Inspire U2 Think

April 14, 2022 by Adrienne Crombie

It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Sandy Castelleni, the remarkable woman behind “InspireU2Think“, a Hunterdon County based business that is modeled with the idea of giving back. She started her line producing non-toxic soy based candles and has expanded it to include body balms and roll-ons, distributed at shops throughout Somerset, Hunterdon and Union counties.

When we were starting Mad Lavender Farm, I was on the lookout for local artisans and vendors to partner with to make products from our lavender to start to stock the shelves of our Tiny Shop. I spied Sandy’s candles at gift shops and feed stores and I loved her product right away. They were elegant in their simplicity, small batch, homemade and the label indicated that from every sale a percentage was donated to a charitable organization. I contacted Sandy and she met with me to decide upon our product line and designed labels unique to Mad Lavender Farm. Our chosen non-profit is the Sierra Club, to support the environment and our sales have generated about $400 annually to that end.

Sandy’s intention, when she started her business, what to spread a little more light in the world. We love her vision and her product and are so proud to  partner with her to spread a little more light AND lavender in the world.
