About Happy Mama Candle Co

| VOTED BEST CANDLES OF NORTH CHARLESTON SC 2024 | My name is Ashley and I am a wife as well as a mama to two littles. My candle making journey started out with a simple starter kit to make candles for my home. I never had the intention of owning my own business and certainly did not plan to own my own candle company when I purchased that first starter kit.  I purchased some candle supplies out of the blue in late 2020 and something just clicked and I knew - this is what I am suppose to be doing.  I immediately dove in head first and never looked back. If I had any doubts in this venture, the universe had it's own way of telling me to keep going.  Within a couple weeks of starting my new business I got news that I would not be able to work from home as I had planned (I was at the time 8 months pregnant), and as if that was not enough, my daughter's daycare closed their doors abruptly at the same time (thanks COVID).  This left me unable to work at my healthcare job for much longer, and unable to find childcare on such short notice for a newborn and four year old- if this isn't the universe's way of telling you that you can make this work for your family, then I don't know what is! Before my company even started, it turned into my way of being able to stay at home with my babies, slow down, and enjoy life.  Even more than that, it has given me a sense of identity other than 'mama' which I did not even realize that I needed.
