Whahahahahahha!!! 🕷There is just something about this time of year that turns my pink poppy little self into a master of the hocus pocus…madly mixing + concocting up the ✨perfect✨ potions…candle style of course!!!

Heyyyyyy Monday! Fall is in the air + we are rolli

Fill me up Buttercup! ✨ Y’all it’s no secret

Fill me up Buttercup! ✨ Y’all it’s no secret that sometimes us business owners make things harder on ourselves than we need to!🤦🏼‍♀️

Take for instant how you book our candle classes! Our process used to involve a lot of back and forth - you pick a date and time and then I would go and create a custom event for tickets for each class. Then you had to send it out to all your friends to purchase tickets before you even came to class. It was totally unnecessary the amount of backend work that was going on and I have said for MONTHS that I was going to change it.

So this morning after a little extra of coffee and a little help from @calendly - now our process is so much smoother! ✨

All you have to do is pick your date and pay a reservation fee that is applied to your candle purchase the day of your class!

That’s it! So simple right? I feel silly that it has taken me this long to update my process but hey, that’s part of being a business owner. We live + we learn!!

So hop on over to our calendar + book a sweet candle pouring class this season!! These pretty little babes are stocked in our candle bar along with 50+ other amazing containers that are just waiting for you to fill up with a super awesome custom scent if your own design!! 💖

Rainy days call for some custom scent mixing for my favorite nonprofit around @ja_easttn + their #missbusiness program that is designed to inspire + educate young women to succeed in business! 💖✨

I have been extra tired + tbh extra unkept the last couple of weeks while Jason and I worked on my champagne wall. Late night builds while we worked around juggling our babe made for some extra long days + nights (don’t get me started on how well…errrr not jax is sleeping these days 🙄🙄) But yall…it was all worth it because she is BEAUTIFUL! 💖💖 It always lights me up when I take an idea + make it come to life with my own two hands (with Jason’s help of course!!) Plus having my @glowforge to help me customize each piece for my clients is the icing on the cake!

Anyhooooo I am so excited to have her in my rental suite of signs + backdrops to help spread good times + champagne 🍾 of course all around ✨✨so next time you are throwing a party that needs a custom 100 piece champagne wall, we have you covered! Oh, did I mention that we designed her with the option to have different shelves in place of the champagne holders so that you can use her as a favor wall?! Yeah like I said, she is pretty awesome!!! 💖💖

Well y’all I am in the BALANCE phase of figuring

Well y’all I am in the BALANCE phase of figuring out this whole mom/entrepreuner thing. Note that doesn’t mean I have it figured out🤣

Last night as I planned out my week full of momming + work duties, I started going down a rabbit hole of feeling guilty for being away from the Pink Studio so much the last 7 months. She was created for community + connection after all!!

But then I started thinking about what those pink walls were truly built for.

When I left the corporate world after my dad died, I was searching for a way to create something that my community building dad would be proud of. My little pink studio helped me do that. When my family went through a hard transition with one of my loved ones, she was there for me surrounding me with creativity to help ease my pain. When I was dealing with infertility, there she was hosting friends showing me light + laughter during a dark time. When Covid hit + we all felt useless, she helped inspire me to create for our community. When one of my dearest friends passed away, she created a space to help me ease my anxiety with my craft. Then when I got pregnant, those pink walls full of workshops were there to help take my mind off of the discomfort that came along with my pregnancy!

And over the last almost 7 months, she has been there patiently waiting, sweetly providing me with inspiration when I needed it in between baby snuggles + the journey of new motherhood. And the more I have thought about it, the last 7 months were also part of why these little pink walls exist! There to give me the chance, whenever it happened, to be present for my little babe. Without worrying about clocking in + missing out on little moments. To be able to bring my little one along with me to work. To build something of my own, with my own rules + my own agenda. This was a big reason Jason + I took the leap into this crazy world of business ownership. And y’all. It has been amazing! (Cont. in comments!)

While I have been quieter on the candle front this

While I have been quieter on the candle front this summer, I have been having such a good time getting to know Glowria my new @glowforge !! I still have been crafting up quite the storm over here, with a baby on my hip 🤪 as I try to figure out my new normal. And y’all. One thing about me that you need to know is that I am happiest when I am creating for my community! Well that and snuggling with Jason and Jax 🥰

But in all seriousness, leading up to Jax’s arrival, I was so stressed to loose MY pink loving crafty identity once my babe came along. Lots of tears were shed and I wore Jason out with long talks of who I was going to be. Fast forward 6 months, I am still working out some of the kinks but I am having the best time finding an even more evolved version of myself and my craft!

Last week I got to be apart of adding some super special touches to the sweetest 40th birthday party @hunterhousegardens for @jonnyho2001 and @catherinebhogan. And getting to pour my creativity into seeing each stirring stick, gift tag, and custom sign that I designed and then made come to life, fueled that little spark inside me that has been a little distracted lately! (Note - I purposely left out the balloons that we did for the party from that inspiration bc well, if you know me then you know how I am feeling about balloons these days 🤣🤣🤣)

So stay tuned for more custom events like these as I add them to our roster of creativity at the Pink Studio! And don’t worry, our candle class start back strong in September!!!!

Ps. Fun fact. When I worked in the corporate world, everyone that I had to call at insurance companies thought my name was Gloria instead of Cory - so much so that I had a sheet where I kept a running tally of how many people called me Gloria instead of Cory 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ so It made since to name my Glowforge that when one of my friends threw that out!

Well you guys… my new toy is here and I.AM.PUMPE

Well you guys… my new toy is here and I.AM.PUMPED 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Life these days looks so different for my little family. Nights are longer + the days are shorter. My hair is always dirty, my schedule is non existent, my work/life balance is errrr, not balanced AT ALL 🤣 + I am typically wearing more milk than I should admit. Ps. I am loving it! 💙

After having Jaxon, Jason had planned on getting me a fancy new bauble for my push present that we were going to pick out together for my first Mother’s Day. But then Jason mentioned getting me a @glowforge - something I have had on my maker wish list for YEARS - and y’all, my crafter heart almost exploded! The more we talked about presents + what it would mean to me, the more I knew that shiny jewelry could wait for another day.

Amid the dirty diapers + 3 am snuggles, Jason and I are still hell bent on chasing our entrepreneurial dreams. And now that we have Jax, it’s even more important to us to show him how we work for the things that are important to us. That we are building a life designed by us. And that we are investing in that dream every day.

So this weekend Jason, Jax + I toasted to our sweet family + the newest addition to my creation station! ✨

And y’all…She is really really awesome 🤩 I can’t wait to show you all the things + ways that I am going to use her to bring awesomeness to our sweet + pink little community!! Think customization for our private label candles, leveling up our workshop game, creating new opportunities for marketing for my small business friends…Eeeeekkkk the list goes on + on and on + I have SO MANY THINGS up my sleeves that I can’t wait to bring to you all 🙌🏻🙌🏻 So stay tuned to see all this sweet little machine can do paired with my imagination 💖💖

Ps. I need to name her so help a girl out! She is a 3D laser printer who can do just about anything we can dream up so drop your ideas below 👇🏻

🤩 Slowly but surely y’all…I am putting my craft apron back on + dipping my toes back into work + workshops! And it is making this crafters heart so happy!!

I’ll be honest. I had this idea that I would pop out baby Jax + be back at work in a month - adorable baby on hip, hair teased, + bright lipstick on 🤣🤣 And well, I tried but after some strict words from my doctor + some seriously painful days - it took me longer than I had planned to feel up for my pink studio shenanigans! Tbh there have even been moments that have brought me to my knees + created thoughts of not coming back to work from maternity leave. 🤦🏼‍♀️ That’s a story for another day…

But over my little hiatus from community events + workshops I have been so intensely reminded of how important this community is to me! How much I crave the connection of you all walking through life along side me. The good, the bad, the fun, the hard! 👯‍♀️ This weekend as I taught a class - glass of wine in hand 🙌🏻, + our pink walls filled with laughter + stories from friends new + old - that passion + inspiration once again bubbled over in my soul. ✨

While I know things will be forever different when it comes to the balance of my work/personal life, it is something that I know I HAVE to have in my life! That the energy + feelings that the pink studio brings to the craft table is something that is NEEDED, not just for me but for everyone that walks through her pretty little doors!

So stay tuned as I try to figure out how to juggle the whole baby raising/community connecting/business building thing! I have a feeling it’s going to be a fun little adventure for me + Jax!! Oh + feel free to send any advice on how to do it my way!!! This new momma needs it!! 💕💕

Jaxon Page Rindskopf 💙 You have certainly stoll

Jaxon Page Rindskopf 💙 You have certainly stollen our hearts over the last 3 weeks + your little blue boy self deserves a permanent spot on my pink feed!

I have spent a lot of time lately thinking about time + life while I sit here + look at his perfect little features. It is not lost on me that two years ago this week I was closing the studio up for “4 weeks” and that our world was about to change. Then this week last year, I shared with you all that Jason and I had started our fertility journey that was a long time coming and that I could see light at the end of the tunnel! And now this year, on the week that you were due, I am sitting here - tired as all get out + loving it - looking at that little light that is YOU sweet Jax! ✨

Life has thrown curve balls at all of us over the last two years. We have all had moments of defeat, of hardship, of not knowing what the future holds. I know that personally for Jason + Me, the last 750 days has held a lot of stress that revolved around both of us being small business owners, trying to get pregnant, then actually being pregnant. And it can be easy to let yourself get wrapped up in all the non Instagramable moments + messy stuff that comes with life.

But then I am reminded of the preciousness of time and how important it is to take a beat + find your perspective. For me, the past two years has been a constant reminder there is always inspiration + happiness to be found if you are looking for it. Even in the hard moments!

So today as I am covered in spit up, wearing two day old clothes + rocking tired eyes, I am saying a little prayer that Jason + I pass along our ability to find the positive to our little guy. And I am going to be drinking in all the Jax snuggles + celebrating all the ways that life is pretty darn sweet 💙

Ps. Loving the sneak peak of his newborn shoot @laurenselbyphotography ✨
