There are moments in a creative life when everything aligns—the right people, the right timing, and a shared sense of purpose that feels divinely guided. My new partnership between SoulePhix (under Cinco Verde Publishing LLC) and The Chandlery Candle Bar is one of those moments.
Though Iris Ochoa and I have never met in person, our phone and text conversations have been filled with excitement, artistry, and mutual respect. When I described my vision for a candle line that captures the spirit of my music and writing, Iris didn’t hesitate. She told me she was “ecstatic to bring your vision to life.” And that’s exactly what she’s doing—transforming my creative concepts into tangible light.
This collaboration represents far more than candles. It’s the merging of two female-owned Texas businesses, each rooted in authenticity, artistry, and soul. I’ve long dreamed of building a universe where sound, scent, and soul intertwine—a space where my songs, essays, and spiritual reflections live together as one continuous expression. Partnering with The Chandlery allows that dream to expand into the physical world.
As the founder of Cinco Verde Publishing LLC and the artist behind SoulePhix, my creative journey has always been about vibration—how music, language, and intention shape our emotional and spiritual atmosphere. Scent is simply another instrument in that orchestra.
I designed each scent in the SoulePhix Signature Scent Collection around one of my song titles, reflecting a facet of my artistic world:
This collaboration marks a new chapter for SoulePhix—one where my music, books (written under the name Lisa Santiago-Tyler), and now candles form a unified expression of enlightenment and soulful living. Each product carries the same vibration: awakening, healing, and love.
My essays explore emotional truth; my songs express that truth through rhythm and melody; now the candles hold it through scent and flame. They’re three doors to the same soulful realm—the SoulePhix Universe.
Whether you listen, read, or light one of these candles, my hope is that you feel peace move through you—a reminder that creativity and spirituality are not separate; they are the same frequency made visible.
The SoulePhix Signature Scent Collection will debut this holiday season, available both at soulephix.com/store and at The Chandlery Candle Shop in League City, Texas. This launch represents the larger vision I’ve carried for years: a complete merging of sound, scent, and spirit under one creative umbrella—Cinco Verde Publishing LLC.
Each flame lit, each melody heard, and each page turned is part of the same energy: the pursuit of soulful enlightenment through art. It’s an invitation—to feel, to listen, to breathe, and to believe that every moment can become a golden moment when you live it with light.
