Hi Reader,

Did you know that just 15 minutes of creative activity can significantly reduce stress hormones in your body?

Science continues to validate what artists have always known.

Creativity is essential for mental wellbeing.

In this week's newsletter, we're diving into research-backed creative practices that boost your brain health, from the meditative benefits of adult coloring (now 30% off!) to the sensory experience of candle making in our newest workshop.

🎨 GET CREATIVE: THIS WEEK'S PROMPT

A new workshop is in the HobbyScool Craft & Create Club and it's perfect for anyone who's ever thought, "I don't know where to begin with candle making" or "It seems too complicated for me."

This workshop is lead by Laura Ascher, the creative mind behind Our Oily House, who has been crafting natural home products for over ten years and loves helping beginners create a toxin-free home—no complicated techniques required!

Her practical DIY recipes have been featured in The Spruce, Business Insider, Marie Claire, and many other publications.

As a certified doTERRA Essential Oil Specialist and author of "Natural Remedies for Your Home & Health," Laura brings expert knowledge to her popular beeswax candle tutorials.

Using simple ingredients and tools you likely already have at home, you'll discover how to:

• Select the perfect wax for your specific candle projects (and why it matters!)
• Add fragrance like a pro with essential oils or fragrance blends for stunning scent throw
• Master proper melting and pouring techniques for bubble-free, professional-looking candles
• Personalize your creations with natural colorants, dried flowers, and creative containers

By the end, you'll have crafted your own beautifully scented candle, but more importantly, you'll have the confidence and knowledge to continue your candle making journey with endless creative possibilities!
