“I’ve always loved candles, but I was not aware of all the intricate details that go into making a candle and the required materials that are used. I came across a candle that was made with a crackling wooden wick, which is part of what inspired me to make candles as a Christmas project to give as gifts.”

“The things that I enjoy the most about my business is that it allows me to express my creativity, as well as the opportunity to share my passion for candles with the world.”

“As a business owner, it’s easy to burn the candle at both ends juggling multiple responsibilities, which can lead to burnout if not managed well. Taking care of oneself is crucial for leading a productive and successful life. In my opinion, self-care starts with the mind – keeping it positive is imperative. While overthinking can be both a strength and a weakness, it’s essential to set boundaries and prioritize things that add value to our lives.”
