This #supportsmallseptember :💥MEET THE FOUNDER of @beeoneofakind -Melissa Mendes
.
Growing up in a European/Middle Eastern family, I learnt very quickly, that if you needed something, you either grew it or made it yourself. As a young child, I spent much time with my Italian grandparents, learning the traditional ways of cultivating and harvesting for the seasons ahead. A particular fond memory I have is watching in awe as my Nonna would strive away at making her own soap. Her multi-purpose recipe was used to clean everything from the laundry, the dishes and we would even bathe in it. My Nonna was a Queen Bee! She made it her priority to care and provide for her family, the best way she could, with what she had. She believed her wellbeing was influenced by the wellness of her family and vice versa.
.
Inspired and motivated by the birth of my daughter Luna, in 2015, I was determined to share my journey and personal experience of Motherhood. My own health had deteriorated and I honestly became depleted in every which way; mentally, emotionally and physically. I was desperate to reclaim myself, somehow. I took a course in Natural Therapies and discovered a passion like no other. A way to not only rediscover and self-develop, but a pathway that led me to help others.
.
My mission was to create the opportunity for like-minded women to nourish and nurture their inner Queen Bee. To create and provide a range of bath and body care products, that encourage moments of calm amongst the chaos and to honour our irreplaceable existence.
