Listen "Homesick Candles"
Episode Synopsis
It’s last minute holiday shopping time y’all and we’ve got the perfect gift for you! This week we are featuring a brand we love who also offers the perfect holiday gifts. Founded in 2016, Homesick is a home fragrance and lifestyle brand with one simple goal: to bring joy to your home by helping you feel closer to the people, places and moments that matter most.
They’ve been inspired overtime by their loyal fans and have expanded the Homesick range to almost 200 different products representing all the things that matter most - from every US state, to multiple cities and countries, to occasions, people and moments. We love the brand so much, Ioanna even gifted one of their fabulous NYC candles to Aaron when she asked him to be her Man of Honor!
Their candles are cruelty-free, non-toxic and contain no lead, plastics, paraben, phthalates or synthetic dyes and are made with a natural soy wax blend!
We chat all things candles with the General Manager of Homesick, Lauren McCord. She talks about the founding of the brand and its goal of bringing special moments to all. Hear about the scent creation process and how they select what ends up in their lines. Plus, a glimpse into what makes their candles a hit with folks looking for a natural product.
With options to personalize as well, the brand offers something meaningful for everyone! We blow out the candle with rapid fire, learning Lauren’s favorite holiday scent, her dream collab, favorite state scent, and her favorite room to put a candle in her house! PLUS, hear what scent Sip with Me would be it we were a candle!
