It’s been over 10 years since I called D.C. home, but I still remember the feeling of biking past monuments, through quiet neighborhoods, and along embassy-lined streets. That chapter lives on in Foggy Bottom Reverie, a candle inspired by one of the city’s most cosmopolitan corners. With soft florals, bergamot, and notes reminiscent of embassy gardens and cultural crossroads, it brings me right back. I invite you to find your state-inspired candle—let it take you to a city you visited, a home you miss, or a memory that shaped you. ~ Amanda Co-owner

There’s something magical about a cozy glow on a crisp winter night—especially on Valentine’s Day. When you light an Alaskalux candle, the gentle flicker isn’t just pretty to look at. There’s real science behind the ambiance it creates. Candlelight falls in the “warm” color spectrum, which naturally soothes the mind and helps our bodies relax. The soft, dancing flame also draws our focus, encouraging us to slow down and truly share the moment with someone special. Studies show that dim, warm lighting can lower stress levels, making it easier to feel close and connected. This Valentine’s Day, let the comforting glow of an Alaskalux candle wrap you and your loved one in an inviting, intimate atmosphere—kindling warmth in both the room and in your hearts.

This week, while in Anchorage, I visited a shop that carries our Alaskalux candles—and what a joy it was to see them displayed with care! They even included the little card we tuck into every package: "Take a moment for yourself." That’s the heart of Alaskalux—helping people pause, breathe, and savor a moment of peace in their day. As you light a candle today, I hope it’s a gentle reminder that even five minutes to yourself can work wonders to recharge your spirit.
