Hi, my name's Hannah! I'm the founder and candle-maker here at Bless Your Hearth Candle Company. As a 7th generation southerner, born in Northwest Georgia and currently residing in Copperhill, Tennessee, it's safe to say that my roots run deep in the southern Appalachian Mountains. Each of my candle scents are representative of my personal experiences growing up in the South and this beautiful culture that is sometimes misunderstood.
The name Bless Your Hearth is a nod to the southern saying "bless your heart". The word "Hearth" primarily refers to the floor of a fireplace while it can also symbolize home and family life, as the hearth was historically the center of the home for warmth and cooking.
Like most people, I love all things that smell good! However, most store-bought candles give me headaches or make me feel yucky. After doing some research, I realized that a lot of ingredients in candles can cause these health issues. That's when I decided to create a candle brand that not only focuses on amazing smelling candles, but candles that have the cleanest ingredients on the market. This includes using 100% soy wax, fragrance oils that are phthalate free, and avoiding unnecessary dyes while maintaining a strong smelling candle.
With Bess your Hearth Candle Company, you can embark on a sensory journey through the south where you'll smell wild honeysuckle growing along a field, the warm breeze from a sunny day at the beach, the aroma of fresh slice of pecan pie, or the aged wood from a leisurely weekend at a mountain cabin. Choose how you want to explore the scents of South!
