Our Story

                                      But why a candle company?

Simply put, I love candles and the feeling of peace & serenity that it brings. Looking back on life, there was a time during my first marriage when, I thought that I had it all together. Divorce happened and I had a toddler to raise. I experienced a short period of depression due to many rapid life changes.

To combat daily stressors, I often visited candle establishments to browse and smell the variety of fragrances. This was a mood booster for me and I began my journey with collecting an array of candles & wax melts

I fell in love with creating candles and followed my passion to start an Eco-Friendly Coconut Soy based candle Company and establishing a platform for Mental Health awareness. 

The African Violet Candle Co. will make yearly donations through sales & fundraising to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Health)

This page will be updated Monthly with various  Mental Health articles & resources.
