First off, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Avi, and all of the candles you see here are hand-poured by me in my little New Orleans apartment. How did I get into candle making? I have struggled with anxiety and depression on and off throughout my life. While searching for ways to help manage my anxiety, I found that lighting a candle helped create a calming atmosphere making it easier for me to decompress. I started burning through quite a few candles, so I began purchasing cheaper ones only to realize that they were not always toxin-free and safe to burn in my home. I did not want to continue putting my physical health at risk while tending to my mental health, so I decided to start making my own candles. I soon found that experimenting with fragrance combinations brought joy into my life and was actually quite relaxing. I also get to express my creative side when choosing names for each scent, which is probably my favorite part! I now strive to bring that same joy and sense of tranquility to others who may be in a dark place and are just searching for a flicker of light.
~MY CANDLES~
My candles are made with all natural soy wax, essential oils, premium grade phthalate-free fragrance oils, and contain lead-free wicks. I also do not use dyes or additives, so you won’t have to worry about any harsh chemicals or toxins being released into your home. Just light your favorite scent, relax, and focus on you.
