About Us


Welcome to Essence of Life & Home
Hi, I’m Cheryl, and I’m so glad you’re here!
At Essence of Life & Home, everything we make comes from the heart. Our goal is simple: to help you create a cozy, peaceful space filled with comfort and joy. We know there are a lot of candles out there, so it truly means a lot that you stopped by to see what makes ours special.

My Story

I’m a proud single mom of two amazing grown kids, and I’ve always loved gardening, craft shows, and finding ways to live a little healthier and more mindful.
So, how did this little business begin?
This journey began when I learned that many of the candles I used at home were full of toxins. That didn’t sit right with me. I wanted something cleaner, something I could feel good about lighting every day. So I started researching, testing, and pouring, and before I knew it, Essence of Life & Home was born.
Every candle I make is a reflection of what I value most: health, comfort, simplicity, and beauty.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here. Your support truly means the world to me.
