The name is Karolina, Karo for short. Like many millennials, I have tried to navigate life, trying to find out what it is that I wanted to do only to end up at jobs that after a few years didn't make me happy. Trying both at a start up & then later corporate, I realized a big fact about myself- I hated being told what to do. I wanted & NEEDED to be my own boss but had no idea of what to do or where to start, so I stayed at my job- miserable. I started googling hobbies to keep my mind off work. Finding candles was therapeutic & right at the perfect time (end of 2019).

As we know, beginning of 2020 the world started taking stronger precautions to the pandemic leading to everything changing. Luckily, I kept sane experimenting and playing around with making candles. March 2020, I was furloughed & although it was a scary time, I couldn't help but feeling it was a sign for me to turn my hobby into a business (candles to kandles). Little did I know, making the candles was the easy part... everything from making labels to building this site have been quite the journey with bonus roadblocks slowing me down including occasional thoughts of self-doubt & planning my own wedding.

Even though my journey has had it's struggles, I've enjoyed the steps getting where I'm at today letting me know that working for myself was the right decision for me.

I hope you enjoy these kandles as much as I've loved making them!
