welcome to candle culture…
If you spend a lot of time in the candle aisle at Target, you’re in the right place.
Candle Culture is for anyone who loves to burn, make, or obsess over candles. My name is Julia. I live in Houston, Texas with my husband, Eric, and our dog, Lady Bird. When I’m not at work, I’m probably making candles. I’ve been making things on the internet for a very long time (on an old and often neglected YouTube channel), but for the past few years, I’ve spent a lot of time candlemaking offline. Candle Culture is my attempt to get back to sharing what I love making on the internet again.
Who knew pouring wax could be so addictive?
What started as a hobby about 5 years ago quickly turned into a full-blown obsession. Who knew pouring wax could be so addictive? I started by recycling empty candle jars to make new ones. That helped me justify my candle buying habit. After a few years of hand pouring simple container candles, I discovered candle molds. That led to an obsession with making tapers, pillars, and all kinds of unusual shapes.
I don’t sell my candles so a blog feels like the perfect place to share them along with candle recommendations and other things I’m loving lately. You can also find me on Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and of course, YouTube. 🕯 Thanks for stopping by!
