While I enjoy making candles and enhancing everyone’s space, I created Lolights Essentials with a mission to promote mental health awareness, especially within minority communities. I believe that we often ignore our mental health due to the stigma attached to it. Additionally, the importance of mental health isn’t something that’s explained at home.
Society has led us to believe that we are considered "crazy" if we seek mental health services. Therapy, for example, is a form of a mental health service. I would encourage everyone to engage in therapy because it's a great outlet to release whatever is on your mind without a biased opinion. Confiding in your family and friends is great, but their feedback will be prejudiced because they know who you are.
Meditation is another way to increase your mental well-being because it helps you center yourself, clear your mind, and focus on the present moment. Studies have shown that mediation boosts your productivity and increases your ability to focus. You can engage in various forms of meditation, whether it's spiritual, focused, relaxation, mindfulness, or even through yoga. Do what works for you. One of the things I enjoy most is coming home, lighting my candles (from Lolights, of course), and playing soft old-school R&B music, because it helps me to relax. There’s nothing like basking in a clean space that smells amazing!
I will continue to use Lolights Essentials to promote self-care because, in the end, you are all you have left. So, take care of yourself.
Sincerely,
Lois
CEO of Lolights Essentials
