Meant to Bee Pampered's Vision and Mission
We are honored that you would like to learn more about Meant to Bee Pampered and the beautiful journey that is the culmination of over 30 years in business that has brought us here today.
Our mission is and has always been simple; to craft the most memorable, relaxing, and soul-enriching gifts available anywhere in the world and promote the acceptance of self-care. We champion the idea of self-care as a vital part of living because when you pamper yourself first, the best parts of you will always shine through in all that you do!
When you receive a gift from Meant to Bee Pampered, prepare to have all of your senses emersed in a unique presentation that comes from the heart and soul of its creator. You can be sure every gift will have the character and beauty that has been forged from the life experiences of the artist herself!
Enter Eva Broussard: Owner, Artist, Life Long Innovator
Meant to Bee Pampered is the creation of Eva Broussard, a life-long creative from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. From a young age, Eva enjoyed and excelled in artistic pursuits, but unlike most other artists, would not realize the full scope of her talents until much later when the serendipity of life presented the opportunity to her.
When the magic happened…
In 1989, while Eva was attending Southern University, her eldest daughter (who was in 3rd grade at the time) asked for ideas on how she should honor her teachers for Teacher’s Appreciation Day at school. At the time, Eva was a full-time student working hard to start a career, but did not have a job and money was tight. While most people would shrug off the idea of giving anything meaningful given the circumstances, Eva decided to think outside-the-box and create unique gift baskets for her daughter’s teachers.
After many hours of design and creative development, Eva recounts wanting to keep the baskets for herself since they were some of the finest work she’d ever created up to that point! Before now, she didn’t realize the scope of her artistic ability, and it was hard to let go of something so marvelous. Alas, she allowed her daughter to take them to school, and distribute them to her teachers. For Eva and her daughter, it was a very enjoyable experience to give that much of their hearts to others who were deserving of a special gift.
What happened next…
Once Eva’s daughter delivered the gift baskets to her teachers, they were an instantaneous hit! Teachers, school admins, and their friends were ringing Eva’s phone off the hook for the days, weeks, and months going forward to order more of these unique gift baskets!
As time pressed forward, and Eva’s talent began to develop even more, she was able to create an entire line of beautiful self-care and pampering products. These include gift baskets for special occasions, memorable hand-made wreaths, unique hand-made jeweled candles, decadent bath truffles, and much more.
Turning nothing into everything!
Besides being the owner of Meant to Bee Pampered, Eva earned her bachelor’s degree in Communications from Southern University, she is also a trained electrician, and possesses her CDL. She was also instrumental in teaching her daughters how to become successful later in life and opened a snowball stand in Baton Rouge to teach the fundamentals of business ownership.
Through a resilience to succeed in life at any cost, for her and her daughters, Eva is also keen on giving back to others in great need as she once was. She regularly donates to shelters for women escaping domestic violence and has started a program with Meant To Bee Pampered to assist mothers with special needs children who are most deserving of the gift of self-care.
Once a month, Meant to Bee Pampered will read letters written by or submitted from families of mothers who could truly use some pampering and a gift basket will be awarded especially for that deserving someone!
What will the Future bring…
Meant to Bee Pampered’s journey began from one kind gesture of appreciation for someone else, and we intend to continue in much the same stride. We strive to end the false stigma that self-care is in some way selfish and continue the mission of helping others show love to themselves and give more to the people that matter most in their lives.
Vending machines that will bring our brand of products to new venues are coming soon and we will continue developing our online presence to expose our brand to as many people as possible. A line of specialty hand-made products related to golf are also being considered for the future.
We will also be set up at local Southern US festivals and craft shows so our work can be experienced up close and personal.
