I’ve got something brewing in the kitchen! 🤫 But before I can move forward, I need your help clearing the shelves. ALL candles are 30% off!
Every single candle — every cozy scent, every small‑batch pour, every upcycled vessel I’ve collected — is officially on sale while I reset for the next round of chaos.
If you’ve been waiting to snag a favorite or try something new, now’s the moment. Help me clear the shelves so I can unleash whatever’s brewing next.

The first ingredient in my all‑natural massage oil candles is cold‑infused grapeseed oil, which I originally made to help soothe my partner’s eczema. Traditional lotions gave him quick relief, but the alcohol in them made his skin flare.

Chamomile, calendula, and arnica are packed with skin‑calming, anti‑inflammatory elements, so I let them infuse slowly over several weeks. Cold infusion protects the natural compounds that heat can destroy, resulting in a silky oil with a soft floral scent. It takes time, but the skin loves it!

Over the next few weeks, I’m taking y’all on a deep dive into how I make my all‑natural massage oil candles. We’ll chat about how I select the ingredients and scents. If you love natural skincare, cozy rituals, and a little witchy nostalgia, you’re going to enjoy this series.

Over the next few weeks, I’m taking y’all on a deep dive into how I make my all‑natural massage oil candles. We’ll chat about how I select the ingredients and scents. 

I’ve always been obsessed with herbalism and creating my own “potions.” I was that kid on the playground grinding up leaves, flowers, and berries just to see what they could become. Now I blend that same curiosity with my candle craft, turning natural wisdom into unique, skin‑loving products. If you love natural skincare, cozy rituals, and a little witchy nostalgia, you’re going to enjoy this series.

Happy Pride!!! To me, Pride Month is a light in the dark as defiance and community come together to shout, "We're here, we're q***r, and we're not going anywhere!"

🐦🦋 Got this on my last thrift run & I know it'll make a beautiful candle with the flame glowing through the purple glass! But what scent fits it's vibe? 🤔

Violet?
Lilac?
Lavender?

What do y'all think?

This Olympic National Park mug was thrift gold! Inside there's a topographical map that will be revealed as the cedar forest scent fills your home. 🗺️🧭🕯️

Cedar is a grounding and nostalgic scent for me, reminding me to stay rooted as I grow. 💚

The candle studio (aka my tiny kitchen) has been an absolute riot lately — wax drips and scent tests everywhere with me hovering over each batch like a proud little candle gremlin. 🕯️😄 But the chaos paid off, because the newest designs and scents are officially LIVE in the shop!

Here’s what just dropped:
• Classic & Vintage Design Massage Oil Candles with skin-loving blends perfect for winding down
• Cat Café–themed candles in Jasmine Green Tea and Vanilla Latte
• Summer scents like Seabreeze and Mint Lemonade

All hand-poured in upcycled containers. All natural. All made with love (and a healthy dose of chaos). I can’t wait to see which one you light first!

I'm ready for the April showers (and freeze warnings after 80° days) to bring May flowers! In the meantime I've stocked the candle shop with fresh and floral scents. I was gifted a bunch of colored glass that shines beautifully with the flame lit.

Whoever told me to replace the water in a brownie mix with cold coffee, thank you! 🙏 It brings out different notes of chocolate and tastes more intense. 🍫
