A spring favourite.

Our BC Mountain Rain candle captures that first deep breath after a coastal downpour — crisp pine, soft florals, and a hint of mist rolling through the trees. It’s grounding, calming, and just a little wild… like the West Coast itself.

Light it when you need a reset.

Breathe in the beauty of Canada

Our Scents of Canada Incense is inspired by the places we love most — from crisp mountain air to cozy campfires and sweet maple moments.

Light a stick, slow down, and let the scent take you somewhere familiar 🇨🇦

Available online and select stores across Canada. Retail partners can reach out to add our incense to your next wholesale order.

10 years ago I started this little biz by making novelty soaps and trading them online. A few weeks later, I had my first wholesale client, a novelty shop on Queen West.

In 2017 the Canada Collection was launched.

2018 brought coast to coast exposure with a pop up in CF malls across Canada for mother's day.

2019 my very first OOAK. (Missing spring this year but will be visiting my friends there tn)

2020 - 2022 while the world changed in so many ways, candles kept me sane and brought me peace and security.

2023 - 2025 was a lot of refining, learning, growing. Some of that growing was right sizing (shrinking) in a way that made sense for me. Lesson: don't be afraid to say no and do things that are right for you/bring peace.

2026: celebrating 10 years of candles and home fragrances. All thanks to you!

I feel blessed for all the connections made along the way. This little candle biz has changed my life in all the right ways.

🎉🎉To celebrate I am offering 40% off all candles and home fragrances today through sunday. Online only. Link in bio.
