Sunday Reset — setting up for a week of very slow pouring as I’m still recovering from ACL reconstruction surgery. It’s a long road to get back to “normal,” and if you know, you feel this in your soul. At least the sun is streaming in and spring scents are on deck.

Today is World Cancer Day. If you’re fighting the fight, you’re in my heart and you can do this thing, one of the hardest things you’ll ever face.

Six months of chemo, one year of immunotherapy, 25+ rounds of radiation, one major surgery, and I’m thriving. Never give up.

Love is love is love is love. Sweet cinnamon and fig is back by demand for Valentine’s Day, and I think I’m reserving a spot for it in the permanent collection.

I did a lot in 2025. I learned a lot, too. Easy lessons, hard lessons. I wanted to show you everything I did — traveling to London and out West; making a custom candle for one of my idols; concerts and friends and family and working out and my first Bills game. But making a reel is a huge challenge because, as they say, editing is harder than creating in the first place.

Here’s what I’ll share instead — the single core memory I’m most proud of — regaining my health after what has felt like years of major ups and downs. I’m not the best rower. I’m not even a good rower. But I try. I challenge myself. And it’s the one thing that truly made me feel more alive than ever this summer.

See you on the water.

Special thanks to the talented for the first three photos of me on the Black Rock Canal.

It’s a beautiful day to label a hundred candles while watching the sun try to sneak its way out from behind the grey cloud cover. I love an early winter.

It’s only mid-November and I already feel like I can’t keep up with your love for Christmas in Buffalo! This happens every year, and it makes me so happy to know this memorable blend of fresh apple and sweet evergreen will be filling so many homes this season 💛 I’ll be restocking these at and up until Christmas week.

Help clear out my studio one last time in 2025! I have a spacious workspace but I absolutely hate clutter! I have several boxes of testers, overstock, unnamed scents that didn’t make the final holiday collection, and lots of seconds — irregulars, scratched vessels, and “ugly” pours that didn’t meet quality control. Grab a great deal starting at $12 each. Sale starts online this Friday, Nov. 14 until sold out. Local pickup only, no shipping. Let’s do this.

I always opt for simple, minimal, soft, and thoughtfully branded, and this holiday season is no different. Winter Moon is new this year and has quickly become the front runner of the holiday collection. Dreamy and deep moonflower enhances fresh evergreen for a unique scent you will want as the signature emotion for your winter gatherings.
