✨ Big News + Site-Wide Sale! 🕯️

Friends! Sitting here with all the emotions as I share some pretty big updates... We're expecting a little one, and with this new chapter ahead, I've decided to pause DOH UHM until late 2025! 👶

Life's about to get beautifully busy with some major changes:
- Preparing for our little one's arrival! 🤱
- Taking on some exciting home renovations (new kitchen + nursery room! 🏠)

Being completely honest with you all - pregnancy has given me some major aversions to scents (who would've thought?! 😅). I even tried making candles with a gas mask, but turns out that wasn't the move! While I take this pause to focus on family and our space, I'm already dreaming up so many exciting plans for DOH UHM's return...

But first... Site-Wide SALE! 🕯️
Everything must go before we temporarily close our online shop! Rather than having these candles sit in inventory, I'd love for them to find homes with you all 🤗

- 30% off EVERYTHING
- Free shipping on orders $50+
- Special holiday packaging included
- Sale starts Dec 7, 7am EST
- All inventory will be removed Dec 18, 7am EST
- Must order by Dec 16 for Christmas delivery!

Stock up while you can - once our site closes on Dec 18, we won't be back until late 2025! Link in bio to shop 🛍️

From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for being the most incredible community. Your support, sweet messages, and faces at markets have meant more than you know! Can't wait to share this next chapter with you all and come back with fresh inspiration late next year! ✨

🎃 happy halloweeenie 🎃

It’s been a little quiet over here due to some life updates (bun in the oven 🍼) so thank you for everyone’s patience and grace as I’ve had to cancel a lot of markets and take a step back from candle-making this past month.

I’m hoping to be up and running soon - but I’m also allowing myself to have some grace as it’s been a difficult past few weeks! Thanks everyone again for the support and Happy Halloween — I hope everyone has a fun and safe night 🍭🍬

Important DOH UHM Update: Big News and Holiday Plans

You might've noticed that I've been a little quiet these past few weeks. I don't think I can keep it a secret anymore, as it's been affecting my ability to prioritize DOH UHM and ensure timely restocks, new releases, and more. You might have guessed it, but I am pregnant! Our baby is due in the spri...

👋🏽 Hi there! I thought it was time for a reintroduction for some of you who are new here.

I’m Monica, the founder of DOH UHM, a scent studio inspired by travel where I make uniquely scented candles that are an ode to my travel memories. 🗺️

The idea came to me when I was working my full-time corporate job. I really missed being out in the world, eating new foods, exploring history, getting out of my comfort zone, and just pushing my boundaries in any way I could. I wanted to find an outlet that could bring those memories back. 🤍

Why candles, you ask?

1️⃣ I’ve always loved candles and have been known to have a great smelling home because of them.

2️⃣ Scent is one of the strongest ties to memory.

So, I took a candlemaking class, learned about fragrance families and scent blending, researched and tested for months, and then voila… DOH UHM was born.

Each DOH UHM candle is a handcrafted creation, featuring:

✨ A custom scent blend tied to a specific destination

✨ Hand-drawn illustrations on label and packaging

✨ A customized Spotify playlist to tie sound to the destination

DOH UHM is all about bringing a multi-sensory experience into your home.

Although I’ll never go back to my flight attendant life, I’ll always cherish my nomadic lifestyle. DOH UHM is my way of honoring that wanderlust spirit.✈️

What’s your favorite travel memory? Drop it in the comments – it might inspire our next scent!

When I get a note that an order is a gift for someone, I’ll always add ribboning to it! 🎀 also peep our new tissue paper. It took a while to arrive but I’m glad it’s here 🗺️

For the upcoming holiday season, I’ll include cute packaging for the season 🎄🎅🏽 really excited for it!

My memories that our upcoming candle is inspired by! South Africa is truly one of my favorite countries I’ve ever traveled to. I have SO many photos from here and it was hard to choose which photos to showcase for this post. I’ve been writing a blog post about South Africa for the past few weeks but just have not been able to finish it because I have a lot to share and don’t want it to be never ending lol. Hoping to finish it for the launch next week! 🙏🏼

First outdoor - done ✔️. The amount of sweat to set this all up in this heat was something else 😅. For those who do this all the time, major to you 💪🏼🤩.

Really thankful to have met some new friends, see familiar ones from previous markets, & meet other local candlemakers ()! We’ll be back at town center sometime late next month for two more markets this season.

Excited for this upcoming holiday season! Although we didn’t get to bring out our new scents (rooibos, ca phe) or our new 7oz candles, we will at our next market this Saturday AND Sunday for at ! 🤎 really excited for this one.

Thanks for supporting DOH UHM 💖. And special thanks to my hubby for being a true ! 🥹

Patiently waiting for the best season of the year to officially start! 🍁🎃🧛‍♂️

Fall in Europe is my absolute favorite place to be, but Transylvania candle lit at home is the closest I can get there for now 🤗
