You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough. (Mae West)
Welcome to the DEEJ DOES Living Well website. This site and blog is your destination for everything to make you feel your best and your home look its best. I’m Deej (rhymes with siege) Johnson, an environmentally-conscious artisan, graphic designer, do-it-yourselfer, cook, wellness and self-care advocate,
Whether its my self care-isms, pure soy candles, custom wall art, delicious recipes or D-I-Y techniques to create your own environmentally safe cleaning products, my goal is to help you enrich and enjoy life through living well. I hope I and the content found on this site inspires you – mind, body and home.
Creativity is an expression of energy. A dazzling energy that you harness and couple with passion to process into something to behold and inspire.

Lighting is everything. It creates mood and has an emotional effect on you. (Zak Bagans)
Art, beauty, scent, light, color – all of these can fundamentally change the chemistry in the brain, release endorphins and uplift your mood, and heal the spirit. Be sure, daily, to admire a piece of art and its colors, or the mesmerizing flicker of a scented candle, or the spectrum of color that glides across the room when the sun hits something sparkly in your living room.

Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that’s why it is so complicated. (Paul Rand)
I absolutely love design. (FYI, I designed this website!) I love shapes, hues, textures, composition, balance, harmony, tension, scents, sounds…anything that evokes a visceral response, memory or feeling, I absolutely love. So its my love of design (and all the those other things) coupled with my creativity and determination that makes the DEEJ DOES brand a reality.
And that love of design is embedded into the foundation of every candle, artwork, product , photo and project found on this site.
