First Impressions
Slow down and take in the view. - Vellabox
November is here, and I woke up today to a very frosty morning! After an unseasonably warm fall and five inches of rain in just the last three days, it certainly feels like we’ve had an unusual season. Since our family will be out of state toward the end of the month, I decided to put away the Halloween and fall decor on October 31st—and just like that, out came Christmas!
With the shorter days, I find myself spending more time indoors, and one of my favorite ways to wind down is to light a candle. It’s my little signal that the workday is over and it’s time to slow down and rest. This month’s Vellabox arrived at just the right time, bringing with it everything I needed to create a cozy, soothing atmosphere.
This month’s quote perfectly captured the magic of November, and I couldn’t wait to discover the scent they had paired with it!
Both the candle and surprise gift brought a sense of calm to my evening routine and were just what I needed. Together, they served as a lovely reminder to slow down, take a breath, and savor the moment—and for that, I’m especially grateful.
If the soft glow of candlelight and comforting scents help you unwind as much as they do me, I truly can’t recommend this subscription enough. With a surprise gift and a thoughtfully curated Spotify playlist included each month, Vellabox is so much more than a candle subscription. It’s a little monthly reminder to slow down, embrace the moment, and make room for a bit of everyday calm.
F & C Candles "Pine + Plum" - Retail Value $40.00
This month’s candle was inspired by winter forests and festive gatherings. The Pine & Plum scent features a lovely blend of apple, juniper, plum, black cherry, vanilla, and musk. I found the juniper to be the most prominent note, and I absolutely love this combination!
This month, I placed the candle beside our fish Axle’s tank. As I mentioned earlier, I’ve slowly been bringing out the Christmas decor, and the 16-ounce brown glass container fit perfectly inside my glass hurricane, surrounded by poinsettias and greenery. Although the simple label is hidden, I do appreciate its pretty design, and I especially love how long these candles last. My husband loved this scent, too, and even though it had a pretty significant scent throw, he never once asked me to blow it out!
Once lit, the soft glow and cozy fragrance made our home feel even more warm and welcoming. It was such a simple yet lovely way to bring a little more of my favorite season into our everyday routine.
This month’s candle was created by F & C Candles, a small, woman-owned business based in Sacramento, California. Rooted in sustainability and craftsmanship, the company is committed to creating safer, cleaner products without compromising on quality or the overall experience. They specialize in hand-poured candles designed to bring warmth, comfort, and beauty to everyday moments.
Each candle is thoughtfully hand-poured using natural soy wax and cotton wicks, resulting in a beautifully crafted product. If you enjoy unique, carefully curated fragrances and appreciate supporting small businesses that prioritize quality and sustainability, F & C Candles is definitely a company worth checking out!
Now for the secret item!
Pine + Plum Hand Cream - Retail Value $10
To complement our deliciously scented November candle, we also received a 2-ounce bottle of hand cream in the Pine + Plum fragrance. Made with aloe leaf juice and seed oils, this hand cream moisturizes beautifully without leaving your hands feeling greasy. The scent is fairly strong, but if you enjoy a fresh pine fragrance as much as I do, it’s absolutely lovely! With the dry weather settling in, I really appreciate this thoughtful addition and love having a smaller-sized bottle that I can easily toss into my purse for on-the-go moisture.
Was This Box Worth It?
The Cost: $30
Vellabox is a fabulous subscription and one I look forward to receiving every single month! Since I burn candles almost daily, it's important to me that I choose products made without toxins or other potentially harmful ingredients. Vellabox does an excellent job of curating small-batch candle brands that prioritize cleaner ingredients while still delivering absolutely incredible scents!
This month's Pine + Plum candle was pure perfection! It added the finishing touch to my Christmas decor while bringing in a beautiful seasonal fragrance that simply can't be beat. With the addition of the thoughtfully curated Spotify playlist and the lovely little extras, this month's box truly felt complete.
I'm already looking forward to seeing what December has in store!
