At The Happy Lotus Candles my focus is authenticity; I pour each candle with the intention that lighting it will help YOU feel a little more like your most authentic, true self…the self that shines through when you feel safe and secure. Whether your comfiest space is with family & friends, a good book, or under a warm blanket, my candles help to connect you with that feeling and thus, that version

of yourself. Each candle purchased is an investment in a product made by hand in my home, to provide light and warmth in yours. I’ve had an obsession with candles and fire since I was around ten years old. Over the years this obsession has shown up in many ways: melting crayons over candles, working at a candle shop, burning candles in my home at all times, and now, making candles as my [dream] job. I made my first candle in 2016 and was excited when it stayed lit...for 5 minutes before self-extinguishing. But I was determined to make this work because for the 5 minutes that that flame was flickering, I was overjoyed that I had made a working candle. Fast forward to today: my candles stay lit for hours, not minutes, and I’m still just as happy that I get to make candles for a living. I hope you enjoy my candles as much as I enjoy making them; I look forward to working with you!

🔥 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘁 🔥 is the scent that broke my printer and almost took out my back. ⁣
All because I wanted to use 𝘮𝘺 bonfire photo; the one from a night on the beach that felt warm and golden and perfect. 👌🏽 ⁣
⁣
🖨️ The printer jammed.⁣
☠️ The printer died.⁣
🗑️ The printer went into a garbage bag until I could deal with it.⁣
🏋🏽‍♀️ And when I finally lifted that garbage bag… I forgot how heavy a dead printer actually is. ⁣
🤕 My back said absolutely not.⁣
⁣
𝘔𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦, the scent itself?⁣
𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗺. 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗸𝘆. 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹.⁣
The 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘦 of the chaos it caused. 🤪 ⁣
⁣
These are the notes I scribbled about it: the scent that fought me every step of the way 🥊…but still ended up being one of my faves.⁣

💨 It’s been nonstop pouring and packing over here … the shelves are looking a wee bit bare, but before I start to pour more requests, I grabbed a quick stoop pic with Riv and an order waiting for pickup. Off‑center? Yes. Perfect timing with River? Also yes. So it stays. 🤪 ⁣
⁣
🎉 Congrats to Lisa L. for winning the ✨ 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 ✨ gift set!⁣
⁣
🕯️ And now I’m back to pouring …have a great weekend!! ⁣

🤩 I simply cannot believe it’s been 𝘁𝗲𝗻 years since I started this business. 𝗧𝗲𝗻 years since my mom encouraged me to list my candles on Etsy, & then proceeded to be my first customer. ⁣

🎉 I poured my very first candles, 𝗟𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘇𝗲 (fka Put Your Feet Up), 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗕𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗻𝗲, and 𝗩𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝗻 (fka Bean), at my kitchen counter, not knowing what would happen. I had no idea that those first three scents would lead to 𝘁𝗲𝗻 years of (?!?!) of wax, wicks, late nights, craft fairs, and the best customers & followers I could ever ask for.⁣
⁣
Today, I get to celebrate you as much as this milestone. 💛⁣
