Who's Meli?

In 2009 my husband Brad encouraged me to take the leap from having a passion for helping people and dabbling with handmade soaps and essential oils and turn it into a business. I started crafting recipes and learning as much about essential oils, skin types and allergies, healthy ingredients, and other homepathic ways of healing so that by 2013 I ventured into business ownership. Meli Lips was born and our location opened in Glendale Arizona. Two short years later we moved the location to a more prominent spot located in the Historic shopping district which is where it stands today.

About Me

I grew up in Chicago and was around my family’s business “Taqueria Vera Cruz” which was a small mexican restaurant on Lake Street. This gave me a great sense of the passion and work ethic needed to make something successful. Hard work isn’t enough, you have to have passion and determination. I found that my passion was truly about helping people. This led me to the medical field where I worked for over 26 years in Orthopedics.

Essential oils are extracted directly from the bark, flower, fruit, leaf, seed or root of a plant or tree, and just one drop can have powerful health benefits. They are typically created through the process of distillation, which separates the oil and water-based compounds of a plant by steaming.
