In September 2024, my best friend and I set off on our dream vacation to the beautiful landscapes of Montana and Wyoming. We explored the stunning Glacier National Park, the geothermal wonders of Yellowstone, and the breathtaking views of Grand Teton National Park. That week out West was an escape I desperately needed from my overwhelmed and busy life back in Florida.

When I returned home, I made a promise to myself: I wouldn’t let life get that hectic again. I wanted to focus on the simple joys—spending more time outside, away from screens, and just taking a breath. That’s when my love for gardening bloomed, and I started creating something special: candles.

I’ve always had a soft spot for candles—they add warmth and coziness to any space. But as I began to live a more mindful life and pay attention to the ingredients I was using, I realized that many of the store-bought candles just didn’t feel right anymore. The synthetic fragrances started giving me headaches, and I knew I wanted something cleaner, something natural.

So, I rolled up my sleeves and began experimenting with candle making! What started as a simple hobby quickly turned into a passion project. Each time I pour a candle, it’s not just about making a product for me; it’s a meditative process. I take my time, putting love and intention into every batch, and I even pray over them, wishing for their journey to bring joy and comfort to your home.
