. I have used every natural remedy as well as medications. Nothing works! I bought your product (Calendula Pomegranate Cream) at the craft show in Va Beach. It cleared up his outbreak and he hasnt had one since! This is the first time in 10 years he is eczema free in the winter months! Thank you so much!

~ Beth, Virginia Beach

The candles arrived today and they are incredible!!! More than I hoped! I'm carving Christ candles for the center of Advent wreaths for 25 families. I bought 10 candles somewhere else before I found you. Now, I won't buy anywhere else. Also, thank you for the soap samples. I will be calling soon because I make soap stones and think I could use most anything you make. Will be talking cause what I need are scraps - will also send you a picture of soap stones. They are going like hotcakes but I won't have time to make more before Christmas. Thank you again...I'm so glad I found you! Pat

I just wanted you to know that I purchased the Calendula Pomegranate Cream from the Sauerkraut Festival this year. I also purchased the oatmeal soap. My two year old grandson has eczema and extremely sensitive skin. He has been using a cortisone cream since about six months. The young lady that sold me the product was wonderful. I don't know her name but I am going to say she was in her late 20's. She helped me to select the best product for my grandson. Your product is wonderful. I purchased a small 2 oz at the festival. It was great. I just placed an order for a large one for home, a small one for the diaper bag and oatmeal soap for my precious little grandson. I am so glad that we do not have to use the cortisone cream now. Thanks so much for making such a great product. Sincerely, Rossanna

Hello, I just wanted to tell you how happy I am with your products. My husband and I recently purchased lotions soaps and lip calms from your Booth at ' Christmas in the woods' . Not only are they helping me with acne and old scarring, but I have also found out that they work fantastic on my recent tattoo work. I'm heading to the shop today to have more work done and am planning on telling my artist all about your product and its benefits. I am truely impressed, I'll be looking toward to purchasing morevof your products in the future. Thanks again.

~ Kathy, Ohio

We bought several of your products at the Yankee Peddler Festival. We are now going to be purchasing more. I've been using your soaps and balms and have seen amazing results already. As a woman with rosacea and acne I was taking medications to help with it. I had to stop (for other health reasons) and was stuck with problem skin. Since I've started using your soap my skin is clearing, is softer than its been in YEARS and I am so happy. I was a skeptic, but now am convinced and we will be buying more when our current supply dwindles. Thank you so much. Its so nice to be able to use something natural and not be putting even more chemicals in my body!

~ April D., Ohio

Hi! I met you at Whole Foods a couple weeks ago, and I ended up buying one lip balm and you also gave me a shimmer balm to review for my youtube style and beauty channel. Here is the video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY_Rt1PjkXk

~ Cara, Ohio

Hi Louise, We have done two shows together in Virginia Beach. I'm the raku potter who first tried your creams & lip balms at the Christmas show in November, then restocked at the Spring show... Still loving all of your products! Hope your spring continues to go well with shows. This week I rewired our kiln & got 5 blisters on my hands the first day....two of which broke as I was working. Thought I'd be out of commission for a few days, but slathered your calendula pomegranate lotion on my palms & fingers repeatedly that Night. Was able to finish the job the next day! Now, two days later, with repeated applications of your cream all but the worse blister is completely healed! Ok - totally amazed here!!! Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you. I should have bought the biggest jar at the spring show instead of the middle one. I have a feeling your cream will go on much more than my face in the months to come. Have a great 2011. Look forward to seeing you in November. Sincerely, Monique

~ Monique, Virginia

Dear Friends: You may or may not remember me but I found your product at the Shaker Square fair at the recommendation of my sister. I live in St. Maarten and have shared it with friends. I now have another friend who cannot believe what it has done for another friend's skin. She will be contacting you to order. Her name is Laura and lives in New York City. I will give her your website.

~ Nancy, St. Maarten

I have a testimonial for you from tonight. :) "Can I please have some of that lotion on my cheeks? It's so soft! It feels like a comforter!" Veronica, age 4.75 Emily

~ Emily, California

I would like to tell you that I bought a jar of your Calendula Pomegranate Hand and Body Cream on a whim, thinking this was just another cream to try for my dry winter skin. To my surprise and amazement the cream has been the best thing for my skin this winter. I have been seeking many solutions, and spent countless dollars that would ease the cracking and flaking of that happens during this time of year, and I was never satisfied. When I tried the Calendula Pomegranate Hand and Body Cream my problems were solved! I love the way your cream makes my skin feel and look. No more itching or flaking. Thank you for making something that truly helps my skin, and is also reasonably priced. Sincerely, Victoria

Dear Morning Song Gardens, I wanted to share with you a remarkable story about your lip balm product. I was walking through the farmer's market outside the Cleveland Clinic in September when I bought some Bee Balm for Lips from your booth. My mother was at Cleveland Clinic due to heart complications and she had a rather large, bothersome sore right above her lip. We had asked the doctors about it, but they didn't prescribe any lotions or drugs for it - presumably because they were more concerned with her urgent heart problems. When I returned with the bee balm, my mother was complaining about the sore, and I asked her if she'd like to put a little of the bee balm on it. We figured it wouldn't hurt! Every day we applied a little. When her doctor came in three days later, he asked what happened to the sore on her lip because it was remarkably smaller. He was surprised when we told him we were using a bee balm product that we bought at the farmer's market! By the end of the week, the sore was almost completely healed. I just wanted to say thank you for this wonderful product. My mother still uses it and loves sharing this story. It surely is a testimonial to the healing powers of your product.

~ Kathy, Ohio

Hi Louise, This cream is amazing! Thank you so much for turning me on to it. Also, no worries about me going to the Clinic. Even though Donita is pushing me to be there, I don't think I will. Thanks again for making this bee balm cream. Hope you and Fred have a super weekend! See you next Saturday!

~ Lucy, Ohio

Hello Louise, This is Bev, I met you yesterday and wasn't sure which of your products that I used that took away my psoriasis and so far has not returned. You were correct, it was Calenoula Pomegranate Cream for Face, Hands and Body. I only hope the soap and dry skin lotion work as well. Nice meeting you. I'll keep you update on my psoriasis. So far so good. Bev

~ BEVFERT, Ohio

Dear Louise: I bought your product on Dec. 5, 2009. I have to admit I was a little skeptical at first since I have suffered with psoriasis for 4 years now and nothing but steriods seems to work and they only work for one day and then in the morning the patches are back to scaly and dry. I bought the Calendula Pomegranate Cream to try on my psoriasis and my children's ezcema on their face (ages 5 & 2). Shortly after I put the cream on my psoriasis, the scalyness began to soften and peel off, leaving my pink new skin to be seen again. I was completely amazed at the results after one application. Recently I had all but given up on trying anything new and had just come to resolve that this is how my skin would look for the rest of my life. I had tried Oil of Oregano, baby oil, various steroids creams, Aveeno and tar cream, all of which worked but for a moment or not at all, leaving me hopeless.....until Calendula Pomegranate Cream!! Even my 5 year old has remarked that this is the best cream ever because it smells nice and makes his face really soft!! A 5-year old can even speak the truth. So even today, I am using this product 1 - 2 times daily and it is December 12, 2009, exactly one week and my top yellowish scaly layers have NOT returned!!! I just wanted to send you a really big THANK YOU!! Plus I look forward to buying more product and trying your soaps and lotion bars! Amazing product! Thank you,

~ Janene, Ohio

Hello! I met you the last few years at the Yankee Peddler. The first year I purchased a beeswax candle that I absolutely loved! This last year, I purchased a bee balm lotion bar. I have since asked for soaps, candles, and other lotions for my birthday which is coming up soon. I can't wait to receive the additional items. The lotion has been wonderful on my skin and I feel so nourished when I use it! Thank you so much for creating such beautiful products! Blessings to you and yours! Nancy

~ Nancy, Ohio

Order Comments: Your calendula pomegranate cream has made me look 19. I am only 28 but now people always say I look well rested...these people have seen me everyday for 10 years & NEVER said that before! You should target younger people to market this to...preserves youth

~ No Name, Ohio

I met you around Christmas time at Crocker Park, and recently placed an order for more products I believe in April. In any event, I love your soaps and lotions. I use the lotion bar, but also the cream. I gave my daughter's teachers gifts this past winter, and also my Mom for mother's day. So far your products have cured the cracked and dried hands of preschool teachers, severe rosacea that my mom was suffering with, and a really nasty sunburn that I mistakenly gave myself! I love this stuff! It's completely addictive. I tell everyone I know about it. It really is great stuff!

~ No Name, Ohio

I live in Bainbridge and purchased a number of your products at the Shaker Market. Do you also sell right from your farm. I would be interested in stopping by to get some products. My twins boys use the frankensicse soap..it has help their skin wonderfully. I will share the information about the soap with other friends who have teenage children! We have stopped taking them to the Dermatolgist since your soap has helped better than the perscription medicine!

~ KATHLENE, Ohio

I am so grateful to your company. My Grandmother had been suffering from a horrible skin allergy on her face for a couple years! Some days, her eyes were swollen into slits because of the puffy and irritated skin around them. Her doctors said she was allergic to formaldehyde, and she was following all of their dietary/lifestyle suggestions, in addition to trying prescribed creams, drugs, etc. Still, she had seen little to no improvement. I was incredibly frustrated and so upset for her. A firm believer in natural health remedies, I went to Whole Foods and spoke with one their vitamins & mineral experts. A kind woman spent 10 minutes with me listening to my Grandmother's condition. She recommended she take a probiotic and suggested buying your Calendula Pomegranate Cream to put on her face. I did - and as luck would have it, your creams were being featured in the front of the vitamin section that day. I bought some for myself too, since I suffer from rosacea. Within days, my Grandmother's face cleared up COMPLETELY and HAS NOT RETURNED! She now uses your lotion every night before bed. During her last doctor's visit, they were stunned when they saw her condition had vanished. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. It's so hard to watch loved ones suffer, and your amazing product deserves respect and recognition, as it is helping thousands of people heal. I am now using the cream myself to see how it affects rosacea. Keep you posted!

~ Marlo, Ohio

Dear Fred and Louise, I have to say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you." I have been in such intense pain from arthritis for three years. Nothing I did brought any relief. I really believe your bee balm lotion bar has been a miracle to me. Doug has also been helped as he has had some pain and stiffness in his neck and shoulder area. I wanted to thank you but I also have a suggestion. It would be great to have a place on your web site for testimonials. The changes I have seen in myself have been dramatic. Not only am I almost always pain free I am having a lot more mobility in my hip joint. I almost always limped and now it is either not there at all or barely noticeable. I can hardly believe the difference. It's like I have been given a new lease on life. I was very limited in what I could do in one day. Today I hung laundry outside, washed my car, and cleaned out two flower beds. Normally I would not have been able to do all that in one day and if I tried it I would be crippled up in pain for a couple of days afterward. Today I applied the lotion bar before starting these tasks and after a shower I applied it again. I am feeling wonderful. I have been telling others about your products. I really want you to succeed and be blessed. I pray for you and if there's anything I can do to help spread the word I will. God Bless You!
