Don’t Wade Until To-moray

Our studio closes this evening for summer break

Last Call

In case you missed it, today is our last day before closing the studio for our annual 2-week summer break. Orders placed before 2pm today will ship out today. Orders placed after that will ship the week of June 22. We have more summer break FAQs here.

This pause—now in its sixth year—has become an important Keap tradition. Many of you use our candles to help you set time for self-care. We've found that taking a step away from our work helps us bring positive energy and fresh ideas to our work and each other.

The summer break makes us so happy!

The Keaper Summer Reading List is Here

Earlier this month, we asked you to share your favorite books of the past year with us. And you responded with majestic ferocity, sharing over 60 summer reading recommendations.

This rich and eclectic list, ranging from the “sentimental” to the “sexy”, from the “beautiful” to the “unhinged”, has led me to order a few new books this week, and I hope it provides inspiration for you too.

See which books made our list in the 2026 Keaper Summer Reading Recommendations.

We also randomly selected two Keapers who responded to win a free Moon Tote! Thank you so much to everyone who submitted a recommendation!

As we head out for our break, I want to share one more big thank you for giving us the honor to play a part in your important daily rituals.

Wishing you a wonderful summer of joy (and great reads!),

— Harry from Keap, Steward-Owner

More on this topic

If you enjoyed this article, you might enjoy our not-quite-weekly free newsletter where we share our lessons on our journey toward our regenerative vision, product launches, and behind-the-scenes happenings.

We left social media in 2021 because we found its current mechanics didn’t align with our purpose to facilitate connection to the natural world, our loved ones, and our own spirits. Since then, our newsletter has become a vibrant place for healthy conversation around topics ranging from alternative business ownership models to happy hour cocktail recipes.

Join our free newsletter to be the first to hear about newly available scented candles, special events, and more.

What our readers say about it

“It’s very thoughtful and not sales-y like all other marketing newsletters.”

“I like reading how a business is trying to be as progressive as possible in a capitalist system.”

“I normally delete emails from businesses but with the Keap newsletter I was actually interested in reading through! Made me feel that you guys really care about us and the work you do."
