Hey everyone, it's been a while. It's funny, I have written a few blog posts in the last 6 months but never posted them, they always seemed unfinished. My life is a big old question mark right now and navigating it has been difficult and confusing.
As many of you know, I started my own business in 2020. It's been an amazing part of my life until now. Now it's becoming a burden. If I am being real with you guys, financially the business is not working or making enough money. I had to move out of my storage unit and pack away everything under the stairs in the apartment I live in. Due to my living arrangements, continuing the business in my home is not feasible anymore. I do not have enough room to keep things clean and organized and separated from my day-to-day living. It would become a nightmare. I need separation in life for certain things, and running a business was one of them.
I am at a breaking point where I can no longer joyously run a business and balance my personal life. I do not love running the business anymore. Although we are closing shop, you can continue to shop the available candles on our website + in-store with The Makers Hub of Canada until the end of 2022.

I do not want this goodbye to be forever, but I do not know what the future holds, all I can do is focus on things one day at a time, but something needs to give, and unfortunately this is it. As I said, this is not forever, and I hope to reopen doors one day soon and continue to create candles for your grounding practices.
For now, I need to remember what I always tell you guys, and I need to put my own needs first and take a step back to understand how to take a step forward. I love you all, thank you for the years of support and kindness you have shown me and Simple Ritual. All your photos, emails, messages, story sharing and reviews have made me so happy and pushed me to keep going through a lot of hard times.
There are other things in my life I want to get back to like writing, blogging, and making fun videos on YouTube. I miss that. There are a lot of things you can do for free but generally speaking, you need some money to be able to live and right now I am not living because ALL my extra money is going into paying for business needs. I cannot move forward with my life the way this is going. This is such a hard choice to make but for my mental health, I need to make it.
This is not really a goodbye, it's more of a see you later. Thank you for everything <3.
My name is Anna, and I’d like to share my journey of battling oral and genital herpes. For four long years, I found myself caught in a relentless cycle of discomfort, anxiety, and stigma. Despite trying various medications, I felt like I was losing the battle. The frequent outbreaks impacted not only my physical well-being but also my emotional health and social interactions. I often felt hopeless, believing that I was destined to live with this condition forever.
ReplyDeleteDuring this difficult period, I exhausted numerous treatment options, from antiviral medications to topical ointments. While some provided temporary relief, none offered a permanent solution. Each time I experienced an outbreak, I felt overwhelmed by anxiety, constantly worrying about how it affected my life and my relationships. I often felt the weight of stigma associated with herpes, which left me feeling isolated and misunderstood.
It was during this period of struggle that I came across information about Dr. Utu’s herbal remedy online. Initially skeptical, I decided to reach out to him via email at drutuherbalcure@gmail.com. To my surprise, Dr. Utu responded quickly and with genuine compassion. He provided reassurance and took the time to understand my situation. After discussing my symptoms and medical history, he tailored a personalized herbal remedy for me. His approach was holistic, and felt comforting compared to the clinical nature of conventional treatments I had been receiving.
I committed myself to following his instructions diligently, incorporating the herbal remedy into my daily routine as advised. Throughout the treatment, I felt hopeful for the first time in years. Dr. Utu remained supportive, checking in on my progress and encouraging me to share any changes I observed.
Upon completing the treatment course, I felt an overwhelming mixture of anticipation and anxiety as I prepared for my medical tests. My heart raced as I awaited the results, unsure of what to expect. To my astonishment, the first test confirmed I was herpes-free! In disbelief, I scheduled a second test to confirm those results, and once again, it came back negative.
The moment I received those results was life-changing. I realized that I had finally overcome the stigma and suffering that had consumed my life for so long. I felt a profound sense of relief and liberation; finally, I could envision a brighter future without the shadow of herpes looming over me. My overall quality of life has significantly improved since that day. I can freely engage in social activities, enjoy relationships without fear, and experience life without the constant anxiety of outbreaks.
Dr. Utu’s herbal remedy not only offered physical healing but also restored my confidence and peace of mind. I am incredibly grateful for his support and expertise, which truly made a significant difference in my life. For anyone out there struggling with herpes or any similar condition, I strongly encourage you to consider reaching out to Dr. Utu. His herbal remedies are not just effective; they represent hope and healing. Your journey may feel daunting, but know that there are options available. You don’t have to suffer in silence.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I hope my experience offers encouragement to those facing similar battles. You are not alone, and there is hope for a happier and healthier life ahead.
