About Us

Hello Lovely! I’m Amy.

Mum, teacher, counsellor, and self-care advocate. Also a big fan of reading endlessly, fish tacos, and a good margarita.

Coming from a career where burnout is one of the most common problems, there is always an emphasis on the importance of self-care and “filling your cup”.

The problem? No one actually has time for it.

The solution? Candles that bring calm, beauty, and a touch of scent to even the busiest moments.

I’ve always been surrounded by women who give their all - and rarely slow down.

Teachers, mothers, carers, business owners. All ambitious. All passionate. And all so good at putting themselves last.

I’ve been there myself, and I saw it in the women around me. It’s what led me to further study in counselling and coaching - to really understand the cost of burnout, and what it takes to care for ourselves in a way that actually works.

Because self-care shouldn’t feel like another thing on the list. It should feel doable, real, and worth it.

CLC started as something small - a creative project with my daughters

But the more we poured and tested candles together, the more I realised scent isn’t just fragrance. It’s a way to shift the mood of a room, bring back a memory, or make even an ordinary moment feel different.

I wanted to blend that power with what I knew about psychology and self-care. I experimented, refined, and studied the effects of scent on emotion and memory.

It wasn’t about making any old candle. It was about creating something you’d actually want in your home - something beautiful, intentional, and designed to make you feel good whenever you needed it.

Self-care and you

I know what it’s like to always be busy, to keep pushing your own needs to the bottom of the list. To feel guilty for taking even a moment to breathe.

I was that woman too. Until I realised something simple: when I take care of myself, everyone around me benefits.

Because self-care isn’t selfish. It’s what lets us show up fully - for our families, our work, and most importantly, for ourselves.

My hope is that our candles and scents help you take those moments. That you give yourself permission to slow down, to create small rituals that feel good and keep that spark alive in your day.
