My smallest (and most opinionated 😂) fragrance consultants. Very serious research happening over here. 🤎👃🏾✨ #studiousliving #manifesing #creativeprocess #candlecollection by @studio_usliving

This collection has been in my heart for nearly 2½ years. I spent that time discovering its direction, refining the concept, testing fragrances, and most importantly, understanding why I wanted to create it. For me, that process is therapeutic. I simply love making things.

From the beginning, I knew I wanted to tell stories through scent. Each candle represents a different woman, a different quality, a different season of becoming.

As I enter my 40s, it feels like the right moment to let two worlds collide. I envisioned a sunrise on the beach, not to create something overly seductive, but to symbolize growth, freedom, and becoming.

If you’ve followed along, you’ve seen the journey: the process, the purpose, the testing… and now, the reveal.

Right now, I’m choosing to meet myself where I am. Every candle is hand poured by me in very small batches. One day, I hope to produce them on a larger scale, but for now, this slower, more personal approach feels exactly right. (Bear with me while I grow. 😊)

My hope is to have a small release before the holiday season, so perhaps one of these candles can become a thoughtful gift for someone you love… or even for yourself.

Thank you for following this journey, encouraging me, and celebrating this milestone with me. Here’s to 40. Here’s to becoming.  #studiousliving #luxurycandles #scentstory #handpouredwithlove #lavieenrosé by @studio_usliving

Sometimes the biggest milestones aren’t measured by age.

They’re measured by who you’ve become.

The story unfolds.

July 1.

Earlier this year, I had a vision to create four candles inspired by four different women, each representing a different season of becoming.

It wasn’t something I planned. It was something I felt. Something in my soul kept pulling me toward this collection.

Along with the candles came the vision for this photoshoot.

As I step into the final month of my 30s, it felt only right that this collection became part of one celebration. A reflection of where I’ve been, who I’m becoming, and what still lies ahead.

Here’s a little sneak peek. BIG SHOUT OUT to these two amazing women…. Photo credit: @_aabando_  Creative direction: @modernmovesbypaola 

See you on July 31. 🕯️✨#candles #creativeprocess #Fourdifferentwomen #STUDIOUSLIVING by @studio_usliving

I remember a professor in architecture school pointing out how I would subconsciously match my outfits to my studio models.
Guess some things never change. ❤️

Starting this year off with a new collection in mind. 
Inspired by four different women.
The kind of work you don’t always see but always feel.
This is the beginning.

✨I believed I could, so I did.✨
I don’t know why but it just felt right.
4 More Women was born from color, palms, nature…
and a moment where I stepped into my own vision.

Inspired by Nina Simone’s “Four Women,”
these scents became reflections of our stories:
🌿 Umi — grounded
🔥 Cookie — unapologetic
🏝️ Island Gal — radiant
🖤 Renee — true

Maybe these worlds weren’t meant to collide
but they did, beautifully.
Whether this grows or stays small, it’s mine.
And I’m proud of it. 💫
