Our workshop is currently closed as we prepare to update our product lineup, including an all-new look for our candle offerings. Online orders for soap will reopen on July 1, 2025, but the website may experience periodic outages as we update it throughout July. We expect our new candle line to be available in late July or early August. Thank you for your patience and support. Dismiss
I’m Amanda, and I put the AMANDA in A MANDAtory Activity (and I like a good bad pun).
As part of my gift and craft making for friends and family, I fell in love with making candles and soap. Now, I want to share them with you. A Mandatory Activity sells artisan candles and bath products handcrafted, by me, in Maryland. My candles are hand-poured using 100% soy wax. Take a look around and find something to love.
