Have you heard of "Forest Bathing" before? It's a common practice in Japan, where even doctors have prescribed the act. It's when you go out to the woods, and spend time outdoors, in nature. While a few hours is ideal, even 15 minutes can show results in improvements in your health, memory, lowering your cortisol (stress hormone) and can make a significant difference in depression. 

“The intent of forest bathing is to put people in touch with present-moment experience in a very deep way,” explains clinical psychologist Susan Albers, PsyD. “The sights, sounds and smells of the forest take us right into that moment, so our brains stop anticipating, recalling, ruminating and worrying.”

According to the Cleveland Clinic "If you don’t have access to green space at all — or if you just can’t get enough of that forest feeling — try bringing the outside in. Spruce up your space by... Burning a woodsy-scented candle or using an oil diffuser to fill your room with the smell of trees. (A 2009 study showed that simply being immersed in the scents of the forest may have a positive impact on your health.)"

And in reading that exact statement, I was inspired.

I wanted to create a candle to ground you, to help you - and me too, to find a way to pause, to slow down, to feel like you're surrounded by Japanese Cypress Trees and Eucalyptus, even if you can only find a moment to steal away in your half bath, or to smell the candle unlit - in your car - before you run into work - or back home to your to do list.

I wanted to make it small and portable, and I wanted to be clean. So I worked with my friends at Summit & Terrace, a wonderful small business that’s also based out of Seattle, to make these into a reality. Made with coconut and soy wax. ~ 20 hour burn time.

I can't wait for you to smell these in person. ✨

CANDLE DETAILS:

• Each candle comes in a reusable gold tin. 
• Candle size: 3.5oz
• Burn Time: ~20 hours
• 100% Natural Coconut and Soy Wax, which burns clean
• Alcohol-free, phthalate-free all-natural fragrance oils

Each candle purchase will include:

• Samantha's Candle Tips Postcard to help you make the most of each candle, maximize the burn time, and tips on how to clean out and reuse the tin when you're done with it

Each candle is made by a small team in the US, so there is a limited quantity of each product available at any given time.

Long, hot summer days, warm air filled with the heavy scent of flowers, the low buzz of pollinators, drunk and lazily flittering from flower to flower. That was the feeling, that was the moment, that was the scent memory I wanted to capture.

I worked with my unbelievably talented new friend Kacie @kaciemcmackin of @kingsanddaughters to hand make these beautiful bars of soap here in the Pacific Northwest.

Made with a mix of olive oil, coconut oil, canola oil, jojoba oil, shea butter, castor oil, and cocoa butter. These cold processed soaps are extremely moisturizing and lathers beautifully. They have swirls of pink and green french clay and are finished off with the sweetest mix of dried flowers, making each one so unique.

SOAP DETAILS:

• Soap size: 5.5oz
  
• Cold Processed
• The soaps are made primarily from olive oil (which dries hard, cleans well, and lasts a long time), coconut oil, canola oil, jojoba oil, shea butter, castor oil, and cocoa butter.
• Paraban and phthalate-free fragrance oils
• French Clays in Pink & Green
• Topped with dried wildflowers
• No dyes are used

Lotus Flowers emerge from the dark and murky waters each day with the rising sun, and return each evening. Because of this, they are seen as symbols of strength, resilience and purity - since they emerge from the mud in pristine conditions.

Featuring the most delicate little layers of color, each petal shade is on a separate pane allowing for so much light and ethereal movement. They almost appear to dance as you move. Plated in 22K Gold and featuring the sweetest Lilypad Studs that are stainless steel, they are also hypoallergenic, making them easy to wear.
