A candle from Evil Queen’s candles – this brand will literally become the *light of your life* thanks to their sassy labels and delicious scents.
evilqueen / Via instagram.com, evilqueen / Via instagram.com
When I tell you I am wholeheartedly committed to this candle brand I mean it. I was first introduced to them when I discovered their “OMG You’re Engaged” candle in a boutique near my NYC apartment a few years ago. I’ve been gifting them to everyone I know (and myself) since. This small business is woman-owned by an absolute badass who also writes poetry. My all-time favorites are the seasonal options — I burn one of her token fall scents, “Literally Dead,” all year long and have been debating all winter whether to treat myself to “Snowed In” before the season passes. Honestly, If you couldn’t already tell, I just really freakin’ love these candles!
Get them from Evil Queen Candles: Literally Dead or You’re My Person for $20 each

After using this deep conditioner my hair felt so much better and softer. In addition to that, the smell is A-MA-ZING. Definitely one of my new favorite wash day products.”

My beloved golden retriever Luke recently passed away and, understandably so, my family and I have been heartbroken and mourning the loss. During this tough time my husband surprised me with a custom drawing of Luke as if he was a Disney character (as all things Disney bring me the most joy).
