2026 will be the first year since the start of MC where we will NOT be doing any pop-ups. Here’s why:

✅ We’re dedicating 2026 to expanding our business, hitting new milestones, & transitioning from a one-woman-show to a bigger team!

✅ Markets are our favorite way to meet customers IRL, but we can’t help but feel like we haven’t been present enough for our online community. It’s time for us to temporarily spend less time bulk prepping for markets, and more time connecting with our entire community around the world.

✅ Our founder, Monica, is growing her family! MC will always be her first baby, so taking a small step back from physically demanding business tasks will help her & the entire team avoid burnout

✅ We grew comfortable doing markets. And when things become easy, that’s when you know it’s time for a new challenge. We’re challenging ourselves to dream bigger dreams, align more with our brand values, & try something new - even if we fail.

Thanks for sticking around!💕💕💕

yeahhhh we basically work 24/7…but working towards building our dream business is 100000x worth it over building someone else’s.

The award of “The Most Copied Candle of 2025” goes too….

Well, let me explain what’s going on first -

Last year, I was quieter, more guarded, & honestly - less creative. I let myself be affected by a handful of “copycats.” As someone who shares a lot of her behind-the-scenes small business owner life online, I felt like it was my fault that others took too much inspiration from my shop. And so, I let it happen, silently. And as a result, my creativity was stunted.

But I realized, I have the unique obligation to my customers to show MORE of my creative process, not less. And I have an equal responsibility to my fellow small business owners to demonstrate how originality is ALWAYS the better option over copying. So we’re back to the drawing board, creating more, sharing more, and growing more.

Our Sandalwood Musk & High Tide Soy Candle has a special place in my heart because I created it for myself. It’s an ode to the few yet special memories I have of growing up by the Jersey Shore. It’s settling, it’s organic, it’s home. And although it may have been copied throughout all of last year (and honestly maybe even before that and DEFINITELY even more in the future) copycats simply cannot copy the story behind an original creation.

This is only 1 example of how Monica’s Collective has been creatively violated over the past 7 years - but hopefully, by sharing this experience, customers will recognize that value comes not just from the finished product, but more importantly from the creative process that led to it. I hope to set an example for other small business owners to not let copycats stunt you - and to always value your own personal version of creativity.

Thank you for being here and supporting a creative small business + me

This is how we’re staying cozy these last few weeks of winter:

✅ lighting our favorite cozy candles: the Cedarwood Patchouli & Clove Soy Candle orrrr the Fireside Vanilla & Rosy Amber Soy Candle are our go-to’s to maximize coziness👏

✅ making a cup of tea to romanticize these last few colder days🫖☕️🍵

✅ supporting small local businesses especially since they could use some extra love & care during rough weather days

PS if you still have our holiday seasonal candles like the Mistletoe & Berry Cedarwood Soy Candle, this is the perfect time to finish them off before we launch our limited edition Spring Collection shortly🌷 Stayed tuned for a launch day announcement!
