You know our soaps.
You know our candles.
But maybe you don’t know us. 🤍

We finally put our story into words.

From two sisters 250 miles apart, to a family business inspired by our Filipino heritage, our experiences with sensitive skin, childhood memories brought back by familiar scents, and a love of making things by hand.

Our new website is live—and now, you can meet the makers behind Ives & Bees.

Come say hi. 😊✨

🍂 Happy First Day of Fall! 🍂

There’s something about the first day of fall that makes us want to slow down, light a candle, and get cozy. 🕯️

We take pride in hand-pouring each of our candles, and how fitting that our Leaves Candle is hand-poured into a handcrafted wooden bowl—one of our favorites for the season. With warm notes of brown sugar, caramel syrup, toasted cane sugar, and whipped vanilla, it’s basically fall in a candle. ✨

Even here in Miami, we’re embracing all the fall feels! 🍁🌴😊

Leaves is available now on our website—just in time for fall! 🛍️

Who else is ready for cozy candle season? ✨

A little something beautiful to start your Monday. 🤎

We’re always on the lookout for beautiful pieces that celebrate Filipino craftsmanship, and this one stole our hearts. 🥰👜

This heart-shaped bag is handmade in the Philippines from rattan, featuring the traditional Solihiya weaving style—a beautiful woven pattern that has been part of Filipino craftsmanship for generations.

And yes… she’s coming to our website soon! 👀✨

Would you carry this little piece of 🇵🇭 craftsmanship? ❤️

✨ We’re officially at Bukas Cafe!

We’re so excited to share that you can now find Ives & Bees at Bukas Café in Queens! 💛

We’re bringing our Filipino Heritage Collection Minis to the café—little candles + soaps featuring scents inspired by the Philippines: Sampaguita, Narra, Pinya & Calamansi. 🇵🇭🌿

There’s something extra special about seeing our products in a Filipino-owned space, especially in New York—a place we’ve spent so much time in and have so many memories of. 🥹❤️ It really feels like a full-circle moment for us.

And we have to give a BIG thank you to Angel and Anna for being so welcoming and wonderful to work with! 🫶 We had such a great time this Sunday finally meeting you both in person, your amazing staff, and all of your customers. Everyone made us feel right at home!

So next time you’re at Bukas Cafe for your coffee, pastries, and melts, stop by and check out the Ives & Bees goodies on the shelf! ☕️🕯️🧼

Salamat, Bukas Cafe, for welcoming Ives & Bees! We’re so happy to be part of your space and can’t wait to see where this partnership takes us. 💛

PUSONG PINOY. 🇵🇭❤️
Watching Alexandra Eala take the court at the US Open and being the 1st Filipina to make it all the way to the third round has been such an exciting and proud moment for Filipinos everywhere.

And even though her US Open run has come to an end, what a run it was. 👏🏼
Seeing Filipinos cheering her on, waving 🇵🇭 flags, and proudly showing up— it’s truly special.

Cheering
Celebrating
Showing up
That’s Pusong Pinoy. 🇵🇭

It feels especially meaningful to us because our Pusong Pinoy T-shirt was designed by Vanessa’s daughter—a young Filipina American who created something that represents pride, love, and heritage.

Watching young Filipinos like Alex and seeing the next generation proudly express their own Filipino identity—is exactly what Pusong Pinoy means to us.

Keep inspiring, keep representing and keep honoring your Pusong Pinoy.
