Take a Mela-Moment: How MELABUTTA Transformed My Journey to Self-Care
I never used to moisturize. I was always “too busy”—or so I thought. But how can you ever be too busy to take a Mela-Moment with yourself?
When you take a Mela-Moment, you give yourself the space to intentionally hear your own needs and wants. It wasn’t until 2019, as an enlisted soldier in the U.S. Army, that I truly started to listen to myself. That’s when I began creating my own natural skincare products.
As I applied the products I made, something remarkable happened. I started to transform—mentally, physically, and spiritually. I fell in love with what MELABUTTA did for me. (Funny enough, it was originally called MELACREAM—yes, even the name transformed!)
From that moment, I wanted everyone to experience the same feelings I had love, warmth, and comfort. So, I started passing out samples. With every sample, I felt like I was sharing a little piece of the joy I had found—this feeling of being heard, validated, and safe within my own company.
For someone like me, feeling safe was unfamiliar territory. But as I began to love myself more, it became my standard. It became non-negotiable to feel anything less.
After years of growth, research, and development, I am beyond thrilled to announce the official launch of MELABUTTA, starting with my firstborn product: MELABUTTA’s Body Butter.
