Mom + mini-CEO, Caribbean-inspired and full of love. Thanks for the support!

Last night was about more than awards. At by , we were nominees for E‑commerce Brand of the Year and proud sponsors of the Caribbean Scent Experience. We filled the room with our customer fave, Incense Bliss in the form of tea lights at every touchpoint: the tables, bar, bathrooms, and check‑in. The glow, the vibes, the music, the pride, the empowerment and being with our Caribbean community felt like everything.

Then came a beautiful surprise: the Entrepreneurial Spirit Award.

What this means to us:

🔥Championing Caribbean entrepreneurs even when they aren’t in the room, saying their names, sharing their work, connecting them to others, and opening doors.

🔥Helping founders find and trust their voices, telling our stories with truth, innovation, and joy.

🔥Choosing collaboration over competition. We are building together, elevating the Caribbean diaspora, and lifting as we climb.

🔥Creating spaces, opportunities, and visibility so the next generation sees what’s possible.

To the winners and fellow nominees: we celebrate you. To Dr. Grimes, Sarita, and the entire CBN team, thank you for seeing us and for honoring the Caribbean diaspora with such love. To our community and customers: your belief is our fuel. This is only the beginning.

Still riding the momentum from the New Jersey Small Business Summit hosted by the Feliciano Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation at Montclair State University. A full day of learning, real talk, and community, plus so many actionable gems.

Workshops: Building Your Brand on a Budget and Resilience Through Change. Keynote by Lloyd Pearson (LWL) brought the fire. We wrapped with “Getting Ready for the World Cup,” thinking bigger about timing, partnerships, and visibility.

My key takeaways:
- Refine the brand kit and stay consistent.
- Color matters: Orange signals health, happiness, friendliness, energetic fun; Red signals love, excitement, and warmth.
- Lead with authentic storytelling.
- Build the right team, collaborate smart, and be bold and brave.
- Use resources, leverage apps, and plan with partners ahead of major moments.

Grateful for the connections with fellow entrepreneurs and the orgs that support small businesses. Here’s to progressive movement with our community.

Wholesale restock drop‑off ! 📦 I love Jersey City, and Montclair has my heart too. We popped into the beautiful shop at the historic Lackawanna Station to deliver a cozy fall refresh: candles and fragrance oils for their wellness baskets, all infused with Caribbean‑inspired scents that feel warm, grounded, and transportive. Chad (the owner) even wrapped a bouquet for us, proof that this partnership is all heart, craft, and community. If you’re in Montclair, swing by and shop our fall collection.

As a founder, I care about what goes into our products, our packaging, and how they get to you. That’s why I pick up our jars and room and linen spray bottles from a local NJ supplier. It saves shipping, reduces waste, and supports our community. We’re proud to be registered as a sustainable business in New Jersey, and we’re still learning every step of the way. Thanks for cheering us on as we grow more responsibly.

Freshen the bed, love the pet 🐾

Our room and linen sprays are made with an organic witch hazel base and a clean blend of fragrance and essential oils. They’re free of sulfates, parabens, and phthalates, and they’re safe for use on dog beds when used as directed. Fabric only, never on pets.

How to use (as shown in the video):
- Spot test first to check for fabric and pet sensitivities.
- Remove your pet and spray in a well‑ventilated area.
- Light mist: 1–2 sprays depending on bed size.
- Let it dry for 10–15 minutes before your pet returns.

A simple, gentle way to spruce up your home and your pet’s cozy corner.

Note: For fabrics only. Do not spray directly on pets. Keep away from eyes/nose and out of reach of children and animals.

Wellness isn’t a buzzword, it’s a boundary. It’s giving yourself time to come back to your breath and your body. I am easing back into work while navigating my health issues and losing my beloved nephew. Thank you for the patience and love you’ve shown my family. I’m moving gently.

Today looked simple on purpose:

Lighting our Banana Bread candle (my favorite)

Headphones on, favorite playlist (today was all and

A slow sip of my Well-kanda from

Answering emails from customers, wholesale partners, and others

Fulfilling your orders with care

Then a 3‑minute pause with our Wellness Series found on our website: Transformative Air, deep breathing to invite clarity and calm.

If you’re carrying a lot too, choose one small thing: light a candle, put on a song, sip your tea, and breathe. You deserve moments that refill you.

Explore our Wellness Series (3 micro wellness videos) on our site, find it under “Wellness Series.” Save this for your next reset. With gratitude for our Chaconia community.
