Lux+Soul in Peru!

Peru owes me nothing! So here’s a little background of my latest adventure. I was selected as an NEA Foundation Global Learning Fellow in 2019 right before COVID. I was one of 43 teachers chosen across the country to represent their state. It was such a huge honor. I was so surprised that I, a dance teacher at a middle school, was chosen to represent Arkansas! Humbling!!! We were set to do a field study in the summer of 2020 but it was postponed due to the pandemic. We were finally able to make our big trip this month and it was 10 days of life changing experiences! Lima, Cusco, the town of Misminay, Macchu Pichu and the Sacred Valley, the food, the people, the beautiful landscapes and of course the amazing culture and history…mind blowing! This video is a very small snippet of my adventure. I was able to grab a few beautiful treasures at the markets of Cusco that I will be featuring on the website! Hit that notifications button for first notice of the Peruvian candle collection coming soon! See video here: Lux in Peru

I’m So Excited About Being A Business Owner!

Dance has been my whole life...hobby, career, past time, you name it. COVID forced me to reflect and make the decision to step outside of my comfort zone and create something different. I love candles. I looked around my home and saw so many empty candle vessels in my home and since many of my fave stores were closed at one point and I was too scared to leave my home, I ventured into making my own. They turned out amazing! As I continued to create and also succumb to the norm of being at home all the time, I learned to enjoy my own space. It’s amazing what a good candle, cute pajamas, and a pretty wine glass of your fave wine or a stylish mug of you fave tea could do to you! My life was sooooo busy that I lost myself and sense of self care. Lux+Soul was created based upon my life...a busy soul who wants to take time to reset and enjoy their own space...to create a haven of self care so that you can recharge and then go back out to conquer the world. If you’re that person, take a look at my website www.shopluxsoul.com and tell me what you think. I hope to be apart of your journey of self care and self love...it would be an honor !
