The NOTES® Blog

We’ve been keeping a pretty big secret… WE’RE IN WHOLE FOODS! We’ve been working hard to share the new way to candle with as many planet-loving people as possible, and we’re thrilled to announce our team-up with Whole Foods. You can find a select number of refills and vessels at your local Whole Foods in the home and lifestyle section.

Forget Christmas, Easter, Halloween ­– our favorite holiday is clear (and almost here)! Earth Day honors the environment, raises awareness for conservation efforts, and brings together the planet and its people.

It’s officially our favorite month of the year – Earth Month! There’s no beauty quite like our planet & its people. NOTES® was inspired by nature, so it’s only right we give it the credit it’s due. Here are five spaces that remind us of our colorful fragrances:

Spring has sprung and we're in a pollen-induced haze of sunshine and good vibes. We’re celebrating with simple tips to sustainably enjoy the season. From getting our hands a little dirty in the name of our green thumb, to maximizing the morning commute, we can all play a part in making the upcoming months filled with more memories and less waste.

Get the dirt on compost: what is it, and why should you care? Well, for starters, each year in the United States, approximately 133 billion pounds of food is wasted. I get it, I’m totally guilty of tossing that last chicken tender I can’t quite scarf down. But this is actually a serious problem. You see, organic matter in a landfill (like food scraps) decomposes anaerobically, meaning without access to oxygen. When waste breaks down without oxygen, it produces greenhouse gases (primarily methane), which accumulate in the atmosphere and contribute to global warming. You’ve probably heard this before – cue the melting icecaps, the volatile natural disasters, and rising sea levels. Don’t worry, there is a bright side to this. 

It's officially women's history month and fireworks are being cued as we speak. March is a time to celebrate the strength of women, their accomplishments, and leading lady sisterhood. To kick off the celebration, we're sharing some of our favorite female-owned sustainable brands.
