How Expressive Candles came to be…
I have always been a “crafty” and creative person. From weekend craft sessions with Mom to a degree in Music Therapy. It began when I was very young and I received a “candle-making kit” for my birthday. Since then I have been intrigued and captivated by their beauty and elegance. As a candle lover I began to purchase scented candles and I was always disappointed in the scent throw and burn quality that I got from store bought scented candles. So I decided to make my own. I began to develop a special wax blend that allowed my scented candles to burn perfectly and have a maximum scent throw throughout the entire burning life.
Expressive Candles was successful for a short while. Having chosen to dedicate my time to another business and family, I’ve put aside the candle making business. However, my passion did not let me give up this website. I now offer quality Organic candles. While I no longer make candles, my passion for quality shines in carefully selected organic candles from established companies.
What Does Expressive Candles Mean?
Our name, Expressive Candles, was chosen for several reasons. Candle-making is a craft, an art and a science. When I first began making scented candles it was another way for me to express myself through color and fragrance. I could express and convey my mood with the different scent and color I chose. Then I began giving the scented candles I made as gifts to family and friends and realized the gift giving aspect expressed many things as well. At times it has expressed sorrow for a lost loved-one. They have expressed the joy and happiness of a marriage or the birth of a new loved-one. I have also given candles as a simple “Thank-you” or “Just-Because” gift. The list just goes on and on! While I no longer make the candles, my passion is still true to the site and the selection of Organic candles.
