Welcome y'all to my hobby that turned into a small business.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Robin. I am the spouse of a super awesome former active duty Marine who is now a Regional Wildlife Biologist for the Pennsylvania Game Commission. I am the mama of two amazing free-spirited, strong-willed kiddos. Last but not least I am the ring master of six turkeys, a lot of fish and one 14 year old, best girl in the whole world doggo. Yep, it's never dull around here.
In August of 2021 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I spent the majority of the last year facing and so far defeating that beast. I was and am truly blessed with an absolutely amazing medical team.
I began pouring candles as my Covid quarantine past time. This turned into making candles for friends and family. Which turned into pouring more candles as gifts for friends and family. Then they started giving the candles as gifts and you see where this is going.
I love scented candles but they don't always love me or my asthma. I became aware of how important candle ingredients are when both my pulmonologist and oncologist warned me about the hazards of the different types of wax and especially the dangers of most artificial fragrances. I had no idea so many mass produced candles contained known or possible carcinogens.
As a recent breast cancer survivor, I wanted to ensure that the candles I enjoy creating and burning weren't putting my health and the health of my family at risk. All of the scents I use are non-toxic and 100% phthalate free. I use 100% soy wax with lead and zinc free cotton wicks. I do not use any type of coloring additive in my candles. I want my products to be as clean and simple as possible.
