Why Favoriate Scented? Why Wooden wick candles? About us!
You know, someone once asked me, "Why did you start a candle business? Why not something else?" At that moment, I felt completely caught off guard. Not because the question was strange, but because no one had ever asked me that before. I mean, I knew why I started it, but explaining it out loud? That was hard. I suddenly found myself questioning how to tell my story. Should I lie? Should I make it feel emotional? Should I try to make people happy or proud of me? I wasn’t sure, and honestly, I kind of fumbled through my answer, feeling unsure, uncertain and unconfident.
But that question stuck with me, and I kept thinking about it over and over. Why candles? Why my Favoriate scented? And now, I think I’m finally ready to share the real reason with you.
I started this candle business after a failed business attempt, and I needed something that I could work around my life easily. I was stressed, lost, and honestly, as a 23-year-old woman figuring out my American dream, I didn’t know which direction to go. After a trip to Ghana, it clicked for me—candles are a lot like life itself. From choosing the perfect scent, finding the right jar, to the frustrating testing process… Candle makers will know what I mean! There are ups and downs, just like in life. But when you finally get it right, the candle burns beautifully, like a bright star. But if something’s off, it just won’t light up like you imagined.
Candles, for me, are more than just something that smells nice. They represent warmth, patience, perseverance, and practice. Kind of like life, right? You keep working at it, improving, and eventually, you’ll shine bright. And the best part? No one will be able to dim your light.
Life can get overwhelming, though, and sometimes we need to just step back and take a moment to breathe. That’s why I love candles. They help create a space for calm, relaxation, and mindfulness. They remind you to take a break when you need it and allow yourself to recharge.
So, if you’re feeling stressed, light a candle, take a breath, and just be in the moment. My candles aren’t just about scent; they’re about supporting mental health, women, and well-being. They’re about reminding you that you’re not alone. You deserve peace and relaxation.
Enjoy your candle with mindfulness, and remember—self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential. You deserve it.
