About Us
Hi! I'm Tiffany, the face behind this mama-ran business. I've been a step-mom to my two oldest daughters for nine years and now I'm also a mama to my 1 and 2 year old daughters! I taught elementary school for two years and then became a stay-at-home mom after having my first daughter! Your support of my small business literally means EVERYTHING to me because it allows me to stay home with my family!
How I Started Making Candles
It was Christmas time in 2024, my daughter was about to turn 1 on Christmas eve and I was 6 months pregnant. Being a stay-at-home mom, diapers and formula were draining our bank account. I had to somehow figure out gifts for six of our female family members, which is when I had the idea of trying to learn how to make candles for them! I ended up completely falling in love with this creative outlet! I kept going, making it official with my LLC, website, and social media presence! I started off selling to friends and family, and now I'm a vendor at 3 farmers markets and counting! I've received online orders from all over the U.S. and this is only the beginning for me and my business! I am eager to begin branching out into room sprays, bath bombs, sugar scrubs, and birthday cake candles!
Why Clean, High-Quality Ingredients Matter to Me
For starters, my father never allowed me to burn candles in our house growing up, so NATURALLY I developed an unhealthy addiction (still debatable) to candles! I used to stock up on B&BW candles, but it wasn't until I became a mother that I started to become aware of the hidden toxins in my home environment. The candles I was buying there were made with paraffin wax, which I found can release harmful chemicals like benzene and toluene when burned, and are linked to respiratory issues and skin irritation. They also contained parabens and phthalates, which are synthetic chemicals commonly used in candles as preservatives and to enhance fragrance longevity. Both of these are known endocrine disruptors, which can interfere with hormonal balance and can pose health risks when inhaled.
Once I learned this, they ALL went in the trash. Why would I continue to put my and my children's health at risk for a good-smelling candle? I decided to only use all-natural soy wax for my candles and scent them with high-quality fragrance oil that is free of parabens and phthalates. Ensuring I have a healthy home environment for my children by only burning the highest-quality ingredients in my homemade candles has been so empowering!
I hope that you too enjoy my handmade "masterpieces" and take comfort in knowing they are safe for your whole family!
Thank you endlessly for supporting me and making my dreams come true, one order at a time!🤍
