Finding Light in tough times
2025 hasn’t pulled its punches, but I’ve learned that finding light in tough times often starts with the smallest rituals - like lighting a candle. Watching my dad push through setbacks taught me resilience, and today scents like Palo Santo, Verbena Citronella, Black Currant, and Hearthstone remind me to breathe, reset, and carry on. A flicker of flame won’t fix everything, but it can spark calm, hope, and strength.

Today, Gluttony Candles brings that tradition to life with herbaceous scents like Grapefruit Mint and Honey Lavender - modern nods to ancient remedies that soothe, cleanse, and connect us back to the land, one flame at a time.
