Candles that make life smell sweeter—without the sneezes or the sugar crash
I'll be honest: I adore the scent of flowers. A good rose or lilac fragrance? I’m in heaven. But real flowers? As much as I love them, I’ve learned (the hard way) that they don’t always love me back.
I’m allergic to bee stings—like, EpiPen-level allergic. So while I’ll brave the flower garden for a few beautiful moments, you better believe I’m on high alert like I’m in a National Geographic documentary. I’ve been known to garden with a watchful eye and my EpiPen tucked in my back pocket. (That’s dedication, right?)
So what’s a flower lover to do? Bring those beautiful, soft, blooming scents inside the house—bee-free, sting-free, and sneeze-free.
🍪 And Then There’s the Bakery Side of Me…
I also have a major soft spot for fresh-baked sweets. I mean, who doesn’t? But as someone who’s a little wiser (ahem, older), the truth is clear: A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips is not just a saying—it’s practically scripture. So instead of living on snickerdoodles and sugar cookies (which I’d do if I could), I’ve found my sweet spot in bakery-scented candles.
And that’s where my Grandma’s Kitchen line was born.
It’s a tribute to my grandma’s cookie-baking adventures—and the ones I shared with my own kids. Flour-covered countertops, giggles while sneaking frosting, and Christmas cookies that never made it to the gift tins. These memories are etched into my heart, and now they live on in candles like:
-
Sugar Cookie
-
Catch Me If You Can (Gingerbread)
-
Strawberry Pound Cake
-
Honey Spiced Pear (my rendition of apple crisp, but pear instead)
Lighting one of these candles doesn’t just fill the house with sweet comfort—it brings back those moments I never want to forget. It smells like childhood, like tradition, like joy.
And it’s all calorie-free. Win-win.
