From Pandemic blues to Luminous flame: My candle-making journey 


Ever wonder how Luminouscents came to be? Well, gather around, friends! I'm Michelle, and trust me, the story behind this little candle brand is more than just wax and wicks. It's a journey of self-discovery, fueled by a sprinkle of faith and a whole lot of divine intervention.



It all began during the tumultuous times of the pandemic. While many were facing unprecedented challenges and heartaches, I found myself on a quest for deeper meaning and purpose. Despite the blessings of keeping my job and being able to work remotely, the uncertainty of it all made me realize the importance of having a backup plan and exploring avenues beyond the conventional nine-to-five grind. E-commerce was booming, and I knew I wanted to dive into this exciting world. However, I was met with a daunting question: what exactly did I want to do? It was during moments of solitude, spent in introspection and prayer, that the universe revealed to me the answer: candles.



Scented candles had always held a special place in my heart. There's something undeniably enchanting about the flicker of a flame and the comforting embrace of a fragrant aroma. So, armed with determination and a sprinkle of faith, I set out on a journey to become a candle maker. Now, let me tell you, diving into the world of candle making was no walk in the park. It involved hours upon hours of watching YouTube tutorials, countless trial-and-error experiments, and a whole lot of patience. From mastering the science of temperature control to perfecting the art of scent blending, I embraced each challenge with open arms and an eager spirit.





And thus, Luminouscents was born—a labor of love infused with passion, creativity, and a whole lot of soul. But Luminouscents is more than just a candle brand; it's a manifestation of my deepest values and beliefs. With each hand-poured candle, I strive to not only create a luxurious sensory experience but also to spread light and positivity in a world that often feels dim. Our guiding philosophy, "Shine Your Light," encapsulates the essence of what Luminouscents is all about. It's a reminder to embrace our inner brilliance and illuminate the world with love, kindness, and compassion. Whether it's through the cozy ambiance of a crackling wooden wick or the intoxicating aroma of a carefully curated scent, Luminouscents seeks to create moments of joy, comfort, and tranquility.






As we journey forward, the possibilities for Luminouscents are endless. From expanding into retail shops to curating custom orders for special occasions, I'm constantly dreaming up new ways to share the magic of Luminouscents with the world. But amidst the excitement of growth and expansion, I remain grounded in my values and beliefs, guided by the simple yet profound mantra: follow your dreams, embrace risk, and never give up.

So, if you're ready to embark on a luminous journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and enlightenment, I invite you to join me and the Luminouscents community. Together, let's shine our light and illuminate the world with warmth, comfort, and love. After all, the world could always use a little more magic, don't you think?
