Making Homemade Candles from Scratch
 Hello Beauties, Today I am going to be teaching (at least attempting to) you how to make a candle from the ground up.

I did decide to take this a step further and layer the candle to make an ombre look, but you by all means do not have to... Read more...

They offer everything from waxes, to bath bombs, lotions, fragrances, soaps, and products like that.  Before I get ahead of myself, I want to give you a little backstory to how I ended up here: As I have continued to make bath and body products, the more I have gone from more of a hobbyist to actually wanting to perhaps go on and sell my products. When you are a... Read more...
You are Your Own Unique
Hello Beauties, This post is just a reminder to us all: The other day, I received a comment from someone who asked me, "what makes your products so special? I have seen a million candles, and soaps and blah blah blah. So what do you that makes you stand out from everyone else"? Without hesitation, I just responded that my products are homemade, and that is what makes them special. No matter whether you follow a recipe to a T or you go and put your own spin on something,...

It all started from one candle kit
Hello Beauties, As I mentioned in my previous post, I discussed that after coming out of my Covid bubble, I finally started to get my mojo back after I started to take care of my mental health. Over the holidays, I was asked by my kids and husband what I wanted for Christmas? If I can be honest, what I really wanted was to just keep waking up early and taking time in the morning to get my kids ready for school, and drive them to school. Even in those... Read more...
Life After Covid
Hello Beauties, I want to start this by telling a little bit of my story. During Covid, I went downhill...fast. When I got pregnant with my last baby, I had decided to stop taking my anti-depressants and anxiety medications. My doctor had told me it was totally safe to continue the meds, but I just felt like I had been and was in such a good place mentally and emotionally that I would be fine. Well, I wasn't right...one thing I have to say is, the reason I was feeling... Read more...
