Why candles JOGB?
"Candles instantly set a mood and a focus in your surroundings, and when it's an aroma you love, it becomes the hub of your home. I always burn candles, from the living room to the bedroom, to the hallway, to help set a mood for everyone around: to relax and to recharge. My darling husband Jim, who has designed everything to do with JOGB, says, 'give her a surface and she'll smother it with candles'... he's not always 'laughing' mind you!"
This is the beauty of JOGB: a joyous, positive mood-enhancing collection for the home that's the epitome of natural luxury, designed by Jo and husband Jim Stanton in conjunction with an intimate inspiring group of true British artisans. Let JOGB plays with your senses: make you feel vibrant, seductive or just downright chilled and 'hopefully' more content. It's an emotive collection created by a pretty emotional woman.
SHOP SCENTED CANDLES
It is key that JOGB candles are paraffin-free. Jo's youngest daughter suffers from asthma and Jo has an auto-immune disorder, both of which benefit hugely by reducing toxins in the home (from chemical room sprays to paraffin-wax that emits similar fumes to diesel) and by embracing ever increasing ways to unwind and de-stress in our busy modern lives. This is JOGB Living - to be honest it's modern living and the need to wellness to be exactly that - Living Well.
"Now more than ever, in our crazy, chaotic lives, I truly believe that we need to surround and immerse ourselves in a cocoon of contentment and security. So I've created this collection to touch a nerve and inspire your moods. It starts with candles because it's for your home and for your self - the perfect marriage between beauty & home: which sums up my career too! AND if like me you love burning candles they have to be as clean as possible too. I can't bear artificial perfumes OR the smell of paraffin wax candles: I literally have to leave the room when they're blown out. I certainly don't want to breathe that in - it's bad for our personal space (my youngest has mild asthma) and vets say it's bad for our pets too. Life to me is about creating positive energy: the fastest way I know how is through the natural luxury of fragrance using beautifully blended essential oils that enhance your mood, and so your life. Hence JOGB!
