Hello Autumn

The hot Summer days have made way for refreshing Autumn days. Although I love Summer, I do like the cosiness that comes with darker evenings as the seasons change. Curling up on the sofa with a soft blanket, a nice cup of herbal tea and some beeswax candles for the warm glow and I’m ready to switch off for the day, this is how most of my evenings will look from now on. Do you like the colder months or are you already dreaming of Spring?

New products in the shop perfect for the changing seasons

These beautiful naturally dyed beeswax dinner candles by WAX Atelier are a great addition to the range of beeswax candles already available on the website!
For this Autumn, WAX Atelier was inspired by the colours of the changing seasons, exploring the warm and rich depths of nature’s palette. I chose 4 colours that are perfect for the festive season but that will also bring beauty to the everyday. On top of that, they are perfect to mix and match with the hues of my candle holders.

I’ve also sourced this clever little tool, a candle sharpener. It’s the best and safest way to achieve a snug fit for your dinner/taper candles with any holder, a must-have for those with irregular-sized or antique holders. Also, if like me, you are in love with hand-dipped beeswax candles than you know they all vary in width, so this sharpener is perfect to make them fit just right for your holders.

Autumn is the right time to be extra gentle on yourself

The changing seasons are a perfect time during the year to give yourself some extra love and to be more kind to your mind & body.
Spending time in nature can benefit both your mental and physical wellbeing, and will leave you refreshed. It’s always a good idea to take time off from our screens and daily tasks, even if only for a short period of time. To help you with this at home, I’ve added various products that will make you stop for a moment and make time for yourself, to breathe and find a moment of quietness. These items can also aid with meditation or resting time after exercising.

Eye pillows are a great aid to help you relax, intensify your meditation, or relieve eye strain after looking at a screen for a long time. Each pillow comes with a removable cover which can be washed and you can choose between eye pillows with added organic dried lavender or without. The lavender aids natural sleep if this is something you struggle with and can also help with headaches.

Palo Santo (meaning holy wood) originates from the native Indians in South America where centuries ago they already used it during ceremonies to clear the aura and to heal from negative influences. It is naturally cleansing and is said to help attract positivity and good fortune. The sticks emit a delicately sweet, fresh and woodsy aroma with hints of mint and citrus.

These floral white sage smudge sticks will add even more beauty to your smudging ritual…
White sage is a sacred herb used by shamans of indigenous peoples in North America for centuries for its ability to purify and cleanse. It creates a calming ritual that helps to release the stagnant energy that can breed negativity. White sage sticks can be burnt for many reasons including moving into a new home, after a period of illness, starting a new chapter in your life or simply to sharpen focus and intuition during your meditation or yoga session.
