Spring break in Charlotte hits different when you leave with a custom candle that smells EXACTLY like you. 🕯️✨
We have poured candles with guests of every age and every vibe at our candle bar in Cornelius NC and there is nothing we love more than watching a group walk in not knowing what they want and walk out completely obsessed with what they made.
Private workshops for groups of 5 or more and Candle Corners for just a few of you. If you are looking for something fun to do in the Lake Norman area this spring break, this is it. Walk-ins welcome Tuesday through Friday 11 to 2 and Saturday 11 to 4.
Spring break dates are going fast. Link in bio to book your spot. 💕
Me: I am going to film this once, nail it, and move on.
Also me: films it 10 times and cries every single one!!!
I got awkward trying to hold it together on camera and I am posting it anyway because this story is the whole reason our little pink studio exists and it is time more people knew it!!
We talk about this stuff nonstop in our classes but it is time to start sharing it out here too. Clean candles, toxin-free home products, what is actually burning and hiding in the things you bring into your home. So we are just going to dive all the way in!!!
Because what goes into your home matters. What your kids are breathing matters. And you deserve to know exactly what is in every single thing you light, spray, and pour.
It is going to get nerdy. It is going to get sassy. And I genuinely cannot help any of this!!!
Welcome to Bells Box Collective! We can’t wait to have you in 💖

Confession time…
Hi, my name is Cory and I have a candle container addiction. 🙋🏼♀️
Every spring when our new vessels start arriving I tell myself the same thing:
“Cory, you absolutely do not need another candle for your house.”
And then something like this little beauty hits the shelves and suddenly I’m in the back pouring “just one for myself.” 😂
This one is filled with bergamot, beachwood, and sel de mar and it smells like that first warm day when you open the windows, the air feels crisp again, and you remember that spring is officially doing her thing!!
Also… can we talk about the container?!
The soft creamy glaze, the little scalloped edge, the vintage-meets-spring energy… she understood the assignment!!! And I can’t wait to style her in my house!
Fun fact: I am absolutely terrible at remembering to post all the cute containers we have in the studio (our shelves are literally overflowing right now), but every once in a while one stops me in my tracks and I have to show her off.
If you’re ready for fresh, happy, open-the-windows season…spring candles are officially here and I am VERY excited about it. 🌸✨
XOXO
Cory

XOXO,
Your Bells Box Collective elves 💖
PS the sale ends tonight at midnight 🙌🏻
I am back at my Nutcracker shenanigans so buckle up.
The amount of joy this six foot pink nutcracker brings me is unreal. And honestly, Jax loves him even more than I do which makes it that much more fun!! That child will look at me in the middle of June and ask where Mr. Bells is and when he is coming back. To him, Mr. Bells is basically a holiday roommate who just temporarily lives in storage. 🤣
So every year I unlock that storage unit and there he is, standing front and center like he has been patiently waiting for me. (And yes, of course I filmed it. And no, the storyline might not make perfect sense because I absolutely drove him there… and then made it look like he opened the door for himself. Just go with me on this. It is holiday magic on a budget and I am candle maker not a film maker, dang it 🤣l!!)
Anyhooo… He has been a staple at the studio for the last three years and people walk in asking about him before they even notice the candles. He is officially part of the Bells Box crew and he knows it.
And then there is this little piece that tugs my heart every season. Something about his pure white hair and big ol eyebrows gives me such strong Gil vibes. My dad has been gone for over a decade but having Mr. Bells around during the holiday hustle feels like having a tiny bit of my dad cheering me on through the long nights, being proud of what I have built and soaking up the glittery chaos and community. It is silly and sweet but it just feels good so I’m rolling with it!!
So here we are. Mr. Bells is officially back for the season and ready to bring a little pink magic to anyone who walks through the studio.
We love when people take selfies with him. It makes his day. And mine 💖💖 so book a class, come buy a candle and hang out with us this holiday season!
See you soon
Xoxo,
Cory + Mr. Bells
