Zest for Life is a lemon candle that captures pure sunshine in a jar — a vibrant blend of lemon peel and earthy sage that instantly lifts your spirits. It’s the scent of a fresh start, a clear head, and a kitchen filled with light.

Whether you’re lighting this lemon candle to energise your morning or bring clarity to your space, it’s all about brightness and renewal. The label artwork was adapted from the background of my original painting Live Life to the Max — bursting with warm, citrusy tones to echo the clean, zesty fragrance inside (see it in the photo gallery!).

If you’re curious about why lemon peel feels so energising, take a look at Healthline’s article on the benefits of lemon peel — it’s nature’s little burst of brightness and part of what inspired this scent’s lively character.

Handcrafted with care and a sprinkle of artistic magic in my coastal Queensland studio.

Want the scent without lighting a candle?

This fragrance is also available as a matching room spray and matching wax melts — perfect for instantly refreshing a space, layering with your candle, or enjoying the scent during the day when a flame isn’t practical. A few sprays is all it takes to bring the same beautiful mood into your home.

Quick Tips

Sizes

Signature Candle

My most generous size, designed to feel both elegant and special. It comes in a matte white glass jar with a reinforced base, finished with a white wooden lid and presented in a beautiful gift box. With 270 g of wax, it offers approximately 45 hours of burn time, making it perfect for everyday enjoyment or as a thoughtful, ready-to-gift piece.

Large Tin Candle

A smaller, more portable option, created for flexibility and ease. Housed in a matte white vessel with a matching lid, it offers around 25 hours of burn time. It’s ideal if you love a lighter footprint — whether you’re travelling in a campervan, moving between rooms, or simply prefer a slightly smaller candle without compromising on quality or atmosphere.

Quick Tips

Please take a moment to read my Candle Care Guide before lighting. It’s really important for your safety and will help your candle burn beautifully, right to the end.

Crafted with Care

Artful finish: Each label is lovingly finished by hand — I brush on tiny gold specks, then seal it with a hand-applied varnish. It’s my way of adding a touch of artistic magic to every candle, since I can’t hand paint each one individually.

Handcrafted with care: Every candle is made in small batches in my home studio, using only high-quality, vegan-friendly ingredients.

100% soy wax: No blends, no nasties — just clean-burning, sustainable wax.

Natural wicks: Cotton or wood wicks for a calm, steady burn.

Phthalate-free fragrances: Gentle on you, better for your space.

Premium jars and tins: Heat-resistant and stylish enough to reuse or display.
