Hi there, I'm Tiana Coats

About

I had never made a candle in my life, but every week I would go out and buy a new candle for my home. For some reason, I decided I wanted to start a candle business. 

Back in 2015 I was working at a job that was not fulfilling. I had the realization that I wanted to make a change so I started brainstorming. 

It all started with 2 pots and a stove

Why candles?

In 2015 I was working in a cubicle typing up prescriptions. I wasn't fulfilled with the work I was doing. I was starting to discover my creativity, and I wanted to try starting my own business. After weeks of thinking of different ideas at my desk I settled on making candles. I had never made a candle in my life, but for some reason I wanted to give it a shot. I began learning everything I could about candle-making, and after a month or so I had my first burnable candle; and a month after that I quit my desk job, and found a part-time job working weekends. This allowed me to work on my candle business during the week. 

Over the years my business slowly grew, and in 2018 I drastically changed everything. I started making candles that looked like drinks. I called these latte candles. I also decided to start a YouTube channel documenting my business journey. Since then, I have sold candles to people all over the world, been featured in major publications, and I also became a published author!
Now, I am working on educating others on how to make candles, and run a handmade candle business.
