SPEAKER_03 0:48

Okay, and just so you guys know, this is how the gloss looks reference for color, for you know, if you want to come up with a little color name for it, it's so cute. And put a little bit more on this is nice, it's a dick thing. Yeah, I really do love the smell of this too. I'm not gonna lie. You bought this to the right person because the way I put lip gloss on, it makes no sense, girl.

SPEAKER_01 1:20

SPEAKER_03 1:41

Chris Melly, I'm so excited for you to be on the podcast, and thank you so much for coming and sharing your lip gloss and the hair oils. I want to get into that as well. So I do want to get to know you a little bit more before we get into your business. Where are you from?

SPEAKER_01 1:58

I'm from New York. Okay, I grew up in Dykeman.

SPEAKER_03 2:02

Dykeman, okay.

SPEAKER_01 2:03

But I moved to Jersey like around um like junior year of high school. So I've been I've been in Jersey like for like 10 years, so you were Jersey. Uh uh. Damn. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 2:20

No, but once you from New York, you when you're from New York, you New Yorking, you know.

SPEAKER_01 2:25

But yeah, I'm I'm definitely no Jersey girl. Period. I love my Jersey people. I wouldn't change that for nothing.

SPEAKER_03 2:34

Nice. So what was it like growing up for you uh in Dykeman? How was Dykeman?

SPEAKER_01 2:38

Because I know it was safe, but how it was it was rough, it was definitely rough because um I have uh imperfection, like physical imperfection, I was saying. So I I dealt with a lot of bullying growing up, but I always been the main character of my life, so I really didn't care. But it was a little hard because you know, people try to talk down on you, people try to, you know, belittle you, and you just gotta like, you know, shake it off, and it's hard, but I always I have I say that I have tough skin, so it don't even it don't even face me. I'm I'm the main character, so it don't it don't matter.

SPEAKER_03 3:29

I know that's right. What influenced you to get into beauty?

SPEAKER_01 3:35

Well, I always wanted to um uplive other women, I'll say like I wanted to make people see me how I am in regards to my disability. I am a hardworking woman, I'm a hustler, and I want to encourage women to be that, you know, be you, um, be have a business, grow something, do something in in your library. It's not all about man, you know. You gotta be your own personal um motivation, you know. You you have to have those qualities to grow. Yeah. That's how that's how I see it. I just want other, I just want people to, you know, um be something, be somebody.

SPEAKER_03 4:33

Okay. And when it came to making your lip glosses and the ingredients of it, um, and then also the hair oil as well, what was the driving force behind the ingredients that you chose?

SPEAKER_01 4:49

I wanted to make something authentic, I don't know how to say that word, art art. Yes, authentic. And I wanted to um do something real that I have you know um tried on myself and the just just the perfection of it, and I just want to show the world, yeah, what I um created because it this me. I I do this homemade. This this I create this myself.

SPEAKER_03 5:26

Nice, nice. And what are some of the ingredients that you use um for your lip oils to make it moisturizing and keep the moisturize?

SPEAKER_01 5:35

A lot I I'm very big on coconut oil, like I use coconut oil um on everything. I believe coconut oil is very it's the richest um oil. Other oils, but coconut oil is my favorite. I try to incorporate coconut oil in all the products. Um one because it it do not like freeze on on like the lip glasses, the oils it do. So I don't use coconut oil on the on the oils. But um I like it, it's very good. Okay, and it moisturizes the lips very well.

SPEAKER_03 6:25

Okay. What was I guess like your hardest part behind curating your brand?

SPEAKER_01 6:32

The hardest part was um putting it out there.

SPEAKER_03 6:38

Oh, marketing it?

SPEAKER_01 6:40

Mm-hmm. Marking it, marketing it was pretty hard because I didn't have nobody to like say, oh, let me try these products. You're a new um small business, let me, you know, I'm I'll promote them, I'll try them on. And and it was very hard in the beginning, but I pushed through it.

SPEAKER_03 7:03

Yeah. I get that. Do you feel like there was a level of faith that you had to have to get through the process? Because you said you when did you start the the business? I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_01 7:18

I started my business five years ago. Started five years ago now I'm seeing like um the the the benefits of the business, so it was a long you know, dedication, long nights, um researching. So because I really when I'm these glosses are a hundred percent guaranteed, like I try these on before you know I sell them and the oils, so everything that you're getting is rare, you know, and with with um results, like good results.

SPEAKER_03 7:59

Yeah, girl, I feel it on my results now.

SPEAKER_01 8:04

Shit, I'm marketing right now, so yeah, it's it's been hard because like people really like they be like, oh, I don't wanna buy these products because like they're not brand and stuff, but you guys have to think about it like this is homemade, this is you know, coming from a person, yeah, and what they actually have to think about as a consumer is just because it's not a uh a high-end brand or something that's not in like you know, the the local beauty malls or shops or whatever, is the fact that those brands actually also had to start from somewhere as well.

SPEAKER_03 8:47

And so, in supporting you, they are supporting one a small business owner to someone that's growing and trying to pursue a a career. You're you're supporting someone that's up and coming. There's nothing wrong with community and support.

SPEAKER_01 9:08

You get what I'm saying? That's why I would I would like to give a special special shout out to my friend, my manager. I call him my manager, even though he's not, but he saw the potential of my business, yeah, and he gave me the opportunity to be a part of his legacy, and I'm just so grateful. So I'm giving him his flowers, yeah, too. Shout out to Kaimo, yay!

SPEAKER_03 9:42

But yes, I think it is beautiful that people get to see the story and the start behind a brand. And that I think that that is very important. So I know you said you started it five years ago. What did it look like to you five years ago when you were starting your brand?

SPEAKER_01 10:02

It was a lot of work, it's a lot of late nights, like I said before. It was a lot of dedication. Um to be honest, I was when I started this brand, I was in my lowest. I just um I got kicked out of where I was staying, and I was like, oh my god, what am I gonna do now? So I was I was literally in Paterson in a shelter. It was crazy, yeah. But that's where my idea like grew. Like I wanna be, I wanna do something to encourage women that it doesn't have to end like this. There's always light in a tunnel, and you won't see that like and my business was the the the force that I needed to to elevate from that situation that I was going through at that moment in in life. You feel me? So I'm blessed to have that um information in my head that God gave me that business idea. I'm like, boom, he blesses me every day.

SPEAKER_03 11:25

Yes, and that's it's very important too. I just saw a video um Alasia. I just saw one of her videos. She was speaking about um how when you have a thought in your brain that God gives you and he's giving you an idea, you act on it. Now imagine had you sat on the idea or you execute the idea, we wouldn't be sitting here now. Like I think that is just beautiful when you get that message from God and you take it so serious where you execute right away. Yes. Because once you sit on it, set, you know. But yeah, I can't imagine that your business almost feels like your baby, in a sense, because in that time and space where you weren't at your best, having that message from God basically telling you, get up, start this business, and it come, you know, it comes to fruition and it and it helps you and it benefits your situation. It doesn't it feel like your little baby that you gotta carry around?

SPEAKER_01 12:32

Yeah, it it 100% do my baby. She's five years from she's five years now. So you got a five-year-old girl, and I'm pushing through, like it's hard. Sometimes um people like I'm doing so much, like I'm doing like podcasts now, um, I'm doing like photo shoots, and people are starting to see me, you know, starting to see the brand that makes me feel so happy. Like, wow, like you guys didn't see me back then, but now you guys are seeing me.

SPEAKER_03 13:08

It is all about uh taking a different approach to marketing. You you feel the switch when like the seriousness starts to happen within a brand. Because I know within um I could even speak to myself when I first started the podcast. Um, I was very, very eager to facilitate so many conversations at once where I was just like, all right, I'm gonna speak to this person, this person, this person, this person, this person, this person, this person. And not I felt like I had like I wasn't promoting it correctly or marketing myself correctly to the point where um it would be like okay, what what would be the reason for me to sit down and talk to you? Like you would have like I didn't give people enough reason to want to stop what they're doing in their schedule to come and sit down and have a conversation with me. You get me? And I think that having that spark within your brand and your business is important to where you can you feel like you can now market it everywhere. Like for me, I didn't um I felt like I didn't have that spark, like you were saying. Like, I didn't have that spark in terms of uh putting myself out there. I kind of still wanted to conceal like my face. That's why I was like audio only.

SPEAKER_01 14:38

Okay, so you're like um shy in the in the beginning?

SPEAKER_03 14:42

Um, I'm not a shy person, but I think that in terms of just having to be like on camera and show my appearance every time I have to record something, and just having that transition to audio only to visual, and having to redirect my marketing strategy because now I'm on camera and now this is like you know, we face to face type of thing. Yeah, so it's it's a it's completely different, and it's a completely different market, and you have to like really hone in on what the strategy will be like to get your product out to people. So I completely understand you. One hundred person.

SPEAKER_01 15:29

Yes, that's me too. Like, I was so like to be honest, I'm not shy a person, like I'm like a character person, but girl, but in but in like like camera, I'm like, oh my god, like how do I look? In my head, I'm like, oh my god, like oh my god. So that's why like I'm like, okay, now I'm like going with the flow of things, you know.

SPEAKER_03 15:54

Kind of like what you were saying uh before we even started recording, like when you're somebody, when you're somebody who is not shy, but you also do feel like the main character and you have those characteristics about yourself, once you have to, you know, show that to others or put yourself out there into the world and really expose who you are underneath like the surface, it could be a little intimidating, but like you said, your whole within yourself, and you're if you could be the Beyonce of in any room, you will forever succeed. I swear that's the only monster that I have.

SPEAKER_01 16:38

I feel for real, like you have like that's my whole life. My whole life. Everybody, like females intimidation, like they in how are you intimidated by me when I don't even like I tell everybody like yo, how how are you intimidated by me? Because I'm the main character of my life and I'm missing fingers, like it's like how like you have your whole body, like you have your whole like everything, and you intimidated by me. Me? That's crazy.

SPEAKER_03 17:13

No, for real, like that means you that girl. That's right. When people have an insecurity or feel intimidated by you, it only that that's only something that's within them.

SPEAKER_01 17:27

You know, that's they're finding something that's within them, so you don't and that's what I ha I'm so sorry for cut you off, but that's what I had to become to become the version I am right now sitting here. Because I always used to say to myself, why they don't like me? Am I doing something wrong? Like, what am I doing? Like, they don't like me. No, they don't have to like you.

SPEAKER_03 17:56

Right, they don't have to like you. It's not a requirement. It's not a requirement. That and that, I swear, that I feel like that goes for everything across the boards. It when it comes to work, when it comes to people, people are not required to like you. Family is not required to like you. So if your family ain't required to like you, damn sure a stranger ain't you. You know what I'm saying? Like a stranger is not required to like you if your family don't like you. Like, I'm gonna be very honest. So I think I've also just ran into that as well, just like even like job-wise. I explain to people at my job like a a lot that because I work in sales, which is okay, it's commissioned, so it's like it can get competitive, yeah. And it can be competitive if you let it be competitive, like if that's what your intentions are and what your driving force is, if you're a competitive person, there's nothing wrong with that. But if you're nasty in how you go about competition, then we have an issue.

SPEAKER_01 19:08

Yeah, that's that's not nice. Yeah, God don't like ugly. I just wanted to say that real quick.

SPEAKER_03 19:16

Well, go ahead. But yeah, I just think that if you go about competition in a nasty way, like if you see competition as um what's for me is not for me and it should be for you, then we have an issue because what's for me will always be for me, and what's for you will always be for you, regardless of what the competition of anything is. I don't have to necessarily like you to be able to work with you. You get what I'm saying? Like people just aren't required to like you, but you're gonna respect me. You're gonna respect me. Like, I you're not required to like me, but you will respect me, and I think that that's where um I relate to you on because that's the thing.

SPEAKER_01 20:13

People, jealous people, they just wanna be like, oh, I don't like her because she's better than me. But no, you should like the person and be like, not that you want to be that person, but like me, like personally, I hang out, like I try to hang out, become friends with powerful women. Not because I want to be them, but because I want to learn from them.

SPEAKER_03 20:38

Same, yes, exactly. You're partially who you surround yourself with. That's one. And so I realize that the hard way. I mean, just we already got into it with the with the with the whole we y'all know where I've been, where I know.

SPEAKER_01 20:55

But I feel like I'm it's never too late, girl. You doing as long as you're doing better now, that's what's count, that's what counts. Exactly. And prove to you. Clock.

SPEAKER_03 21:07

Thank you, yes. And that's literally all it is. Like, I don't think it it's definitely never too late, but you accept and be done with the person that you used to be and move forward. And you know, also what what did they say? I guess like not dwell on who you used to be and focus on like who you want to be in that case. I think that's rare.

SPEAKER_01 21:34

That took me so like you say it so like it's easy, it's not easy, yeah. You gotta kill that version of yourself that didn't want more, you know. And I have killed versions of myself that were not like depression, I was depressed, I was this, I was that. I like I had to let that go. And I had to become this. Person in reality to be better, achieve better things. Because if you feel like you're not enough, you're gonna act like you're not enough. So that therefore you have to let it go. Yeah. And it's hard. It's really, really hard. This is why I built this brand because I wanted to be that girl to motivate other women and just you know, be there and just be like, girl, you don't have to do this. You could level up, you could be better. There's always tomorrow, and that's why God gave you another day for you to be better. I'm gonna be better tomorrow. That's what I say to myself every morning. I'm gonna be better, I'm gonna be more better than I was than I was yesterday.

SPEAKER_03 22:55

Yeah, exactly. Because God gave you the the breath to do it, and he gave you the will to do it, and I think that's important. I always, every morning, I ask. I don't even ask. I praise and thank God for giving me another day and another opportunity to either bless somebody, receive a blessing, or be of service or a blessing to somebody because I know there were there was multiple times in my life where I didn't even I wasn't thankful enough. I was just asking God for things. You ever felt like that?

SPEAKER_01 23:30

Like Yeah, like because sometimes like people are selfish, not that saying that, but sometimes people like don't see like like God is always there, God is watching you. That's why you gotta like you know pray. I always pray. I pray every night before I go to sleep, and I do my um informations every morning. I look at myself in the mirror and I just um tell myself you're beautiful, you're gonna be better than yesterday. And that really helped me to love myself even more. And um that's what people should be doing. Um doing these how you say informations every morning? Affirmations? Yeah, affirmations, sorry, affirmations every morning. So y'all love yourself, like I did, like I I've been doing.

SPEAKER_03 24:31

How do you get your affirmations from like a source like a like a song or music or a book? Or do you like how do you come up with affirmations? Because I tried. I'm gonna be honest.

SPEAKER_02 24:42

To be honest, I'm in a mirror, like I'm beautiful, I'm gorgeous. But I need some other stuff like I'm rich, wealthy, science. I mean, where are you finding your life?

SPEAKER_01 24:51

I've been listening to it. I've been listening to music. Oh, 50 cents, get money. That's my shit. I know.

SPEAKER_03 25:04

I used to listen to um on my way to work, I used to listen to Gucci Man. That used to be my uh he used to be my affirmation because he just always talked about getting it off the mug, getting some money. Like Gucci Man never not spoke about getting money. So he used to like be my driving force when I used to go to work, but now I'm gonna switch it to uh Corinne Hawthorne. That girl, get me together all the time. Corinne Hawthorne, she's a gospel singer, she's really, really good. Oh, nice! Yeah, she's her voice kind of has like a little remnants of Beyoncé, but also like Monica and gospel, so that's why I kind of like it.

SPEAKER_01 25:45

Lovely. I gotta get into that. Yes, you do.

SPEAKER_03 25:48

I'll play your song, I'm gonna play your song. But we are going to be right back. We're gonna take a little break and then we're gonna get into the hair oils that Chris Nelly has as well, right?

SPEAKER_00 25:59

Oh, he was nice about it. Yeah, he yeah, nice, all right, guys.

SPEAKER_03 26:05

So we're back, and we are going to get into Chris Nelly's hair oils, which your girls need. So, Chris, I need to know what's in these oils.

SPEAKER_01 26:14

Okay, so basically, the oils are homemade, they are consistent with rosemary, garlic, ginger, mint, and avocado. All these ingredients are very rich to the hair product goes, they're designed to increase your hair molecules, and did I say that right? Molecules, yeah. I'm so sorry. Um, yeah, so it's really about the the sense of care growth. You feel me? And they're supposed to um straighten your hair.

SPEAKER_03 26:54

Okay, and what's the best way to use the oils? Because I know that there's different ways to use hair oils and instructions and stuff.

SPEAKER_01 27:00

So how do you suggest to use it um for 20 to 50 minutes, massage your hair, put it on the roots, and just massage your hair and then take it out because um the smell is a little strong due to the onion and garlic. Okay, because I actually let this sit for five hours so it could soak in all the chemicals. I mean not chemicals, the the ingredients, and they're so it's like very strong, so yes. Okay, I love it. I use it on my daughter, I use it on me, and it I I've been seeing so much like results because I actually dyed my hair not so long ago, and with my hair, it just breaks like in in in the ends, like it just it just breaks, and I'm just like, oh my god, I can't like because my hair grows, but if it breaks, it's gonna like does it break it? Is it easily uh prone to breakage your hair? Yes, yes, and this hair growth oil is so good because it's um it's so strong, like my hair is so strong now, and I've been using this oil forever. Actually, I actually stopped using it because my hair stylist was like, girl, don't use no more. You have a lot of hair. So so now I'm back on it because yeah, I need it, so I'm I'm excited to see. Like in a few months, they're gonna be like long hair, don't care. I'm gonna be like, I'm back, and with my pictures, like I have pictures like from like two, three years ago that my hair was like uneven. Oh, it was like choppy, yeah. Okay, girl, this hair growth growth oil changed my life. I'm telling you, because I have tried, I try all the products before I sell them. So this it's a life changer, okay. Like it's my best seller actually.

SPEAKER_03 29:23

I'm excited to try it because um with my hair, we don't get along. Like me and my hair don't get along like it's nice and cute when uh it's done like this, but when it's not done, my girl is struggling, she be thirsty.

SPEAKER_01 29:47

My hair gets thirsty dry, yes, mine too, and that's what that's what caused a lot of breakage, yeah. With me, because it gets dry, so I just I tend to must moisturize my hair. Even coconut oil helps you. Like you put coconut on your on your tips, on the tips, and then just tip and then go up, it helps you so much. Um I'm I'm very big on organic things, like I don't like chemicals in that in my hair or anywhere. Like, I'm I'm even trying to um do uh uh uh lotion.

SPEAKER_01 32:36

Um, starting with$10.

SPEAKER_03 32:38

Faith in starting with$10. Okay, I need you to elaborate. Why faith in starting with$10 versus starting when you have a full budget?

SPEAKER_01 32:47

Because um I like to say to everybody, why wait for later when you could start today? Like, come on now. You're gonna be struggling, but God is gonna give you an idea, and you're gonna have to do it. If God says do something, you do it. And that's that.

SPEAKER_00 33:10

Literally.

SPEAKER_03 33:11

I agree with that. Somebody said make it enough. Make it enough. For real. I think this is kind of obvious, but faith in DIY projects at home or faith in outsourcing everything.

SPEAKER_01 33:31

Faith in at home.

SPEAKER_03 33:33

Faith in at home. Okay, I don't need to do that real now. We we we got you on that one. Oh, this is a good one that I think is it resonates with me in terms of what you what are you willing to do? That's that's what this one is. Faith in posting every day, or faith and posting only when it's perfect. Faith in posting every day. Faith and posting every day.

SPEAKER_01 34:04

Okay, elaborate one. You have to have consistency. Always post every day. People might not see it, but people are gonna see it regardless.

SPEAKER_03 34:16

Mm-hmm. People definitely, definitely. Okay, let's get into some beauty. Yes, faith in or faith out, faith in lip gloss, or faith in matte lips?

SPEAKER_01 34:30

Faith in lip gloss. Do you like a matte lip? I like it, but I always end up with the lip gloss. Same. I don't I love glossy. I love you know, to feel like yes, lip gloss, it's popping.

SPEAKER_03 34:50

Do you remember that era in makeup where it was matte everything, like matte purple lipstick? I hated that like nude, like it was so dry. Everything looks so my god, it was so dry. That was a crazy era in makeup. Like that that matte, the the MAC mat with with like with no liner used to be nuts. It used to be nuts. What a crazy world. No, for real. So I appreciate a gloss every time. I've never I've never been a fan of matte, only on certain looks, but I need that little lip gloss. Okay. Faith and consistency or faith and motivation.

SPEAKER_01 35:43

Faith in motivation.

SPEAKER_03 35:45

Okay. And why?

SPEAKER_01 35:47

Because if you don't have the motivation, how are you gonna stay consistent? You know for real. You have to have somebody to motivate you. Alright, one more.

SPEAKER_03 36:01

Faith in a soft life or faith in hustling 24-7.

Faith in hustling 24-7.

SPEAKER_03 36:13

Okay, and the final one. Faith in Chris lip balms or faith in the hair oils.

SPEAKER_00 36:24

Oh my god, this is a hard one.

SPEAKER_01 36:29

But I'll say the hair, the hair growth oils. Okay can I can I say why? Absolutely. Because the hair growth oils saved my life. Like, you guys don't know how I how depressed I was when my hair was short and like breaking. Because everybody knows that for a woman, your hair is everything. You feel me? And I didn't want to wear no wigs because I have hair, you know what I'm saying? Like, I this is me, and like the hair group oil, they really save my life, and I will always give them their flowers.

SPEAKER_03 37:11

Okay, nice, and I respect that because when you have an abundance of faith in your own products and you know what works for you, you can influence others to you know want to try it and then also show your results of you know how you got to where you are.

SPEAKER_01 37:33

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 37:34

SPEAKER_01 37:36

I know, I don't want to leave. I was saying it with Jules. This would be so lovely. I love her already. Oh, I can't wait to see this, like on on online. I know. Oh my god, like we we had so much fun.

SPEAKER_03 37:52

This was fun, but I can't let you go yet. Okay, we have one more thing that we are not playing about, okay, and we're no longer playing games. So you guys know when we get to the end of the podcast, we play a lot of games, but we are no longer playing about. And Chris, I want to know what are you no longer playing about in this season of your life?

SPEAKER_01 38:15

Like do people use me. I feel like people use the the the generosity because I'm a giver. I always like if if you don't got it, I got it. It's okay. You could I'm a I'm I'm I'm uh I'm a habit, so it don't matter. Like you're gonna be good with me. But some people they tend to use you like oh she gonna she she gonna help me because sh she has a big heart. I can't help nobody. I I'm I'm just me. You know, I'm just a person. I can't help you. Find somebody else to do it.

SPEAKER_03 38:57

Get somebody else to do it. Get somebody else to do it, and get them to do it now. For real, because it ain't gonna be me. No, I'm I'm just not playing about my respect. So that's that. That part. Period. And so, Chris, please let the people know where they can find you, where they can purchase your lip gloss, and your hair oils as well.
