From the Kitchen to the Crown: Mayola's Flowers Makes Its National Debut in Miss New York 2026

NEW YORK - Rezul -- New York, NY - - Mayola's Flowers, a Maryland-based, woman-owned all-natural body care and skincare brand founded by Alison Ballard, was featured as an Official Gift Bag Sponsor for the 2026 Miss New York and Miss New York Teen Competition. The 2026 Miss New York Competition, a state preliminary to the Miss America Organization (MAO), was held on Saturday, June 27, 2026.

Founded over a decade ago, Mayola's Flowers began as a personal practice: handmade body butters and herbal teas crafted in Alison Ballard's kitchen and given to loved ones during the holidays. That foundation of care and craftsmanship remains central to the brand today.

Two of the brand's handcrafted body butters were selected for gift bags curated by outgoing titleholder Miss New York 2025 Lauren Norris, marking Mayola's Flowers' first appearance on a national beauty platform. For a brand rooted in the tradition of gifting, the path to that stage reflected its very beginnings: a jar shared among family members, whose appreciation for the product ultimately led to this opportunity.

About The Name: Mayola's Flowers

The name Mayola's Flowers holds deep personal meaning for founder Alison Ballard, who named the brand in honor of her late grandmother. Although Ballard never had the chance to meet her, she created the brand to preserve her grandmother's legacy and keep her memory alive.

"I named my business after my grandmother whom I never met. She passed away before I was born. When I did hear stories about her, they were filled with so much love. I named Mayola's Flowers after her to keep her name alive, to be spoken, since that is something, I did not hear enough as a child," stated Alison Ballard, Founder of Mayola's Flowers.

On June 27, 2026, Mayola's Flowers reached a broader audience through its official gift bag sponsorship of the 2026 Miss New York Competition.
