HI, FRIENDS!
I'm Colleen, the founder and creator of Moodie Collective. I've created this line from the ground up – from label designs, to fragrance testing, wax pouring, packing and beyond. This collection has been a labor of creativity and love. Every candle has a special place in my heart and I hope you love them as much as I've loved creating them!
THE BACKGROUND
As strange as it seems, the idea for Moodie was built from burnt toast. One morning, I was in my kitchen making breakfast before a packed workday. I was multi-tasking and doing five things at once when I smelled it. It was 7am, yet I was already stressed, and this ***&!ing piece of toast was my breaking point! After a mini meltdown, I pulled the rubble onto my plate and began mentally preparing myself to eat soot. That’s when something clicked. I didn’t have to eat this. I didn’t WANT to eat this! I decided I was going to make a new piece of toast because I wanted to feel good.
When I’m telling you that I literally told my therapist about this moment, I am not exaggerating. It was a weird, random, giant breakthrough for me. I realized I had the ability to make ridiculously simple, conscious efforts to better my day. And this led me directly down a path of creating Moodie–minimal effort, feel good products that help elevate your mood and better your overall well-being. My hope is that Moodie can act as a self care product that doesn't require adding another item on your "to-do" list. All you need to do is set an intention for how you want to feel, and use the unique power of scent to cultivate your desired mood!
