✨🍸 Hand-poured with love, calm, and a little bit of luxury.

These beauties were made for the girls who romanticize slow mornings, cozy nights, soft music, and self-care moments that feel like therapy. 🤍 The delicate lavender topping paired with this blush pink glass gives the perfect mix of elegance and comfort — almost too pretty to burn… almost. 🥰

Every candle I create for Candles por Carla is handmade with intention, designed to make your space feel warm, peaceful, and inviting. There’s something special about lighting a candle after a long day and letting the scent completely shift your mood. ✨

I wanted these to be calming, and timeless — like a little luxury sitting in your home. 🌸

Thank you for supporting my small business and watching my work slowly come to life, one candle at a time. Your support truly means everything to me. 🫶🏼

Would you light this in your bedroom, bathroom, or living room? 👀💭

Introducing Candle’s by Carla ✨ inspired by my time in #Philadelphia where I learned to make candles while working at a shop and not knowing what was coming next. My passion stems from #sustainability and #creativity and the ability to make something that a lot of people tend to crave for aka a lovely smell. 🤍

If you like and comment on this post I will sell the candle to you for $5 dollars less of the price!

Big candles are $30 and small lavender candle is $17. I have candles that are of eucalyptus, lavender and tee tree sent. DM ME IF INTERESTED IN BUYING! (shipping not included in pricing).

This year didn’t wrap quietly, it showed its work. 👏

Partnerships built on trust, not trends

Proof that inclusive marketing drives real performance

Clients willing to test, learn, and evolve inside a changing search and media landscape

At Orange 142 , we didn’t chase shiny objects. We worked inside the shift.
AI-driven discovery. Smarter audience segmentation. More intentional content decisions.

One thing became very clear this year:
Visibility is no longer just about ranking, it’s about being referenced.

As search and discovery move deeper into AI-generated answers, the brands and destinations that win won’t be the loudest — they’ll be the most authoritative.

2026 is already taking shape, and it’s less about doing more
and more about engineering visibility on purpose.

Grateful for a fun, authentic and forward thinking year.

Still riding the high from the Rocky Run in Philly 🥊
So proud of my sister for crushing her first half marathon, and so glad I got to see my girl Carla out there — nothing like race day energy in this city.

And listen — screw the haters who say Philly isn’t friendly. The crowd was electric. People were cheering for total strangers, hyping each other up, handing out high-fives like candy. Philly doesn’t fake it — if we’re cheering for you, it’s because we actually want to see you win.

Now that the pleasantries are over,: it’s called the Rocky Run, not the Rocky Walk. 😅
If you’re not sure of your pace, start slower and surprise yourself — don’t line up front and stop a mile in. It’s not cool, it’s not safe, and please go to the side if you need to stop or have an injury. Respect the run, respect the other runners. 🏁

Starting over is the hardest shit to do in life. Leaving Charleston at the end of this month wasn’t in the plans, but such is van life when those wheels decide they don’t want to turn any more.

I’m actively looking for a new gig in the following places: Milwaukee(home), San Francisco, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, Miami, Charlotte, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, and New York City because I wouldn’t have an immediate need for a vehicle and can relay on public transit or biking. I’m open to roles outside of those areas if there’s solid transit/bike paths, but those are my top spots for relocation. To my friends in those places, if you got leads on jobs(especially in nonprofit/outdoor/sports/events/hotels) holler at ya boy!

During the last 20+ months, I’ve done a lot here in the south. I’ve gone to film festivals, concerts, and art shows; started writing poetry again, hit the road to a bunch of places from DC to Florida, made friends that I’ve laughed and cried with, found some sick seashells, and drank some good beers over even better conversations.

But the highlight of my time in CHS is the obvious: my time with @charlestonsurfrider and the relationships created on Folly Beach. From early(ish) mornings to get pre-work stoke at 3Dub and 4E, clearing out thousands of pounds of trash from our coasts and creeks, to supporting other incredible folks and their respective missions(S/O the homies @warriorsurf , @caminocaffeino ,and @shes_on_edge ) to blend surfing into making a positive impact on people’s lives has been an absolute privilege. It fucking sucks to leave that infective energy behind.

Wherever the rest of this journey goes I’ll be doing my best to face it with gratitude, despite the uncertainty that lays ahead.

New darts on the map being thrown. LL Rosetta 🕊️🚐
