Shoptalk Fall is coming up in Nashville, and I helped build the attendee survival guide for it! https://stf-prep.netlify.app/
The guide pulls together more than 40 retailers and brands for tips and tricks on the morning ritual before show kick-off, what to pack, the trend they plan to dig into, the session they won’t skip and the advice they’d give anyone going for the first time.

Sept. 29-Oct. 1. Last tickets are on sale now.

Shoptalk Fall

Healthy skin starts with the right routine. 🌿✨

From fresh-faced mornings to head-to-toe hydration, MelanBrand Skin was created with Black & Brown skin in mind, because our kids deserve skincare made for them, too.

🧡 Gentle, effective skincare
🌱 Vegan + cruelty-free
💧 Made for dry, sensitive & moisture-loving skin
👩🏾‍👦🏾 Created by a Black mom + son duo

Whether you’re building your child’s first skincare routine or keeping the whole family moisturized, we’ve got skin covered.

Because taking care of your skin isn’t a trend, it’s a habit that lasts a lifetime.

🍋💜 Meet MelanAde: Our Signature Lavender Lemonade

Around here, skincare isn’t the only thing we make with a little love. 💜 MelanAde has officially become our signature beverage, and the kids LOVE it. Kid-approved, refreshing, and just as good for the grown folks.

Sweet, tart, with a hint of lavender, it’s the perfect sip while you slow down and enjoy a little self-care.

MelanAde Recipe 🍋

* Juice of 6 fresh lemons
* Cold water to fill a full glass pitcher
* Cane sugar, sweetened to taste
* Sugar-Free Lavender Syrup, to taste
* Ice
* Fresh lemon slices + culinary lavender for garnish, optional

Squeeze the lemons into your pitcher, add cold water, then stir in cane sugar until it tastes just right. Add your sugar-free lavender syrup a little at a time until you get that perfect hint of lavender. Chill, pour over ice, garnish and enjoy. 💜🍋

And while you’re sipping your MelanAde™, don’t forget the other lavender favorite: our handmade Lavender Soap Bar. Because apparently, at MelanBrand Skin, we’re putting lavender in the self-care routine and the glass. 😂💜

Sip. Lather. Refresh. Repeat.

Before the business, before the awards, before the opportunities, there was simply a mother who believed in her son and a son who trusted his mother. 🤎

What began as a solution for Bron’s skin became MelanBrand Skin: a purpose-driven brand built to help Black and Brown children feel seen, cared for and confident in the skin they’re in.

We’re not just building a skincare company. We’re building a legacy, together.

Healthy skin starts with a routine made for THEM.

Skincare isn’t just for grown-ups. Teaching kids how to care for their skin early helps build healthy habits they can carry with them for years. 🤎

That’s why we created MelanBrand Skin, skincare thoughtfully made with Black & Brown kids and families in mind.

🌿 MelanKids Fresh Face Collection
Cleanse. Tone. Moisturize. Three simple steps for a routine they can actually stick to.

💧 MelanMoisture Collection
Extra hydration for dry, sensitive skin, because the face isn’t the only skin that needs love.

No complicated 10-step routines. Just gentle, intentional skincare made for growing skin. 🙌🏾

Because when they learn to care for their skin early, healthy skin becomes a habit.
