About me

Hi! I’m Julia. I live in Houston, Texas with my husband (Eric) and my dog (Lady Bird!). When I’m not at work, I’m probably making candles.

Candle Culture is for anyone who loves to burn, make, or obsess over candles. I don’t sell my candles so a blog feels like the perfect place to share them along with candle recommendations and things I’m loving lately. You can also find me on Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and of course, YouTube.
