Stuck with pesky stretch marks from a recent (or not so recent) weight fluctuation? Whether from puberty, weight-lifting or pregnancy, stretch marks are the result of our bodies growing faster than our skin can stretch to accommodate. The result: white or pink ribbons of skin that aren't nearly as romantic as they sound.
Before you head to the doctor for pricey laser treatments or slather on harsh chemicals, try this all-natural, 100% organic remedy made using just two ingredients found in your kitchen.
Ingredients
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup Stakich Manuka Honey
Directions
In a medium pot, boil the sweet potato in water until easily pierced with a fork, approximately 20 minutes. Drain and transfer to food processor.
Add the honey and blend until smooth and well combined. Let it cool to room temperature before applying a thick layer to stretch marks. Let sit for 20 minutes before rinsing with warm water.
Repeat daily for best results.
Note: the newer the stretch mark, the faster is will respond to treatment. Most people will see results within three weeks.

One bee product that has recently gained attention in the health world is bee propolis.

But what is bee propolis, and why are so many people adding it to their daily wellness routine?
Not every jar, bottle, or bag is as good as it looks. A lot of the big-name stuff you see online? It’s been over-processed or blasted with heat, which zaps the natural enzymes. Some of it’s been watered down with syrups or other fillers. Sometimes, it just sits around too long and loses its freshness and flavor. When shortcuts get taken, you end up with products that don’t taste right and don’t give you the real benefits.
Every January, we all start with big plans. Eat healthier. Feel better. Finally, take care of ourselves. Then, a few weeks in, those resolutions start to feel like a chore. It’s not that you’re lazy or unmotivated. The real problem? Trying to change everything all at once just doesn’t work. This year, let’s keep things simple. The best habits are the ones that fit naturally into your life, the ones you don’t dread, even on your busiest days.
Whether you're boosting immunity, enhancing energy, or upgrading your daily nutrition, this guide will show you why Stakich bee products can help you in every type of wellness routine.
