The wicked souls in the great and spacious building can't stop laughing. And you know what makes it worse? They're laughing loudly, in clear violation of their temple covenants! (Gasp.)
The great and spacious building might be a horrible place, but it would also be a fantastic Christmas baking challenge, wouldn't it?! Certainly worthy of that coveted Paul Hollywood handshake!
Fill your home with the scent of gingerbread, almond, and nutmeg, and titter to exmormon TikTok to your heart's content!
If you're going to be an unrighteous giggler in the great and spacious building, may as well smell scrumptious while you're at it!
SCENTS
Straight out of a Relief Society cookbook, this candle smells like yummy Christmas gingerbread! When you first smell it, you'll get a kick of ginger blended with other holiday spices, and as you allow yourself to explore the scent, you'll find notes of almond, molasses, and sugar crystals to bring depth and deliciousness to this fragrance.
• Top Notes: ginger
• Middle Notes: almond, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove
• Base Notes: molasses, sugar crystals
CANDLE INSPIRATION
In the Book of Mormon, the prophet Lehi has a vision where worldly folks are hanging out in a "great and spacious building" laughing at the poor, persecuted followers of light and goodness. (If you were never Mormon and you're interested, you can read all of Lehi's vision by Googling 1 Nephi 8.)
It doesn't matter if laughter is part of your healing. If you're laughing at any part of your Mormon experience now that you've left, you're a bad, bad person! Shame on you! (But also, please be my friend because laughter is the only way I've managed to stay sane through my faith transition.)
Today, you might say TikTok is the great and spacious building, but I like to imagine it as a grand Christmas gingerbread house with frosting and Dots and all the trimmings!
QUALITY + SUSTAINABILITY
All ExMo Candles are hand-poured in small batches, and each of our recipes is tweaked and tested before coming online. We take pride in the quality of our candles.
Our candles are also vegan-friendly, made and packaged sustainably, and pthalate-free. Our commitment to sustainability includes a partnership with One Tree Planted, where we donate the money to plant 100 trees for every 100 candles sold.
Finally, the removable labels on our jars make them easy to upcycle. Woohoo!
DISCREET PACKAGING
We know that you might be living with members of the church, or heck, that your mailman might be Mormon. For that reason, we've chosen not to brand our outer packaging in any way. No one will be able to tell from the outside of the box that you've ordered anything related to being an ex-Mormon. This includes the shipping label, which will simply say it's from Jen + Adri.

The "Great and Spacious Gingerbread House" candle is guaranteed to give you 40+ hours of burn time. It comes in a glass jar with an aluminum lid, and it measures 3.5" tall and 2.75" across. The net weight is 7.1 oz.

Do I have other candles from you know where that claim to smell like this? Yes. But do they smell as good and real as this one? NO! This ain’t no store-bought gingerbread either. I love the spices and almond notes! YUM. Don’t burn down your great and spacious building–I mean, GINGERBREAD HOUSE–down with the cute little matchbook they send with it!

This smells so yummy! It’s nice to know I’m not alone in the great and spacious gingerbread building, I have all my other exmo candle friends there to join me! Seriously though, it’s the little things like your exmo candles that make all the difference in helping me feel less alone in my post mormon experience!

That physical reminder that you’re not alone is so important to us, and I’m so happy our candles help you feel that!!! Sending you huge exmo hugs, Lee!!!
