Floryn Martin
Founder of Fairytale Candles | Candle Enthusiast | Blogger at Candle Social
Welcome to my world of warmth and wondrous scents, where each candle tells a story, and every blog post lights the way to a brighter, cozier corner of the universe. I’m Floryn Martin, the creator behind Fairytale Candles, your go-to Etsy store for candles that transform your space into a magical retreat, and the voice behind Candle Social, a blog dedicated to all things candle – from DIY guides to the latest trends in the candle-making industry.
My Journey
My journey into the world of candles began in a small, brightly lit corner of my home, where I first experimented with wax, wicks, and a blend of essential oils. What started as a hobby quickly ignited into a passion for crafting candles that not only lit up spaces but also hearts and minds. In 2019, I took a leap of faith and launched Fairytale Candles on Etsy, a platform that allowed me to share my creations with the world.
Fairytale Candles is more than just a store; it’s a dream woven into reality, offering handcrafted candles inspired by fairy tales, myths, and the magic hidden in the mundane. Each candle is a piece of art, carefully designed to offer an immersive experience that transports you to your favorite fantasy lands.
Candle Social: A Community for Candle Lovers
In 2024, driven by the desire to connect with fellow candle enthusiasts and share my knowledge, I founded Candle Social. This blog serves as a cozy nook on the internet where beginners and aficionados alike can explore the art and science of candle making, discover the latest trends, and dive into discussions about everything from eco-friendly practices to the psychological benefits of scented candles.
Beyond Candles
While candles are my first love, my interests span across various creative fields. I’m an avid reader, particularly of fantasy and historical fiction, which often inspires my candle collections. Nature walks and photography are my go-to sources for rejuvenation and inspiration. I believe in living a life fueled by passion, creativity, and a little bit of magic.
This is your one-stop shop for all things candle-related. I’m passionate about sharing our love for candles’ warm glow, beautiful scents, and creative possibilities.
