I took my Journey in April 2015, and two years later I can still feel the powerful awakening of self-leadership. ‘Finding authenticity’ up to then was just a phrase to which I knew the definition but not the meaning.

BeeBee Wraps are organic cotton and beeswax food wraps. They are reusable, non-toxic and biodegradable. Most importantly they provide a sustainable alternative to plastic food wrap or clingfilm.

I am so thrilled to be starting a social venture that potentially could have a massive impact on reducing plastic use. Plastic overflows in landfill sites, litters our oceans, poisons our creatures, takes over 400 years to decompose and even then remains in tiny particles only to be reabsorbed by us! My mission is to reduce plastic pollution in our world by offering a beautiful alternative which not only does the job, it does the job better. And the ideas keep coming…
Thank you Embercombe. The embers of the fire still glow brightly!
