Hi guys! As you know I am still in New Hampshire, soaking up the sun and the family time before fall's jampacked calendar begins. I like to joke that our town on the lake is not your typical 'summer' town. That's why we love it! There is really only one restaurant to go out to, otherwise we're taking turns hosting dinner parties on our patios. One thing I do every night is light a Hotel Lobby Candle - whether I'm setting the table for dinner with our summer squad or spending the evening on the couch with a good read. Speaking of good reads, I just finished We Must Not Think of Ourselves from Jenna Bush Hager's book club list,
here's a link to the book if you want to check it out. I have spent the entire summer reading
Jenna's Book Club picks, curled up with my kindle and Hotel Lobby Candle's Signature scent lit. I am very excited to introduce you to Lindsay, their Founder.
You might already know her from Instagram @LindsaySilb - I have been following her for years! Imagine my delight when our teams connected to start working on a fun summer giveaway together. Lindsay is best known for her beauty and fashion round ups - after a decade as a magazine editor she knows her stuff. This is a GREAT giveaway: $800 worth of Jane Win and Hotel Lobby Candle goodies.

Lindsay! First and foremost, introduce yourself to those who don't know you (although I am sure so many of our customers do!).
I’m Lindsay, founder of Hotel Lobby Candle. I spent a decade writing and editing for magazines like Town & Country, Vogue, and Elle Decor (to date, I’ve traveled to 62 countries).
I live between New York City and Miami with my husband (who is also my business partner) and our mini long-haired Dachshund. Nothing brings me more joy than ordering a martini in a hotel lobby bar...and turn-down service is my love language.
You started Hotel Lobby Candle in 2020, quit your corporate job and took a leap of faith in your business. Tell us more about how HLC came to be.
In 2020, COVID-19 brought the world to a standstill.
One of life’s pleasures we missed the most was the magic of a long-awaited vacation (and we were pretty sure we weren’t alone).
So we had an idea: If we couldn’t leave our homes, could we bring the five-star hotel experience to us?
Each candle is inspired by scent memories from some of our favorite places...
The electric energy of Miami.
The mystery and romance of Paris.
The balmy, be-happy vibes of the Caribbean.
Tell us about your #JWNeckmess! We love how you layer your coins and charms.
My first coin was the Lucky Coin! Since then, I have added the Wheels of Fortune Chain, Petite Embellished Full Heart, and Protect Coin.
Thank you Lindsay for sharing your story with the JW Girl Gang. And don't forget to enter the giveaway here.
