Beyond romantic love, there's the essential practice of loving yourself. Our Affirmation candles invite you to slow down and cultivate self-love through intentional moments of care.
Perfect for daily meditation, journaling, bath rituals, or quiet reflection, each affirmation candle is thoughtfully crafted to support your self-care practice.
I am Brave - Santal, Cardamom & Amber Warm, grounding woods and spices for courage and strength. Topped with dried golden yellow calendula petals. (formally I am Strong)
Why this affirmation
This affirmation gives you permission to be courageous in both big and small ways, whether that's setting a boundary, making a difficult decision, or simply showing up as yourself. Repeating "I am Brave" reminds you that you already have the strength to handle whatever comes next, even when fear is present.
We've updated this candle from "I am Strong" to "I am Brave" because brave feels more honest, it acknowledges that hard things are still hard, and you're doing them anyway. It's permission to be scared and courageous at the same time, which is what real self-compassion looks like.
This is one of four Self-Love Affirmation, view them all here.

CARE & SAFETY
Care
Allow your candle to burn for 3-4 hours at a time and allow wax to melt to the edge of the container to prevent tunneling. Trim your wick to 1/4 inch every time you burn your candle. Make sure your wick stays centered. Once you’re finished burning your candle, clean out the container and reuse or recycle.
Safety
Don't burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Always burn candles on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts. Never leave candles burning unattended. For safety, stop burning your candle when ¼ inch of wax remains. Keep out of reach of children.
