Grow Your Vision
Soy&SoulWicks is named after the natural soy candles provided and a ton of SOUL; both music, and the soul inside. My candles are hand-poured and made in small batches. Music has been a huge inspiration for me and inspires my creativity. The soundtrack of my life is mainly inspired by my Dad. I lost my father on March 31, 2020 to a death unrelated to COVID-19 during the pandemic. Psychologists have published studies relating scents to memories and emotions. I stumbled upon soy wax and loved it for its natural properties. Candle making became a way for me to release my emotions and anxiety. Fast forward a few months, I had suggestions to start selling my candles. I was scared but decided to take the leap. It made me feel alive again. The more I learned, the more excited I became. I’m still reading and learning every day trying to perfect this craft. I know the feeling of lighting a candle and being able to let go of all the stress from the day. Knowing that I could create something that was able to do that for someone else makes me so happy. I have started a small business which I would have never imagined. My Dad always had hopes of us opening a business together where my brother and I would then take it over when he got old. He had huge dreams that never gave up and I was always a little scared. I like to think of this as ours. Every time I light a candle, it burns for him.
I hope you will all enjoy them as much as I do. Thank you!
