I recently just hit the 10,000 candle sales milestone! HOLY COW. I literally never thought I'd sell 1,000, much less 10x that. THANK YOU for all your support, shares, orders, and uplifting messages. This business is the most fun because of YOU.

That being said, I figured I should give you guys a solid rundown of my top selling candles! If you haven't tried one of them on this list, you're missin' out! Add it/them to your wishlist for the next time you're shopping!

1.) Spa Day - Imagine some cucumber slices on your eyes, hot stones on your back, and calm music playing. This candle can trick your mind into believing you're having a self-care day at the spa!

2.) Fraser Fir - Just in time for winter! This candle smells like a fresh cut tree that you can enjoy all winter long without having to water and pick up the pine needles it leaves behind ;)

3.) Cabin Weekend - The perfect getaway for these long Minnesota winters (and to be honest, really good for all year round!). Light this baby up and drift away from the craziness of your home. 

4.) Chai Pumpkin Spice - Did Starbucks call? They want my recipe! This warm, yummy candle will make your house feel like October all year long. 

5.) Home for the Holidays - Although Christmas may have passed, this candle is perfect for those cold, winter nights. You'll be reminiscing of the magical holiday scents at home such as cranberry, orange spice, + cinnamon.

6.) Autumn Star - Mmm I can't wait for fall to come around! We're only half a year away friends. This candle embodies all things Autumn, think apple orchards, hot cider, crunchy leaves, and cinnamon.

8.) Cranberry Apple Bourbon - The perfect amount of sweetness + spice to tickle your senses into reaching for a glass of bourbon. Your drink will keep your insides warm while this candle flickers beautifully on the table. 

9.) Evening Fireside - Imagine a glass of wine in one hand, a book in the other, and a warm, crackling fire. Now pour all of that into a jar and you've got this candle!

10.) Homebody - This candle has been around the block for a few years. It's a staple in my shop! It's like a cozy sweater on a windy day - a must have.

Let’s get cozy with some candles!

Pssssst! Insider's note: November 1st ALL candles will be open for PREORDER! Yep, that means you get to stock uppppp on all your fave fall + holiday (yes, holiday) candles! Mark your calendars and start your wish lists :) 

I know we’re all spending a little more time at home lately and our houses definitely aren’t getting cleaned regularly. But hey, that’s what candles are for right ;). I can’t guarantee they’ll keep you awake for your 97th Zoom call of the week, but I can guarantee they’ll have your house feeling (and smelling!) alllll kinds of cozy during this craziness. 

First up, is the Cabin Weekend Soy Candle because let’s be honest...we all have a little cabin fever with the freshly fallen snow. Fall came and went so quickly and now we’re full speed ahead into the snowy winter days (which I can’t complain about too much, any other winter lovers out there?!). Close your eyes and take a sniff, this candle will make you feel right at home with its scents of pine, fraser fir, musk, + mandarin. 

The next runner up is Mom’s Banana Bread Soy Candle. Forget slaving away in the kitchen all afternoon! Light this candle right before your partner walks in the house and you’ll have them fooled that you’ve been baking for hours! The warm, sugary, banana goodness wafting through the air will smell so good, I swear you can taste it. 

The last cozy candle you need is Let’s Cuddle Soy Candle. Need I say more? Okay fine, here’s the juicy details. The soft scent of sandalwood + roses + a thunderstorm is the perfect candle for throwing on a sweatshirt and snuggling up in a blanket for movie night. You can’t go wrong with this candle! 

Tried my candles before? What's your fave cozy scent?

We pair so many things together that compliment each other (peanut butter and jelly, Laverne and Shirley, ice cream and sprinkles, Sundays and brunch), what could be better than candles and drinks?! 

While using my past bartending expertise and my candle guru-ism (made that up), I have curated a list of some candle and drink combos that I think will be a smash at any spring or summer party!

Wow, where does the time go?! For some reason, I feel like we skipped over a month this year....anyone else feel me? Regardless, 2018 was a big year! My dream became a reality by opening this store, I got married (weee!), traveled a ton, left my corporate job, cuddled my dog more than any normal human should, ate tons of pizza, and drank too much wine (jk, there is no such thing).
