As I sip my coffee this morning I’m taken back to a monthly ritual I enjoyed for years… Getting comfy in a quiet spot with a cup of coffee and the latest issue of Vogue. In these moments I’d created for myself, I would flick through the pages admiring the fashion and reading about amazing women doing incredible things. Vogue was, for me, the pillar of elegance and style.

Now, 15 years on, I’m excited and truly honoured that Esencias is being featured in the February issue of British Vogue amongst other gorgeous international brands.

I regularly take time to reflect on the journey of Esencias so far with gratitude in my heart. There are so many moments that brought important lessons allowing me to grow as a creator and a woman in business.

Watching my vision evolve into a brand that continues to encourage people to find space to enjoy special moments is humbling. Moving forward with the dream to make beautiful products with this intent saw me blessed with many opportunities as well as challenges to overcome. The latter included learning to make decisions in alignment with my values, which are by default part of the Esencias brand.

Just over a year since the birth of Esencias, we’ve reached the homes and workplaces of hundreds of people and secured spaces in some beautiful retail stores. We’ve connected directly with people at product showcases in their homes and these luxe afternoons have been real highlights. We’ve worked with clients to create custom orders suited to their businesses and events, and received customer reviews and feedback that at times brings a tear to my eye.

In November we celebrated our one-year anniversary and launched the gorgeous Luxe Candle in Tuscan Vineyard, our signature fragrance.

Maybe it’s Mercury and Venus retrograde that’s making me so keen to pause and reflect on the journey so far. It makes me see more clearly that working to bring our dreams into reality is a thing, and our feature in British Vogue really brings that home!

Thanks to everyone who has been part of Esencias so far and supported me in growing the business. May your dreams come true. Watch out for exciting new things coming in 2022.

Its so Vogue! Realising a long-held dream.
