From Missing It… To Making It

Then I moved one last time—now in my 30s—to Jacksonville, Florida, to help my mom when the forest fires in Idaho started affecting her health. Florida has its own kind of magic. The beach air really does smell amazing. But I still found myself missing Kansas wildflowers… and Idaho’s forests… and all those scents that made me feel like me.

And that’s where In Good Scents was born.

I decided to stop wishing I could go back — and instead try to bring those scents back in a way I could actually enjoy every day.

This brand started in my little two-bedroom apartment, with me pushing myself way outside my comfort zone. I’ve been rigorously testing waxes, wicks, fragrance blends, and everything in between—because I’m not interested in making “just another candle.” I want something that feels special, burns beautifully, smells incredible, and is made with care.

Honestly? I’m making what I would buy myself… because let’s be real — I’m absolutely burning my own candles when I’m not working.

But more than anything, I want this to be a brand that feels like a memory.

Because I know I’m not the only one who misses a place, a person, or a time in life… and wishes they could feel close to it again, even for a second.

So yes, I’m creating scents I love — but I also want to recreate scents other people are missing, too. The ones that bring back a memory so clearly it almost feels like you’re there again.

That’s what In Good Scents is really about.

Thanks for being here, truly.
I can’t wait to share what I’ve been building.

With love,
