Self-care can mean a lot of things for me. Some days it means I’m getting a fresh full set, other days it means I’m eating right and working out. Today, self-care means burning a fresh new candle while wedding planning.
Luckily the month of August has gifted me with the launch of Jackie Aina’s new self-care company, FORVR Mood. Anything Jackie touches is gold and while I love watching her makeup videos, I also admire her overall esthetic. Her lifestyle looks luxurious but also relatable. Something I hope to achieve one day. But until then I am living bougie on a budget and candles for sure help me feel luxurious.
In the initial launch of her brand, Jackie debuted four uniquely named and scented candles ($35), Caked Up, Cuffing Season, Left on Read, and Matcha Business along with Pure Silk Headbands ($28) and Pillowcases ($49). I purchased one of her FORVR Mood candles, Cuffing Season, and a Pure Silk Headband. Cuffing Season is described as a tropical rainforest scented candle. It it definitely a fresh citrus scent, and one that I love! The candle itself is housed safe in a scented box upon arrival, providing an even more luxury feel.
The burn time on these candles are up to 65 hours with proper care. The smell of this candle is amazing, it is powerful but not overwhelming! I could sniff it all day honestly. While I only have one of the four candles, I would recommend FORVR Mood to anyone once it restocks! Supporting Black women is always important for me. And when we deliver a fantastic product, it’s a win for everyone.
