Where Have I Been?

As always with this blog, Ive been terrible at keeping to a regular posting schedule...which is completely okay, I never want to put pressure on myself to post and turn this into something that I never wanted it to be - a second job. However, I wanted to give you all a little update on where I've been and what I've been up to as it's rather exciting! 

For the past few months now I've been working to develop my very own scented candle brand - Nest Candle Co. It's been something I've wanted to do for years but my other time commitments {university, moving to a new city, new jobs} have always left me putting it to the back of my mind, but this year I wanted to stop putting things off and jump in head first. 

It's been quite a long process testing scents, working out which wax would work the best and burn the cleanest, working on packaging, branding, shipping, etc but we're SO close to being able to launch now {we're hoping for mid-April!} that I wanted to share a few snaps of what I've created and some of the scents we've picked. 

So without further ado, here are the scents which will form the core collection and our Summer collection...

The core collection: 

Vanille - A french vanilla scent which smells just like sweet vanilla ice cream. 

Fireside - A smokey, woody scent reminiscent of a crackling wood fire on a cold evening. 

Bouquet - A true floral scent with layers of peony and rose. 

Sleepy - Lavender and Camomile to send you off into the land of nod. 

Fairydust - A powdered floral scent perfect for those with a feminine aesthetic. 

The summer collection: 

Soleil - A warm tropical scent with hints of coconut and citrus fruit. 

Maison de Plage - Blue agava flower blended with notes of cacao and grapefruit. 

I will be posting updates when I next have them with where you can buy the candles and when we will be launching, but I hope you're all equally as excited as I am for this little project of mine!
