i love all my babies. i really do like the leather. i like the old bookstore a lot, um, the fresh cut wood, so things that are a little outdoorsy and have a certain woodsy feel, i like those. [upbeat music] diane: our treat. yo. self. candle is probably my favorite one. it's just got a kind of a spa feel to it, and so it can be really relaxing and maybe reminisce about a nice feeling you might have had at a spa. a candle scent brings them to an emotional space, brings them to a happier place if they smell fresh cut grass, it smells like springtime. it smells like the year is starting fresh. there's a lot of promise. our treat. yo. self. it smells like a luxury hotel, so they feel a little bit like you're being spoiled, like they're-- like they're on a mini vacation. diane: candles can transport you, and they're pretty, too. and it adds love, ambience to a room, and i think that they can be extremely comforting.

[upbeat music] jay: i'd never owned a candle or anything, and then, you know, sean opened this company. i was like, i'll buy a couple candles, you know, help a friend. and then i lit one in my classroom, and i loved it. i teach at a school for kids with learning differences, and some of them have really high sensitivities. they complain about the noise. they complain about the lights. but the candles, everybody unanimously enjoys. shawn: make sure we got a good temperature read here. so we started three years ago, a little bit, few months before the pandemic, really looking for a hobby that would be away from the screen, less computer time, something that was a little craftier, a little easier to get into. and then took an online course from udemy about how to make a candle. came to find out it was pretty easy to make a good candle. it was hard to make a great candle. so just kept trying, kind of mad scientist style, experimenting and a little more, a little more of this, a little more of that, little more of this scent-- trying different scents to come up with what we've got today.

diane: i was mostly an observer in the beginning. this is really sean's thing. i was a supportive spouse. well, as a business grew, then that's where my talents came in, because i could do the operational side without thinking. i'm kind of crafty, so i can do things like put wicks in jars and get things organized and aligned. jay: sean he said, "i'm starting a candle company." and i was like, "of course you are, 'cause you can do anything." he has incredible mix of abilities that kind of applies to anything. and he brought a couple of tester candles, and i was pretty anxious about that moment 'cause he's a really good friend of mine. and what if they're terrible? and he uncapped them and they were amazing. shawn: we do a lot of experimentation. we've got some that i thought would be really big sellers that appealed to me. there's a leather candle that i just love the smell of it, and it just doesn't sell for whatever reason. and then others that you think this will never sell.
