February 2022 Newsletter

Hey BLKessence Fam,

Can you believe we made it to February already? This past month, we have grown our BLKessence fam significantly, had our first popup of the year, and have poured and sold over 150 candles! It's still inconceivable to me that we've grown this much since we started in October 2020 and I continue to be deeply grateful. But anyways, if you didn't know already, Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays. Regardless if you're boo'd up or single, the entire premise of Valentine's Day to me is to remember to do something nice for yourself, because you absolutely deserve it! For the month of February, my challenge to myself and to you is to dedicate at least one moment for yourself. Whether it be taking a bubble bath, watching your favorite movie with a glass of wine, baking your fave dessert, or taking yourself out on a date, don't forget to take some time to yourself this month. 

With Love,

 

As many of you already know, BLKessence is a Black woman-owned candle brand. I started BLKessence with the intention to emphasize the importance of self-care as a necessity in our community, rather than a luxury. Black women are often expected to go above and beyond within their families, love life, education, and career, but forget to set aside the time to rest. Although serving as the support for the different aspects in our lives is important, I challenge you to take a step back and prioritize resting. I promise responding to that email can wait!
