about

Hey there! Welcome to State Your Mood, where we believe in the power of nostalgia to spark joy, soothe the soul, and reconnect you with your true self. Founded by Deanndra Ross—a ‘90s kid through and through—our brand brings you handcrafted soy candles that capture the vibes of simpler times.

As a child, I struggled to express myself with words, but I found freedom in things that let me feel alive without saying a thing: dancing, cheerleading, and music. That’s the energy State Your Mood is all about. It's a reminder that your inner child is your best escape, that it's okay to pause, get cozy, and do what you loved as a kid. So go ahead—grab your favorite childhood snack, put on that classic movie, and let our candles fill the air with scents that make you feel right at home.

we stand for the following core values:

  • Empowerment

    We aim to empower our customers to embrace their moods and express their true selves. Our candles are a reminder that every mood is valid and every vibe is worth celebrating.

  • Sustainability

    Love your vibe, love your planet. We're committed to eco-friendly practices, from our soy wax to our recyclable packaging, ensuring we leave a positive mark on the environment.

  • Environmental Responsibility

    Planting for a brighter future. For every candle purchased, we donate to One Tree Planted, contributing to reforestation efforts and making a positive impact on our planet.

  • Our Mission

    State Your Mood exists to empower you to feel every vibe, honor every mood, and take joy in being unapologetically you. Each of our candles is made with love and care, blending high-quality soy wax with fragrances that transport you to a place where you can just be.

  • Our Vibe

    We're all about sustainability and responsibility. From using eco-friendly soy wax to recyclable packaging, we make sure every candle leaves a positive impact—not just in your space but on the planet, too. Plus, with each candle purchase, we partner with One Tree Planted to support reforestation because loving your vibe means loving your earth.
