Behind the scenes at carlascandlesco

Carlascandlesco is run by me carla lol I have help from my amazing mother I'm 19 and have been doing this since I was just 16 I started in my parents Kitchen to stealing the spare room and converting it into a pink office of dreams

My story is a long one I struggled with anxiety ocd and depression all my life a couple months into lockdown at 16 i atempted to take my own life I was luckily not successful and needed something to distract myself so I got a loan from my parents of £100 and got cracking

I was lucky that my second post ever went viral and has almost 1 million views and I got 100s of orders from it wow that was life changing!

We now have had over 1600 and have posted to every single postcode area in the uk! 2023 has been rough I'll admit from Feb -may I was struggling with mental health and had 0 motivation but I'm back now and better than ever And we have huge plans for the Halloween & christmas season

Wax melts will always be my favourite they are a lot more complex than most may think CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging) means mesuring chemicals and labelling them is so important and more than that a legal requirement it is definitely not just a guess job lol there is also coming up with some unique designs for me this is a little easier I'm dislexic so I'm a visual thinker here are a few designs that got some huge reactions!
