Can't go wrong with Burt's Bee's Wax



It's a 938 mile drive from Rice Lake, WI to Creedmoor, NC where Burt's Bee's Wax is based.

99 miles from Newcastle,CA to Tracy,CA.  If you live near Sacramento, CA and love fresh organic food you might want to think about joining a CSA ( community supported agriculture) like The Natural Trading Company.

They were bought in the land down under, yeah.

Organic pineapples from Costa Rica and bought in Pleasanton, CA traveled 3,024 miles.
Here's a fun fact for those who might be planning a trip to Costa Rica-The word for HOT, in Spanish, is caliente. Caliente begins with a "C". Water faucets imported from the USA almost all have a "C" on them. If your Hot Water never seems to get HOT in Costa Rica, try the handle with the "C". Note, this may change from bathroom to bathroom within the same house.
