All natural soy wax candles and beauty goods for slow, mindful living
When we collaborated with the National Museum of Women in the Arts on their exclusive Frida candle (shop here), they came and spent a day with us in the studio!Read the full interview on their blog and watch us pour some fresh candles below.
She is our eternal muse. Our forever role model. Our "What Would Frida Do?" go-to solution-finder. She symbolizes everything to us - power and strength in femininity; the courage to push boundaries with art; and still having life and spirit even when you feel trapped and stuck. She displayed so much of this in her life that it continues to inspire us, and so many people, years and years after her death.
I recently paid a visit down to the National Museum of Women in the Arts and found a portrait of hers there hidden within the walls.
It was my first time seeing one of her works in person and it was truly inspiring. It was evidence that the woman we idealize lived / breathed / painted. It was a connection to a whole different world.
This year is the first year I have ever been completely self-employed. Since starting the business, I always had a part-time job in some capacity with a boring steady paycheck that paid the boring bills. This year, all my income is coming from projects that I am literally generating out of thin air. It's been HARD. It's been stressful. It's been challenging. And some days, it's rewarding af.
Summer Stillness is essential. I've never been the type to like really intense vacations. I'd rather go somewhere new, beautiful and get giddy over the flowers. Mr HH and I spent a week in Sedona this Summer exploring and being. It was a perfect getaway from our daily stresses, and more than once did we entertain leaving the city for a little place in the wild.
