Welcome to my online candle and wax craft store

Illuminate your life with my hand poured vegan and cruelty free candles and melts

Hello, and welcome to my first ever blog post! I am thrilled to introduce you to my new online store, where the warm glow of my handcrafted products is just a click away. Whether you are a candle connoisseur or a first-time buyer, I have something special that will light up your life.

My Journey: From Passion to Creation

My story began with me having a serious fall resulting in many months off work. I needed a  hobby to keep busy so I got myself a candle making kit and that is where my passion for candle making began. I love the how a candle can transform any space into a cosy, inviting space, and I found the whole making process really relaxing and as such the passion soon turned into a mission: to create good quality, vegan and cruelty free candles and wax melts that bring joy, relaxation, and a touch of elegance to your home.

Each candle I make is crafted with love and care. I use only the finest ingredients, including natural waxes and premium fragrances, ensuring that every candle burns cleanly and evenly. My dedication to quality means you can enjoy a beautiful flame and a delightful scent.

Why Choose My Candles?

In a world full of candle options, you might wonder what sets my candles apart. Here are a few reasons why my candles are a perfect addition to your home:

  1. Handcrafted : Every candle is made by hand, ensuring attention to detail and a personal touch that mass-produced candles simply can't match.
  2. Natural Ingredients: I only use waxes, wicks, dyes and glitters which are vegan, cruelty free, bio-degradable and eco-friendly.
  3. Fabulous Scents: My fragrances are all vegan and cruelty free and designed to evoke emotions, and create ambiance. There are more scents to come.
  4. Beautiful Designs: My candles are not only functional but also serve as elegant décor pieces that complement any interior style. I try to use vessels that can be repurposed after use, such as drinks glasses, trinket dishes plant pots etc let your imagination run wild.

Caring for Your Candles

To ensure you get the most out of your candles, here are a few tips:

  • Trim the Wick: Always trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before lighting. This helps prevent soot and ensures a cleaner burn.
  • Let It Pool: Allow the wax to melt across the entire surface during the first burn to avoid tunnelling.
  • Burn Time: Don’t burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time to extend its lifespan.
