Our Spooky Yet Delightful Scented Candles
During the beginning of the pandemic, we were trying to sell our home. Sometimes we would have multiple showings a day. Every showing, I would have candles burning and I was getting tired of spending so much money at stores like Bath & Body Works for candles that didn't last long! I decided to learn how to make candles and save myself some money. I started off with a $40.00 candle making kit and from there a hobby turned into a husband and wife business based out of Palm Coast, FL. We make an affordable yet aromatic and long lasting candle in a large selection of scents. We put all our love into our candles so that you can love them too!

Watching movies he shouldn't have, and drawing things he definitely shouldn't have. Throughout his career as an illustrator his work has always had some horror elements, but as the years have gone by Horror has taken over his work to become his main focus.
