About Home Glow
My name is Christine Scully, I'm from Tinryland - a small village in Carlow. I am the proud owner and creator of Home Glow soy candles and wax melts since June 2021.
The Creation of Home Glow
As a teenager I was quite sporty, but I did have a creative side and appreciated arts and crafts. When I was just 14 years old, I bought a candle making kit from a craft store in Kilkenny. This became my hobby for that whole summer. Every day making and experimenting with the wax and moulds. I loved the whole process of making my own candle from start to finish.
During Lockdown
When Covid-19 hit Ireland in March 2020 and the country shut down, I moved from Dublin back home to Carlow. I found myself with an unexpected amount of free time.
Initially I used my free time to spring clean etc. during which I gathered up all used candle jars around my home house. Remembering how much I enjoyed making candles as a child I started working with the left-over wax in the old candle jars.
The Story Continues..
I was excited about the process and started by melting left over wax at the bottom of the candle jars. It was great bringing an old hobby back to life.
This was the start of my candle making and how Home Glow was created.
