A little bit about Magnolia Wicks

My name is Maghan and I decided to build a business based on premium scented candles with great customer service. My candles are Soy Wax and Lead Free wicks. I hand pour all candles and wax melts, right here in New Orleans. The theme of my candles are based on my city, The Big Easy.

I got the idea sitting at my job, when I was working with my dad. My dad asked me “What do you want to do for your career?” I’ve known for a long time, I wanted my own business. I had no idea what I was going to make ,but I knew it had to be something I loved. I’ve always been the one to buy ten candles at a time when I still had five more at home.

Considering I was only 20 years old, I knew it wasn’t going to be the easiest thing to do, nor did I feel it would be serious. My dad ,from day one, taught me all the business things I needed to know to get started. I started out in my bedroom on a TV tray, trying out many different ways on how I could make the perfect candle. I eventually did that and got into my first store.

One day feeling the frustration of working in my bedroom, I called my dad and we moved everything into a room in his house, and created the shop I have today. Doing this, it allowed me to get bigger and gave me exactly what I needed for the next step of my new career.

After getting into my first store, I wanted to share my candles with more people. I then got into my first craft show. After talking to everyone there, I knew I was ready to go a little further. I am now in three store, Facebook shop and now my own website.

I really believe in the quality of each one of my candles and wax melts. For my candles I use 100% Soy Wax and Lead Free candle wicks so you can enjoy a clean burn with wonderful scents.

I hope you enjoy my site and love my products.

With love,

Maghan
