    Lesley L.

    I was so excited to read about Yo Soy Candle opening during the pandemic and offering safe, socially distanced group classes for making your own soy-based candle! Classes for up to 4 people are offered so that you can be 6 ft apart. She keeps the door open and has both a fan and air purifier running. Masks are required and gloves are provided. There hasn't been much available to do with friends indoors during the pandemic, and this was really fun. Leslie, the owner and instructor, is patient and enthusiastic. There is a focus on positivity, mindfulness, and setting an intention. She has 25 scents available to mix with advice on which mix best. There are 3 different vessels to choose from, ranging from. $30 for 8 oz to $45 for 16 oz. The whole process was fun and laid back. She shares space with a plant shop as well as a block-printed textiles shop. People taking classes can get 10% off pre-made candles, pots, and plant stands, it was fun to browse the other shops while I was there. My only complaint is that you have to wait 4 hours for your candle to set, so you can't take it hind right away!

    Two candles I bought. They smell divine

Perfect for dates, events, hanging out or anything. Highly recommended. The owner is one of the best and sweetest. What an amazing experience pouring wax, smelling scents and chatting with her and the other guest. It was great Vibes the entire time! Great Black Owned establishment.

    What a fun time we had visiting and making our own fragrant candles at Mister OK's Essentials. We…read moreparticipated in the Yelp event to try out this Black Owned Business and turned into a fun afternoon with my husband checking out Alberta Street. We had about 12+ people in the class we attended. What I appreciated most was the overview from Precious, the owner, as she kicked off the class and understanding why she started this business. "She began in 2017 when her son was born. She realized she and her family were burning candles, but didn't like what was in the air when they were burning and the chemicals the candles were putting out into the air. From that, Mister OK's was born. " The product produced (and the one the candles you make) use high quality oils paired with a wooden wick to eliminate soot and 100% soy wax for longevity. She walked us through how to assemble the candle wick, enjoy the available fragrances and be creative in producing our own scent, and an easy process of fusing the scent with the soy wax. Once your candle was done, you were encouraged to go enjoy the local stores on Alberta and come back in about 30 minutes to pick up your product. When we came back, we spent time getting to know Precious and her story much deeper. She is truly an inspiring young woman who is an entrepreneur at heart. I would strongly recommend anyone to grab your friends, your significant other or a family member and just come out for some fun while walking away with an enjoyable product. I've been burning my candle during the day in my home office and it's made a wonderful addition and brought some relaxation to my environment. The only recommendation I have is for Precious to be more vocal and promote the product she makes and has for sale in addition to making your own candle. :-) https://www.misteroksessentials.com/

    Who doesn't love home decor and CLEAN burning candles that are made locally. In this case the…read morecandles are made right in house by Heather, the owner and curator of this beautiful space! I have long been a fan of the candles for their gorgeous scents that are always just right on par. The scents are so well thought out, all of the combinations, that you never have one scent that's over powering another. They just work well together and help your space to feel more welcoming. So as far as candies go, you can't go wrong with these. They are by far my favorite and I'm a "super smeller," so that means a lot for me to say. The rest of the store is curated with local merchants goods. Jewelry, blankets, coffee cups and water bottles, wool hats, caramels, chocolates...you name it, you can find a lovely gift there! I did quite a bit of Christmas shopping there since I'd rather infuse my locally earned money into our local economy and support local businesses. I'm so excited to gift these unique and special items. And of course I got myself a "High Desert," "Festive Forest," and "Cypress & Spruce" candle to bring home for my house. I love everything about this store at it feels like walking into a cozy home that's been appointed with everything you need to be cozy and happy. Don't waste your time, just go and do your holiday shopping there! And spoil yourself some too!!!

We purchased a Rise Up candle and 100% of the profits of this candle go to The Black Resilience Fund; a non-profit that is dedicated to fostering healing and resilience by providing immediate and direct financial assistance to Black Portlanders.

Surprisingly, many locals are unaware of them, which is both a great thing (for loyalists) and shocking (given how incredible the products are). I recently stopped back in Maak Lab to update some of my scents, and I was so thankful that the Dafodyl is still in stock. There is something for everyone here, and you're bound to learn more about what scents work for you. I remember my first experience here in 2021 when I realized I am a "green" scent guy. This has been very helpful in my journey to collect more scents to wear, especially when traveling. You should also have this support! Maak curates dozens of products for notable brands and businesses in Portland. When you stop by here, I guarantee you'll be impressed by the connection to some of your favorite establishments. You can even purchase soaps, scents, candles, and many other products that brands you love to create with Maak. I still enjoy knowing that the Knot Springs soap I love is something I can purchase for home. Support local, and keep returning to the excellent Maak Lab team.

I went with two of my gfs and we had a wonderful time smelling SO many smells, learning about the history of fragrance, and making our own scents! I was pleasantly surprised at how challenging it was to nail the scent I was going for (strawberry pastry lol) and I would absolutely go back again to make something new. If you're considering it, def do it!
