That’s Not JoJo’s Only New Career Venture!
In addition to starring on Broadway, the “Save My Soul” singer has also taken on another surprising entrepreneurial venture: candle making. In a recent Instagram post from earlier this month, JoJo revealed one of her new limited edition candles available for sale.
“Indulge your senses in my latest limited-edition offering, 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘤𝘰 𝘗𝘢𝘭𝘰 𝘚𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘰 aka *baby, it’s you*,” she wrote in the caption. “We combined some of my favorite scents to make a truly sexxyyyy candle.”
“Encapsulated in a coconut soy wax massage oil blend (yes you can use it on your body, baby!) are top notes of sweet amber, dry prosecco, and palo santo,” she explained. “Middle notes are clove, Lilly of the Valley, and a touch of citrus. Grounding base notes evoke a rich mahogany and musk.”
“We are featuring a gorgeous hand-chosen and cleansed sardonyx or apricot agate stone. Sardonyx promotes stability, protection, and happiness. It can attract friends and good fortune and is also known to increase stamina, vigor, and self-control. All important characteristics to employ whether you’re on a self-love journey or in a partnership.”
“Apricot agate is a powerful yet gentle crystal which brings harmony to your energy as well as strength, vitality, and stamina. Our translucent desert rose- colored vessel is reusable and I encourage you to enjoy both the stone and the vessel long after the wax has melted,” she concluded, revealing that she knows a lot more about candles than anyone thought!
