I'm genuinely excited to share my candle creations with you. I’ve never considered myself a creator before, as I’ve always enjoyed consuming art, but I never made it. Well, then COVID-19 happened. While quarantined in my home, I realized I had much more free time. I decided that I wanted to create something with my hands.
On my 29th birthday, I made a 30 before 30 list. One item on the list was to create a signature candle scent. I thought to myself; I can do that! I can make candles. So I did! I bought all of the products I needed and got to work.
Little did I know that making these candles would become a healing process for me. Sitting on my living room floor, melting natural soy and coconut wax, and listening to my “Slow It Down” playlist allowed me time to think. As I weighed the wax and mixed sweet and musk scents, I mentally processed and overcame past traumas and heartbreaks. As I inhaled the inviting aromas, I acknowledged the resilience and strength I’ve shown to make it thus far. As I exhaled, I released the pain, feelings of guilt, and regret that I had held on to for so long. I realized that I needed this. I needed this time to slow down. To focus on me. To turn my trauma into something beautiful. Something that may help someone else overcome theirs.
Because of this, I’m intentional about the fragrances I mix into the wax to create the candles and the energy I put into making candles. Glow with the Flow is not just a candle company. It’s a company that aims to help you cope. To help you heal. To help YOU find your GLOW again.
