Gloss & Blossoms (with Love Balungi & Rooting For You)

We know you’re scrambling to show the mother figure(s) in your life that you deserve to be the favorite. Luckily we’ve got you covered! Keep reading and sign up ASAP to keep that fave status.

Let’s face it (pun intended) beauty is personal and the story behind Love Balungi is a heart-stirring example of just that. When founder Catherine Waiswa lost her mother in 2019, she found comfort in rituals that once felt so simple: watching her mom apply lip gloss or smooth body butter onto her skin. Those memories sparked the beginning of Love Balungi, a beauty brand born at a dining room table and inspired by a woman whose strength and love knew no bounds.

Today, Love Balungi offers more than glossy lips and glowing skin. It's a tribute to resilience, a celebration of self-love, and a heartfelt homage to a mother's nurturing legacy. With every small-batch formula (think rejuvenating lip scrubs, hydrating lip glosses, and more…all vegan and cruelty-free!) this brand invites you to slow down, care deeply, and reflect beauty from the inside out. Supporting Love Balungi means choosing products that feel personal and purposeful.

This Mother’s Day weekend, Love Balungi is bringing the celebration  of beauty to life with Gloss & Blossoms, a feel-good, hands-on workshop happening Saturday, May 10th at Rooting For You in Cambridge, MA.
