Yes, I know I look tired 😂🕯️ But I’m never too tired to share a candle tip!
Did you know your first burn matters? Giving your candle enough time to create a full melt pool helps prevent tunneling and lets you enjoy more of that beautiful wax. ✨

Aim for about 3 hours on that first burn—your candle will thank you! 💛

✨ Kindness is FREE! ✨

A little personal moment from my day. 💛

I went swimming today, and there was an older woman swimming next to me who was really good! I remember thinking, “I hope I can swim like her when I’m her age!” 🏊‍♀️

Later, after I showered and got dressed, she came up to me and told me that I swam really well. 🥹 I smiled and thanked her, but inside I was thinking… wow, SHE looked so strong too!

Such a simple comment, but it genuinely made me happy. It reminded me how one small, kind comment can completely brighten someone’s day. 💛

So I want to pass that kindness along to YOU. Did someone say something kind to you today? If not, say something kind about yourself in the comments. I’d love to hear it! 🫶🤟

Kindness is free. Let’s keep passing it around. ✨

💛 Small things are still care. 💛

After my LIVE conversation with Naima from DeafMentalHealthHub, I wanted to share a little more about Trace Essence (TE) and how it connects to what we discussed: slowing down, connecting with others, sharing resources, and finding small practices that help us move through the day.

Trace Essence is my Deaf-owned small business where I handcraft candles, soaps, and other self-care products with the hope of creating small moments that encourage us to pause and care for ourselves. 🕯️🧼✨

Community care doesn’t always have to be something big. It can be lighting a candle and giving yourself permission to slow down. Taking a warm shower with a soap you enjoy. Checking in on someone. Sharing a helpful resource. Or giving something thoughtful to someone who could use a little comfort. 💛

TE products can become one small part of those everyday rituals—whether you’re creating that moment for yourself, gifting it to someone you care about, or sharing TE with someone who may benefit from creating their own self-care ritual.

I’m grateful to Naima and DeafMentalHealthHub for creating space for conversations about mental health, accessibility, connection, and community care within our Deaf community. 🤟🏽🤟💚

Because sometimes community care really does begin with something small.

✨ Slow down. Connect. Share. Care.
