The journey of Thama Candles began in 2022 when I was yearning for something new and creative in my life. Working full-time, every day felt like a repeat of the last, and I was left feeling lost.

Then, one lazy and contemplative afternoon, I was scrolling through Instagram when I stumbled upon a video of someone crafting their own candles. I thought, “Wow, that seems like so much fun!” However, I knew myself all too well; I tend to get excited and then let distractions get in the way.

But this time was different. I couldn’t get the idea of starting my own candle business out of my head. The Instagram algorithm seemed to conspire, continually showing me captivating candle-making videos. It felt like a sign from the universe, and so I embarked on a journey of research. What do I need? How much should I invest? How do I make this work? What about a name? Endless questions swirled in my mind, but I embraced them with excitement and determination.

At this point, I must emphasize that this isn’t a one-person endeavor. It truly takes a village. The creative process involves my family and my dearest friends; they’re always there, lending a listening ear and supporting every idea that crosses my mind. While I’m the one making the final decisions, every one of them plays a special role in this wonderful journey, and I will forever cherish their contributions.
