Welcome to Vidas Wax Works!
We are a mother and daughter duo founded in 2019 and we are so happy you’re here! Our non-toxic candle company is a testament to the power of creativity, passion, and persistence. Our journey began with a failed attempt at a handmade wedding favor that led us down a path of passion and entrepreneurship.
Our Humble Beginnings
It all started with my wedding — a joyous occasion that inspired me to create handmade wedding favors as a personal gift for each guest. Little did I know, this seemingly simple task was a lot harder than I imagined.
Turning Setbacks into Success
Using a candle making kit from the craft store, I struggled to hit the level of quality I had hoped for. I reluctantly decided to scrap this idea for the wedding, as I was running out of time. Although frustrating, it was a blessing in disguise. After the wedding, I was determined to finish what I started. The experience ignited a fire within me to learn, improve, and truly master the art of candle making. I spent countless hours researching techniques, experimenting with different ingredients, and refining my skills. Every setback was met with determination, leading to better results and a growing sense of accomplishment.
A Dream Shared
Two years into the business, fate intervened once again when my mom, Gail, retired from her career as a flight attendant. With a newfound chapter of life ahead, she joined forces with me, turning my dream into our shared dream.
