Honestly, I don't even remember the exact moment I became addicted to candles. I just remember every time I walked into a store that had a candle section, I would stand there and sniff every candle on the shelf. I always felt something so magical about the power of fragrance through illuminating a candle; it has always transported me to nostalgic memories. Several years passed before I finally followed my heart to learn the process of candle making. In 2014, I made the decision to learn how to make candles the artisanal way, and fell in love with the process. With quality candles and sustainability dear to my heart, Collectively Curated Scents was born in 2017. My candle line has a minimal yet modern aesthetic coupled with a natural eco-friendly clean burn. Every candle is scented with phthalate-free premium fragrance or essential oils. All candles are hand-poured in micro-batches with natural coconut-blended wax and given a zinc-free, natural, flat cotton wick. I hope every one of my candles brightens up your life and home.

ColorFullXChange creator and owner, Tess Shimoyama, has been natural since 2006. She has tons of experience with natural hair. After several “big chops” of her own, the one in 2015 was something different. She has always had a passion for hair care and quality hair care products. Not a stylist but a wife and a stay-at-home mom of two, Tess created something innovative for Philly’s natural hair scene. ColorFullXChange was created after sitting on the hallway floor overwhelmed with the amount of products she had and didn’t use. The thought of a product swap came to mind instantly but where? When? How? The summer of 2016, Tess hosted the first (natural) hair product Swap event in the tristate area, Manes & Mimosas. Participants come to exchange new or gently-used hair products as well as hair tips & tricks while being educated on hair care topics such as coloring, cutting/trimming, styling & proper maintenance, by a licensed hair stylist. Tess created partnerships with local vendors (boutiques & business) so event goers can support small businesses while enjoying some retail therapy. The event was successful and four events later, ColorFullXChange had become more than ever anticipated. During this time of evolution for ColorFullXChange, Tess dealt with some unexpected issues with severe dry scalp during her pregnancy with her son. Her Dermatologist prescribed two medicated shampoos that were harsh and dried out her hair. So Tess took matters into her own hands to combat her diagnosis of seborrheic dermatitis aka adult cradle cap. After researching essential oils and comparing high-priced product lines, Tess’ Oil Blend™? was born. Tess has big plans for ColorFullXChange so stayed tuned. In the meantime, make sure you’re following the IG and FB pages and you join the Facebook group for updates, articles and sales!
