With every industry there are a lot of misconceptions, the same goes for the fragrance industry. Here is Part 1 of my disclaimer series about perfume I think you should know. 1. Sensitivity is a Real ThingHow much is too much? When you walk past someone and they instantly turn their head to sneeze.We all know [...]

I have not met a perfumer that was solely inspired by walks in botanical gardens, or long hours spent mixing scents in a lab. Our fragrances are inspired by our own experiences, our travels and the people in our lives. I may be the new kid on the block when it comes to perfumery, but [...]

That is why we can never forget the scent of a former lover years later or the way you felt when you were wearing a particular perfume. The name of my new fragrance, Remember When pulls from the phenomenon that [...]

                            The phrase "Just do you" has crept its way into a lot of my conversations. Some think it is a thing to tell friends when you have nothing else to say, but imagine with me for a second what would happen if [...]

What's a photo shoot without a few bloopers? I thought I'd let the curtain down and let you all see some of our fun, laughable moments from 2015. I LOVE to laugh and tell jokes! Sometimes they're rolling on the floor hilarious and most times I'm usually the only one laughing, boo! I make no [...]

I have let the frustrations of being an entrepreneur get to me one too many times. Whoever said running a business was a cake walk lied; this journey is a roller coaster! To disrupt these frustrations, the smooth sounds of gospel, soul, and chillstep music are my go-to’s. Check out the songs from my playlist [...]

You never forget your firsts, that’s how the saying goes. And it’s so true! I remember my first customer, first Instagram follower, first reviewer and so on. Well this week another first is being added to my list; my first retail client, Shop 1990 in Houston, TX is now carrying my fragrance, Remember When in their [...]

Don’t let me fool you, it’s extremely difficult to create, manufacture, sell and get other people excited about your product. What makes it easier? Instinct and the people you surround yourself with. I made a promise to myself before stepping out to create MAIR; I told myself I would design and create my perfume line [...]

I am always baffled when I meet people that have never traveled outside of their home state, and even more confused when I further discover they have no desire to see, or experience the world beyond what is familiar to them.

When I first started planning the ad campaign for my brand my mind was racing with hundreds of ideas, I wanted something captivating and grand. Looking back at that moment, I have to laugh to myself a little bit because I had no idea what I would be in for the next months ahead.There is a gospel song [...]

So, I have a confession to make, I LOVE prints! Blouses with big prints, skirts with small prints, tees with bold prints and dresses with wild prints have a special section in my closet, not kidding.

I'm sure you all have heard this one before, but what if I told you you could? Sadly, not with cake, but with your perfume! Want a fragrance that is soft, but also lasts long? You can! Want a fragrance that is strong, but doesn't overwhelm you and the people around you? You can! Want [...]
