POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

A week ago Today, After eight years, Bloom’s storefront at Tlaquepaque Market is officially closed.

Bloom began in 2018 with a simple purpose: to create a space centered around handmade beauty while giving local makers and small businesses a place to be seen, discovered, and supported.

Over the years, Bloom grew alongside the community around it. We became makers ourselves, developed our own products, hosted workshops, events, and activations, and evolved into the creative space Bloom is today—where wellness, community, and artistry meet.

We’re deeply grateful for the opportunity to have grown there and for everything those eight years gave us.

Since closing the storefront, we’ve gained a little more clarity around how everything unfolded, and some things make more sense now than they did at the time. Time has a way of revealing the rest.

What matters most is this:

Bloom is not going out of business.

We’re still creating, still making, still popping up around Houston, and still looking for the right place to call home next. Also, You can still order online at BLOOMHBP.com

There’s no new address to share just yet, but when there is, you’ll hear it directly from us.

For now, we’re grateful for where Bloom began, proud of what it became there, and excited for what comes next. Thank you all for your continued support! 🙏💚

And still, we BLOOM🌱.

Your face called. She said she wants the S.H.I.T. 😌🍯🌿

Yep… Sugar Honey Iced Tea Face Scrub. 😂 And while the name is cute, what’s INSIDE this jar is very serious about your skin.

I formulated this scrub with ingredients your face actually appreciates:

🍵 Matcha + Green Tea — naturally rich in antioxidants that help protect the skin from environmental stress and support a healthier-looking complexion.

🌹 Rose — traditionally used in skincare to soothe and support soft, refreshed-looking skin.

🌼 Jasmine — known for its soothing and skin-conditioning properties, helping skin feel soft, supple and cared for.

🍯 Manuka Honey — a humectant that helps attract and retain moisture while leaving your skin feeling soft and conditioned.

And of course, the sugar provides the physical exfoliation to help remove that dull, dead surface skin so your face feels smoother, softer and refreshed.

Basically, sometimes you need to wash your face…

…and sometimes you need to get that S.H.I.T. together. 😂🙌🏾

Add it to your skincare routine and see why I don't formulate products just to sound good on an ingredient label. They have a JOB to do.

Save this post for your next skincare restock and SEND IT to somebody whose face
needs some S.H.I.T. 😂🐝

🌿 Listen… I can grow HERBS all day! 😂 The pests barely bother them, which is probably why I stay successful in that department.

FOOD tho?! Chile. Every. Single. Year. 🥴 Something in this garden acts like I planted a personal buffet .. ie: Cicadas, snails and other crawling things I cannot identify.

I’ll be putting up netting, but until then, I’m pulling out an OLD SCHOOL grandma trick: self-rising flour!

Yep. SELF RISING FLOUR. 👀 Sprinkle it where certain crawling garden pests are feeding. They ingest it, and the idea is that the flour expands after they consume it.

Now don’t go dumping the whole bag of White Lily in the garden. 😂 A little goes a long way, and I’d test it in a small area first.

Sometimes Grandma’s garden tricks come through! 🌱

Anybody else remember this one? Or what old-school garden trick did YOUR grandma teach you? Drop it in the comments because I’m taking notes! 👇🏾😂

And while I’m out here fighting for my vegetables, you can shop what I KNOW how to grow and formulate with. 😂🐝💅🏿

Meet September. 🍂

I decided to do something a little different with this month's Surprise Body Oil.

No fancy name. It's just September.

It starts bright with bergamot, then settles into aged vanilla, velvety jasmine and warm tobacco leaf.

The result is warm, smooth, slightly sweet, earthy and softly smoky.

Not quite summer.
Not quite fall.

September.

🐝 Full-size 8 oz Body Oil
🐝 $22/month for subscribers/$36 w/out the subscription.
🐝 A new surprise blend every month

Put it on damp skin after your shower and let it settle.

Sometimes you have to look at what you built from a different angle. 🥹🐝

This is Kissed By A Bee Organics.

I’m a herbalist. I’m a farmer. I’m a formulator. I’m a business owner. And behind this warehouse is YEARS of work, mistakes, lessons, long days, late nights and a community of people who continue to choose this little Black-owned business over and over again.

We make products for REAL skin, REAL bodies and REAL life—and we’ve been doing it since 2013. 🌿🐝
