Choose Calm

In a world that is always moving—sometimes far too quickly—it’s easy to lose sight of the little pauses that keep us grounded. That’s why we believe in choosing calm. In the soft flicker of a candle, the quiet ritual of self-care, and the gentle reminder that peace can be found in the simplest of moments. Choose Calm Choosing calm is about intention. It’s the conscious decision to step away from the rush, even for just a few minutes. Lighting a candle, applying a little hand cream, sipping a warm drink—these small acts signal to your mind and body that it’s time to slow down, breathe, and create a space for yourself amidst the chaos. Slow Moments, Soft Light There’s something almost magical about the way candlelight transforms a space. When the flame flickers through glass, it softens sharp edges and casts a warm, inviting glow that feels like an embrace.

Behind the Scenes: A Creative Collaboration with Matt Cornell & Amelia Kellerman πŸ“Έ✨

There’s nothing more magical than seeing our products come to life in the hands of other creatives. Each piece begins its journey in our studio, crafted with care and attention to detail — but it’s when they find their way into the hands of photographers, stylists, makers, and dreamers that they truly shine. We love watching how each person’s unique vision transforms our soaps, candles, and homewares into something new, telling a story we could never have imagined on our own. It’s a reminder that creativity is a beautiful collaboration, and the magic is always multiplied when shared. We adore seeing our products come to life beyond the shelf—and this recent shoot with talented photographer Matt Cornell  and stunning model Amelia Kellerman was pure magic. We had never collaborated on something like this before but we were excited to go for it. Photographer Matt instantly put us at ease. Before the shoot began, he talked us through everything he intended to do, the mood he wanted t...

Pink Whispers: Our 3 Favourite Picks

There’s something timeless about the pairing of pink and white. It’s gentle, calming, and quietly confident — like a whisper of spring or the first light through sheer curtains. In post  we’re shining a light on three of our prettiest pink pieces — candles, melts, and homewares that bring a sense of softness and warmth to any space. Each pick has been chosen for its delicate detail and decorating charm. Whether you’re gifting or adding a little beauty to your own home, these pieces are made to be cherished. A true showstopper in soft pink, this candle jar is topped with a sculpted camellia lid — equal parts functional and floral. It’s the kind of piece that doesn’t just scent your space, but  elevates  it. Once the candle has burned through, reuse it as a trinket pot or a delicate little storage jar for things too pretty to hide.
