Keep Planning, Stay Productive

Happy Monday to you! It's been a little while since I've checked in, so I wanted to say hello and thank you for continuing to support Luminate 365 Candles.

Behind every candle is a process that starts by hand, from selecting materials to pouring, finishing, and preparing each piece with care. Quality has always been at the center of what I do, and that's what makes Luminate 365 Candles different. These aren't mass-produced products. They're artisan candles created with attention to detail and made to help bring warmth, comfort, and beauty into your space.

If you haven't visited recently, my website is fully up and running. You can browse available collections, place custom orders, and inquire about group orders for events, gifts, celebrations, and special occasions.

While you're there, take a few minutes to explore the blog, where I share candle care tips, inspiration, behind-the-scenes insights, and what goes into creating quality handmade candles.

Thank you for supporting small business and handmade craftsmanship. I can't wait to share what's coming next.

Before Luminate 365 Candles was even a real idea, these were the candles that started everything.

The Plan Everyday Bubble Candles were originally made for my Plan Everything 365 brand as a simple productivity candle. Something fun to keep on your desk while planning, working, journaling, or resetting for the week. I honestly didn’t expect them to take off the way they did.

But people kept asking for more colors, more styles, more drops. What started as one small idea slowly turned into its own thing, and that’s how Luminate 365 Candles was born.

Being a mom means giving love even on the tired days.

It means showing up, staying strong, and finding light in the middle of everyday life.

Sometimes peace looks like a quiet moment, a deep breath, and the glow of a candle after a long day.

Today, I want to celebrate every mother, grandmother, bonus mom, and mother figure who keeps pouring love into others, even when no one sees how much it takes.

From Luminate 365 Candles, thank you for being the light in so many lives. 🕯️Happy Mother’s Day to all the mommas out there.

May the Fourth Be With You! 🌌🕯️

​You may find yourself navigating the perilous reaches of the Outer Rim or simply decompressing in your own private sector of the galaxy, today serves as a monumental tribute to the enduring legacy of the Star Wars saga.

​I maintain the firm conviction that every domestic sanctuary and professional environment warrants an infusion of positive "Force" and luminous warmth. To commemorate the occasion, my wooden wicks are crackling in rhythmic precision and my soy wax is prepared for a day of artisanal tribute. So if your allegiances lie with the Rebellion, the Empire, or you simply admire the celestial expanse, let Luminate 365 Candles collectively illuminate the day.

​Even the most disciplined Storm Trooper requires a momentary reprieve from their duties. After all, maintaining order across the stars is exhausting work. We have them covered, even if their aim is notoriously wide of the mark, our scents hit the target every single time.

​My Personal Observance:

​The Light Side: Invoking tranquility within the studio by diffusing ethereal floral and botanical aromatics.

​The Dark Side: Embracing the sophisticated, atmospheric depth of our hearth-inspired artisanal collections.

​The Balance: Sustaining the "Force" of creative momentum through the meticulous creation of new seasonal batches.

​May the Fourth be with you all!

Some days feel aligned. Clear. Like everything is finally working the way you needed it to.

And some days? You’re just getting through. Showing up anyway. Holding it together in quiet ways no one else really sees. Both count.

There is no version of your life where you have to earn rest, peace, or softness by only thriving. Surviving is not a failure, it’s proof that you didn’t give up.

So if today feels heavy, slow, or uncertain… let it be what it is. Light something that reminds you to pause. To breathe. To come back to yourself.

Because no matter what kind of day it is:

You’re still here.

You’re still becoming.

You’re still shining in your own way.

All days, we luminate. ✨

Reset With Purpose

There are days when my mind feels full, overloaded, stretched, and in need of space to breathe.

On those days, I’ve learned something important: Don’t burn out your mind.

Instead, burn your candle.

Light it as a pause. A signal. A gentle way to move through what you are carrying without letting it consume us.

Create a place to slow down, to ground, to think more softly with yourself.

I made this as a reminder that rest doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s just light, breath, and intention.

Protect your mind.

Let the candle help you reset, so you can keep moving forward with clarity and purpose.

❤️ What helps you reset your mind when things feel heavy?

​He is Risen!

The Lumina Holy Cross Candle is a quiet reminder of faith, hope, and the strength you lean on when life feels heavy. Shaped like a cross, it’s designed to be a steady presence in your space and in your daily routine.

Place it on your nightstand, desk, or prayer corner. Light it during devotion, journaling, Bible study, or when you just need a few minutes to pause and breathe. The soft glow creates a calm atmosphere that helps you slow down and reflect.

It also makes a meaningful gift for baptisms, Easter, First Communion, Confirmation, or for someone walking through a season where they need encouragement and prayer.

Simple. Faith-centered. Grounding.

The Luminate Everyday Peony Candle is inspired by a real peony in bloom, with detailed petals and a full, fresh look. Customize your colors and scent to match your style. A lasting floral piece for gifts, centerpieces, or everyday beauty.

Texas friends, with the inclement weather moving through, I hope you’re staying safe, warm, and looking out for one another. Nights like this are meant for slowing down, staying in, and finding small moments of calm.

A gentle glow can make a space feel steadier. A candle on the table, by the bath, or in a quiet room can bring a sense of comfort when the outside feels unsettled. That’s the heart behind Luminate 365, hand-poured candles made to burn clean, glow softly, and last through long evenings. Just smooth wax, steady light, and a warmth that feels intentional.

Please take care, Texas 🤍
