Moods by Michelle

🚨 SMALL BUSINESS GRANT OPPORTUNITY — FOUNDERS, THIS ONE IS FOR YOU!

Sometimes one opportunity can help move a business one step closer to where it’s meant to be.

That’s why I created the Moods by Michelle Founders Grant. ❤️

As a founder myself, I know what it’s like to have the vision, the plan, and the determination to build something meaningful—and still need a little help getting to that next milestone.

So Moods by Michelle is putting real funding behind emerging entrepreneurs.

✨ TWO FOUNDERS WILL RECEIVE $750 EACH

Grant Award: $750 per recipient
Recipients: 2 founders
Application Deadline: September 30
Who Can Apply: Eligible U.S.-based founders, co-founders, and controlling business owners, from pre-launch through 3 years of active operations
Selection: Merit-based using published judging criteria
Application Fee: $10

This is not a random drawing. Applications are reviewed and scored using published criteria, including your business concept, what you’ve accomplished so far, how you plan to use the funding, and the potential impact of the award.

If $750 could help you purchase equipment, secure inventory or packaging, cover licensing, invest in marketing, build your website, or move another meaningful business milestone forward, I want to hear your story.

And if this opportunity isn’t for you but you know a founder who could use it, send this post to them. Tag them. Share it. Because opportunities are meant to be shared.

A little behind the scenes at Moods by Michelle. 🖤

Ever wonder how those little skincare samples actually get filled?

Here's a peek at me filling our Velvet Melt Botanical Cleansing Oil sample packets—one by one.

These little packets may be small, but they're someone's first introduction to Velvet Melt, so I want that experience to feel just as intentional as the full-size product.

I STILL CRY. I STILL STRUGGLE.

And sometimes…I still wonder if I'm doing any of this right.

I originally recorded this video for a grant application. But when I watched it back, I realized I was talking about so much more than a business.

I was talking about my life. My why. And what it actually took for me to start Moods by Michelle.

There was a time when I was in a really difficult place in my life—and still trying to hold onto this dream.

I DoorDashed to make money to put into Moods by Michelle.

Delivery by delivery.

Not because I knew for certain this would work.
Not because I had everything figured out.
But because I believed enough to keep trying.

And somewhere along the way, this became more than a business to me.

I love what I do.

I love creating. I love learning. I love watching something that started as an idea in my head turn into something real.

But loving it doesn't mean I don't struggle.

I second-guess myself.
I get overwhelmed.
I have moments when I wonder if I'm making the right decisions.

And yes...sometimes I cry.

You'll actually see one of those moments in this video. I thought about cutting it out.

I left it in.

Because if I'm going to tell you the story behind Moods by Michelle, then I want to tell you the real story—not just the pretty parts.

I'm still building.
I'm still learning.
I'm still believing.

And most importantly...

I'm still here. 🖤

The Vision Behind Moods by Michelle

Every brand begins with a vision.

Long before the first product was created, there was a simple idea...

To create a luxury self-care experience where every product encourages you to slow down, reset, and care for yourself with intention.

Moods by Michelle was built on the belief that self-care isn’t a luxury reserved for special occasions—it’s something you deserve every day.

We’re putting the finishing touches on something we’ve poured our hearts into, and we can’t wait to share it with you.

Luxury for Every Mood.

Luxury lives in the details.

The details you may never notice...
..are often the ones we spend the most time perfecting.

From the ingredients we choose to the way every package is prepared, every decision is intentional.

Because creating a luxury experience isn’t just about what’s inside the bottle.

It’s about how every detail makes you feel.

Our story is just getting started.
