I started making candles as a hobby, and then after my son was born, I decided to try to turn it into a business since my personal candle making posts on social media had got a lot of requests from friends and family. I thought that it could potentially turn into a way to provide for my family while also having more time with my son, and I am so glad I took the chance because I was right! 

I started off just focusing on wood wick candles and then from there started making wax melts, soap, room sprays, carpet fresheners, car diffusers, and more! All of my products are non-toxic with no phthalates or chemicals on California’s prop 65 list (chemicals known to be carcinogens). Surprisingly this is not super common in the candle industry, and a lot of candle supply companies sell oils that contain these harmful chemicals. I also use 100% US grown soy wax, as an alternative to paraffin which can be found in most big-name brands. I avoid paraffin for multiple reasons but the #1 concern I have is that it produces petro-soot when the candle burns. Who wants to breathe that in? I make my products with the highest quality ingredients on the market to ensure my customers get the best, safest products possible.
