“Rele m ‘Bèl is a Black woman-owned, handmade, luxury, self-care, reiki-infused lifestyle brand. It is 100% natural and sustainable. Self-care is a priority, especially when discussing mental health. This brand was created in support of woman empowerment and overall self-love plus as the creator (a friend of mine) always said- “You’re already beautiful here’s a little reminder!”
