Why Beeswax?

I’ve always loved lighting a candle to set the mood or simply unwind in my space. But when I started searching for a clean, safe scent, I realized that many candles contained synthetic fragrances—ingredients that weren’t always safe for myself, my family, or my pets. After diving into research and discovering the potential risks of these added fragrances, I knew I needed to create something better. That’s when I turned to beeswax. It provides a clean, natural alternative to traditional waxes, releasing a subtle, pure fragrance as it burns. Unlike synthetic options, beeswax creates a calm, soothing atmosphere without overpowering a room. Plus, it naturally purifies the air as it burns, making it the perfect choice for candles that enhance both your space and well-being. I source all of my beeswax from ethical and reputable suppliers to ensure the highest quality for you and the environment.

What's the story behind the containers you use?

Even as a child, I saw the potential in everyday objects – a box was never just a box. I knew I needed to bring that same creativity to my candles. Whether I’m exploring a yard sale or an estate sale, I find myself drawn to vessels with untapped potential, waiting to be repurposed and given new life. In a world where waste is so prevalent, why not reimagine something ordinary? For instance, an old salt and pepper shaker can be transformed into a charming, one-of-a-kind candle set.
