Alchemia

12/20/2025

This is not a launch. This is me finally settling in...

After years of experimenting with different ways to make and share candles, something clicked.

I’ve always believed candlelight can comfort the spirit and ease the mind, but now I know… it can support the body, too.

Thanks to my studies in clinical aromatherapy, I’ve rebuilt everything I do through the lens of healing. Candles made with therapeutic-quality essential oils. Formulas that support the nervous system. Wax blends that are clean and sustainable.

This means a few big shifts:

✨ We are connecting through a subscription model, small batches, less waste, more intention.
✨ Each season, I’ll also offer a limited pre-order collection for those who prefer to shop seasonally.
✨ I’m now offering personalized wellness consultations to see if Aromatic Alchemy is right for your current imbalance or health concern.

All that busyness is for the new year! For now, it's time for renewal. Ahh...

That's why the first offering I'm making through Alchemia is a free 7-day experience via email and virtual sharing circle:

Wintering the Spirit is a candlelight sojourn into sacred renewal. A practice I created for those of us who are serving others this season. I believe that this daily practice will guide us to care for others better because we are committed to caring for ourselves. A hard-earned lesson through being a single mom entrepreneur.

The thing is, there's no pressure. Just presence, attunement, and devotion. Together.

🕯️ Join us via the link in comments. We begin to settle into the new season today!

Thank you for being part of this unfolding. I’m so honored to start again with deeper roots this time. Happy New Moon 🌑

Last Friday (12/12) sent me the news that the new website was complete and ready for launch!

She didn't know that message marked the beginning of this brand new business! Happy Birthday Alchemia!

Funny thing is, I didn't even know we were rebranding when we began working together to "make my site prettier" and build a new subscription page.

Woah, girl! What you do with is stunning 😍 I'm so incredibly grateful for your patience, presence, and guidance!

Yes! Sincerely Candle Co systems got an upgrade and a brand new place to call home; our beautiful site. 🏡

Even though that's the home, HERE is the playground and oh, my we just gave me a permission slip to have all the fun I want!

It feels so liberating to be out from the constraints I found myself in with my old brand; even if it's scary. Sometimes, you just out grow things ✨️

I truly think that was inhibiting my flow state and making things harder than they should be. "You've always been more than a candle delivery lady." - Thank you, Abby 🥰

This is timed perfectly with the end of college, so now I'm a Master Aromatherapist with 27 holistic healthcare credits & ~1300 hours! 🌟

I'm humbled to learn how much I do not know, dedicated to the continuous study of holistic wellness, and eager to have more intimate conversations with clients to see how therapeutic grade organic essential oils may support balance.

💫 I have some incredible case studies to share! 🌟 And here we go back to formula one with my candle recipes. Oh, dear 🤯

Meanwhile, peep the site and tell us what you think. I'm open to it 📞📩

If you're ready to set the mood for indoors season, I've got ya covered!

My Aromachologie Candles are blended to invoke that lovely feeling.

✨ Embrace lingers like an intimate hug—tonka bean, oud, and musk, deepened with hints of rum and soft amaretto. A scent for connection and desire.

✨ Blush is sweet and magnetic—dark plum, black cherry, and citrus layered with amber, vanilla, and soft musk. Like first-date butterflies under candlelight.

✨ Harmony is a breath of stillness—sea salt, freesia, and green leaves, grounded by warm amber and tonka. A moment of calm you can return to.

All three 12 ounce candles are only $36 for only one more week! DM me for your shopping cart link!

Convergence is the word of the week, eh hem, the year!
It’s been such a wild ride that I’m honestly stunned for words beyond that one.
So for now, I’m breathing.
FIRE 🔥🐲😎

Here’s what’s converging:

✨ By divine timing, my birthday celebration with family was postponed to today - the same day I planned to open the new business. I love that I got to celebrate both!

🎓 I finished my coursework this week and officially applied to graduate from ACHS as a Master Aromatherapist 🙌
27 credits • ~1300 hours • ~2 years 😴🎉

❤️ Yet, with all that, I’m most in love with how my family just rolls with whatever wild escapade I dream up, avenue I turn down, or trouble I cause. Life is a thrill. I'm grateful to do it with them. How did we get so alive?

⚾ Honestly, it feels like I slid into home base, tripped, tumbled, and dragged myself through the dust.

SAFE.

I scored.
I got up.
And now - it’s time to breathe.
FIRE 🔥🕊

I can't believe I'm shipping the last Nag Champa candle of its kind. Thank you to our new Arkansas customer! It's really real. I'm saying goodbye to candles that have been with me for over a decade.

Annnnd this is where I begin to get emotional. Candles conjure memories and they also make memories. I've carried this candle scent since 2011 and it was originally a special request from a sweet lady named Lisa who we met at a street market ib Pittsboro.

She became our customer for the years past and I assure you, my Nag Champa fans, I am strategically working to create a candle similar to this one, but with essential oils!

I'm intimidated, excited, and sad at once. Life is wild 🫶

I've decided to journal this experimental process of transitioning from fragrance oil to essential oil in my new newsletter called, "Lab Notes."

This e-letter is for those who want to know the "why" & "how" behind the products that we use. The first issue will mail in one week!

So if you're a conscious candle shopper, DM me your email to be included in my Lab Notes 📝

I tested out my new bath salts and fizzy today 🥰 My skin feels amazing!

While soaking, I was thinking of how the skin, being the largest organ, was absorbing useful minerals & constituents for good health since I chose to enrich my bath water with quality organic supplements and essential oils.

Any other dorks out there think of these things? 🤓

New aromatherapy gift bundle coming soon! ✨️ Newsletter friends will get the announcement and dibs first. I'm not sure how many I can make before Christmas...

🏹 Lab notes are for those who like to know the "why" and "how" behind the products that they use.

Send me your email if you'd like to join my NEW newsletter called "Lab Notes!" 𝘈𝘭𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦. 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘙𝘩𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘮.
