With a passion for creativity and meaningful gifts, I create unique, personalized candles designed to make every moment special. Each candle is thoughtfully crafted with care and attention to detail, with a variety of collections already available.
My collections include artist-inspired candles featuring favorites like Taylor Swift, Noah Kahan, and Gracie Abrams, as well collections for book fans of ACOTAR, Fourth Wing, and Alice in Wonderland, as well as zodiac, friendship, encouragement, birthdays, weddings, and holidays like Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day.
I hand pour each candle in Cave Springs, AR using coconut apricot wax and wood wicks. Each candle also comes with a one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted beaded bracelet matching the chosen candle collection.
Whether you’re giving a thoughtful gift, sharing a little encouragement, or marking a special occasion, I love creating candles that turn meaningful moments into something beautiful, funny, sentimental, and memorable.
And sometimes, you don’t need a reason at all—buy a candle just for yourself. You deserve something special, too.

Bio
Sometimes the best ideas come from the most unexpected places. For me, this journey began after attending the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. What started out as inspiration quickly turned into something much bigger-and, believe it or not, the idea literally came to me in a dream.
What followed was 18 months of science, math, experimenting, creating, failing, learning, and trying again. Through countless hours of testing and creativity, Message Scent Candles were born.
After 35 years in retail leadership, I made the courteous decision to step away from my corporate career in August of this year to pursue this dream-an idea that started in my imagination and became something I could actually hold in my hands.
This business is more than just candles to me. It represents course, creativity, taking a chance on yourself, and believing that it’s never too late to chase and idea-to chase your dreams.
Every candle is a little piece of that dream, created with love and the hope that it brings the same joy and meaning to someone else that it has brought to me.
