While some candle brands may operate from industrial warehouses with streamlined production systems, ours runs from the heart of our home — where the scent of soy wax mingles with the sounds of children playing and the aroma of a strong morning roast.
This photo captures it perfectly: a cup of coffee, rows of candles in progress, a banner showcasing our mission, and a playmat peppered with toys. It’s not curated — it’s our real, functional, joyfully chaotic studio.
Running a small candle business in the summer comes with its own unique set of joys and challenges. With kids home from school, the workspace gets a bit louder, messier, and way more colorful.
Summer brings unique dynamics for candle makers:
- Heat & Humidity: Maintaining the right pour temperatures and curing conditions is essential for ensuring consistent scent throw and finish — even when your workspace doubles as a playroom.
- Scent Trends: Lighter fragrances like cucumber melon, coconut citrus, and floral blends take center stage as customers crave fresh, clean aromas that don’t overwhelm during warmer weather.
- Mid-Year Production Planning: July is when fall production ramps up behind the scenes — meaning while customers are shopping for summer scents, makers are already prepping for pumpkins, cider, and everything cozy.
Balancing all of this with family life requires more than a workflow — it takes intention, flexibility, and a deep understanding of your “why.”
This business started with a simple goal: to support our family during a time of uncertainty. Today, it still centers on the same values. Every candle poured during nap time, every wax melt packed between ball practices, every scent tested at sunrise — it’s all part of a deeper mission.
What We’re Pouring This Month
- Limited Summer Releases: Think fresh-cut fruit, clean linen, and sunny florals.
- Fan Favorite Restocks: Our signature scents like Weekend Cartoons (Fruit Loops) and Celebration (Birthday Cake) are flying off the shelves.
- Small-Batch Development: We’re testing fall scent profiles early — because artisan-level fragrance blending isn’t something you rush.
Our candles are hand-poured in small batches using high-quality, toxin-free soy wax and clean fragrance oils — because we believe that what you breathe matters just as much as what you burn.
We don’t pretend it’s picture-perfect. What we offer is transparency, intention, and candles crafted with care — from our home to yours.
