SNS 💅🏽

I had a woman at one of my markets pick up an item, ask the price, and GAWK so loudly that I literally took a step back. She asked how I came up with my pricing, so I explained the materials, the time, and the process behind making everything. And even after all that, she still didn’t think it was justified. And honestly? That sucked.

It’s not always about the money. Of course, pricing matters. But there’s something that really just makes you feel so low about having something you’ve spent WEEKS creating reduced to a price someone doesn’t agree with. Especially when they have no idea what went into making it.

I’m learning that not everyone will understand the value of what I create, and that’s okay. I’m not here to convince everyone. I’m here to keep creating, keep learning, and keep showing up for the people who do see the value.

Anyway, we’re here! Onward and upward, amig@s! 🫶🏽✨

Behind every photo, a story.

Mi mamá, Beatriz 🕊️

This one is difficult for me to write. I lost my mother in March after a very short battle with Alzheimer’s. Watching her lose pieces of herself and seeing her deteriorate in front of me was heartbreaking, and those final images are still difficult to erase from my mind. I don’t know if her short battle was a blessing in disguise, but I know how terrible this disease is. I’m trying to remember her as she was before Alzheimer’s: the loving mother, wife, sister, cousin, aunt, and grandma who was the rock of our family. She was beautiful, classy, fun, and caring. She loved shopping, her policiacas, her novelas, crossword puzzles, and watching deer at the park alongside my dad.

The very last words I ever heard my mom say to me were, “Te amo.” She hugged me tightly, with more energy than I’d felt from her in weeks. I told her I loved her too and that everything was going to be okay. Sometimes, I regret saying that because, not long after, everything wasn’t okay. But even as Alzheimer’s took away so much of her ability to communicate, she found a way to tell me she loved me, and I will forever be grateful those were her last words to me. I told Rolo to greet her when it was her time, and I’m positive he did. I can picture my mom giving him the biggest hug because she really did love him.

I miss my mom every minute of every day. I still cry, I still get angry, and I still talk to her on my drives home from work. Sometimes I hear her voice in my head, and other times a memory makes me smile. Part of me finds comfort in knowing she’s no longer in pain and imagining her with her godmother, sister, mom, dad, and Rolo, but I still find myself needing her. I’m thankful I got to have this amazing woman as my mother. I hope she’s resting easy and watching over us, because even though she’s gone, we still need her. Te amo, mamá. For the rest of my life. 🫶🏽

Fall faves have landed at Wild Alchemy Boutique! 🍂🤎

Arroz con Leche, Dulce Pera, Churros, and Galletitas are ready for their seasonal debut, and we’re trying something new: an exclusive Copal room + linen spray, available only at Wild Alchemy Boutique.

You’ve been asking us for Copal in a spray for almost a year, so we figured…why not give it a try? 👀

Stop by, shop your favorites, try the new spray, and let us know what you think. If you love it as much as you’ve been asking for it, we just might have to make it a regular thing. 🤎

Our Café de Olla candles are RESTOCKED! ☕🤎

As the chilly season makes its way in, there’s nothing like the warmth of freshly brewed coffee filling your space. Rich coffee, creamy milk, a little hint of caramel, sugar, and vanilla come together in a comforting fragrance that feels like wrapping your hands around a warm cup on a crisp morning.

It may not be part of our official fall collection, but Café de Olla has a way of shining this time of year. 🍂

Back in stock and ready to make your space a little cozier. Shop now at aromasaztecas.com 🫶🏽

You asked, and we listened. 🤎

We’ve heard you loud and clear. So many of you who aren’t local told us you wanted a way to bring these beautiful artesanías home for the holidays, and we knew we had to make that happen.

After seeing how much love our cazuelitas and velitas received at our markets, we’re officially making them available online. And this isn’t just a one time thing. Moving forward, you’ll find our cazuelitas and velitas online every fall and winter season.

This collection has been such a beautiful surprise for us. Seeing how many of you have connected with these pieces, whether you’re using them as part of your Día de Mu***os ofrenda or simply bringing a little warmth, tradition, and cozy season goodness into your home, has meant so much.

Each one is an artesanía made to bring a little piece of México into your home. 🇲🇽

Our cazuelitas are currently available in:

• Arroz con Leche
• Café de Olla
• Churros

Our velitas are available exclusively in Cempasúchil, created specifically to honor and celebrate our dead and to beautifully complement your ofrenda.

One little heads up: this drop has been a huge success, and we’re already very limited on inventory. We have more vessels on the way, but they’ll take a few weeks to arrive and be ready for production. Once they do, we’ll have plenty more available.

So if you’ve been waiting to bring one home, now is the time. They’re finally available online. 🫶🏽✨

Handmade takes time.

Time to create. Time to test. Time to pour each candle. Time to label, package, and prepare every order by hand.

In a world where everything is made faster, shipped faster, and replaced faster, choosing handmade means choosing something that wasn’t rushed.

And maybe that’s the real luxury. Knowing that someone took the time to make something just for you. 🤎

Some scents stay with you and Copal is one of them. Its warm, smoky presence has been woven into Mexican traditions for generations, and for many, its scent can bring back a place, a person, or a memory.

We wanted to explore the story behind this beautiful resin and its connection to Día de Mu***os, and share how that story inspired our very own Copal candle.

The full story is now on the Aromas Aztecas Blog.

Read “The Story of Copal: A Scent Woven Into Día de Mu***os” at the link in our bio. 🤎

Día de Mu***os feels especially personal for me this year. 🤎

For the first time, I’ll be placing my mom on our ofrenda. There’s something deeply meaningful about creating a space for her among the cempasúchil, photographs, candles, and traditions that remind us that the people we love remain part of our story.

This is what Día de Mu***os means to me: remembering, honoring, and making space for those we miss.

For my mom, and for everyone whose memory continues to live on. 🕊️
