SoâŚ
We should probably talk about the elephant in the room. đ
Yes⌠The Magick Shoppe is becoming The Celestial Mami.
Whether youâve been here since Friendly Brown Hottie or found me through The Magick Shoppe, this is for you.
Over the past few months youâve probably noticed things changing around here. New name. New logo. And maybe a little more of me. I just never really explained why.
It honestly started with my health. I had to step away for a while, and as I slowly got better, something unexpected happened.
I didnât have the same drive to make candles anymore. And honestly, I didnât want to.
That was really hard for me to admit because I genuinely loved making them. After a lot of baby steps, conversations with friends, an intuitive career coach, and honestly just sitting with myself, I came to one conclusion:
I wasnât really a shop anymore.
I didnât want products to be the center of what I was creating. I wanted to get back to what I loved before I ever started making candles: learning, exploring, writing, and sharing what I discovered.
At first I thought maybe that meant going back to Friendly Brown Hottie.
But honestly⌠that name didnât fit anymore either.
Friendly Brown Hottie came from a season of my life after having my son. I didnât really feel like myself, so I named my blog after the woman I was trying to become. I wanted to manifest feeling confident, beautiful, and honestly⌠hot again. đ
And Iâm happy to sayâŚ
I think she did exactly what she was supposed to do.
The Celestial Mami feels like a space that reflects who I am today, while leaving room for who Iâm still becoming. It gives me room to share everything I naturally spend my time learning about⌠or whatever rabbit hole Iâm down that week.
The shop is taking a little pause while I figure out whatâs next.
If you want the full story behind why I made this decision, Iâm sharing it over on my Substack, The Soft Life. đ¤
One last thingâŚ
If youâre reading this from Friendly Brown Hottie, thank you. Iâll be archiving this account over the next couple of weeks, but you can find me over at celestial mami.
Thank you for being here through every season. đ¤
