Welcome to Autour - Société Privée

Welcome to Autour - Société Privée, where I am happy to connect and bring together visionary females that will inspire and empower, educate and motivate each other to be a better and brighter version of ourselves. There is no doubt we live not in the best times as there is so much negative energy in the air, and it is our job to keep it away from us and turn it into something positive instead. 
I have had this project in the works for as long as I can remember, but I didn't have the courage and motivation to actually launch it. It took me years to be where I am at today, and I am grateful for the experience I had, which eventually brought me here, where I belong. 

 I know it is hard, and it takes time, but if you put your mind and heart into it, you will accomplish anything you desire, and believe me, the universe will give you a hand. It is easy to lose yourself in all the noise around us; society is constantly putting pressure on women as to what we should do, how we should look, what we should wear and eat, how to act, etc.

Aside from living for ourselves, we, as women, have multiple roles to fulfill, we are mothers, daughters, wives, sisters, and friends, and we have to be there for everyone and, at the same time, be there for ourselves. No doubt, you need to fulfill all these roles, but until you take care of yourself and become your own priority first, you won't be able to live a fulfilling life. 

No one is expecting you to be perfect, and if they do, it is on them, not you. You just have to do whatever is in your power to become better, stronger, and smarter each day and develop in the way you want to move forward. Just accept this simple truth, and your life will be so much better: "Everything is within your power, and your power is within you," Janice Trachtman.
This community is for females who want to make a change, who want to help and support each other, educate, inspire and find purpose. We are not here to spread bad news and gossip. We are here to be able to run away from all that stress and negativity and create a better space for everyone to live in and feel comfortable about themselves. 

It is important to take care of ourselves, carve out time in this daily hustle and stop for a moment to evaluate our goals and dreams. When someone tells me, "we are too small and can't change what's going on," I always say we can. Even if you do something small, it counts. I wish we could move mountains and stop all the atrocities happening in this world, but we can't do it alone, and no one will be able to do it alone. It is a collective process, and if we all contribute and do our part in smaller things, in the big picture, it will matter. 

And remember: "there is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish."
Candles have always been my passion, and I have always wanted to create a product with a purpose. I have decided to donate the portion from sales to various female organizations that serve the purpose of empowering and educating women all over the world.
Our luxury curated selection of scented soy wax candles is hand-poured in Los Angeles, and each of them is created around a female character and sensation. 
Thank you for being a part of this journey! I am very excited for what's ahead, grow together, inspire each other, educate, and much much more!

Let your femininity unwind, and fill our soul and surroundings with Autour.
