The spark that inspired me to start my business happened after I became a mother to my wonderful son. As motherhood embraced me, I was drawn into the world of do-it-yourself craftsmanship after realizing our home needed a transformation towards sustainability and clean living, especially with a precious new member in our family. At the time, I was working two jobs and spending more time away from my family than I wanted to. Then the Lord blessed me — uncovering my talent for candle-making and lighting a new path for me.

Everything changed after our first year in business, facing many hardships along the way. That is when I discovered my faith and steadfast love for the Lord, this is the moment I realized.. He lit a path for me so I could walk with Him, grow in my faith, and spread light to others. That’s why we offer faith-based candles — as a testimony to the goodness of God and what He has done for our family since the moment He lit the candle within me.
