www.jennuinecandles.etsy.com

By day, Jenn is an Occupational Therapist. She works with the older adult population in an assisted living/memory care environment. Although she has many opportunities to help people maintain a higher quality of life, she sometimes needs an escape from her  stressful career. She has always had an interest in homemade hobbies and has  tried several over the past years, but it wasn't until she found candle making that she found the perfect hobby. 

Initially, Jenn started out with the idea of making candles for her home and as gifts for family and friends - after all, who doesn't like candles, especially candles that have a scent that lasts from first light to the last light? Once she and her husband took their candles to work their coworkers loved the candles and started ordering them. She had finally found "her hobby"; one that she could enjoy, one that she could find pleasure in, one that she could use to escape, yet one that she could share with others... and that is how jennuinecandles was born.

9 ounce Palm Wax candle in your choice of scent and color
