Our Story

RVL Wellness Co is a small Black woman-owned self-care company located in Charlotte, NC. RVL (pronounced “revel”) was founded to provide Black women a unique self-care experience through dedicated quiet time and moving meditation. Our Founder, Brittny Horne, understood the pressure put on Black women by society to be booked and busy without prioritizing their wellness. So she created RVL as a way to help her community  relax, reset and enjoy a peaceful moment.

Our mission is to help improve the overall well-being of women everywhere by offering an alternative method of self-care. We are intentional about the artwork we select, and feature pieces created by Black women that reflect our beauty, our values, and our dreams. 

So take a deep breath, allow yourself to unwind, and enjoy a revel wellness moment.

 

A note from our Founder

 

Hey Sis! My name is Brittny and from the moment I started RVL, I had just one goal in mind: help other Black women find alternative ways to find joy and practice self-care.  

In 2020, I experienced a level of stress and anxiety that made me feel like I was being hit by a bus. As a result of a career shift, my mental and emotional health was taking a hit and I suddenly found myself doing more surviving than thriving.  

After almost a year of focusing on nothing but work, I was ready to make a conscious decision to finally begin seeking ways to bring peace and happiness back into my life. My therapist encouraged me to tap into my inner child and remember the simple things that used to bring me joy. 

As I turned to my childhood for inspiration I instantly found happiness in memories of puzzling with my grandmother. I remembered how calming it was to sort through all the pieces and how proud I felt when it was all put together.  Desperate to reduce my stress levels, puzzling became my new place of peace.

However, there was one problem: I struggled to find puzzles that had images of people who looked like me.

So, I created RVL to encourage other Black women to try puzzling as a form of self-care, while also providing the representation that the puzzle industry is missing. While highlighting artwork created by Black women, capturing the beauty of our Black culture, and prioritizing mental wellness, RVL helps you secure your peace with every puzzle piece.

My hope is that you’ll use this modern take on an old classic to find and maintain your peaceful moments. You deserve it.

xoxo,

Brittny
