WaxThatWick Candle was born in 2014—not just from wax and wicks, but from a need to heal, express, and create. What began as a quiet, personal outlet during years of anxiety and the transition into stay-at-home motherhood soon became something much more: a way to reclaim purpose, find peace, and spark joy.
Like so many, I’ve experienced deep personal losses—grief that left its own shadows. In those moments, candle-making became a source of light. Each pour was an act of reflection, a moment of stillness, and a way to honor both pain and growth.
Each candle became a small act of self-worth—a gentle reminder that beauty can be created, even in our most uncertain moments. Hand-pouring each scent was more than a process; it was a form of therapy—a way to bring light into the darkness.
Today, WaxThatWick Candle is a celebration of that journey—a brand built on intention, transformation, and heart. We don’t just craft candles—we craft ambiance, emotion, and connection. Every flicker tells a story. Every scent evokes a feeling. And every product is a tribute to the power of starting small, creating with love, and proving—to ourselves and the world—that we are more than enough.
We’re honored to share our light with you, and we hope our candles inspire moments of calm, creativity, and confidence in your own space.
With love and light,
Melina Smith
