About Heart & Havoc | Behind the Brand

🕯️ The Heart Behind the Havoc

I’m Megan - founder of Heart & Havoc, single mother of four, former restaurant general manager turned ritual-maker, and woman rebuilding life from the ashes into something grounded, handmade, and meaningful.

Before this business existed, I spent years running 70-hour weeks in leadership roles - organizing teams, solving emergencies, making systems run. I climbed fast, I did well, and on paper, I looked successful. But inside, I was disconnected - from my body, from the earth, from my creativity, and from a sense of personal peace.

In early 2024, I left my career to care for my children full-time and to begin building a new life from the rubble of the old. In that rebuilding, I returned to what I could control with my own two hands — making objects that brought comfort, connection, and sensory grounding.

This brand lives at the intersection of chaos and calm.
Between survival and softness.
Between holding everything together - and remembering you’re allowed to pamper yourself too.

🎁ABOUT HEART & HAVOC

Rituals for the ones who give all year long

Heart & Havoc is not just a candle shop or a gift box company.
It’s a sanctuary:
for mothers who never stop giving,
for women relearning their worth,
for caretakers, quiet givers, lovers, and light-holders.

Every product is intentionally made by hand - by me - using:
• beeswax–soy wax blends
• essential-oil based scent profiles
• botanical infusions
• dried herbs and florals
• handcrafted clay earrings
• meaningful inserts explaining plant history and ritual
• and packaging that feels like a hug, not a delivery

Heart & Havoc is built around tiny rituals that make every day moments a little more sacred -
lighting a candle,
steeping a tea,
putting your hair up with a gentle affirmation,
letting scent become permission to slow down.

These aren’t products —
they are practices.

🔥 WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

Handcrafted, not mass-produced
No wholesalers. No private-label candles. No generic fragrance oils.
Each blend is tested, refined, and grounded in botanical purpose.

Meaningful gifting
Every box includes a story —
about the herbs, the oils, the symbolism —
because gifts should feel personal.

Built from real life
This brand isn’t polished perfection.
It’s honest, lived-in, and human.
A brand built during naptimes and labels added by tiny fingers —
not in a funded boardroom.

Made in Michigan
Rooted in winter nights and early summer mornings,
in snow-quiet reflection and creek-side chaos.

🌿 Rooted in Real Ingredients & Ritual History

What I make isn’t just beautiful — it’s intentional.

Every oil, herb, and ingredient is chosen for a reason.
Not just for scent, but for story.
For what it meant to the women who came before us — and what it can offer now.

  • Beeswax to purify your air when while it burns.

  • Lavender to soothe nervous systems stretched too thin.

  • Frankincense, rose, calendula — used across centuries for healing, protection, and beauty

These aren’t trends. They’re traditions.
And I bring them to life with research, reverence, and my own hands.
