Marketing Pro, Crafty Mom, & Clean Products Expert
Hi there, I’m Melissa
I’ve always been conscious about the products we use in our home and the food we eat. We’re not perfect – but we try to make healthy choices where we can. I have been doing the research, testing the products and making small intentional changes since my boys were babies.
Now there are even more clean choices available for you and your family. Once my daughter starting rifling through my makeup drawer, I took a real careful look at how dangerous my beauty and skincare products actually were…and I knew I had to find clean, safe swaps that worked as well as my previous products.
Eventually, I combined my desire for natural living with my love of all things crafts, gardening, and my 25 years of marketing expertise… and here we are! Now, I am sharing what I have learned to help you create a happier and healthier life!
I started Brighten & Bloom to become a life-giving, beautiful space of connection and resources for anyone interested in creating healthier, happier routines and environments. We are here to provide resources and give you self-care, beauty, and gift options you can feel good about… without wondering what’s on the ingredient list. Consider this your go-to home for all things natural, sustainable, and beautiful.
You don’t have to sacrifice quality when you switch to natural products
What if your current makeup, self-care, or home products worked the same (or even better)… but didn’t have dangerous chemicals that could harm you or your family? It’s not too good to be true! At Brighten & Bloom, we connect you with effective, clean products that work – so you can relax and recharge without fear or guilt. We empower you – through resources, education, and must-have items – to live a life that feels good, looks beautiful, and fulfills you!

Live Life On Your Terms
You don’t have to follow the rules. Life is more fun when you do it your way.
I built a successful marketing career for myself before I had kids. Once my son arrived, I knew I wanted to work and be home with him. So I created a consulting agency, took on my former company as a client, and spent the next seven years building a thriving company and caring for my boys until they started school.
Once my daughter was born, I knew I had to change it up again. This time, I was motivated by our shared love of gardening, my daughter’s obsession with flowers, and her affinity for bath bombs that I soon realized were full of weird dyes and harmful chemicals. I’m continually dreaming up and creating new products that combine my daughter’s and my shared love of nature, flowers, and anything DIY and crafty. I wanted better – for her, our family, and everyone else – so I created better…
I started out using our own flowers and garden to make delightfully scented bath bombs that are totally natural. And now I get to help people just like you make healthier, more natural choices for themselves and their families, which really is a dream come true. How can I help you break the “rules” and create a brighter future for yourself?
