The ultimate way to comfort, peace and calm in today’s hectic life

JOGB Living…in Wellness

Home is the true environment of scent. When we are increasingly overstressed and overstretched in our daily lives, where better to feel comfort, uplifted, more relaxed or reinvigorated? Where else can you truly pause, breathe, relax and unwind if not in your personal space - your home?
Dim the lights, immerse yourself in our pure aromatherapy oils and candles, and snuggle up in a super soft alpaca wrap. Be cosy, be safe, be happy and above all, be YOU.

Everyone in life needs to know how to find a little comfort, a moment of calm, and a quick pathway to peace: life’s just too crazy out there. Come find yourself with JOGB!

AROMA makes me happy. Scent is the most powerful of our senses and has the ability to lift our mood, boost our memory and train our brain to think more positively. I’m talking 100% pure, therapy grade plant aromas from nature: essential oils not synthetic smells.

Throughout life as a mother of three, author/writer beauty & wellness in magazines, newspapers and books, Reiki Master and Aromatherapist, I’ve always been passionate about botanical aromas.

After being diagnosed with an auto-immune disease (Multiple Sclerosis) in 2011, and on the advice of experts - including a Shaman, a naturopath, and my own neurologist, I began to reduce toxicity in the home by removing cleaning sprays and paraffin wax candles. It’s been my journey ever since.

Inspired, I went on a quest to make my mind and body better, stronger, and to encourage others on the way.

I trained as an Aromatherapist, Reiki Master, in EFT, and Autogenic Meditation. All in an attempt to practice new ways to reduce stress, relax my entire self for a calmer, more peaceful life.

Each of these positive mindset tools have helped me to manage pain, surgery, difficult emotional times, and helped me to feel more stronger and in control of my energy and my surroundings: my home and my self.

’LIVING well’, to me, now means cocooning and creating a sense of wellness through comfort in the home environment.

Beautiful botanical aromas enhance your every mood and can help you find inner peace in your space too. This is the true power of pure plant aromas.

My years working in the beauty industry, experiencing every brand first hand has not been wasted: I know a great aroma when I smell it! JOGB MOJO, GOJO and SLOJO are 100% natural luxury botanical aromatherapy blends. You will find the same vegan, therapeutic grade essential oil blend used in our Mood Drops, Moments Roller Ball oils, to our exclusive JOGB Candles that use eco cotton wicks, and are made in the UK exclusively for JOGB (sadly due to an essential burning component 0.5% of our candle wax is beeswax - although sustainably sourced).

Why candles? Candlelight gives comfort. The enforced dimmed light encourages relaxation, deep breathing, aids meditation and peaceful thinking. I always advise to avoid the more commonly & cheaply available (98%) paraffin wax base that emit toxic fumes akin to diesel oil in closed spaces - the home.

Trust me, you cannot experience these aromas anywhere else: the exclusive raw pure oil blend is at 10%: “no-one uses an oil that expensive in a candle” we were told: ‘we shall’. You get what you pay for. These burn beautifully and customers comment how they get no headaches (often from paraffin fumes) and can breathe better with our blends. Why even the occasional postman has been reluctant to part with the parcel. Now you can experience the same aroma blends - GOJO, MOJO and SLOJO - in pure Mood Drops to dilute in the bath or diffuse in the air, to help enhance your home environment.

Come find your favourite aroma - though it may change with your mood! We’re here.

“To me, candles are home. They’re a sign of peace. A bridge between the senses: aroma and beauty, comfort and relaxation; they instantly give out a true sense of wellbeing - after all, you took the time to stop, light a match and take a breath for YOU.
— Jo GB

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.

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!
