About Us

A journey that began with a miracle—and the choice to live with intention.

For eight long years, my husband and I waited and hoped for a child. When I finally became pregnant, it felt like nothing short of a miracle.

When our daughter, Mallisha, came into our lives, my perspective shifted entirely. Suddenly, I became deeply conscious of what we ate, what touched our skin, and what entered our home. I wanted to understand the choices I was making—not simply buy products because they were familiar or well-marketed.

I remember researching something as simple as a lipstick and asking questions I had never considered before: What are these ingredients? How do I know if they are safe? What do these certifications actually mean, and who verifies them?

One question led to another, opening the door to a much larger transformation.

From Curiosity to Conscious Living

As I dug deeper, I realized how difficult it can be to navigate the world of consumer products. Like many people, I spent years buying everyday items without fully understanding what was in them or how to separate meaningful standards from clever marketing tricks.

That desire to protect my family became even more personal after losing my mother to cancer. That profound loss left me with a deep appreciation for the preciousness of life and health. It reinforced my belief that most people simply want to make the best decisions they can with the information they have—they just need a clear, reliable path forward.

I realized you don’t have to overhaul your entire life overnight. Real change happens one intentional choice at a time.

I started with my cosmetics. Then, I began replacing plastic kitchenware with glass, one piece at a time. I became thoughtful about our cookware, bedsheets, towels, and daily essentials.

I learned to look beyond pretty packaging and brand names. I learned to read labels, audit supply chains, look for credible third-party certifications, and ask the tough questions.

The result? Shopping became simpler, calmer, and far more rewarding. Instead of filling my cart with uncertain items, I bought only what truly served our home.

Why BY MALLISHA?

The Bona Fide Living by Mallisha was born directly out of this personal shift.

Mallisha is my daughter—the little girl whose arrival transformed the way I see the world. Her name represents hope, love, and the start of a purpose-driven chapter.

I built this platform because I experienced firsthand how overwhelming, time-consuming, and exhausting it is to research every single product for your home. You shouldn't have to spend hours decoding ingredient lists or second-guessing certifications.

I did the research so you don’t have to.

Every product in our collection is thoughtfully vetted, rigorously researched, and chosen with the exact same standard I hold for my own family. If I wouldn't confidently bring it into my home or use it around my daughter, it doesn't make it to our shelves.
