Summer is the perfect time to slow down, recharge, and prioritize self-care, especially for those with busy schedules. Whether you're a teacher, service worker, stay-at-home parent, or remote worker, taking care of yourself is essential for overall well-being. At Lux+Soul Candle Co, we believe in enhancing your self-care routine with the soothing ambiance of our handcrafted candles. Here are five simple and effective ways to practice self-care this summer:
1. Create a Daily Ritual: Start your day with a mindful ritual that sets a positive tone. Whether it's sipping your morning coffee or tea while enjoying the flicker of a Lux+Soul candle or spending a few minutes journaling, carve out time for yourself before diving into your daily responsibilities.
2. Prioritize Sleep: Quality sleep is vital for your physical and mental health. Establish a relaxing bedtime routine by dimming the lights, unwinding with a book or gentle stretching, and filling your space with the calming scent of Lavender Vanilla or Eucalyptus Mint candles from Lux+Soul Candle Co.
3. Get Outside: Take advantage of the longer days and warmer weather by spending time outdoors. Whether it's a leisurely walk in nature, a picnic at the park, or simply lounging in your backyard, connecting with nature can help reduce stress and improve your mood.
4. Practice Mindfulness: Incorporate moments of mindfulness into your day, even amidst a busy schedule. Take short breaks to breathe deeply, meditate, or simply pause and appreciate the present moment. Pair these moments with the gentle glow of a Lux+Soul candle to create a serene atmosphere.
5. Connect with Loved Ones: Summer is the perfect time to nurture relationships and connect with loved ones. Whether it's scheduling a virtual coffee date with a friend, planning a family BBQ, or enjoying a romantic evening with your partner, prioritize quality time with those who uplift and support you.

Lux+Soul in Peru!

Peru owes me nothing! So here’s a little background of my latest adventure. I was selected as an NEA Foundation Global Learning Fellow in 2019 right before COVID. I was one of 43 teachers chosen across the country to represent their state. It was such a huge honor. I was so surprised that I, a dance teacher at a middle school, was chosen to represent Arkansas! Humbling!!! We were set to do a field study in the summer of 2020 but it was postponed due to the pandemic. We were finally able to make our big trip this month and it was 10 days of life changing experiences! Lima, Cusco, the town of Misminay, Macchu Pichu and the Sacred Valley, the food, the people, the beautiful landscapes and of course the amazing culture and history…mind blowing! This video is a very small snippet of my adventure. I was able to grab a few beautiful treasures at the markets of Cusco that I will be featuring on the website! Hit that notifications button for first notice of the Peruvian candle collection coming soon! See video here: Lux in Peru
I’m So Excited About Being A Business Owner!
Dance has been my whole life...hobby, career, past time, you name it. COVID forced me to reflect and make the decision to step outside of my comfort zone and create something different.
Dance has been my whole life...hobby, career, past time, you name it. COVID forced me to reflect and make the decision to step outside of my comfort zone and create something different. I love candles. I looked around my home and saw so many empty candle vessels in my home and since many of my fave stores were closed at one point and I was too scared to leave my home, I ventured into making my own. They turned out amazing! As I continued to create and also succumb to the norm of being at home all the time, I learned to enjoy my own space. It’s amazing what a good candle, cute pajamas, and a pretty wine glass of your fave wine or a stylish mug of you fave tea could do to you! My life was sooooo busy that I lost myself and sense of self care. Lux+Soul was created based upon my life...a busy soul who wants to take time to reset and enjoy their own space...to create a haven of self care so that you can recharge and then go back out to conquer the world. If you’re that person, take a look at my website www.shopluxsoul.com and tell me what you think. I hope to be apart of your journey of self care and self love...it would be an honor !
