<p>I love the idea of a candle but this mantra is definitely not one I ever resonate with. It seems so self indulged to me- in a world where people are so self entitled, I would prefer something that considers others more.There are some lovely mantras Adriene has but this has always been one I don’t like.</p><p>Sorry </p>

<p>I discovered that Adriene's amazing candle would cost me £37.50 - not sure if shipping is included - plus whatever Post Office Fees + Tax charges apply for the UK! </p><p>Then it occurred to me 🧑🏽💭💡: There are plenty of UK sellers offering eco friendly soy candles, with clean packaging etc, so I bought myself a kit on Etsy! Yup, I figured that Adriene enjoyed being involved in making her Candle, so why not enjoy that experience myself! </p><p>I chose Orange and Chilli as my fragrance, and this kit has both candles and tealights! I can buy refill meterials as needed! </p><p>I can write the Mantra, and attach it to the tins if I want to" put the cherry on top" as Adriene sometimes says. This is the kit I bought, but others are available: https:</p><p>https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/773685184/soy-candle-making-kit-craft-kit-vegan</p>

<p>Currently watching in a hotel with my kids and upon hearing your voice my 9 year old said “are you on the phone with your yoga friend?” 💖 </p>

<p>This year was an eye opening experience (and sadly a reminder) on how brutal the state of our world and our nature as human beings can be. Yet, at the same time I think it's the best time to be alive. I may not resonate with everything you say, but I have such an admiration and respect for you! I thank you for being among the few people who has influenced my life the most.</p><p>And also, a big thank you for your commitment to the 30 day yoga journey. I can honestly say that it saved my life and made me a better man. So yeah... very much appreciated and can't wait for it to come out 🙏   </p>

<p>Love the candle! Such an amazing gift for one’s self or another. However living NS Canada the candian dollar value and customs just for me makes it too overpriced for a candle. Still love it though! Beautiful addtion to any space it will be. I will print off the mantra for sure and use it in my space.</p><p>Can’t wait for the new 30day challenge in January! Happy Holidays to all FWFG members 🪷</p>

<p>hello, i am learning about the dangers of soy wax candles and the production of soy worldwide, majority of which are monsanto gmo soy beans. the affects of monocropping soy and growing conventionally with chemicals worldwide does much damage to the soil, water, air, local communities' health, and takes a deadly toll on native insects who pollinate these toxic fields of soybean. here i share one context, that of the yucatán (where my family is native to). you can watch the trailer or the entire film on the website: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.mayalandlisteningtothebees.com/">https://www.mayalandlisteningtothebees.com/</a></p>

<p>Great idea for the candle...did I miss how to order?  Seems everyone is asking how to order, but I haven't found the answer?</p>

<p>Big hugs to anyone like me, who loves that poem but honestly just started crying at the thought of really wanting to feel hope and that the universe is for me, but not knowing how. But I don’t know how today, and who knows what tomorrow will bring, and I’ll keep showing up on the mat, and those of us who are feeling lost can figure it out together 🩵</p>

<p>This candle collaboration is so lovely!  I'm trying to order 3 for gifts and I think so is everyone else! :)  My transaction isn't going through, but I will keep trying. I am excited to practice the next (10th) 30 days of yoga with everyone. This will be my own 10th year of sharing in this amazing practice. Happy Holidays to Adriene, and the entire FWFG Team. &lt;3</p>
