2025 In Review: Beginning the Year With Intention

As a new year unfolds, there’s often pressure to move quickly—to set goals, make plans, and step forward with certainty. But this season invites something different. It asks us to slow down, to listen inward, and to begin again with care.

This year, we’re choosing a softer approach. One rooted in presence, reflection, and small rituals that help us return to ourselves.

A Season for Gentle Beginnings

January doesn’t have to be loud or ambitious. It can be quiet. Intentional. A time to re-center after a full and busy season.

At Fae Fire, we believe that rest is not something you earn—it’s something you practice. Small moments of calm, like lighting a candle or taking a deep breath, can gently bring the nervous system back into balance. These moments add up, creating space for clarity, creativity, and steadiness.

This month is about honoring that rhythm.

Introducing Our January Candle: Solar Sands

Created as a companion for slower mornings and reflective evenings, Solar Sands is a grounding blend designed to help you settle into stillness.

With notes of sun-warmed citrus, soft florals, and grounding woods, this candle carries a warmth that feels both comforting and expansive. It’s a scent meant to support presence—to remind you to pause, breathe, and arrive fully in the moment.

Solar Sands was crafted to support rituals of rest, reflection, and renewal. Whether lit during quiet mornings, evening wind-downs, or moments of journaling and stillness, it offers a gentle sense of balance and ease.

Available in-store and online beginning Thursday, January 8.
(Choose local pickup or flat-rate shipping.)

Community, Connection & New Beginnings

This season also marks a meaningful chapter in our journey.

Thanks to the generosity and encouragement of Sienna from The Pink Poppy in Prineville, OR, a connection was made that changed everything. She introduced us to another local business owner who had space available and a shared belief in collaboration over competition.

From that moment, something special unfolded. Enhanced Decor, after many years of serving the community, graciously opened the door for Fae Fire to step into a shared space—allowing both businesses to support one another during a time of transition.

For Fae Fire, this move represented both courage and trust. For Enhanced Decor, it meant passing the torch in a way that honored their legacy. Together, it became a reminder of what’s possible when small businesses support one another with generosity and heart.

Thank you Eric and David for your faith, trust and friendship, you mean the world to me! Thank you to my dad, Joel for your encouragement, my friend Aaron for your support, and to my best friend, Ali for your hard work in helping me to paint, build stuff, move it a million times and for your belief and support. I love you all! I can't forget all of my incredible Candle Bar guests and Fae Fire Community (you know who you are!) I deeply appreciate you all deeply and have wonderful treasures in store for you all in 2026.

Looking Ahead

As we step into 2026, we’re filled with gratitude—for the support, the conversations, the shared moments, and the community that continues to grow around this space.

In the months ahead, you can look forward to:

• The launch of our Candle Club: Illuminaries
• New seasonal scents and small-batch releases
• Thoughtful blog content centered on rest, ritual, and renewal
• More opportunities to gather, reflect, and reconnect

Thank you for being part of this journey. Whether you visit in person, follow along online, or light one of our candles at home—you are part of this story.

With gratitude,
