UPDATE! CANDLE SCENT SELECTED! The winning name is Truth Serum Amy Smith is the winner!

My wife makes beard oils, soaps, candles, essential oils and other items to sell in her salon Ember + Ash Studio. She created a scent for a candle that I really like. She Wants to name it with a theme that relates to my business. I would like suggestion for a name for the scent that refers to private investigations, lie detection or something else that relates to what I do. I will send a free candle to the winner. Please post your idea in the comments of this post. You have 7 days to post an idea. After 7 days, if we choose your idea, I will create another post announcing the name. Some of my police friends will likely post some names in jest. Please keep it family friendly. 😀

I pray for comfort and peace for the family of Corporal Daniels. If you ever get to the point where you feel like there is no hope, please reach out to someone.

When Corporal Gary Daniels graduated from the Missouri State Highway Patrol Law Enforcement Academy in 2015, he had established the first bond in a trooper’s career: He would forever be a member of the 101st Recruit Class. Decades later, troopers can name everyone in their recruit class. Recruits make it through the rigorous six-month bootcamp-style academy because they learn they are part of a team. A team in which they can rely on one another when their lives are on the line. Over the next decade, Gary established other immutable bonds within the Patrol – first in Troop C; then Troop A, where he could be closer to his family in Kansas; then part of the Patrol’s recruiting division; and, most recently, at the Patrol’s academy, where he could help shape the careers of young recruits.
Each current Patrol member and the larger Patrol family ache over the tragic loss of Corporal Gary Daniels. Missouri Department of Public Safety Director Mark James, a member of Patrol’s 48th Recruit Class, said, “Our troopers are hurting because Gary Daniels was a valued member of the Patrol family with a stellar career. He recruited and encouraged young men and women that they could succeed in our organization and, then in the academy, he helped shape the future of the Patrol. The Patrol and the entire DPS family mourn this terrible loss. Our thoughts are with Gary’s family and all who loved him.”
We will remember Gary Daniels for his selfless service to the public and for upholding the values of the Missouri State Highway Patrol. He will forever be part of the Patrol team.

Visit a local business for your skin care needs. She has more scents than you can imagine. Schedule a birthday party or just a social event with friends. If you want to purchase premixed scents, she has those as well.

I try to vote in every election. I made it today. If you don’t vote, don’t complain about the decisions your elected officials make.

During recovery from my spinal surgeries, I needed something creative to focus on. What started as experimenting with fragrance and ingredients at home has slowly turned into something really fun.
Lately I’ve been making custom body products for clients who requested specific scents, and I’ve loved being able to create something just for them.

Everything is made by me with simple ingredients you can actually pronounce, skin-loving oils, and fragrances inspired by some of our favorite scents.

Recently created:

🌟 A tropical caramel pistachio body butter inspired by a very famous Brazilian cream
Brazilian Glow Cream (bum bum)

🌟A bold masculine body butter inspired by a luxury cologne favorite
Creed Glow (masculine) (Adventus)

🌟A soft floral perfume-style body butter
Graceful Glow (dupe of Sweet Grace)

🌟 Pre shave/beard oil made from rich oils that are incredibly beneficial for skin
Blue Reserve (dupe of Bleu de Chanel)

🌟Room and linen spray

🌟Car diffusers

🌟Candles

The body butter leaves your skin moisture sized and smelling amazing. I have tried a variety of formulas and this is by far my favorite!

🌟 A “better-for-you” laundry powder scented with a warm, clean fragrance everyone loves. Two different client requests
Self Absorbed (narcissist) and Graceful Glow (dupe of Sweet Grace). The fragrance lasts so long and leaves your clothes smelling amazing. Can be made in powder or liquid form.

This whole fragrance experiment started while I was healing… and somehow it has turned into an obsession with creating beautiful scents and products from scratch.

I don't want to get sued so I have changed the fragrance names.

More coming soon under Ember + Ash. 🔥
