✨ They’re here, friends! ✨
Our hand-poured Tallow & Beeswax Candles are finally ready, and I can’t wait for you to try them. Explore all of our scents — and unscented — on our website!

These aren’t just any candles — they’re rooted in history. For centuries, families relied on tallow candles to light their homes, and we’re bringing that timeless tradition back. Blended with pure beeswax, they burn cleaner, brighter, and even help purify the air as they glow.

Each one is poured by hand here in Maine with simple, natural ingredients — no soy, no paraffin, no fillers. Just a warm, vintage flame that feels like home. And with over 50+ hours of burn time, you’ll enjoy them night after night.

I made these with cozy evenings, quiet moments, and gifting in mind — I think you’ll love them as much as I do. 🕯💛

Today’s post is a little different… 🍂
We made it longer than usual before the first cold of the school year snuck in—but on this first day of fall, the remedy is simple: chicken soup simmering on the stove. 🥣✨
Add rice noodles, veggies, or tweak it however you’d like to make it your own signature soup. You can find the recipe below. Here’s to cozy kitchens, full bowls, and staying well this season! 💛

🌿✨ It’s National Eczema Week ✨🌿
Did you know that eczema is at the very heart of why our family business began? ❤️ Years ago, our family was searching for gentle, natural relief from irritated, sensitive skin. Every product we create today was born out of that need—for safe, effective, and traditional skincare that actually soothes instead of harming.
What started as a search for answers has grown into our passion: crafting skincare made with simple, natural ingredients you can trust. 🕊️ From tallow lotions to soothing balms, every recipe is created with families like ours in mind—those who know the daily struggles of eczema and sensitive skin.
This week is a reminder of why we do what we do, and why we’ll always stay true to making products that help bring comfort and care to your skin. 💛

Nourish your skin the natural way—back to basics with grass-fed tallow skincare. As a small, family-owned business, we specialize in handmade tallow-based products crafted for sensitive skin. Our minimal-ingredient formulas are thoughtfully made to support healthy, radiant skin—just the way natu...

☕️ Small business mom life is never boring! One of my kiddos left the sink running, and before I knew it—half of my workshop was flooded. 🙃
So today’s “to-do” looks a little different… lots of coffee, lots of scrubbing, and a full strip-down, clean-up, and sanitizing session to make sure everything is back to the high standards I keep for your skincare. 💦✨
Running a small business while raising kids definitely comes with curveballs, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Thanks for sticking with me while I get things back in order—your products will always be made in a space that’s as clean and safe as it is loved. 💛

For centuries, tallow candles have lit homes—from ancient times to early American homesteads. 🕯️
We’re excited to bring this tradition back with our own hand-poured tallow & bees wax candles coming in October! Natural, sustainable, and long-lasting, they burn with a warm, steady glow—just as they have for generations.
🔥 Simple. Natural. Time-tested. 🔥
