About
We love candles, new scents, and the memories they evoke. In 2023, I asked my 13-year-old son what he wanted to do to make some money and he quickly replied that he wanted to try making candles to sell. The only caveat was his insistence that we also use the candles to do good. To him - that meant saving sea turtles. After a lot of research, we decided on SeeTurtles.org as the organization we would support. We’ve spent months researching and trying hard, scents, labels, putting methods and the other things that make a phenomenal candle and now here and ready to go.

Why sea turtles? They’re majestic and resilient.
