If you have special dietary request, please let us know we will do our best to accommodate you. Workshop fee is $250.00, which covers all supplies to make a wide variety of skin care and spa products that you create and decorate. There will be snacks, herbal infused teas and a healthy vegetarian lunch with the group at Red Bee Apiary. Plus copies of all the recipes and a signed copy of Marina’s book HONEYBEE.

Why Natural Skin Care…
What you put on your body is as important as what you put in your body! Each and every day millions of Americans are unknowingly exposing themselves to dangerous, toxic chemicals – many are found in your everyday skin care products at home! The use of natural products is becoming more important for those of us who value our health. If you’re a purist when it comes to the products you use on your skin or are sensitive to artificial ingredients, you will love this DIY workshop.
