Upside Goods Co. Blog

At Upside Goods Co., we have always believed a small business can be a real force for good, not just in mission statements, but in actual dollars going somewhere that matters.

Over the last year and now into 2026 we are working hard to hop on flights, shake hands, give samples and follow up like the absolute queen my 2012 sales-loving heart did and make as many connections as I can for Upside.  The scariest part? I want Upside to be a recognized brand in the candle industry by 2030 and let me tell you, that is getting closer and closer each day. 

When it comes to holiday hosting, we often think about menus, tablescapes, playlists, and cozy blankets draped and ready. But there’s one element that instantly sets the mood the moment guests walk through the door—your signature scent.

Did you know there are actual benefits to burning palo Santo in your home or sacred space? Our Palo Santo + Sage candle is a best seller for a very specific reason but there is so much more behind the scenes of this sacred scent and our iteration in a candle. 

There’s something about citrus that instantly lifts the mood—and our Blood Orange, Ginger + Lime scent does exactly that. A longtime favorite from the Upside Goods Co. Signature Collection, this energizing fragrance is now available in three candle sizes and as a room spray, giving you even more ways to brighten your space.

Where you place your candle can make all the difference in scent throw, burn quality, and even your home’s overall vibe and we're here to help with tips and tricks of the best spots and scents recommended for your home!

Our Anew collection is finally here after months and months of planning.  This year we decided to take a different approach to our candle releases and offer a formula that makes more scents (ha) around what's working and what's loved!

At Upside we are all about reduce, reuse + UPCYCLE.  

Rather than creating another product that ends up in a landfill, I carefully selected the candle vessels so they could easily have another life in your home or office after the candle is done.
