I’m so so so excited to be a part of this year’s Urban Craft Uprising Summer Show! Please mark your calendars for June 30 & July 1. And if you happen to be a boutique or store, please come July 2 for the wholesale only event. As usual, it will be held at the Seattle…
For a first time show, things really turned out rather awesomely. Kudos to Kristen & Lindsay of Urban Craft Uprising for being fantastic organizers. They even remembered to bring the sunshine! As a maker, one of my favorite things is watching your expressions as you sniff down the line of scents. Raised eyebrows, slowly increasing…
Hey everyone! I’ll be at the Edmonds Spring Fest this Saturday from 11am-6pm put on by the one & only, Urban Craft Uprising. It’s the first one they’ve put on like this in beautiful downtown Edmonds. Come & say hello! The top 3 foods I will be eating at Spring Fest: The Tamale Guy Island…
Amazing store alert! Have you been to Oblation Papers & Press in Portland’s Pearl District? They have the cutest finds. Beautiful handmade paper, thoughtful letterpress stationery & journals… and my personal weakness, cool pens! They have also started carrying Lulumière candles. I can’t wait to see them in the wild there!
Help me by being a perfumist! In an ongoing quest to only keep the best of the best candle scents in my current offerings, I will edit formulas now and then. This one is on the block: Lavender & Litsea. While I like it, I don’t loooove it anymore. And based on sales, while there…

Oh hey there! Let’s talk shop. Sometimes it’s the coolest thing being a one person team. Decision making is efficient, schedule is flexible as can be & no one gives me side eye for wearing the same black shirt & black yoga pants two days in a row. But it can be so, so tough…
I’ve been wanting to include a floral into the 100% essential oil line for some time now. Rose had to be it. The challenge came in trying to pair & enhance its sweet, subtle, complex notes. Should I complement it with another flower like ylang ylang or geranium? How would it work with something spicy…
Wow, it’s January! 2017 was a lot. Beautiful, gross, breathtaking, embarrassing, surprising, productive, disappointing, encouraging, magical. Not sure if you can relate. Mostly the good things, but some of that other stuff too. While I’m not particularly into making resolutions based on the calendar, I am totally into the idea of a fresh start &…
That’s pretty much it for this year! I could probably sum up 2017 with that one emoji that has a stupid happy grin and a drop of sweat on the forehead, but nah. Let’s recap. While there were some low points this year, they were overshadowed by all of the surprises that turned out to…
