From Kitchen Creations to a Growing Business: My Journey with GiAROMA Candle Company
What started as a simple passion project in my kitchen has now grown into something bigger than I ever imagined—a full candle-making space in my home, a supportive community, and a brand I’m proud to share with the world. GiAROMA Candle Company has been a journey of creativity, learning, and the unwavering support of family and friends.
The Spark That Started It All
Like many small business owners, my journey began with curiosity and a love for creating. I wanted candles that were not only beautiful but also healthy, clean-burning, and safe for my family and home. Many store-bought candles contain harmful chemicals, so I set out to make my own—using 100% soy wax, clean fragrances, and lead-free cotton wicks.
At first, it was just for fun. I experimented with different scents and wax blends in my kitchen, filling my home with comforting aromas. Little did I know, this small creative outlet would soon grow into something more.
From Kitchen to Candle Room
As I refined my techniques and developed my own unique candle recipes, my passion turned into something bigger. Word spread among family and close friends, who became my first customers and biggest cheerleaders. They encouraged me to turn my hobby into a business, and before I knew it, demand started growing.
What once was a small corner of my kitchen quickly expanded—I needed more space for pouring, curing, and packaging my candles. Eventually, my little operation took over an entire room in my house! Now, this dedicated space is where I bring my candle ideas to life, carefully hand-pouring each one with love and attention to detail.
The Heart of GiAROMA: Family and Community
One of the most rewarding parts of this journey has been the support from family, friends, and my growing customer base. Every word of encouragement, every shared post, and every order means the world to me. My loved ones have played a huge role in helping me grow GiAROMA Candle Company—whether it’s testing new scents, helping at events, or just cheering me on from the sidelines.
What’s Next for GiAROMA?
With my first market event, September Fest, coming up in August, I’m excited to bring my candles to even more people. The journey is just beginning, and I can’t wait to see where this passion takes me next.
Final Thoughts
Starting this business has been an incredible experience, filled with creativity, learning, and gratitude. Every candle I pour carries a piece of my journey—from my kitchen experiments to a fully dedicated candle-making space.
To those who have supported me along the way—thank you. Your encouragement fuels my passion, and I’m beyond excited to continue sharing GiAROMA’s clean-burning, hand-poured candles with you all.
