While I loved creating candles and soaps, it wasn’t where my heart truly was so I’m moving away them and focusing on what “sparks joy” for me.

Sooooooo…..everything candle and soap will be 50% off! I even added products that had not been released yet like mini candles.

You can buy a little or a lot 😉 but, regardless save along the way.

I’ll go first. I struggle with not automatically providing solutions if no one asked, specifically with regard to my kids. As the adult and parent, for the most part “Ive been there done that”. It’s so hard to not jump in and solve a problem or provide a solution when I already know (in my mind) that there is a better way to do x,y and z. But I know his brain works different from mine as he’s neurospicy and he can arrive at the same destination using his own thought process to get there. I just have to let him do it. But ooooo….is it hard! But I’m getting better…I think. 😩🤣

Sometimes the business you started with is not the one you end up pursuing.

While I’ve loved all iterations of my business, it always felt I was forcing that particular path and not letting the journey guide me to what was next.

But now, I’m moving towards things I truly enjoy + align with who I am and have always been. So while you may see some products that I sold previously (planners and journals) others are going away for good (candles, soaps, butters….you naaaaaame it 😜).

So I’m ready to enjoy the ride, make a little money and be like Usher and do it my way!

My soap drawer. I haven’t made it to soap rack levels…yet. But it’s still so pretty with all the colors and textures.

While you’re busy taking care of other people make sure to include yourself in the mix mkay?

Hit the gym this morning with our Good to Great Fitness Planner because y’all this fluff isn’t going to disappear on its own.

Hitting the gym used to be my top form of selfcare after having my first kid. But then when I tried to to turn it into a career as a personal trainer I became burned out and eventually quit. Since then the gym and I have had a live hate relationship with consistency nonexistent. But as I get older the desire for me to not experience health issues due to my own choices and be active to travel and play with any future grandkids I may have, I’m trying to get it right.

So for me that means planning my gym days + workouts, being more conscience of what I eat and doing things for me that make my soul glow.

•Do what you can with what you have•

Don’t throw out your candle jars after you’ve burned all the wax. Our containers can easily be repurposed into pencil/pen cup holders, jewelry holder or on this case, home decor. Don’t let a good jar go to waste!

I think I love more than candles. Well almost more…. They’re so cute and I love watching them melt. It’s relaxing.

I like them plain but I think adding a little color will give them some oomph.

That’s it. That’s the post. Conduct yourself accordingly.

About to start this new year + first day of the week journaling in our Dream Journal because I have thoughts about last year and visions for this year.

There was a point in my life where I had goals and actually met them. But over time as became more entrenched in the responsibilities of life, I let the things I enjoyed fall by the way side instead of finding a way to incorporate it all. Because I’d that I’ve been angry, sad, F it all, defeated and at times hopeful that life won’t be like this always.

Through journaling I have the conversations that I feel I can’t have with the people I need to until I’m ready to speak without cussing them out, I mull over my childhood and the experiences that shaped me but working to break free from so as not to pass that on to my kids. I wrote about what happiness and love looks like for me. I write my dreams, hurts and then try to my best to give it over to God. But I’m finding that harder to do as I feel like he’s left me on read for years. Le sigh…

This year I’m dreaming of more connection, freedom to be more of me, building a business that creates a change in people to “put their oxygen mask on first” and have adventures with those who matter most to me.

The start of 2023 is already looking kind of nice…

This is currently one of my favorite candle vessels to date. We have another one that’s coming soon that will definitely add a little razzle dazzle to your desk or shelf. But for now, little pineapples filled with what will become some of your favorite scents is where it’s at.

I know you’ve the same bar of that you grew up using because it’s familiar. It’s not terrible but it’s not exactly great either. Remember what I said earlier about living well. I meant that in every way including the care you take of your skin.

Here at Cale + Simone we make soap. REAL soap. Oils, butters, lye and water. We don’t remove the glycerin that naturally occurs in the soap making process that serves as a humectant (draws moisture in). We create in small batches to help maintain quality control. But most importantly make it a little fun so bath time is an enjoyable time any time of the day.
