Your Burning Questions About My Candle Business (Answered!)

 Running a candle business is as rewarding as it is exciting, and one of the best parts is connecting with people who love candles as much as I do! Over time, I’ve noticed a few questions come up again and again. So, I thought, why not answer them all in one place? Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about my candle business—answered from the heart.

1. What inspired you to start making candles?
It all started as a personal hobby. I’ve always loved candles—the way they can instantly change the vibe of a space or transport you to a cherished memory. One day, I decided to try making my own. After a few (okay, many) messy experiments, I fell in love with the process. Turning this passion into a business felt like a natural next step.

2. What makes your candles different?
Every candle I make is poured with love and intention. I use high-quality, sustainable ingredients because I believe your space deserves the best. Each scent is carefully crafted to tell a story or create a mood, and I obsess over the little details—from the way the candle looks to how it burns in your home.

3. Are your candles eco-friendly?
Yes! I use natural waxes like beesoy blend wax, which are renewable and biodegradable. My wicks are lead-free, and I try to source reusable or recyclable containers whenever possible. Sustainability is something I’m always striving to improve.

4. How do you come up with your scents?
Creating scents is like capturing a feeling in a bottle. I draw inspiration from everywhere—nature, seasons, special memories, and even food! I experiment with fragrance combinations until they evoke the exact mood I’m aiming for. It’s a mix of art and science, and honestly, it’s one of my favorite parts of the job.

5. How long do your candles last?
It depends on the size of the candle, but on average, my candles burn for about 30–50 hours. I always recommend trimming the wick before each burn and letting the wax pool reach the edges to maximize the life of your candle.

6. Do you take custom orders?
Yes! I love collaborating with customers to create something special. Whether it’s a custom scent for a wedding, branded candles for a business, or just a unique gift idea, I’m always open to making your vision come to life.

7. What’s your personal favorite candle?
This is such a tough question—it changes all the time! Right now, I’m obsessed with a warm, spicy blend I created for the colder months. It feels like a cozy hug in candle form.

8. Can I reuse the jars?
Absolutely! Once your candle has burned down, you can clean out the jar and repurpose it. They make great planters, pen holders, or even chic storage for small items.

Candle Safety: What Every Candle Lover Should Know

Candles bring so much warmth and joy to our lives, but it’s important to remember that they’re also an open flame. With just a little care, you can enjoy your candles safely and keep your home cozy and secure. Here are some essential candle safety tips that every candle lover should know. 1. Always Keep an Eye on Lit Candles Never leave a burning candle unattended. Whether you’re stepping out of the room or heading to bed, make sure to blow out your candles before you leave. A little mindfulness can prevent big accidents. 2. Trim the Wick Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. A trimmed wick helps the candle burn evenly, reduces soot, and minimizes the risk of a large flame. It’s a simple step that makes a big difference. 3. Place Candles on a Stable Surface Always put your candles on a heat-resistant, flat surface. Avoid placing them near the edge of a table or on anything flammable, like paper or fabric. Stability is key to preventing spills or accidents. 4. Mi...

The Science of Scent: How Fragrances Impact Our Mood

 Have you ever walked into a room and felt instantly calm, energized, or even nostalgic? It might not be the décor or lighting—it could be the fragrance in the air. Scent has a powerful effect on our emotions and well-being, and it’s something we often overlook. As a candle maker, I’ve seen firsthand how different scents can transform not just a space, but also the way we feel. Our sense of smell is intricately linked to the brain's limbic system, the part responsible for memory, emotions, and behavior. This is why a particular fragrance can instantly bring up a memory or change our mood. Whether it’s the smell of fresh lavender or the warmth of cinnamon, scents can have a profound impact on how we experience the world around us. Lavender: The Calm in the Storm Lavender is widely known for its soothing properties. It’s often used in aromatherapy to reduce stress, anxiety, and even help with sleep.
