Candles
Characteristics of our Candles:
Many are combined with essential oils, which clearly have therapeutic benefits. However, fragrance oils have a stronger scent, which also evokes ‘feel good’ emotions. Having both, allows you to choose your preference; fragrance oil candles for larger spaces, filling homes and other spaces with wonderful scents. Or, aromatherapy candles for introspection and to focus on wellbeing. These are ideal for meditation, or to accompany journaling ~ perfectly paired with a Lux pen of course!
It is paramount that our candles are sustainable and have a positive impact on the world, so, with this in mind, they are all made from 100% soy wax. This means they are also vegan and last a lot longer too.

Alex’s Story
Things changed for me following the birth of my son, Arthur. I would describe myself as an enthusiastic ‘homemaker’ and I love being home with my boy. I love creating a warm, loving and nurturing space. Cleaning and cleansing a room, then lighting a fresh aromatherapy scent to set the scene or sinking into a deep warm bubble bath, surrounded by the relaxing aroma of lavender and warm light, to help me relax and rejuvenate. Becoming a mother made this even more important than ever, balancing the chaos with the calm. It caused me to re-evaluate things massively, as it does for so many new mothers.
Then, I began making candles as a hobby during my maternity leave and found I loved the process of creating them almost as much as I loved experiencing their aura! I began to experiment with ideas of how I could structure my life differently around my passion.
My mum is my confidante; my best friend. There is not a day that goes by we don’t see each other, if not speak on the phone multiple times! I was so inspired by her devotion for the Lux products she was creating ~ pens and pots with purpose, with ideas for so much more besides. We decided the candles fit perfectly with the brand and began to explore ways we could work together. Our family business started to take shape!
For the signature range my intention was to create Candles for Contemplation, that could be gifted to ourselves and others in times of need. The range has been carefully curated with aromatherapy to shift mood and perspective.
