A hippy, earthy, smokey, and herbal basket. This category of tarts was starting to pile up in my wax drawer (I store my wax like Jacqui- by scent genres). So I decided what better time to melt some earthy than fall? If there are any you would like reviewed in depth please comment and it would make me happy to do so!



I started lamenting that fact that I really did not have much to explore around my home nature-wise... then I remembered... duh. You have woods in your backyard. Is it like if you see something long enough you forget it is there? Or maybe I just never really thought there could be beauty in a tiny and somewhat urban stretch of trees. 

I was wrong. Thankfully.


So I gained dozens of mosquito bites, a few scratches, and several burrs but I also drank in nature. I tried to ignore the random trash and thorns, but isn't that what we do in life? Choose to ignore the ugly and negative sometimes and focus on the beauty and positive. I need to, at least a little. Or getting through a day is sometimes difficult. 


This weekend brings my in-laws up for a visit, maybe some fall pumpkin something or other baking, and hopefully some reading. My book pile has grown lately. How is your week going? Looking forward to anything?

  1. Enjoy this is a favorite basket of mine. I'm all about A hippy, earthy, smokey, and herbal basket. I'm a incense lover. I think it stems for my mom in her hippy pot smoking yrs :). Enjoy Nag Champa is the truth.

  3. I have wondered what lies behind your home in those woods... besides wandering cows at least. Maybe a squatch? Haha. Sugar and spice marshmallow is soooo good. What a great basket!

    1. I have seen a wolf, a bobcat, a bald eagle, and our resident gopher tortious too. I think they would be a perfect wood for a juvinike skunk ape. I should do my call.....

    1. Thank you!! I think I will try to venture out the remote often. This basket is all about the soothing. Ready to get my chill on.

      I am so excited to be able to partner with The Candle Lab! I am looking forward to really diving into their offerings. Their scent list is excellent.
