Apparently I have a type: things that shouldn’t have opinions…but do. 👀

Talking swords. Sentient plants. Ships with feelings. Houses that can literally leave.

Non-romantically. I cannot stress this enough. 😂

Anyway, I own a candle company, so Slightly Sentient is coming this winter. 🕯️

August reading recap 📚✨

Somewhere between moving, unpacking, getting the shop back together, and sending my tiny human off to kindergarten, I still managed to squeeze in four books. 🥹

📚 Smoke & Scar
📚 This Monster of Mine
📚 A Sea of Song & Sirens
📚 Between Tides & Thunder

I have a habit of highlighting every passage that describes how something smells. 🕯️

Almond. Citrus. Mint, rain & salt. Smoke & pine.

Now it’s September, so bring on the feral fall reading. 🍂📚

What was your favorite August read?

The shelves are slowly filling back up 🕯️
And since I’m spending the weekend restocking after the move, I figured your shelves deserve a little restock too.

FREE SHIPPING all weekend ✨
No code needed. Just books, candles & questionable self-control.

Meanwhile, I’ll be over here figuring out how I somehow own this many candles and still need to make more. 😂

Why make two trips when I have ten fingers and poor risk assessment? 😂

Kindle. Candle things. Alani. Keys. Packing tape.

Honorable mentions: the sunglasses + headphones already on my head.

Girl Grip: Candle Maker Edition 🕯️

FINAL WEEK. 🌊⚔️

Somehow we’ve made it to Week 8 of the Summer Reading Challenge?! 😭

This week: Between Tides & Thunder by Leena Kazak ... arranged marriage, an enemy kingdom, a terrifying stormwielder AND enemies-to-lovers yearning? Say less.

Obviously I paired it with Enemies to Lovers — violet, bergamot + vetiver. The trope practically picked the candle for me. 🖤
