🎃🖤 MY FIRST HALLOWEEN PURCHASE FOR 2026! 🖤🎃

And of course, I had to start with something from the amazing ForthOak! 🕯️✨

I picked up a heart, spine and brain for my Halloween candle collection this year — and not only do they look absolutely incredible, they smell DIVINE! 😍

The scents are seriously gorgeous and I cannot wait to have these little spooky beauties burning around the house for Halloween. 🧠🫀🦴🖤

ForthOak makes the most stunning candles, and these are exactly the kind of wonderfully creepy pieces I love!

🛍️ Available on Etsy and from the 1 October, you can also find ForthOak at the Merry Makers Halloween Market with a discount!

🎃 Spooky season has officially begun! 👻🕯️

Slow down Sunday
Deep breaths. In and out, in and out, in and out

Some days feel deeper and harder. Sometimes a simple thing like lighting a candle and taking some deep breaths can help recentre and calm the nervous system. Take a few moments to breathe, and look after you.

Save this for those deeper days

I'm a lover of candles and when I ran my art classes to children, I always had a soy candle burning in a little corner of the studio.

It really creates a soft, welcoming and calm environment, especially for kids who've had a really bad day at school or going through some stress in their lives.

When people ask me what I want as a gift, I usually say "A soy candle please".

So this article by Forth Oak is really interesting for me to discover a little bit about what goes into the practice of hand-poured candles.

My newest candles from @forthoak 😍🩷🧚‍♀️

I was given a personal discount code to purchase, and was #gifted an additional tea light candle, but I wasn’t paid to make this post. I genuinely love their candles, and supporting small business ♥️ I was also given a 10% discount code for friends and family to share with you! ERIN10 (non-affiliate code)

This beautiful crystal candle has rose quartz and is scented with bergamot, jasmine and vanilla 😍 It’s sooo pretty, my husband described the colour as “musk stick pink” and I think that’s a perfect description! 🩷

I also picked up a fairy angel pillar candle in seafoam and I’m in love! So glad I chose the seafoam colour, and chose the bergamot, citrus and sandalwood scent because it’s lovely. I bought this one purely for decor because she’s so beautiful 🧚

Everything was packaged beautifully as always 🥰

There’s something I find so comforting and soothing about candles. They’re beautiful to look at, beautiful to smell and during winter I light one every evening to enjoy.

I absolutely loved seeing so many different makers brought together under one roof. It’s the kind of shop where you can browse slowly, discover new Australian brands and find those special little things you don’t see everywhere else.

And that’s what I love about businesses like this.

I’m in love with this candle! 😍 The yellow is so vibrant and cheerful, and I’m obsessed with the Australian bush scent. You don’t need to even light this candle for the scent to fill the room. It’s fresh, a bit green and reminds me of what a florist shop smells like 💚
