Lighting candles as part of your daily ritual is a sacred habit. I call it sacred because it is personal — a connection between you and the moment you want to relish.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take this as an invitation to make time for the things that truly matter — a sacred moment with yourself ✨🕯
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PS: Ritual Candles are back in limited stock.

I'm not here to be perfect.
I'm here to be who I am -- a soul that ebbs & flows.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are you here for?

Finally restocking Ritual Candles in Aug8.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As always, quantity is limited. I make candles in between corporate work, motherhood, drinking coffee, taking care of my cat, and loving myself (a.k.a biking). ♡ Also because while they are still curing, most of them got sold already 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want to get notified of the restock, head over to our website and choose your Ritual Candle ✨

Hi there,
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Haven't been here in a while. I initially wanted to say sorry for not posting with cadence but then I realized that while I'm not here as much, I am actually doing myself a favor -- I was regenerating. ♡
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I asked what do you want to see more in here, I got a lot of responses on posting more personal content. So here I am, sharing what I have been up to the past weeks.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🚴 I found a new love affair - biking. Aside from making candles, I never thought that biking would feel therapeutic! I am now seeing more places, exploring, and enjoying moments outside. There is something about the wind when it blows against my body. I feel like the Universe is giving me a power hug 💫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙏 I am also trying to be more intentional in noticing the things/moments I am grateful for every single day. I share my list with friends and strangers on the group chat. I celebrate with others, and they do the same with me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I guess I am more okay now with taking things slow. It used to be just a thought in my head, like a silent wish. Now I am slowly building my boundaries and trying to be consistent with them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So if you're like me, I want you to know that it's okay to honor your pace. And that in the process of doing so, you'll get to know more about yourself and the people around you (and meet new friends, too!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cheers to relishing every moment of every day. 🥂

According to researcher Seth J. Gillihan, knowing your psychological needs is just as important as knowing your physiological needs.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Not surprisingly, people who are good at identifying their needs are also more likely to have their psychological needs met—they enjoy better relationships, a greater sense of being good at what they do, and more freedom in their actions.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your needs are unique to you. And knowing helps you align your actions (big and small). For me, this sets a foundation if you are working on discovering more about yourself and dialing in a change. It becomes easier to recalibrate your daily habits and the choices you make... simply because you know what you need.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, what do you need more of in your life?

I created Alba Essentials last 2019 so I can have a place where curiosity is encouraged, and art/life in any form is celebrated.

In here, I learned and grew in respect of my pace. Slowly growing, building deeper connection with myself and the people I get to know everyday thru Alba Essentials.

Today, I am celebrating another year of my life with you. And also today, I am launching the ✨ Ritual Candles ✨ As my gift for you, you can get each candle for 712, only on July 12 😊

As always, I’m doing this to hopefully encourage you to make time for yourself — celebrating and remembering sacred moments thru rituals.

I hope you are reminded that it’s okay to take your time.

That life is not a sprint, even if it is bounded by time.

All the more you are permitted to be in the moment..
to pause
to feel
to breathe

I hope you take time to ‘be’ and not just to ‘do’ 🤍

RITUAL IS FOR EVERYONE.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We all may already be partly doing ritual, but that doesn’t mean you’re already getting the benefits from it because ritual needs to be intentional and repeated. When we cook, eat, read, exercise or travel, all of these things can be turned into meaningful rituals.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ritual is about the gaps you’d like to fill or identifying the connection or habits you lack. In the book, it says that rituals are for everyone because you don’t have to believe in anything to enjoy and create a ritual. It is about connection which is a necessity, not a luxury.
