Small business candles are the best candles

Ever since the pandemic started (I know, I know, we don’t talk about her anymore) I’ve been on the hunt for small businesses to support regarding everything from candles to perfumes. Basically, everything I put on my body. Oh yeah, and they had to have clean ingredients. We don’t mess around when it comes to the skin, okay?

And I have tried A LOT of products. Point blank, here are my favorites.

Let’s start with candles!

The mood makers. The energy cleansers. The dog odor erasers.

I discovered my all time fave brand at the farmers market. If you know me, this is not shocking. I was immediately drawn in by Rasheeda’s simple but luxurious display and then, of course, the candles. They all have their own little personality. Each so complex and unlike anything else my nostrils have had the pleasure of inhaling. And warm. The vibe is just not sickly sweet. It’s a no for me. And that’s not Rasheeda’s thing anyways. Thank God.

And guys, I would be doing her a disservice if I didn’t mention Santal. It is an EXACT dupe for Le Labo Santal 33 but these are made with organic coconut which means they are CLEAN. Which means they make the cut. Praise be!

They last for such a long time and you can just tell they were made with love and inviting energy. Rasheeda is also always coming up with new scents and genuinely loves what she does which is reflected in her products.

Okay, so, candles, a slay.

Now you must know about the Coconut Creme Wax Melts. They’re actually just cute little tins of organic coconut cream that I love to keep in my purse for moisturizing purposes, for scent purposes, and for layering underneath a spray perfume so they LAST. It does it all. She is the moment.

All in all you can’t go wrong with any of Rasheeda’s products. All a win.

My favorite warm and slightly musky scents are:

Blue Santal

Palo Santo

Desperado

Vanilla Santal

You can find Mood Servant at the Brentwood Farmers Market, Calabasas Farmers Market, and some in person retailers. Tell her I sent you if you go and for the love of God smell her products. You’re welcome.
