It took me a year to write this book. I’d sit in the goat shed every night after work, pour a glass of wine, light a Sage Candle to clear my mind, and write, write, write. Once the book was almost finished (500 pages in!) I wrote the chapter named “Stop and Smell the Sage,” which is accompanied by the brilliant interview of Terry Tempest Williams (who also discusses Sage). We wanted to include it because Sage is fundamental to the story of Flamingo. It was one of our first Candles, and the first scent in our bath products. And we have mountains of it growing at the Estate. So it’s only appropriate that the mighty Sage Candle sits with the book it inspired.

Inside This Set

The Guide to Becoming Alive
The Guide to Becoming Alive is part manifesto, part memoir. It includes lessons from the garden, and candid conversations with my heroes and friends including: Jane Goodall, Alice Waters, Jo Horgan, Martha Stewart, Jane Fonda, Terry Tempest Williams, Kelly Wearstler, David Leon, Jobi Manson, Gonzalo Samaranch Granados, Elise Loehnen, Erica Chidi, Ellen DeGeneres, Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, David de Rothschild, and Dr. Kerry Howells.

Adriatic Muscatel Sage Candle
Sage's botanical name comes from the Latin word "salvere", which means, "to be saved." Sage is our savior, its scent, our origin story. There are over 900 species of Sage worldwide, with 19 of them having their origins in California. Among these native species are Hummingbird Sage, Pitcher Sage, Black Sage, Purple Sage, and White Sage — all currently growing wild at the Estate. The abundance of Sage in the Garden inspired the aroma of this candle. It’s deeply cleansing and camphorous, softened by a hint of sweetness.

An inspired gift for a friend.

I love FE products to give as gifts to friends and myself! I recently gifted this set to a friend who loves to travel, cook and be in nature. The candles are so rich with fragrance and the book is aspirational with the beautiful photography- she loved it!

A Love Letter to the Senses: Beauty, Wisdom, and the Art of Being Alive

Flamingo Estate? It’s not a brand. It’s a manifesto. A call to arms for the sensorially starved. And the Book Worm Set? A portal. A spell. A seduction.

Richard’s book, The Guide to Becoming Alive, is dripping with life—lush, wild, unfiltered. The kind of book you dog-ear, underline, and carry with you like a talisman. It doesn’t just whisper to you. It demands you wake the fuck up. And the sage candle? It’s not a scent, it’s an incantation—earthy, sacred, like a secret whispered between ancient trees.

From the packaging (a love letter to beauty) to the philosophy (a war cry against mediocrity), every detail is designed to remind you that pleasure is a fight worth losing. I want everything Flamingo Estate has to offer. And if you have a pulse, you should too.
