  What inspired you to create Layla Loves? I have always loved candles and wax melts; I love that they create a cozy, homely atmosphere and that you can tailor the fragrance to suit your mood. Pillar candles have always been my favourite, but I always struggled to find ones that had a strong scent throw, long burn time, and were more of a muted colour to blend in with other decor rather than bright [...]

   What inspired you to create 'Glow Candle Studio'?  Well, my passion for candles, diffusers, wax melts and everything that makes a space feel cosy and smells amazing has always been my inspiration. Then, during the lockdown, I had an idea to try my hand at making candles and wax melts. So, I ordered a starter kit just for the fun of it. Initially, I never thought that it would turn into a small business. [...]

What inspired you to create ‘Makes Scents Candles LTD’? I started Makes Scents Candles, candles designed to be upcycled, in June 2020, we were in the midst of the first lockdown and I had just been made redundant from my marketing role in travel. I didn’t intend to start a side hustle, but I’ve always been creative and interested in lots of things including crafts and gardening. As a thank you present, my then house [...]

  What inspired you to create ‘The Little Flame’? My inspiration for 'The Little Flame' came when my husband bought me a candle making set for our anniversary, during lockdown.  I started to make candles and found that I really enjoyed it.  Making candles for friends and family members along with their encouragement, gave me the idea to start the business. I always knew that I wanted my candles to be natural and sustainable. This [...]

  What inspired you to create ‘Soy & Wick Candles’? Soy&Wick Candles brand was born in our family. I got married and moved to the UK to my husband in May 2021. In the new status of wife, I defined my first mission as a creator of comfort and cosiness in the home. I really wanted to turn our former flat into a place where we would feel good, comfortable, where we could relax and [...]

What inspired you to create ‘The Noir Candle Company’? First of all, I have always loved anything that makes my home smell nice, like candles, diffusers, etc and secondly when my son was born in 2018, I was diagnosed with aggressive melanoma. My treatment made it hard for me to go back to work and I needed an outlet to help ‘distract’ me and give me something to focus on. I started creating candles for [...]

How did you start up Glisten and Glow Candles? The Girls, Ella and Keira started Glisten and Glow Candles to give them something to do while they couldn’t go out or go to school during the Covid lockdown. Their Mother Tracy helped get them get started with the legal bits like the CLP’s and insurance and it grew from there. Ella is currently away at University studying Marine Biology and Zoology so she is [...]

What inspired you to start Becky Bees Candles? Firstly, my life long love and empathy for nature and wildlife. As a child I could often be found rescuing injured birds, hedgehogs and my personal great love, bees, who sometimes needed shelter from a heavy down pour of rain or a little energy boosting sugar meal before safely flying home to their hives. Secondly, in 2018 I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, thankfully I am [...]
