Drinking the recommended 8 glasses of water a day seems like a longshot for most people - especially unattainable when you stack them on top of all of the other better tasting, more functional drinks we all enjoy. Even for those that are able to consistently drink the recommended 8 glasses of water a day, inadequate electrolyte levels can still cause dehydration symptoms to appear. Today, 3 out of 4 Americans are chronically dehydrated* and suffer from symptoms like low energy levels, headaches, and increased blood pressure, among countless other symptoms. Everyday things like exercise, travel, consuming foods high in sodium and sugar, drinking caffeine or alcohol, and even just being outside on a sunny afternoon lead to loss of electrolytes. All of these things are not only dehydrating in the moment, but also make it harder to rehydrate for the rest of the day - partially offsetting the glasses of water you do manage to drink. With Buoy, people can efficiently stay hydrated by adding electrolytes to ANY drinks they are already consuming without compromising taste.

Honeymoon Chocolates is one of five manufacturers in the US that has formulated the process for producing chocolate sweetened with honey. The process is much like mixing water and oil. Because this process is difficult, only a handful of small craft chocolate makers have been able to reproduce this. The market potential for a nationwide craft chocolate brand that uses honey is untapped. Our goal is to use chocolate as a medium to speak with our consumers. We not only want to introduce honey as a staple sweetener to the food industry- but also encourage our customers to make smarter decisions when purchasing other food items. Our hope is to be a brand that can bring about change within an industry that is focused on turning a profit at the expense of their consumers by using cheap ingredients in their products. With each bar we sell, we have pledged 20% of our profits to the Pollinator Partnership- a coalition fighting for research and education of honeybees nationwide.
