Just a little Candle Maker Dude humor while we’re pouring candles and making your house smell better than your life choices.

Back to work… those candles won’t pour themselves. 🔥🕯️

🏈🔥 IT’S OFFICIAL — WE’RE SUPER BOWL CHAMPS!!! 🔥🏈

Seahawks fans… listen. We’re not saying our
“Smells Like a Seahawks Win” candle caused the win…

…but the reviews are getting a little suspicious 👀👇

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I used it during the playoff game and we won!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Smells great and very cute.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Husband will love to burn this on game day!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Gave as a gift — she burns it during every game!”

Coincidence?
✨ The candle says absolutely not. ✨

Full disclosure:
👉 Sure…. We sell this candle for every team
👉 Every team’s candle claims credit when they win
👉 The candle is VERY confident in itself

All we know is… Seahawks Nation lit it, believed in it, and now here we are 🏆🔥

Celebrate the win, keep the superstition alive, and let the candle take just a little credit.

❄️⚡ Ice storm outside…
🔥 Last nerve inside… ON FIRE.

If the power goes out, at least the chaos can smell good.
Stay warm, stay safe, and keep it lit 🕯️

New year, same chaos 💪🕯️
We’ve been busy busy kicking off 2026 working on new products and dropping some brand new candles perfect for Valentine’s Day ❤️

Let’s just say this season has been infused with audacity, confidence, and absolutely no plans to calm down - and it shows 😌
More fun, more personality, more candles you’re going to love.

Stay tuned… these ones are GOOD 🔥

🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

This all started with a conversation in the car on the way home.
Just talking. Dreaming. Wondering “what if?”

That conversation turned into a short stint in the kitchen.
The kitchen turned into the basement.
And then… we officially outgrew the basement.

It’s empty right now… no filled shelves, no wax melting, no organized chaos just yet. We haven’t fully moved in, cleaned up, or built it out (holiday season said not today! 😅), but this space gives us something we didn’t have before: room to grow.

We’re still in the thick of our busiest time of year. Candles are being hand-poured, orders are flying out, and our kids are right there with us running through the warehouse today like it was their own playground and reminding us why we started in the first place.

This space means more possibilities.
More products.
More creativity.
More late nights chasing ideas we couldn’t fit into the basement anymore.

There’s still a LOT to do:
✔️ move in
✔️ clean up
✔️ build it out
✔️ survive the rest of the holiday rush

But we’re grateful. We’re excited. And we’re ready for what’s next.

Next up: moving day.
Then upgrades.
Then bigger launches.
Then… world domination 🌎😎

(Or at least more candles. Definitely more candles.) 🕯️🖤

Shay packing, me printing and wicking, Billy prepping what feels like a million jars 🤣🕯️
We’ve taken over the whole house at this point… and still somehow need more space.
Can’t move yet because y’all are keeping us BUSY (big thanks) - but big things are in motion 👀

✨ Late-night candle rush + toddler priorities = holiday season at CMD ✨

It’s busy season, which means we’re cranking out a big order of “Smells Like… Christmas Break” candles tonight 🎄🔥
…but Callie said excuse me - her baby needed a bottle pic immediately.

So here we are, juggling wholesale orders, shipping deadlines, and a toddler proudly documenting her baby’s orange juice bottle like it’s part of production. 😂🍼

Small business life = family life.
And honestly… we wouldn’t have it any other way. ❤️

Back to pouring candles… Callie is now the official Quality Control Supervisor.

From our family to yours… thank you for supporting our small business, our dream, and our little candle-making chaos. 🧡 Grateful for your support, your orders, and your love for good scents. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
