Can a candle be life changing? Probably not. Can adopting a dog be life changing? Absolutely. Our Mini and Maria are life changers. Adopting them started us on a path toward rescue work and making candles and so much more. We wanted to create a beautiful scent for the candle named in their honor. The Ladybugs Candle is the best vanilla we could create: a non-gourmand vanilla, this fragrance is complex and not too sweet. It's a sensual, provocative, and sophisticated scent, so, while named in their honor, it's not an expression of them. They are sweet. Well, actually not too sweet. Mini and Maria are the most perfect beagle-y of beagles.
