Our Journey
At our core, we believe that wellness is not a luxury—it’s a necessity, and that true healing begins with intentional moments of pause.
Each candle is crafted to support the sacred act of slowing down, inviting vulnerability, presence, and restoration into everyday life. Through calming scents and curated rituals, we offer more than ambience—we offer atmosphere for emotional clarity, spiritual grounding, and radical self-care
Our Mission
Our mission is to help people reclaim their time, energy, and presence through intentional rituals that restore the mind, body, and spirit.
We create tools and experiences that turn everyday moments into opportunities for pause, reflection, and emotional reset. By fostering mindful living, we empower our audience to prioritize rest, embrace self-care, and live fully.
Rooted in the belief that wellness begins with atmosphere, our candles are crafted to create calm, reflective spaces that invite psychological ease and emotional restoration. Each scent is a tool for slowing down, reconnecting, and making room for what truly matters—peace, presence, and personal healing.
Our Founder
Cristal Hines
For years, Cristal Hines has worked as a social worker and psychotherapist, holding space for others and guiding people through their darkest moments. While helping others heal, she began to experience the quiet weight of burnout. Sleepless nights, tension in her chest, and emotional exhaustion became constant companions. Her body demanded rest, yet her mind insisted on pushing forward. She realized she was surviving, not living.
In search of a way to reclaim her time, energy, and emotional balance, Cristal began creating intentional pauses in her day. Lighting a candle became more than a ritual. It became a signal to her nervous system that she was safe, worthy, and allowed to exhale. This simple act transformed ordinary moments into sacred space for clarity, calm, and restoration.
From that realization, The Intermission was born. Through sculptural candles, reflection tools, and ritual guidance, The Intermission invites others to reclaim their own moments of rest, reset, and self-connection.
