I absolutely love a good candle all year round, but once fall arrives and those pumpkin candles appear, I just can’t resist. There’s something so special about the aroma of a fall-themed candle filling up your home. However, there’s a small problem with many fall candles…
Imagine this: you walk into HomeGoods, head to the candle aisle, and you’re greeted by a delightful array of fall candles. You’re grabbing, sniffing, and enjoying the scents, but the look of the candles just isn’t right. Even if it smells amazing, a burnt orange candle shaped like a pumpkin just isn’t my style.
That’s why when Ryan Porter reached out for a fall candle collaboration with Blog-Doo (our blog design company that I co-founded with my best friend, Lauryn, from The Skinny Confidential), we were thrilled to dive in.
Lauryn and I both have a passion for pastel aesthetics and wonderfully scented candles, so this project was perfect for us. Creating these limited edition Blog-Doo x Ryan Porter candles was such a fun adventure. We experimented with various candle scents, mixing and matching like mad scientists, until we crafted two perfect cozy fall scents for the home. And, of course, the aesthetics had to be just right—no standard orange pumpkin spice candles for us.
The candle vessels are a lovely pastel pink, and we created a contrasting wax for a dreamy pastel look for your home and Instagram feed (because these candles are Instagram-worthy, trust me!).
Let’s explore these two scents:
Blog-Doo x Ryan Porter ‘The Witch Doctor’ Candle: This candle is all about witchy vibes for your daily needs. Light it up for a boost of good energy during morning meditation, some fun in the bedroom, or when you need to banish the negative energy from a pesky ex. This isn’t your typical pumpkin candle; it’s the ultimate mix of fresh pumpkin with buttery brown sugar and spiced with nutmeg and vanilla for an enchanting experience. Let this adorable candle be your magic pot!

Blog-Doo x Ryan Porter ‘The Craft’ Candle: Every seasoned witch knows the basics—fall means cozy sweaters, boots, PSL, and snap-happy visits to the apple orchard. But this year, let’s add a bit of voo-doo. Imagine crisp apple notes mixed with fresh berries and homemade bourbon vanilla, guaranteed to bring out the baddest witchy vibes. Subtle touches of amber, patchouli, and anise help create those magical feels that Instagram loves. Let this charming 100% soy candle be your magical cauldron.

We hope you love these delicious fall candles as much as we do. I’ve got mine burning as I write, and let me tell you, they absolutely set the mood for fall. They’re cute enough to use all year long—who wouldn’t want their home smelling like fall every single day?
