It all started with a Christmas gift idea for my mom. I walked into the hobby store, looking for something I could make with my two hands. I saw the candle kits and thought this would be something she would enjoy. Who doesn't enjoy candles? I made her a lavender-scented candle and put my little touches to it by adding layered colors and dried lavender buds. Back then, I was unaware of the precise temperatures and fragrance percentages needed to make a candle successful. Since then, I have spent countless hours and months upon months of testing and research. Little did I know just how much I would enjoy the science and art of blending fragrance oils and pouring candles.
I hope you enjoy the lovely fragrances that fill your home as much as I enjoy creating them.
