🎄🎁🎅🏼 Shewwww Y’all! I don’t think

🎄🎁🎅🏼

Shewwww Y’all! I don’t think I have felt more like the oxiclean infomercial guy in my life than I have over the last week as we “celebrated” black friday, small business saturday, and cyber monday! SALE! SALE! SALE! 📣📣📣

Selling DOES NOT come naturally to me. Sharing my talents, teaching, + being creative. Those are my jam - but when it comes to actually making sales….I hate it. I tell Jason all the time that my dream job would be a craft philanthropist, where I just got to create for others all the time - with no price tag attached! But then the hubs/biz manager reminds me that isn’t how it works when you have a brick + motor with lots of bills associated with it. 🤦🏼‍♀️

So I put my biz hat on + put myself out there even though it makes me super uncomfortable + I can’t tell you all how much it means to me to have this community that supports me! 💕To have people gift our products that are hand crafted with a whole lot of attention + care, to have people advocate for me + share my posts so that others can learn about us, + to have you all bring our products into your own homes to help create an oh so cozy ambiance! Oh + to gather around our craft table, crafting + creating memories!

I am feeling very grateful today that you all let me + my lil business be apart of your lives! So today as I throw on the ol craft apron + create all the goodies that were sold this weekend to help you celebrate the holidays, my heart feels like it has grown 3 sizes (my feet too…but i am pretty sure that is a pregnancy thing 😂 !) From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much + I can’t wait to send all these AMAZING smelling gifts out the door to help make someone else day just as bright as you all have made mine! ✨

PS. in true Billy Mays fashion: while our sale may be over, we are still taking orders over on our website till the 8th for shipping + the 15th for local pickup! All purchases are made to order so you know that your candle is hand poured just for you! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🎄

Whoooooohoooo! Cyber Monday is HERE! I like to thi

Whoooooohoooo! Cyber Monday is HERE! I like to think I train all year for this day (don’t tell Jason!🤣) Usually I’m too overwhelmed with web development stuff to have a cyber Monday sale but not this year!! This year we want you to hop on over to our sweet + pink website + snag the cutest Holiday Gift Sets at 20% off today ONLY! 🙋🏼‍♀️

And guess what? Our little Elf’s are going to wrap them in the cutest wrapping paper so all you have to do is gift them to your favorite teachers, co workers, hard to buy for in-laws, + friends! Did we mention that today we are doing it FOR FREE?! 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️

No? Well we are! And our Elf’s are pumped + ready to wrap!

Ok y’all know by now that when I say elf’s - it’s really me and Natasha! 😆But since this time of year, the studio feels (and smells!) like Santa’s workshop, I am fully committed to the elf routine!

So what are you waiting for? Grab a gift set today with code cybermonday20 + get ready to be the best smelling gifter there ever was! ✨✨

Ps. This code is valid on our Holiday Gift Sets but does exclude our Nice List set bc that one is already such a darn good deal! ⭐️

Ok friends…Ready. Set. Shop!!!

Last Thanksgiving, I was inspired by my friend @tb

Last Thanksgiving, I was inspired by my friend @tbhutto93 to look back at all the wonderfulness that had happened throughout a really tough year. And y’all! It has been one of my most favorite posts to revisit + reflect on. ✨2021 has been full of its own errr…unique challenges for me + I will be honest, I have had moments this year that have seemed harder than I would like to admit! This year has blazed by in a blurr + it feels like some of the tougher moments tend to stick out in my mind more than they should. So on this day of thanks, I sat down + scrolled through my photos to think back on just how much amazingness each month has held - making this year so special! 💕And you guys! I was in awe of just how much I had let be pushed to the back burner about this year! This little annual exercise is quickly becoming a favorite of mine - it fills my soul with gratitude + inspiration + I highly recommend it! Take a peak at some of my highlights below! ✨

January - took our annual break from the holiday hustle + bustle as we spent 2 weeks in our favorite spot up north. SURPRISE - my family drove 13 hours to celebrate my mom + my birthdays! Snow tubing, icy vineyard hopping, igloo parties, + 5 course meals in safari tents when it was snowing + 5 degrees out! 🥶

February- got back to work with balloon installs for some of my favorite businesses around town, sold goodies at a few valentines pop ups + hosted the most adorable Galentines Day workshops full of flower crowns, girlfriends + candles! Started having lots of discovery dr apts to get us started with our new fertility drs!

March - launched our private white label candle line for small businesses! Celebrated the upcoming arrival of spring with a couple of pop ups. Photo shoot mania at the studio for our cute candle bar with @laurenselbyphotography. Lots of emotions from having tons of dr apts - getting my vaccine + Officially starting fertility treatments + loosing our amazing pup, Riley all in the same week. 😭Spent a week in Knoxville babysitting Cruz with my mom! Helped rock out my besties @yogaondavidson 5th anniversary!

Y’all! It’s a big week around here for our lit

Y’all! It’s a big week around here for our little pink candle bar! Why? 🤩

Well I’m glad you asked!! Because this is the week that we launch our holiday gift boxes! 🎄You know the ones that are full of magic and delicious smells?!

Yep!

Every year we create gift boxes at different price points to help make your holiday gifting a little bit easier! From teacher gifts, presents for co-workers, white elephant gifts people actually want, to a little something for yourself maybe?! 🙋🏼‍♀️ seriously y’all, I love getting to curate these little boxes of holiday magic each year!

And every year I get a little better at them! I mean that’s what growing in your business is all about right?! Aka I have learned that I DON’T need to hand make + stamp our wrapping paper for each box (woof! That was a year I’ll never forget), and I have finally figured out our website for online ordering + shipping. 🤩

So this week if you need me, you can find me with a little extra jingle in my jangle, listening to LRT’s Spotify Christmas playlist + wearing all the hats that go into a product launch! Photographer, marketing director, content creator, IT + website developer, and most importantly, Clean Candle Maker! 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️

Stay tuned for our launch THIS FRIDAY because these babes are going to go fast! And make sure you are signed up for our newsletter because we have a little something special up our sleeves that will be going out to all of our sweet subscribers 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Happy Monday darling friends!

I haven’t talked much about community on here la

I haven’t talked much about community on here lately + shame on me for that!

But full transparency - up until 5 weeks ago, I wasn’t feeling much in the community spirit way! Me - the gal that built her business on community driven events! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Life had me feeling withdrawn from not only my friends + business, but from this beautiful little community! And it wasn’t just being preggers. It was trying to juggle how I felt about going into yet another Holiday season where our small biz backs were going to be against a wall competing (+ losing) against major corps for products/supplies/biz. It was thinking about how social media was going to mess with my mind + make my business feel less worthy than others that are seeming to be so successful. Add those in with not feeling my like my sparkly little self + I was finding myself pulling away from all the things that I usually find so much joy + fulfillment in.

Then I realized something. Part of of what makes being in a community so special is that you surround yourself with others that have ideas, opinions, knowledge + best of all inspiration! By nature, when you are apart of a community, you are exposed to those things + have this wonderful thing called support during the hard times that come your way + obstacles that you face.

But here is the thing, it’s hard to be apart of a community when you withdraw yourself from others. When you don’t find ways to connect with your people. And the last couple weeks have been a great reminder of that for me.

That we need to put effort into making sure that our community, whatever that looks like, is a priority!

So here is your friendly Friday reminder from one human being to another, that we ALL face hard times, moments of self doubt, +desperation (yes even those that seem to have it all together!) + we all need that beautiful connection to our community! For me, reconnecting with my friends for coffee dates + being back in the swing of our workshops have given me that shiny little glimpse of light that others bring into our lives! 🌟

What about you? How can you connect to your sweet little community this week? Tell me!! 👇🏻

Meet me at the bar 🤩🤩 Pshhh y’all know I

Ok y’all! Fall means that all the good smells ar

Ok y’all! Fall means that all the good smells are around here! The pink studio legit smells like a magical fall wonderland when you walk by…like Kilwins but for candles! mmmmmmmmmmmm Yum! 🌟

You guys know how much I love to share all the wonderful things that I just can’t get enough of on here. But today I thought I would turn the tables + tell you the one fall scent that I am not totally bonkers about. In fact, I struggle SO HARD to even keep in the studio for those of you that love it to pour… (but I do because I love y’all but you better believe that 9 times out of 10 I am going to talk you into pouring something better!)

Any guesses?!?!

VANILLA. Oh my goodness you guys. If there is one things that turns my stomach + makes my eyes go all slitty, its that artificial smell of vanilla. Maybe it’s bc of my preteen years in the 90s when EVERYTHING was vanilla scented 🤷🏼‍♀️ lipgloss, body spray, candles, anything scratch + sniff….you guys know exactly what I am talking about right? Anyways…fake vanilla is a total vom.com for me. 🤣🤣

Ok ok, I know that this is NOT always a popular opinion + maybe I am going to spark a little controversy here but vanillin (the name for artificial vanilla bc let’s be honest, real vanilla is extremely hard to come by!) it is just so sickening sweet to me that I promptly hop on the struggle bus when someone tells me that they want a straight vanilla candle. 🤢

Because here is the rub IMO- there are a million other creamy + sweet fragrance that are more complex + delicious that give you that warm, cozy + sugared vibe without that artificial 90’s vibe.

Now it’s your turn! What’s a smell that others love that you can’t stand!! Tell me below!

Ps. I promise I won’t judge TOO hard if you are one of my friends that loves that vanilla scent! 🤣🤣

If you watched my instagram stories last week, the

If you watched my instagram stories last week, then you know that last Friday I did my “last” balloon install. With a growing belly, an arthritic finger from tying too many balloons, + waning energy….oh + issues with the supply chain that is causing a major shortage in the balloon world….I thought my ballooning days were over!

So Friday, I went to the balloon install + poured my little heart into it. There was something so bitter sweet as I placed the cute ballon swag around the lights + “I will remember you” played meloncoly in my head. This was it, my last install….

WELP. That is until I got home + pulled up my computer. Sitting in my inbox was an email requesting that we do a ballon install for Zac Browns VIP area at PNC along with 3 other requests🤣

Well I couldn’t say no to that!

So instead of hanging up my hat, I have spent the week making arrangements to + another team member to our balloon team! 🙌🏻

It’s something I have talked about doing but quite frankly I just haven’t had the energy to put towards finding someone. But that email lit a little fire under my booty and…

For the foreseeable future I will be handling the designing/marketing/+ yes dealing with all the dreaded endless sourcing while my friend Natasha will be helping me with all the backend work, ladder climbing + stuntman activities that are a little too much for me right now!

To those of you that I told that I was out of the balloon business + missed helping you celebrate with fun + festive balloons - I am so sorry! Juggling all the things + making ALL decisions as a small business owner can be tough sometimes! Add a seemingly never ending global pandemic that wrecks havoc on your business daily, it can take a toll on what you think you can accomplish. But that’s a story for another day…

So here’s to the shortest retirement in the history of retirements! From the time I left the last venue to the time I said yes to my next installs, it was approximately 35 minutes 🤣🤣🤣

Stay tuned for behind the scenes of our install this weekend + if you are in need of a balloon install, hop over to our website to get started! 💕
