We LOVE seeing fresh restocks out in the wild… and Tom did not disappoint! 😍
Hudson Art & Decor’ just stocked up at both locations, which means your favorites are fresh and ready for you! From the dreamy vibes of Once Upon a Wish to the clean, coastal feel of Misty Seas… and don’t even get us started on Florida’s Sweethearts 🍋💛
Of course, the classics are still going strong (Just Peachy + Apple Cinnamon are always a good idea 😉).
If you’ve been thinking about stopping in… consider this your sign before these shelves start looking empty again 👀

You guys… I’m OBSESSED with this 😍🕯️

Huge shoutout to Hudson Art & Decor’ for featuring our candles in their latest video—we just did a big restock and they gave so many of our scents some love! 💛

From Florida Sweethearts (yes… that key lime goodness 🍋) to Misty Seas, Island Nights, and those cozy favorites like Grandma’s Country Kitchen and Cinnamon Apple… it makes me so happy seeing people experience them in person.

And wait until you see their wax melt selection—18 scents and counting!

If you’re nearby, definitely stop in and check it out. Supporting local never smelled so good ✨

On Sunday, March 1st, we were honored to make our 2025 charitable donation to The Runaways Animal Rescue 🐾

They are our chosen partnership for 2025, and we could not be more proud to support the incredible work they do for animals in need.

And here’s the beautiful part — every wax melt purchased helps make a difference.

Your support allows us to continue giving back and helps provide food, medical care, and safe shelter for animals waiting for their forever homes.

Small melts. Big impact. 🕯️❤️
Thank you for helping us shine a little light where it matters most.

🎉 Guess who’s restocked?
Hudson Art & Decor just filled the shelves back up with Shining Star candles and wax melts!

If you’re hunting for that real-deal, smells-like-you-just-cut-it-down-yourself Christmas Tree scent 🎄✨ — it’s waiting for you. But hurry… once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Candles and wax melts = the ultimate “I totally put thought into this” gift. 😉
