Nature, our greatest teacher ✨​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I started making candles for myself at a particularly difficult time in my life, when I was struggling with burnout and exhaustion. I discovered the power of essential oils and the therapeutic benefits of making candles and creativity. I made the first range with the hope that it might help other people struggling with their emotional wellbeing too.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I made a conscious decision from the start to invest in sustainable, cruelty-free and wildcrafted ingredients 🌱because, despite often costing a lot more, they have been proven to be far more potent and effective (not to mention more environmentally friendly) than their mass-produced or synthetic equivalents. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Like me, you fell in love with essential oils, candle-making, setting intentions and nature. ​​​​​​​​ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ It’s been a wild ride but we love seeing your candle creations, hearing how the oils are helping you, wherever it’s soothing, grounding or uplifting.😍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Thank you for for allowing us to grow and offer a sustainable natural alternative to the world of mass produced synthetic products ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ It’s World Earth Day 🌎 today. We are reflecting on how far we have come and how much more there is yet to do.❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ You can find us stocked in some of the UKs best independent stores. I feel very lucky to be where we are today. ​​​​​​​​ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ We have so many exciting plans this year. I can’t wait to share them with you. ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #mystory #meetthemaker #yougi #sustainability #cleanfragrance #candlesofinstagram #worldearthday
