I spent years burning the midnight oil. Chasing impact. Trying to prove my value. Enduring more than I could handle.

I believed there wasn't enough time to pour into myself and still meet my deadlines, hit my sales targets, close the month strong. And I was right. I hit my numbers,but I couldn't enjoy them.

I was silently suffering from burnout. Unable to show up the way I used to. Unable to dig deep when I needed to push past my limits.

Then COVID hit.

In the stillness I didn't choose, I found myself searching for a way back to myself.

I made my first candle. 20 minutes from start to finish. One minute to light it.

And in that tiny moment of creation, I realized something that changed everything:

I had time. I just wasn't giving it to myself.

I'd been pouring from an empty cup for years, wondering why I was running on fumes. Making that first candle showed me: filling your own cup doesn't take as long as you think.

The ELEVEN Collection

These candles were born from that realization.

Made during late hours when I was learning to prioritize myself. Small batches. Simple ingredients. Honest work.

They're not perfect. But they're made with intention. For the hours that are finally yours.

What's Next

This collection is limited. Once these candles are gone, something new begins.

I'm building what comes next,something bigger, more intentional, designed for people who think they don't have time.

But for now, these are here. For anyone ready to start filling their cup.
