In celebration of Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day, I am excited to share with you The Glow Girl Edit for Female Owned Businesses. This comprehensive list covers some of the best female-founded companies with products in fashion, beauty, wellness and lifestyle. I’ve had the pleasure of covering or working with many of these brands over the past year and think you will enjoy perusing this list to check out some of the latest and greatest out there. The updated edit below is an aggregated list that includes many of my original faves from the articles, “Female Co-Owned Small Business Edit” and “Black Businesses to Support" in addition to many new brands I’ve discovered in the past 6 months. These female-owned companies are all killing it in their sectors-I can’t wait to see what’s next for them. We all know how much work goes into running a thriving business and to move the needle, you need to be super savvy and offer a product or service that really stands out from the crowd.

I personally love all the businesses on this list and have arranged special discounts for you with several of these indie brands. Be sure to check out The Glow Girl deals page to see the exclusive discounts all in one place for easy shopping.

My Top Tips to Look and Feel 10 Years Younger

February 20, 2021 Melissa Meyers

Those of you who have been following me for a while know that I am a wellness and self-care advocate. Being an editor turned influencer, I’ve had the luxury of being able to road test hundreds of lifestyle products over the years. There’s just so much info and so many products out there to review and digest—I think most women these days may not have the time or budget to thoroughly vet them. It’s my job (and I love it) to weed through all this “stuff” and to recommend the top things, to my knowledge, that help me to look and feel my best. Everything is highly curated and I only recommend products and brands that I truly love. I am passionate about sharing these best-kept secrets to help you save time and lead a more enhanced life. I just turned 56 and feel better than I did when I was in my 30’s, so I know first hand that these lifestyle hacks work!

10 Tips for Self Improvement

February 1, 2018 Melissa Meyers

Happy February Glow Girls! It's been one month since we made our New Years Resolutions but did we stick to them? No worries if you didn’t--you can start by implementing some of my favorite lifestyle hacks now. Read on for my top 10 tips to become a happier, healthier version of yourself.

1. DIET DAYS: Try a new eating plan to help lose a few extra pounds. Eating clean will make you feel better and get stronger! Whole 30 and the Akasha Center Food Cleanse are two of the safest and most effective diet plans.

2. FIND YOUR STUDIO: Purchase a Class Pass to try different exercise programs to find the ones that fit your lifestyle. You can go to multiple studios for great prices and at the same time try different types of exercise classes.

3. LOOK GOOD, FEEL GOOD: Motivate yourself to work out by sporting some new fashionable activewear. This helps me get in the right mindset to exercise and I also feel good wearing them straight to lunch. For the trendiest, most unique styles shop at Carbon38, Bandier and Sweat NSK. Get 15% off with discount code glow15 for all purchases from Sweat NSK.

4. TRACK IT: Invest in a fitness tracking bracelet like Fitbit or Apple Watch. You can track your steps, miles, and even how much and what kind of sleep you are getting.

5. CLEANER BEAUTY: Use organic and clean beauty products that are safe and effective. Some favorites include my new Olie X Melissa Meyers RoseGlow drops, and the make-up and skin care lines by Beautycounter and SAPPHO.

6. GOOD ENERGY: Keep your home healthy, fragrant and toxic-free. I use my Essential Oil Diffuser every day in my home office and love the lavender scent. Also try using this saging kit to clear out the negative energy from your space.

7. LISTEN: Tune in to audio books and self-help podcasts. My favorite audio books include The 5 Second Rule, Spark Joy and Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up. For podcasts, I recommend Happier with Gretchen Rubin and The Marie Forleo Podcast.

8. MEDITATE: Download a meditation app to guide you through short, daily sessions of zen. Some favorites include Headspace, Calm and Unplug Meditation.

9. SUPPLEMENTS: Start incorporating dietary supplements to boost your overall health. OLLY makes delish gummies that include Endless Energy, Flawless Complexion, Restful Sleep and Goodbye Stress.

10. SOAK IT UP: Treat yourself to a weekly bath ritual that includes lighting beautifully scented organic candles by Sanari. Try adding lavender bath salts by Suzi's Lavender and soothing bath oil by ESPA, two of my bath time favorites.

Keep glowing and enjoy reaching your happier, healthier self!
