They say dream chasing is for the young and spry. It's for those who have the world at their feet. Luckily for me, my dream walked right up to me. Or should I say it tip-toed up my nostrils and penetrated my morning blues with an all too familiar feeling of peace and serenity. I have always enjoyed candles: the smell, the ambiance, the experience. I especially enjoyed the two I had decided to burn on that cool September morning that started it all, deep ocean and spring rose. 

Quite movie like (but without the cameras and supporting cast) it happened. I stood in the middle of my living room, robe tied, curtains drawn and out loud I asked, "If you like them so much, why don't you make them?" - so that's exactly what I did. 

Ash & Syd candles were created by my own wild ambition, but they are inspired by the two most beautiful things I have ever made: my daughters. Ashley, my calm and collected ocean, who ripples and waves, but always leaves me feeling safe at shore. And Sydney, my delicate rose, whose spirit and scent was truly crafted for the heavens. I pour my heart and soul (and of course soy) into my candles so that you may burn a little bit of the love that I feel each day knowing that I am making someone's day...someone's world, just a little bit brighter.
