My Emollient

Six weeks can go by quickly, but a lot can happen in that time.

I’m genuinely grateful for each of these interns, the creativity they shared and the time we spent learning and building together at My Emollient.

Before we said goodbye, we paused for an appreciation lunch to celebrate their work, their growth and the energy they brought to My Emollient. 💛

They did more than observe. They helped film content, explored ingredient education and learned how we communicate the importance of thoughtful, non-toxic body care.

Mentorship is never one-sided. They brought fresh ideas, creativity and new perspectives to My Emollient.

I’m proud of what we created together and excited to see where their talents take them next. Keep asking questions, taking chances and making room for your ideas.

Automating repetitive tasks is a game changer when you’re a solopreneur.

Yesterday, I attended ChatGPT for Small Businesses at OpenAI NYC, where I learned practical ways to use AI to save time, streamline everyday processes, and create more room to focus on growing My Emollient.

Some of the tools enhanced systems I was already using, while others were completely new to me. I left with ideas for improving research, content creation, customer communication, organization, and many of the repetitive tasks that come with running a business independently.

For me, AI is not about replacing the personal touch behind My Emollient. It is about working more efficiently so I can dedicate more time to product development, strategy, creativity, and connecting with my customers.

The OpenAI NYC space was beautiful, and it was wonderful learning alongside other Brooklyn small business owners.


Thank you to OpenAI, Carib Biz Network (CBN) Assemblymember Brian Cunningham and District 46, Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, and LAW Social House I Events for creating such an informative and welcoming experience for Brooklyn business owners.

Walking into the High Tea Business Salon felt like stepping into a secret garden on the water. 🌸☕️
From the beautiful setting to the conversations with women building meaningful businesses, the entire experience was filled with elegance, connection, and intention.
I was proud to bring My Emollient into this space and introduce guests to our clean, small batch body care. Seeing women experience the textures, scents, and story behind the brand is always one of my favorite parts of an event.
A beautiful day celebrating women, leadership, wisdom, and entrepreneurship. Thank you 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐖𝐄 (Women Entrepreneurs) ™ creating such an incredible gathering.

A little behind the scenes as I set up My Emollient for today’s High Tea Business Salon hosted by @businessofwe The venue feels like a beautiful garden on the water, and I’m excited to introduce more women to our clean, small batch body care while connecting with fellow entrepreneurs and leaders. There is something special about watching the table come together before the doors open. Every product, detail, and conversation is part of building the My Emollient experience. 🤎 #MyEmollient #HighTeaBusinessSalon #WomenInBusiness #CleanBeautyBrand #FounderLife
