July is a month of sunshine, warmth, and often, reflection. It's a perfect time to explore not just the world around us, but also our own inner compass. This journey of self-discovery can extend to many aspects of life, including our environmental choices. To me, sustainability is more than just a trend – it's a core principle that fuels our flame (pun intended!).
We believe in creating beautiful, fragrant candles that are kind to the planet. This means using all-natural coconut wax, which burns cleaner than most traditional waxes. We also use wooden wicks for a gentle crackle and paraben-free fragrances that fill your home with delightful scents without harmful chemicals. The beautiful amber glass jars our candles come in are not just aesthetically pleasing, they're also reusable!
But why is sustainability so important to us? Here's where the self-exploration comes in. Taking the time to understand your own connection with the environment can be a powerful motivator. Do you find peace in nature? Does the thought of a polluted world worry you? Understanding these deeper motivations can fuel your commitment to sustainable choices, big or small.
Here are some prompts to get you started on your journey:
- Think about the natural elements that bring you joy. Is it the smell of pine trees, the sound of crashing waves, or the sight of a starry night?
- How do you want future generations to experience these things?
- What small changes can you make in your daily life to reduce your environmental footprint?
Remember, embracing growth is a key part of the sustainability journey. We are all learning and evolving. Maybe this month you start by switching to reusable grocery bags or using natural cleaning products. Next month, you might explore composting or supporting local farmers markets. Every step, no matter how small, contributes to a healthier planet.
We're on this journey with you. We're constantly looking for ways to improve our practices and create a more sustainable future. Let's find our flame together, illuminate our homes with beautiful scents, and leave the world a little brighter (and more sustainable) than we found it.
Until next time,
Simone
