It's been a long time coming but 𝕾𝖞𝖒𝖕𝖍𝖔𝖓𝖔𝖘 𝖛𝖔𝖑. 𝖎𝖎 𝕮𝖆𝖓𝖉𝖑𝖊𝖘 is here, in full force.

This collection is inspired by tunes with themes of release, longing, empowerment, and introspection. Feelings are meant to be felt, not thought about. With these candles, we hope it helps you navigate through your psyche ❤️‍🔥

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your personal journey. I never really thought that our candles would touch this many lives when I first launched in earlier this year. I am deeply grateful for each and every one of you.

2021 was truly a ride for all of us, yet here you are. You have ridden the tides well, and that in itself is a feat. May you treat the new year as a clean slate, free of baggage. Lastly, don't forget to breathe deeply and bask under the dance of light and shadow.

Happy new year!

ps. Full shop restock coming soon and Good Days and The Altar will be coming back 🤍✨

Reclaim your rest with Holocene. It's that time of the year where days pass by so fast, rest might be something a lot of us is not prioritizing. Here's a reminder to take it slow. Days will pass, but what matters most is what lies ahead.

Thank you so SO much for giving Moonstruck a lot of love! In 2 days, there will be a New Moon in Scorpio. Scorpio is a transformative sign, so watch out on anything that may come up. It may feel rocky but kow that it's for your highest good. May everyone who got one use it for their manifesting rituals 🌑

Moonstruck will be restocked by the second week of November.

It’s Monday, the day the Moon rules. 𝐌𝐎𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐂𝐊 has arrived.

Moonstruck is a homage to how every single one of us has a unique experience and connection to the moon, we are all made from the same stardust after all.

The Moon has been used as a muse in different genres such as poetry, music, film, and more. It’s irresistible to not have our own take. How can someone resist something as divine as the Moon?

I was in 11th grade when me and my friends decided to join a college event in our university. We really didn’t know if we were allowed to join, but heck it was nighttime and we were still bustling with energy. The college provided a bunch of telescopes directed at the night’s Full Moon! The night was cool and the Moon was out in all her glory. I waited my turn and finally took a peek through the telescope’s lens. Since then, my connection to the Moon only strengthened. It was a fleeting moment, but it stuck. Struck with the Moon’s enchanting sight. I was moonstruck.

With this candle, we hope to evoke the feeling you get whilst moon gazing, that feeling of being lost in reverie after beholding such sight. We hope for you to revisit your memories with the Moon through us.

𝐌𝐎𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐂𝐊 is infused with labradorite, a gemstone known for its bright flashes of iridescent color. Don't be fooled by this stone's mesmerizing beauty, as it is powerful and can aid you in your troubles!

Labradorite is the stone for New Moon rituals. This stone is very aligned with the Divine Feminine and the Dark Moon. During New Moons, we are faced with new beginnings, transformations, and an opportunity to manifest dreams. You can use labradorite for that. Keep it in your space with the intention of it assisting and amplifying your desires and transformation.

Just like the Moon, we undergo phases and changes. This may throw some of us in an unbalanced loop, and this can make us feel like we're struck by adversities. Labradorite imparts strength and can banish fears and self-doubt, all while balancing scattered energy. A reminder to take a breather when things get overwhelming.

DISCLAIMER: Not all Moonstruck candles will have labradorite that has strong flashes. Sadly not all stones will look the same, though they have the same energy nevertheless. 🌑

Finally dropping a new scent next week! 🌑🔮 Very excited to introduce it to everyone, as it is one of our most specially crafted candle in our line up. Releasing a new scent is tough, so we only do it once in a blue moon ✨ We will also be doing a small restock for the OGs!

Not only the Sun can light paths.

It's the day when the Sun rules. It's my solar return and Solar Power is finally back in stock!
🔆 Really happy to be able to share this candle with more people as it is very dear to me. Lorde has always been there for me since Pure Heroine, and it's pretty cool how every album she releases coincides with what's going on in my life. Solar Power basically sums up what I've been through after Melodrama.

Ending my teenage years during the pandemic got me rethinking on what I wanted to do /right now/ because the future is never promised. It's been a very introspective journey and being in isolation for several months made me stay in my lane, and made me dive through my innerworkings. During that period, I decided that I wanted to heal. Through healing, I discovered spirituality and the rest is history. We're still healing up in here but I feel that it's my turn to help you on your journey through our candles.

The months are getting colder, may Solar Power give you the warmth you need. Also, please the crystals well! They were charged during the Full Moon in Pisces (my lunar return) we love a full circle moment lol. That's all I hope u made it to the end of the post pls comment ⚖️ if u did.

Out now! Starting today, all orders above PHP 1500 will get a free banner tote bag featuring umbra & illumia's tagline. You can also get it for PHP 250!

Most of us don't really go out but you can hang it on your wall and it can become a daily affirmation you can recite.

On sustainability.
— There are articles stating that tote bags are just as bad as single use plastic due to how it's manufactured. With that said, these tote bags will not be sold (until we find a new supplier who uses recycled textiles, if you know one, hit us up!) once they're out of stock.

The Ber-months are upon us! (Peep our new pfp hehe) Hope you guys can look forward to what umbra & illumia has in store in the coming months.
