What do Palo Santo, scented candles, Lavender and Hecate have to do with each other? Let's find out how this is all woven together... This episode questions the authenticity and health benefits of products such as scented candles with labels like “Palo Santo”. Pondering the use of synthetic fragrances and the lack of regulation in the fragrance industry, I question what we are actually inhaling when burning such candles. Broader issues of ethical sourcing and the environmental impact of ingredients like soy wax are considered as well as the importance of intention behind using products like candles and essential oils. Overall, advocating for mindfulness and awareness of what we breathe in and put on our bodies is paramount: why is it “buyer beware”? And what's the difference between a dead, soulless synthetic Palo Santo and the real Palo Santo, from which the essential oil is obtained from dead wood? The second part of the episode starts by exploring the relationship between cleanliness and scent. Which is an excuse to talk about Lavender, or Lavandula, derived from the Latin "Lavare," meaning to wash. This presented another excuse to talk about the various Lavenders to be aware of (again, buyer beware). It's not coincidental how I took this time to share Gabriel Mojay's aromatic sonnet “Lavandula”, found in the depths of NAHA's 2016 conference proceedings. And what's that about Hecate? Links!

In one of my earlier podcast episodes I asked my listeners to contact me if they were a brand new candle maker and wanted to be on the podcast so we could record the beginning of their journey (and to also do a follow up episode 12 months later). This time last year the beautiful Sade and I recorded her story as a new candle maker, so in today's episode we're chatting about the past 12 months and what the journey has been like for Sade. This is a lovely conversation that will encourage you along your path.   In this episode we chat about: - The perseverance needed when obstacles come your way (in your business and personal life). - Why pauses in your business doesn't mean you've failed. - The importance of prioritising your personal growth journey.   ----------   SADE'S LINKS: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hopecreationscandleco/   SHOW LINKS: - Discord Coaching Day: https://candlebusinesscoach.com.au/discord/ - The Candle Makers Collective (membership): https://candlebusinesscoach.com.au/the-candle-makers-collective/ - Free Facebook group for candle makers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/candlebusinesshub - Download the Candle Business Roadmap: https://candlebusinesscoach.com.au/candle-business-startup-guide/ - Daily Motivation emails: https://www.candlebusinesscoach.com.au/dm-emails - Let's be Instagram friends: https://www.instagram.com/candlebusinesscoach/   Make sure you SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss any future episodes.

Learn how this brand's 'coffee cup' refill concept not only preserves the elegance of your home décor but also encourages a shift in consumer habits toward a greener future. Our exploration ventures into the artistry of Boojee's fragrance collection, where each scent, like the evocative Cycladic Native or the enigmatic Thorn Noir, is more than a mere aroma – they're timeless narratives captured in wax, available to all who seek an affordable touch of luxury. Jonathan Horemans and Boojee are painting a new portrait of the scented candle market where sustainability and sophistication are no longer exclusive, but rather, a harmonious blend for the conscious connoisseur.Support the showFollow The Show On All Socials Using The Tag @skincareanarchy
