Blessed with an insight into the world of talented local artist Ben Sanderson, we were delighted to visit him in his immersive creative space, at his studio in West Cornwall.

As the May bank holiday approaches, it's the perfect time to embrace the exhilarating and refreshing experience of wild sea swimming in Cornwall.

Every May, the Mental Health Foundation invites us to join in Mental Health Awareness Week, a time to shine a light on the issues that matter most for our mental wellbeing. They use this special occasion to start conversations about topics that affect us all, hoping to build understanding, support, and positive change in how we view and tackle mental health challenges. 

Here at St. Eval, we seek inspiration from our close affinity with nature and let the powerful scents of the coast and countryside guide us seasonally through daily life. Heralding our attention, enchanting our senses and soothing our mind, the phenomenon of essential oils and true fragrance effortlessly enhances your space with your favourite scent notes of flourishing flora, tantalisingly bright citrus or garden fresh herbs. This mental health awareness week, we've collated a few of our best kept fragrances to help scent the season, relieve your mind and let the wonder of wellbeing adapt to your needs this May.

Here at St. Eval, we are immensely blessed to share such a close affinity with nature, seeking inspiration from the idyllic flora and fauna across Cornwall and beyond. This Monday, we're celebrating Earth Day and taking time to reflect on this year's theme, explore a whistlestop tour on the day's history and the important symbolism of Earth Hour'. 

At St. Eval, if there's one thing we love just as much as crafting our nature-inspired candles, it's talking, comparing stories and sharing endless endearing pictures of our pets. In honour of National Pet Day, we've collated some of St. Eval's own favourite furry, feathered or scaly friends from throughout the factory, office and management teams. Bridging conversations and connecting the team, we're brimming with pride and are chuffed to spread the special joy and magic of animal companionship with you too.
