Jeanne shared how she came up with her beautiful bath experiences, the timing it took, her distribution model and partnerships she has landed. Jeanne Macklin is the owner of Macklin Bath and Home, a luxurious home décor and personal care brand that believes that self-care should be an experience.

The brand now offers bath salts, silk robes, and beautifully scented candles, as well as a variety of bathroom accessories like bath pillows and extendable bath trays. Though Jeanne only founded the brand in October of 2019, it has earned raving reviews and publications quickly, as well as and a viral response on Instagram. In addition to the brand's features in the Cincinnati Herald and the Holiday Gift Guide for Blacklove.com, Jeanne herself has been featured as a panelist for an Intuit's Corporate Black History month.
