CANDLE INSPIRATION
Apostates are no strangers to self-love. And whether that's the "self-abuse" variety (wink wink, nudge nudge), or that important journey towards realizing that you're not inherently evil, this candle is here for it.
It can be hard to unlearn years of indoctrination tearing down your self-worth.
It can be hard setting boundaries with loved ones who think you're damning yourself.
It can be exhausting deconstructing and reconstructing your entire identity and sense of reality.
Which is why those self-care days are so incredibly important.
The "Self-Care Day" candle is here to remind you of the importance of your mental health as you step out of fundamentalist religions like Mormonism. And to help you celebrate the newfound possibilities you discover as you take your mental health into your own hands instead of relying on outside, church authorities.
JORDAN AND MCKAY
A percentage of "Self-Care Day" will go to Jordan and McKay. Here's a little about them!
Your two favorite ex-Mormon apostates take you on a comedic exploration and analysis of new and old religious fundamentalism. Every week they examine hot-button issues like shame, sexuality, purity culture, and misogyny from a post-religious lens. Come and join the affirming and inclusive space for everyone navigating deconstruction, society, and culture.
Here's one of their videos!
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.

This is such a delightful scent and while it’s fruity and bright, it’s not overly tropical so I’d burn it year round. I love wafting in the delicious notes of pineapple, agave, and goji berry and I care for my damn self.

A wonderfully bright scent but not overpowering. The perfect candle to burn while relaxing with a good book, taking a well-deserved bubble bath or just watching your favorite Netflix flick and practicing that darn self care

Hurrah for all of those forms of self-care! I love the brightness of it, too, and think it goes really well with the concept of self-care. I think Jordan and McKay did a great job coming up with it, and I’m so happy it’s part of our collection. Thank you so much for supporting them and us by getting this candle and taking the time to leave such a nice review! Happy self-caring, Shannon!

This is by far the best smelling candle ever!! It smells like citrus and warmth and summer I wish it would last forever. Got this candle as a gift and I had been dreaming of it ever since Jordan and McKay first mentioned it on the podcast. The smell may be fantastic but the quality is even better, that candle lasted for so long and burned perfectly.

Woohoo! I’m so happy you like it, Brennan! Here’s to self-care days, and to Jordan and McKay! Also…a huge thank you for leaving a review. It really does help so much.
