Before giving birth, I (Lauren-the creator of Revive Candle Collection) was an extremely in tune with self, creative, and free-spirited person. I lost all sense of self shortly after giving birth. I didn’t see how I could possibly ever return back to who I was.
And that’s exactly what happened. She never returned.
I’ve grown and connected with myself in ways that I never even knew I needed. Those dark and uncomfortable moments of being a new mom was a wake up call. A wake up call to awaken the other woman that lies within me. The one who needed to become more assertive, less selfish, learn her boundaries, and needed to focus on the true meaning of life. I don’t have it all figured out, but I do know that I’m pouring more into what’s genuine and pure to my soul.
I think that through various walks of life, we all experience out of touch moments. Moments where the noise of the world, life events, and so forth causes us to leave ourselves for the external. Doing the work to tap back in with self is where a strong foundation for resiliency and peace remains. It’s where you are able to reclaim your power over how you perceive and navigate life. To tap back in with yourself means to assess what isn’t aligning with your soul. For me, I tried things like therapy, meditation, and writing during my postpartum depression period. I couldn’t connect with any of it at the time. No matter how hard I tried. It was candle making (and finally deciding to take prescribed medication lol) that pulled me out of the dark cloud. Making candles has had a tremendous impact in regaining peace, control, calmness, and creativity for me.
The candles I have created are from a place of what was once pain and loneliness that grew into happiness. I was able to connect more with who I was destined to be. Each candle fragrance has a different story, like we all do. We underestimate the power of scent. A scent has the ability to trigger thoughts, feelings, moods, and memories. Keeping that in mind, I’ve created a line of candles that help to uplift your senses while in sacred places such as your home.
So remember, tap into yourself as often as possible while only pouring into genuine connections with others.
A special thank you to one of my best friends for introducing me to the idea of candle making (Ness).
I hope each and every individual that purchases a candle will light it with intent,
manifest,
and release ✨
-Lauren
