Our Story

Our candle journey began in 2020, right in the middle of the pandemic. What started as a simple activity to pass the time, quickly turned into a passion. My very first candle was, truthfully, a terrible one. I had no idea how much precision candle making required. I thought it would be like cooking, where you could experiment freely, but I quickly learned it’s more like baking: every measurement matters, and if one thing is off, the whole candle is affected.

Through trial, error, and a lot of research, I discovered something else - many candles on the market are made with toxic fragrances and additives. That didn’t sit right with me. If I was going to pour candles, they needed to be clean-burning, non-toxic, and safe to enjoy every day. Not only because I spend hours making them and breathing them in, but because I wanted to create something people could feel confident bringing into their homes.

After I got married, my husband encouraged me to keep going and share my creations with others. He quickly became an essential part of this journey - the quality control, the idea generator, and truly the brains behind the business. Together, we’ve built this little candle company as a husband-and-wife duo, blending my love of crafting and fragrance with his vision and problem-solving.

We started small, gifting candles to family and friends, and soon realized how much joy this craft brought us, and others. That’s when we decided to share our products with the world. Every candle we make is hand-poured with 100% natural soy wax, clean fragrance oils, and a focus on high-quality craftsmanship. Our mission is to create candles that are safe, beautiful, and accessible - luxury you can enjoy every day without the luxury price tag.

To keep things fresh and inspiring, our fragrances change with the seasons. Each collection is carefully curated to capture the spirit of the time of year. Whether it’s fresh and bright for spring, warm and cozy for fall, or crisp and comforting for the winter. Scents are only available for a limited time, so if you find a favorite, be sure to grab it before it’s gone for the season.

From our home to yours, thank you for supporting our journey. We hope our candles bring warmth, comfort, and light into your life.
