24.01.2022 - F I G + C A S S I S - One of faves for Winter - exotic, full bodied and decadent. A vibrant blend of sun warmed fig intertwined with juicy cassis (blackcurrant) and notes of cedarwood & hyacinth perfectly matched with an open fire, a glass of red and a cheese platter!

24.01.2022 - G I F T I N G - We have been blown away by all of your beautiful orders over the past month or so. Gifts heading out to loved ones doing it tough in ISO and spoiling your beautiful mamas on Mother’s Day. So many little parcels have been carefully packaged and wrapped with the most beautiful little notes attached. We are truly humbled that you guys put your faith and trust in us... it’s a great privilege and an honour - many thanks to you all x

24.01.2022 - N O M A R K E T S - No markets for us this weekend folks... not only are we crazy busy pouring orders for our wonderful stockists but we’ll also be celebrating a big birthday on Sunday. I think we’d be pretty crappy parents if we ditched our son’s 18th for the markets Seriously can’t believe we’ll have an 18yr old - seems like only yesterday we were tying his shoelaces and reading him bedtime stories - make the most of your little ones... time sneaks away so quickly!

23.01.2022 - T O U G H D A Y S - Today I had one of ‘those’ days. You know the ones, where everything just seems hard. Life is busy and work is busy, and just a little stressful. But usually I thrive on busy and I manage the stressful. Usually I’m upbeat and positive, but today I just couldn’t muster the energy. Scrolling through Pinterest tonight I stumbled upon this little quote. I AM doing the best I can and that is enough. Thanks to @somercross and @mr_dtc for allowing me a day of ‘meh’, and to the lovely Hollie @ommcollective for guiding me through another incredible Yoga session - you work magic lovely girl! Tomorrow is a new day and I can’t wait!

22.01.2022 - C O C O N U T + T A H I T I A N L I M E - One of our all time best sellers and a classic Summer blend - sunny, salty beach days, ocean swims and sunset drinks - the perfect aroma for an endless Summer!

22.01.2022 - E I G H T E E N - Happiest of birthdays to our firstborn @byron.martini__ Mate, we cannot believe our little boy is now officially an adult! You have always been such a laid back kid, a real cruiser - nothing ever really seems to phase you or stress you out - you take everything in your stride which will serve you well in life. You are a soft and gentle spirit with a kind and caring nature and always treat others with respect. We love that you love music, nature and the su...rf - these things will continue to light a spark in you your whole life so don’t ever let them go. Our one and only wish for you is that you have a happy life full of experiences and adventure and that you always remain true to yourself. Never hold back - don’t be afraid to take risks as you never know where they might lead - better to have given it a shot than to be left wondering what might have been. Remember that your family will always be here through anything that life throws at you, and we will always have your back. Even though you’re an adult now, you will always be our little boy and our love for you will continue to grow. We are so very proud of the man that you have become and we wish you every happiness for the next exciting chapter of your life. Happy 18th Birthday mate, love mum & dad x See more

21.01.2022 - F O R M U M - Two weeks to go until we celebrate our beautiful mama’s and show them some love. If you haven’t already got something sorted and you’re posting to your mama then now is the time to jump on it. We have a page on our website dedicated to gift ideas for Mother’s Day. We also have a gift wrap service - just enter your personalised message and we’ll pop it on a gift card, wrap it with love and send direct to her. If you’ve seen our stories you’ll know how much pride we take in our presentation and gift wrap - it’s one of our fave things to do. We even have little stickers with instructions for your mama to not open until Sunday 10th May because it’s all about the timing. What better gift for your mum this Mother’s Day than a beautiful candle - we promise it will bring a smile to her face.

21.01.2022 - F A T H E R ‘ S D A Y - We all know how tricky our dad's can be to buy for, and we're pretty sure the old socks and jocks duo is getting a bit old, so we've put together the ultimate Father's Day gift pack.

17.01.2022 - S U M M E R V I B E S - Today is a glorious day on the Gold Coast. The sun is shining and the temperature is starting to climb. It’s a ‘Coconut & Tahitian Lime’ kinda day for sure Happy Thursday Insta fam x

15.01.2022 - H A N D P O U R E D - It’s a label we wear with pride - Every. Single. Candle - made by hand, by us. Every now and then we get a little envious of businesses that are able to just pluck ready made products from the shelf, wrap it up and send it out with their sticker attached. For us there’s a whole lot more involved - lately it’s an average of 12 hour days, mostly 7 days a week. Handmade is hard work - bloody hard work - but it’s a label we wear with pride... and sometimes weary eyes.

15.01.2022 Love this so much

14.01.2022 - M A R C H - ... is the month for celebrating! A big birthday is looming... let’s just say I’ve had ten years of experience being 29 Someone said to me today ‘40 is the new 20’... I quite like that so I’m rollin with it. But before the celebrations begin we have a busy couple of weeks filling wholesale orders, prepping for upcoming markets and making sure we have plenty of stock to fill all of your online orders. March is going to be a BIG month - lots of hard work followed by lots of celebrating my newfound twenties... bring it on!

14.01.2022 - C O M F O R T - With all that’s going on in the world at the moment it’s sometimes hard to find the positives and to find focus. We feel incredibly lucky that we are still able to work, and what keeps us going, what keeps us inspired, is the support from you guys. Creating a product that adds a little comfort to someone’s day is something that we feel privileged to be able to do. Sending love to all of you who are going through a tough time - we are all in this together and we WILL battle through and come out the other side - stronger, smarter and more compassionate.

13.01.2022 - R A I N Y D A Y S - ... are for candles... and ducks. The perfect weather to cosy up and light a candle or two!

11.01.2022 - H E L L O T H E R E - We’ve been a little quiet on social media these past couple of weeks. Last week I celebrated my big 4 0 - it was a very low key event but I was lucky enough to have a small bunch of family and friends to celebrate with - quality not quantity right! I’ve deliberately taken some time out from social media to recharge and reset - to enjoy some time with my family and to just be present. But we’re back - ready to jump back into Drift and to send out all of your beautiful orders. We’re blown away by your love and support and excited to send off those little parcels of comfort for you guys - many who are now working from home or in quarantine. Stay safe, stay home and take care xx

11.01.2022 - E A S T E R - For most of us Easter will look a bit different this year. We had booked to go away camping in Noosa with my sis and her family, and my mum and dad who had driven their motorhome up early March. Obviously those plans have been cancelled - mum and dad drove back to Tassie mid-March (pretty much as soon as they got up here) and we will all be celebrating Easter at our respective homes. . Despite our plans having changed, we are determined to have a wonderful... Easter at home. Kicking things off this morning with hot cross buns from our local @fuelbakehouse then, weather permitting, we’ll have a fire tonight with homemade seafood chowder. Saturday is pizza night - love making our own on the Webber - bases are so crispy and delish - we’ve learnt less is more when it comes to toppings. Our games night will be a challenge... @mr_dtc screwed his nose up at charades but I think it will be fun - especially with teenagers. We have loads to look forward to this weekend and I’m actually looking forward to staying home and just chillaxing. What are your ‘stay-at-home’ plans this Easter? Recommendations for movies and books always welcome See more

10.01.2022 - M A R K E T D A Y - Tomorrow we’ll be setting up shop @thevillagemarkets . Visiting local markets is not only a great way to shop unique boutique brands but also a chance to connect with your local community, meet the makers and to support small business - not to mention the incredible live music, great coffee and yummy eats. Catch you tomorrow at Burleigh State School, 8:30-1pm Pic via @thevillagemarkets

10.01.2022 - S M I L E - A little something to consider as you start your day. Happy Tuesday folks!

04.01.2022 - R O O M S P R A Y S - Sad to say but Saturday mornings for me usually consist of housework and copious amounts of washing - exciting hey! My housework routine always begins by lighting up the oil burner with my all time fave melts ‘The Beach House’ and then after the housework chores are done I finish with a spritz in each room of my fave room sprays. Sometimes I cut corners with the housework (time is not always on my side), but I figure if it smells good it feels clean right?

04.01.2022 - S H O P L O C A L - We’ve been super busy little bees today preparing for tomorrow’s market. Market weekends are crazy busy for us and it normally means working 7 days straight to ensure we’re on top of things. Handmade is hard work - long hours and little rest time, but we are incredibly fortunate to have a community who supports our little biz and keeps us motivated to keep powering through. Catch us and all your fave local makers, designers & creators tomorrow @thevillagemarkets - Burleigh State School 8:30-1pm.

03.01.2022 - M A R K E T W E E K E N D S - Preparing for markets is a whole lotta work, especially when your product is handmade. The majority of today was spent in our factory labelling, boxing and packing our product for the markets tomorrow. Behind all of the pretty Instagram pictures are a small team of people who work super hard, often 7 days a week, to produce quality handmade products. Market weekends for us essentially means very little down time but the upside is that tomorrow we get to hang with our market family and interact with the community that has helped to build our brand. See you tomorrow @thevillagemarkets Burleigh State School, 8:30-1pm

02.01.2022 - S P R I N G - The first day of a new season. The air is getting warmer, the days longer, and there’s a new energy... Summer is just around the corner and I for one couldn’t be happier. Adios Winter... until next year.

01.01.2022 - R E C H A R G E - This weekend we’re enjoying a little break from work. We’ve been doing some crazy long hours lately and it was starting to take its toll. We’re not going anywhere, just enjoying this beautiful place we live in and allowing ourselves time to breathe. Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend whatever you’re up to and rewarding yourself a little down time x

01.01.2022 - F R I D A Y - What a glorious feeling! Hope your work day is short and your weekend stretches on! . Stunning image by @elisecook

01.01.2022 - W I N T E R - I’ll be honest, Winter is not my fave season.... I love the warmth and energy of Summer. My biggest struggle is getting out of bed... I’ll dangle one foot out when my alarm goes off but the chill in the air and the dark mornings lure me back underneath the covers! There are some things I love about Winter.... if you watch our stories you’ll know we’re a bit partial to evenings by the fire pit. I also love Winter food - slow cooked curries, yummy warming soups, delish pasta - my jeans are getting tighter just typing this!! Creating a warm and cosy home is essential to make sure the Winter blues don’t take hold - light those candles (Drift of course), dust off those snuggly throws and create a cosy little oasis in your home. How many days til Summer again??
