Room Service Spa Tips
BY:Josh and BrentSome of our biggest travel pet peeves are the in-room amenities – shampoos, soaps, lotions – that actually seem to harm your hair and skin more than help it. One day, while waiting for room service to come pick up a dinner tray, we realized how many great, natural DYI skin products were on it. So we thought about it a little more and came up with several common room service items that are better for your body than the little tubes and bottles provided in the bathroom.

The other is from Dickens’ ‘Oliver Twist’, the orphan who pleads “can I have some more, please?” This [...]

Self-diagnosed
BY:Josh and BrentHow to tell if you’re infected. Certain people, myself included, are afflicted by a condition that’s difficult to describe. It’s not recognized by physicians or psychoanalysts (yet), but it’s really only a matter of time before it’s a household diagnosis. It’s a sharp, targeted depression, a sudden overcast feeling that hits you while you’re at [...]

Healing Waters
BY:Josh and BrentThe Native Americans of the Mohawk Valley were the first to discovery the mystical beauty of Sharon and the healing powers of its mineral springs, using the sulfur-rich waters to heal the skin.

What’s that Smell?
BY:Dr. BrentOne of the first things we hear when people enter the Mercantile is “I can smell your store from half-way down the street.” It’s true. With over 200 essential oils at use in our various products, the eau de Beekman 1802 is enticing. But essential oils are more than just olfactory thrills. They [...]

Warming Up
BY:Dr. BrentThis has been a brutal winter at Beekman Farm, and even if we had the thermostat set to 90 and every fireplace in the house roaring, I don’t think we could have fully combated the bone chilling temperatures outside. Fortunately, we know a few tricks (other than hot chocolate and whiskey) that can help keep [...]

BY:Josh Kilmer-PurcellRecently we were asked by Good Housekeeping online for some tips on how to keep a relationship from suffering too much from holiday stress. At first we thought it was kind of funny that they would ask us that question, since one of the things we’re best known for is, well, not always getting along. [...]
