I was sitting at work one day and I heard God say “candles”. I jotted it down on a sticky note and continued to work. So after about a month I started researching candles and decided to move forward with the vision God had given me and start my own candle company.

What is your favorite client story?

I had a male customer tell me that when he comes home and his wife is burning my candles it creates a mood and experience for them; that really means a lot to me because I value marriage and to know that my candles are playing a part in happy marriages brings me great joy!
