Essence & Wick

Essence & Wick In our cozy Iowa home — me, a pot of warm soy wax, and dogs Indie & Murphy, who faithfully nap by my side.

From that simple scene comes every candle and wax melt you’ll find here: hand-poured, phthalate-free, and made with 100% U.S.-sourced soy wax.

FALL MAGIC … all in one jar.

Meet MIDNIGHT APOTHECARY —earthy, mysterious, and basically made for those cool fall nights 🖤

Think peppercorn, clary sage, coriander, moss, patchouli, chamomile + balsam … a little herbal, a little woodsy, and a whole lot of what smells THAT good?!

This is the candle you light when the sun goes down, the cozy blankets come out, and you’re fully embracing the season.

Midnight Apothecary is here. And she’s definitely not boring!

Okay West Forty Market… we see you. 👀🔥
I’ve been wanting to try the jalapeño bacon, and tonight was the night! Cold + rainy called for comfort food — Gouda, sharp cheddar, a fried egg and a very generous portion of bacon. 😋🥓
If you haven’t tried West Forty Market yet, add it to your local foodie list. Go support a local business — and thank me later. ❤️

Rowan and Silas stopped by to sniff out some candles today…

And when Silas found his favorite… his face said it ALL. 😂

I think we have a future candle connoisseur on our hands!

Sea Salt & Orchid. Silas approved.

Hurry … WE CAN’T KEEP THIS ONE IN STOCK!

Auntie Kaitlyn’s Apple Pie was the very first scent we ever poured when we started this little business. To see it still flying off the shelves and becoming one of your favorites means more than I can put into words.

So… another fresh batch was poured this morning! 🕯️🥧

Thank you for every purchase, every restock request, and every “when will Auntie Kaitlyn’s Apple Pie be back?” You’re the reason I keep pouring it! ❤️

✨ RESTOCK COMING SOON! ✨

If you’ve been waiting for Auntie Kaitlyn’s Apple Pie, don’t wait too long after it hits the shelves — this one never lasts!

Thank you for loving this little piece of where Essence & Wick began. ❤️

Thrilled to be collaborating with Pop Up Bookstore at Odd Mama's! Stop by and check it out!
