I realized at the end of lunch today that my server’s name was Esperanza. It felt like a nudge to let hope in (as I’d been pushing it down for a while). Then I got home and saw this on my feed. Hope, it is. Message received (and shared), universe!
Today's Message 💚

Have you ever had trouble loving yourself, like, *truly* loving yourself? I think we all have, at least from time to time. But sometimes we feel so far from self-love that we feel like we may never get there. My thoughts on this are now in my website’s blog, along with one of the many things that helped pull me out of my darkest time. (link in bio)

Sometimes there’s so much cheer in the air that pastry overproofs. 🥐🦔 Happy Boxing Day!

The formulas for every custom scent created at Escentuelle are kept on file so a new bottle can be ordered at any time. It’s such a joy to blend and whiff these beauties again—sometimes as often as every Christmas! What scent would you prefer as a gift?

A floral herbal tea I bought in Paris this time last year and a piece of butterscotch shortbread I made over the weekend are just what my soul needs as I watch the first wintry mix out my window. What is your favorite cold weather drink?

I haven’t been woo on here for a while, but I’m feeling called to share my heart today.
Despite the cooling temps and shorter days, I’m feeling like the heavy blanket that’s covered my life the last few years is being lifted. There’s definitely lighter energy in the atmosphere, hinting at fresh beginnings and dreams being renewed.
I’m hoping part of it is being here, with you, much more regularly and on a deeper level.
It’s all new again. Believe it. Embrace it. Stoke its fire.

It’s so easy to get caught up in the worries of the moment and lose sight of the larger picture. When we open ourselves to possibility, to universal spirit, to love, we connect to what we really want: belief in ourselves, hope in the future, forward motion, and truly living while we’re “alive.” I’m wishing these things for you.

The mind can play tricks on us, telling us lies, keeping us safe from perceived danger, holding grudges. But the heart always speaks the truth. So when you’re struggling with a choice, wondering whether the anxiety is due to a potential bad decision or the excitement of trying something new, ask your heart. The pure love there will show you your truth.

They’re starting to harvest verbena in Grasse. I can smell with lemony greenness from here. 😍

When I first opened my doors, I thought my business would be about perfume. But I’ve discovered it’s about so much more.
The amazing guests who’ve come to my studio over the years have shared so much of their lives and dreams with me. They’re full of fond memories, determination, and hope for the future. Their custom perfumes are not only composed of ingredients they love, they’re a celebration of who they truly are.
Alongside Escentuelle, I’ve been an active leader in local organizations dedicated to women in business while pursuing my own personal development. I see so much promise in each woman I encounter, as well as a need to bring their gifts to light and celebrate who they are. Because the world needs them.
And the world needs what only you can give. In short, the world needs YOU.
In 2019 I decided to bring these themes together in unique ways--custom perfume experiences, one-of-a-kind jewelry, and education--to encourage creativity, inclusion, and empowerment.
I hope you’re here to take the first step on the By Carolyn Dunne journey to Dream > Seek > Achieve > Celebrate.
