About Us

Discover Our Story

I’m Cheryl, the founder of Essence of Life & Home. I’m a proud single mom of two amazing grown kids, and they’re truly the center of my world. I’ve always loved gardening, craft shows, and finding ways to live a healthier, more mindful life.

So, how did this little business begin?

It started when I realized that the candles I loved lighting in my home weren’t as healthy as I thought. Many were full of toxins that didn’t sit right with my desire to create a safe, welcoming space. That discovery led me down a path of research, testing, and learning — and that’s how Essence of Life & Home came to life.

Thank you so much for being here — your support truly means the world to me. I’m so excited to share more with you!

At Essence of Life & Home, every candle is handcrafted with love and care, with your well-being in mind. I set out to create something that not only smells amazing but also helps you breathe easier, relax more deeply, and feel good about what you’re bringing into your space.

Here’s what makes our candles a little extra special:

1. Cleaner Air: Our coconut apricot or soy wax candles burn clean, with less soot and no harmful toxins, so you can enjoy your favorite scents without compromising the air you breathe.

2. Relaxation & Calm: Made with high-quality, non-toxic fragrance oils, they help set the mood for winding down, whether you’re soaking in the tub, journaling, or enjoying your daily yoga or meditation.

3. Allergy-Friendly: No synthetic fragrances here! Our gentle blends are a thoughtful choice for those with sensitivities.

4. Chic Home Vibes – With a variety of beautiful vessels and soft colors, they double as stylish decor that fits effortlessly into your home.

5. Eco-Friendly: We use renewable, plant-based waxes like coconut apricot or soy, so every candle is a step toward a more sustainable lifestyle.

6. Longer Burn Time: These candles are slow-burning, which means you get to enjoy their cozy glow for even longer.

7. Health-Conscious: We leave out the harsh stuff—no phthalates, no toxins—so you can light up with peace of mind.

8. Perfect Gifts: Whether you’re treating yourself or someone special, our candles are thoughtful, feel-good gifts that bring light and love to any occasion.

   Every candle I pour is a reflection of what I value most — health, comfort, simplicity, and beauty. I’m so grateful you’ve welcomed Essence of Life & Home into your life.

   Thanks for choosing to make your space a little cozier, a little healthier, and a lot more you.

At Essence of Life & Home, every candle is crafted with care, reflecting my commitment to bringing a little more light, warmth, and well-being into your home. I’m so thrilled to share them with you and I love hearing how much you enjoy them.  

Thank you for being here and for choosing to make your space a little cozier, a little healthier, and a lot more “you.”
