✨The Wave of Light✨ Every year on October 15, something beautiful happens around the world.

At 7pm families light a candle in remembrance of babies who have gone too soon. As 7pm reaches each time zone, candles continue to be lit across the world, creating a wave of light.

This year, The Knox & Nash Foundation created something special for this sacred night. Locally made, with our custom scent and poured with love.

A candle to light for the babies we carry in our hearts. The names we will forever say, the little lives that changed ours forever.

Each candle represents more than a flame.
It represents a baby, a family, a love that never ends.

We hope you will join us in this wave of light to honor Knox & Nash, and all of the little legends in the hearts of many families because their light, their love & their legacy will always remain. 💫

Place your candle order today through October 2nd. Local pickup Scents by Design & shipping available! 🫶🪽🪽https://scentsbydesign.com/products/wave-of-light-candles
