September - Candle of the Month
Restless - Camphor | Marine | Amber Once upon a time I was contacted by a guitarist from a band named Them Vibes named Alex. Alex was about to release his own LP and wanted his music to evoke every single sense as his fans listened. To achieve that, his team was putting together a gift set with an item that represented each scent. This set would be available as a limited edition and only available for a very small about of preorders. I sent Alex a few sample scents and he

A few months back I received an order from my candle supplier, and on one of the items had this incredible scent spilt on it. I immediately needed to know what scent it was, so I smelt it, had others smell it and tried my hardest to determine the scent notes.

June - Candle of the Month
Desert Flower - Agave | Aloe | Patchouli One month after my Mother-in-law passed, my husband and I took a trip to Joshua Tree to celebrate her memory. That trip I took two scents with me to give one final burn test, and to decide which would be named in her memory. Once Forget me Not was decided to be in her honor, Desert Flower naturally was named. Perfectly indicative of our beautiful desert surroundings and the serendipitous scent notes. It was simply meant to be.

Why our Christmas Tree is Naked
If you’ve visited the shop, you’ve probably noticed our tree doesn’t have any decorations. No ornaments. No ribbons. No fluff. And that’s on purpose. Back in 2017, we started keeping our Christ | mas tree simple as a quiet reminder that the message of Christ | mas itself is simple, too. In the middle of all the shopping, wrapping, planning, and busyness… Jesus is the reason we celebrate. Nothing added. Nothing extra. Just Him. So our undecorated tree stands as a little breath

Knowing When to Pivot, Pause, or Persevere
Running a business as a woman of faith is not just about strategy—it’s about discernment. It’s about listening to the whisper of the Holy Spirit in the middle of the spreadsheet, the slow sales season, or the unexpected growth spurt. And let’s be honest: sometimes it’s hard to know what season we’re in. Are we supposed to keep pushing forward? Do we need to step back and rest? Or is God nudging us in a brand-new direction? Let’s talk about how to recognize when to pivot , p
