You Deserve to Rest
August 15 is National Relaxation Day—my favorite time of the year and we’re taking it as our reminder to slow down, breathe deeper, and give ourselves permission to simply be.
When was the last time you truly relaxed?
Not scrolling while thinking about everything you still need to do.
Not watching television while answering emails.
Not lying in bed while mentally making tomorrow’s to-do list.
We mean real relaxation.
The kind where your shoulders finally drop. Your breathing slows. Your mind gets a little quieter. And for a few precious moments, you aren’t trying to accomplish anything.
That’s what National Relaxation Day is all about.
And honestly? We think you deserve this kind of pause more than once a year.
Rest isn’t something you should have to justify after being productive enough, helping enough people, or checking everything off your list.
Sometimes the most intentional thing you can do is stop.
Light a candle – we have several to choose from
Put your phone down – c’mon you can do it
Take a deep breath – as deep as you need to go
And exhale – let it all go
Repeat as many times as necessary
No matter what you choose from all of our candles are the kind that evoke a quiet exhale after a long day, the evening wind-down, the journaling session, the warm bath, the meditation, or simply the decision to sit still for a little while.
✨
There is no wrong way to rest.
Based on the kind of rest your mind and body are asking for, here are some of our top picks.
🌿 Black Amber — For Grounding
Need to come back down to earth? Start here.
Black Amber combines earthy sage, warm Egyptian amber, and creamy tonka bean to create a warm, grounded atmosphere.
It’s especially suited for evening wind-downs, meditation, journaling, quiet reflection, or creating a peaceful bedroom or bath environment.
Mood: Grounded • Warm • Serene
🤎 Cocoa Cashmere — For Cozy Comfort
Sometimes relaxation means getting comfortable.
Cocoa Cashmere brings together warm spices, vanilla tonka, coconut, jasmine, cocoa butter, and soft musk for a luxurious, cozy fragrance experience.
This is the candle I’d reach for when relaxation means; a warm drink, a good book, a long bath, your favorite blanket, a cozy night at home
Mood: Cozy • Soft • Luxurious
🌊 Monumental Dreams Wax Melts — For a Moment of Peace
If your idea of relaxation is slowing down, clearing your mind, and creating a peaceful atmosphere
Let the comforting fragrance fill your space as you step away from the noise of the day. Made with a coconut and sunflower wax blend, these wax melts are perfect for creating a cozy, calming environment when you need a little time to yourself.
Mood: Dreamy • Comforting • Relaxing
🌬️ Breathe Deep Wax Melts — For a Mental Reset
Sometimes relaxation starts with one simple instruction:
Breathe.
Breathe Deep is a soft, cozy fragrance featuring linden flowers and fresh musk. It’s a beautiful choice when you want your environment to feel calm and comforting.
With every exhale, imagine releasing something you don’t need or want to carry anymore.
Mood: Soft • Peaceful • Restorative
💚 Your Relaxation Day Challenge
This National Relaxation Day, we’re challenging you to give yourself at least 30 minutes of intentional rest.
Not productive rest.
Not multitasking rest.
Not “I’ll relax after I finish everything” rest.
Just rest
❤️
