Just a little feature of my current favourite scent ✨

I've been deep into my clean girl era lately, and my City of Starlight candle matches perfectly. Vibrant lemon verbena is a great boost in energy after cleaning and the calming scent of sea salt and driftwood inspire my summer feelings.

I've been burning City of Starlight while I read to fully immerse myself in the world. My signature blend has a crisp balance of lemon verbena, sea salt, and driftwood that will lift you into the pages of the book.

Currently reading & currently burning ✨

I've been visiting Velaris in book and candle form this week! If you're anything like me, you return to your cosy mood read whenever you need a boost, so I've been revisiting A Court of Mist and Fury.

Happy World Book Day! 📚

Books are the main inspiration for my candles, so today may as well be a national holiday to me! I craft each candle with a book in mind, and I write every story attached to help you feel immersed.

Why not give one a try during your next reading session?

Hi friends!

I did a little inventory of my bookshelf, and was completely shocked (not really) to find a healthy number of books that I've had on my shelf for a while. Please note, these are only some 😬

Hi friends! 👋 Happy Friday!

The sun is shining, I'm wearing my pink wig, and I'm feeling GOOD! No, seriously, I feel amazing! This is a bit of a different post compared to my normal business content, but I felt drawn to sharing some 2025 goals.
