About Me

Hi, I’m Alex, the creator behind AGHandlesCandles. What started as a simple Christmas project in 2023 has turned into a full-blown passion. I was crafting personalized candles for friends and family, and soon found myself hooked on the process. The art of mixing fragrances, testing formulas, and creating something unique was all I needed to fall in love with candle-making.
With a deep interest in science, I was excited to experiment and perfect my "recipes." I wanted to make something special—candles that felt warm and nostalgic, but without the harmful chemicals often found in cheaper paraffin waxes. That’s why I chose a coconut-soy blend, ensuring each candle is vegan, non-toxic, and burns clean.
Candle-making has led me to amazing new connections, from farmers markets to meeting passionate crafters who inspire me to constantly improve. AGHandlesCandles has truly been the best decision I made in 2023, and I’m so grateful for the support I’ve received as I continue to grow and refine my craft. Thanks for being a part of the journey!
