SAVE THE DATE! I’m excited to be vending at @portlandnightmarket on May 2nd (my birthday!) and May 3rd from 4-11pm. 🌸

I’ve been having fun designing my new 10x10 booth… these are just a few of my booth elements! It’s gonna be dreamy! 😊🌸

Now more than ever… shop local + support makers! 🛍️

Volume up for some calming #ASMR — the cozy crackle of my wood wick candles and the soothing susurration of the sea. 🔥🌊

I am so grateful to be spending a few self care days at the Oregon Coast, where the forest meets the sea. It’s my favorite place in the world. ☺️

I wish I had a larger reach because these candles are great and I have many of them and I gift them and I love supporting small businesses, especially in my neighborhood, and I’m an English major who likes my own run on sentences. 😂

I just dropped these limited edition candles to the online shop! A beautiful 11oz blush ceramic vessel topped with #strawberryquartz and an 8oz blush embossed vessel with floral lid. The scents are heavenly too. 🌸

Not at all surprised since they already threw queer folx under the bus. This is your reminder that corporations don’t give a shit about you (even when they claim to) and they will always do whatever benefits their wealth. SHOP SMALL. SHOP LOCAL.

… I think it’s easy for older generations to dismiss how important things are for younger generations, who are actively fighting the system and trying to organize. People have lost one of their lifelines, and I think grief is valid when you lose something that meant something you 💜

…it was also a place of free speech and truth. Ie, I often get shadowbanned on ig/fb for speaking out against genocide, and those apps suppress news they don’t like. On tiktok you could openly dialogue and organize. I think the grief of losing it goes far deeper than “an app”.

As a fellow GenXer I didn’t really use it, but for a lot of younger activists / queer folx it was a safe space and a real community. It was a lifeline for trans and queer folx stuck in conservative towns…

Fire is kinship. We evolved gathering around its flames to dance, sing and share stories. And it still connects us, whether around a candlelit table or campfire.

My hope is that my natural, beautifully scented candlelight sparks many moments of warmth, joy, and connection.
