This past week has been nothing short of incredible, and my heart feels so full. I am beyond honored to have been honored with the Remarkable Women award. To receive such recognition is humbling, especially because giving back is truly at the core of everything I do. Generosity runs through my veins, and it’s a value that has shaped not just me but also the heart and soul of Door County Candle.
It’s the reason why every flicker of a candle we create carries a deeper purpose. When people bring one of our candles into their homes, they’re not just buying a product. They’re becoming part of our larger mission to spread light, positivity, and kindness in the world. That mission is about more than just warm scents and cozy vibes; it’s about creating meaningful connections and giving back in ways that truly matter.
And now, Nic and I are thrilled to share the next big chapter in our story. Next month, we’re launching Luba Libations! Luba Libations is a line of non-alcoholic cocktails inspired by none other than my incredible Grandmother Luba (many of you may know her as my Baba). My grandmother Luba is a trailblazer in every sense of the word. Her life has been filled with boldness, compassion, and an unshakable determination to leave the world better than she found it. It’s this spirit that drives our new venture, and we’re so excited to celebrate her legacy with every sip.
Just like Door County Candle, Luba Libations has a mission rooted in giving back. Through our “Sips for Sustainability” initiative, we’ll be donating 1% of all sales to sustainability efforts. Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for us; it’s a responsibility. Giving back to the planet and protecting it for future generations is a promise we’re proud to make.
At the heart of it all is that same belief that’s always fueled Door County Candle: every act of giving matters. Whether it’s through the glow of a candle or the cheers of a non-alcoholic toast, these small acts of kindness ripple out and create something bigger than any one of us can imagine.
It’s incredible to think about how both Door County Candle and Luba Libations are connected by that shared mission of making a positive impact. From brightening your day with one of our candles to supporting a sustainable future with every sip of Luba Libations, it all comes back to giving back.
To those who shop in our store, light our candles in their homes, or share our products with loved ones, I just want to say thank you. You’re not only supporting a business but also a vision of kindness, brightness, and hope. Together, we’re creating something special.
I leave you with this thought today, one that guides me in everything I do: no act of giving or kindness is too small. Whether it’s a smile, a thoughtful gesture, or a conscious choice to support businesses that give back, it all makes a difference.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Here’s to spreading light, kindness, and hope wherever we go.
💛 Christiana
