Take Bullying & Turn It Into Motivation Like Lily Harper


 Have you ever wanted to give a gift around the holidays that not only puts a smile on someone’s face but also gives back to local charities? 

I am so happy to introduce you to the amazing work done by an 11 year old entrepreneur! Lily Harper has created a line of products after being put through hell at her school by bullies. Her tragic story about bullying and being shoved down a flight of stairs is heartbreaking and relatable for so many young people. Lily has begun her amazing journey after her parents decided to homeschool her, following the incident. You can read her full story here

I was tortured by bullies at school growing up and can honestly say that I wish I had the supportive parents Lily has. I dropped out in grade 7 and never went back so kudos to Lily and her parents for creating a bright future for this young lady. I truly hope more parents will read your strong story and help their kids break free from bullies and begin a thriving future for their little ones as well. 

As a wonderful way to give back and provide for others while she is making her way to success, Lily has decided to give proceeds from her hot chocolate candles of 50% to Vancouver Family Services. Way to go kid! You are truly a ground mover and I hope people will read this story and help you and others this holiday season! 

Lily provided me with a beautiful smelling essential oil along with my candle as well as a cheerful hand written note that I will keep forever as a unique reminder that there is always a way out of a bad situation. Now that I am a mother of 3 I am always hearing about bullies and advocating for my kids to have an easier school experience. This handwritten note will remind me to keep standing up for them and give me the motivation to overpower negative thoughts and emotions. 

Thank you Lily!


This hot chocolate candle smells so sweet and luxurious I could smell it filling my kitchen when I popped the lid off. The warm fuzzy feeling that this scent provides is subtle, delicate, and not over powering. What an amazing way to warm some hearts this year with a soy candle with all natural wooden wick that will light up the twinkle and spark joy this Christmas! Lily has a whole line of self care products if you want to get more than that and support this amazing young woman!
