This time last year, we were in the middle of our biggest ever cash flow crisis.
I remember posting this photo of myself crying on Stories and telling you exactly what was happening.
You basically said “not on my watch” and showed up for us in a way I’ll never forget.
Little did we know, that was just the beginning 😂
The 12-months that followed:
→ August 2025: We lost access to our Garden Candle jars, which had been making up almost 50% of our summer revenue.
→ November: The community centre our studio was based in flooded.
→ April 2026: Our coffee cup supplier went into administration and suddenly our bestselling product was disappearing.
→ Two weeks later: We were told we needed to leave our studio and find a new home.
There were so many moments where I genuinely wondered how many more curveballs a small business could take 😂
But throughout all of it, one thing stayed consistent: you kept showing up.
And today, it finally feels like we’ve come full circle.
Our Coffee Cup Candles are BACK. ☕️
We’re in our new studio, we’re working directly with Costa Nova in Portugal, and the product we genuinely thought we might have to say goodbye to is officially back for good.
Last night, 400+ of you got Early Access.
And today at 6PM, the full collection officially launches - including our brand new Mocha Coffee Cup Candle. ☕️
A year ago, I was crying on Instagram wondering how we were going to get through our biggest cash flow crisis.
Today, I’m sitting in our new studio preparing to relaunch our bestselling collection.
What a bloody year.
Thank you for getting us through it.
Here’s to the comeback ☕️
