There is basically nothing I love more than a good craft, diy, or an event! However, I DO love to do these things outside of my house. I mean no clean up, Amiright?!? So let me give you the lowdown on my new FAVORITE shop, Scentcerely Yours! First of all, it’s nestled in downtown Geneva which is a gem in itself. Second of all, the owners are AWESOME! Trust me, you will love them within seconds of meeting them. They are super passionate about their shop and truly genuine people. I strongly believe Everything in business starts at the top and it shows at Scentcerely Yours. Third, you get to make your OWN candle to take home 🖤!!! AND, drumroll…..you get to pick your own scent!!! Yup-hence the name Scentcerely Yours!
Emme and I spent the morning there about a week ago and made our own candle while Maxwell was at school. Note: Scentcerely Yours is totally cool with your littles being in tow!! Below I will walk you through the process of making your own Scentcerely Yours Candle.
See what I mean about being “nestled” in Downtown Geneva? If you blink you might miss it, so be sure not too:).
(Susi & Rob-owners, Britt-Marketing Coordinator)
Upon walking in you likely see one of these three smiling faces above! Susi and Rob(the two on the left are the owners I mentioned that really make this a place you want to go back too. They actually ran this business as a test in their basement before officially opening! Britt is the super fun and spunky marketing coordinator that is sure to help you!
This wall of approximately 100 candles are actually pre-made candles for purchase but also the scents that you choose from to make your extra special Scent-Scentcerely Yours! You pick 3 to make your scent. I found this part challenging because I am V indecisive when it comes to REALLY major decisions such as making a candle. lol. They provide you with a paper to track all your favs and will support you in making a scent that goes well together. So don’t stress about that!
The next major decision in your candle making journey is choosing what container to put it in! Truly, they are all cute! But I knew within seconds I needed this grey and gold number(it’s a surprise so you will see it below).
Then the real candle making begins….
You mix all three of your scents and do multiple sniff tests along the way!
As you can see, Emme enjoyed her time there eating a cookie!!
Next, you mix the wax and the oils together.
Being a part of the process really is such a good time!
I ended up choosing Bourbon, Roasted Chestnut, and Honeycrisp to make my Special Scent.
And I then named it: Apple Orchard. See you even get to make your label. I probably should have gotten a bit more creative with this part.
The final step is that your candle has to sit for 90 mins, which is actually amazing in Geneva because there are SO many good restaurants. So go have lunch and a drink will you wait!
Then you get to pick up this CUTE package!!!!
So, ladies, gentlemen, everyone, get your little booty over to SY’s and make yourself a candle! Or, look at ALL of the fun ideas and or reasons to head to Scentcerely Yours!!! Plus, you can actually make other things besides candles. Check out all of the scents and other products by clicking here.

XOXO,
