Last night I had the privilege of joining the awesome crew over at Bellevue Square Pottery Barn for an evening of candle making, team building, charity & delicious refreshments. It was my first candle making class ever, so I might have been a little bit nervous. But right away, I could sense that everyone was…
Is she going to talk about her personal self confidence? Maybe. Or is she referring to free promotional material. Yes, that too. I was really honored to be part of a few custom corporate projects this fall. One of them was to develop a signature scent for a local line of boutiques. I worked directly…
Hello hello! If you live in the greater Seattle area, you are IN AWE of how gorgeous it is these days. It’s sunny. The skies are blue. Down jackets are not needed for most of the day. And the colors on the trees are ridiculous. Enjoy it, breathe it, take it all in. And then…
Many essential oils tend to run on the cool side of the scent spectrum (think peppermint, eucalyptus, lavender, tea tree) and we love that. For fall, however, we are all about the cozy, soft & warm! It’s like that “hygge” movement that is everywhere. Which I totally get, but still don’t know how to pronounce.…
Maybe it’s because schools around here didn’t get out for summer til the very end of June, but I felt like autumn & back to school showed up to the party at an inconsiderately early hour. Come on, the sink is full of dirty dishes & I’m still wearing yoga pants. So hide your scarecrow…
Don’t even worry about the title, you’ll learn to love it. VS. Did you know that I’m carrying 2 lines of candles now? There’s my Signature Collection & then my Pure Collection. Love them both. What’s the difference? Well, it boils down to how the candles are scented. This is a totally unsubstantiated figure…
True story below. Some times I make plans & stick with them. Then other times, it doesn’t quite work out that way. You too? August ended up being a great month down at the market (thank you!!) and I had to strongly consider staying. But once I saw this art installation in the blogosphere, I…
Having a my own spot down at one of the most iconic places in the Pacific Northwest has been one of the most exciting experiences ever. But this month, August, will be my last one at the market. At least for a bit. It's time to focus on fall shows, working on my wholesale line…
You guys, thanks so much for coming out yesterday! I am always grateful & honestly a little bit surprised by the overwhelming support from you all. I truly couldn't ask for more. I was kind of holding my breath about the Pure Essential line but I'm so glad y'all liked it! Bergamot & Tangerine was…
This is what I was waiting to share with you all! It’s the beginning of my new Pure Essential Line, made only with vegan wax, cotton wicks & 100% essential oils – blended by hand by me. This new line includes: Lavender & Litsea Grapefruit & Lime Rosemary & Eucalyptus Bergamot & Tangerine Why is…
What we're talking about here is the elevation of ideas when mutual inspiration is involved. Ideally, it will include the words, "Alright, stop. Collaborate & listen." (If you're lucky. Or working with me. Or both.) In this case, those exact words may not have been used, but there was true inspiration involved! I am so…
Hello! We’ve expanded the travel tin line to include the popular Grapefruit & Sangria scents, in addition to our already-favorite Northwest. The size is not too big, not too small & the brushed gold is just right. They also pair well for the perfect gift! How about these ideas? The Grapefruit candle nestled into a…
