  • I started my business because we had mass-market candles in our house and our cat Boo was sneezing while we burned them. I started making soy candles due to their clean burn and our Boo didn't sneeze once. I fell in love with the candle-making process and made it my mission to make clean-burning products for everyone to enjoy and I have always had a passion for cat and dog rescues. I make all of my products in my home studio. I conduct thorough testing of all products before releasing them. My candles and wax melts are made with 100% soy. All of my products are made with minimal ingredients and part of the proceeds from all sales goes to support cat and dog rescues. I also make sugar scrubs and soaps that contain high quality ingredients and my soaps are sulfate free. My room sprays contain no alcohol and some customers use them as body spray since all ingredients are body safe. Visit our website.
