My fragrance choice for January…… is Breathe 🌿

I don’t know about you but in these dark Winter months I feel so stuffy, all the heating and being indoors, my sinuses and my head are just permanently foggy and the darkness makes me feel so sleepy.

Having Breathe around my house genuinely helps revive me a little. Invigorating peppermint & eucalyptus to really awaken the senses. This fragrance has a high essential oil content so be sure to seek medical advice before using when pregnant.

Available in both reed diffusers and wax melts 🌿

🌱 Happy New Year my lovelies! 🤍

For me, January is not about new starts and goals at all. Leaning into the mindset that it is still the middle of Winter and resting and getting cosy and living in slow motion is what I’m focusing on right now!

I have decided to put new Reed Diffusers in various rooms in my house though, as a way to invigorate the space, (hibernating is not festering! 😆), and I just love The Coastal Path for this. It’s such an uplifting, fresh and pretty fragrance. I’ve also put out Breathe, Velvet Grace and Mountain Cedar (in case you were wondering!)

The Coastal Path - marine + rose (delicate enough for a bedroom)
Breathe - peppermint + eucalyptus (fresh bathroom vibes)
Velvet Grace - peony + oud (warm cosy floral vibes)
Mountain Cedar - cedarwood + jasmine (grounding rejuvenating vibes)

Ah twixmas, I always love this period. A chance to really slow down after the chaos of the Christmas build up and Christmas Day itself. I plan on living in slow-motion, a very useful technique to try if you’re feeling overwhelmed, reading my books and getting some fresh air, and very little else before I’m back to (other) work on Tuesday.

I hope you all had a gorgeous Christmas. I’ve received some lovely messages this year from customers who have been new recipients of my candles, and I’ve been so happy to hear how loved they are - thank you!

Somehow it’s been FOUR whole years today since I launched Olivia Michael Candle Co into the world! 🥳 what a ride it’s been so far…

I think this year is the one I’ve found the most challenging. Massively increasing supply costs and never ending fragrance regulation changes have been incredibly frustrating - I’ve felt like I’m constantly chasing my tail, it has felt like a barricade to my productivity and creativity for any future plans. I’ve been feeling so stuck to be totally honest.

In September, I’d pretty much decided I was going to close the business after Christmas. It was not bringing me joy anymore, instead it was bringing endless work hours, physical and financial stress and many emotional breakdowns. This was not what I had envisioned for my little quest!

But after experiencing another wonderful season with you guys, I know I’m not ready in my heart to let OM go yet. I’m so damn proud of my baby that I’ve built, and the connections with customers and fellow businesses around me; they honestly are the greatest part of this venture and I still can’t quite believe that people want to have my products in their homes.

So something needs to change next year, I’m not 100% sure what yet, but I know it has to for the sake of my health, my sanity and my eye wrinkles. But, I’m sticking around, and I’m forever grateful to you all; every like, every share, every message, every sale, thank you, I wouldn’t have made it to four years without you. ❤️

(And if there’s any excuse to shoehorn my favourite Christmas song in anywhere, I’ll do it 😆)

I can’t believe how quickly my shelves are clearing out; your support this year has been incredible! 🕯💛 Each candle comes in the perfect gift-ready box, and there’s still time to order before Christmas if you don’t want to miss out. 🎁🤍

If you’re wanting your candles & co delivered in time for Christmas, these are the final dates for you to order by. As always with Royal Mail, things tend to get a little hairy in December so the sooner you can order the better really, but they will be dispatched on time by me I can promise you that! 📮 🫶🏻

I tend not to do too many markets; I find them exhausting to be completely honest with you. The prep beforehand is something else, I’m a bit of a stresshead, let alone the actual day, but I like to do a very select few in the Christmas period and I’m always so grateful and glad when I do. Nothing beats seeing people’s reactions in real life to my work and being able to interact with new customers and catch up with regulars.

If you’ve had a chat with me at one or then gone on to buy from me; please know that you’ve made my day, thank you so much ☺️ 🎄 🕯️

Recently I’ve been finding myself getting bothered by my wax melt packaging.

When lovely customers tag me in photos of their wax melts, instead of feeling proud I feel embarrassed and end up apologising!?

The thing is, I started out in plastic clamshells. I soon realised this was not the ethos I wanted for my business, so I found these pouches instead, made purely of plants, how amazing is that!

They’re pure pine wood cellulose; recyclable, compostable and biodegradable.

But because of this, they can get a little crumpled during delivery, despite my best packaging efforts, or after a market when people have had a rummage. And then when they’ve been opened and stored.

It bothers me aesthetically, I can’t lie, but I know the most important thing to me is that they are sustainable. That’s always been it for me.

So until I happen to find another solution that’s literally as good as being just plants, I hope you can accept the occasional crumpledness, and also know that the product inside is completely unaffected 💚

My personal favourite Winter fragrance is Winter Frost ❄️

Pine, woods, raspberry, green leaves, a tinge of caramel, there’s something so magical and sparkling about this fragrance.

Sadly no longer available in the green glass as pictured but will come in our classic amber glasses. 💚
