It all started as a craft for the kids and I to do it for Christmas gifts. I noticed it was way more fun for me. I enjoyed doing it so much I decided to just jump right on in.

Trenton is where I live.

What products do you offer?

What do you want your business to be best known for?

All of our candles are hand-poured in individual batches, ensuring a quality product every time. We only use premium fragrance oils that do not have a fake chemical smell. Eight ounce glass jars burn approximately 64-72 hours. The glass jar is recyclable or may be used later for storage or around the house.
