About Me

Like most good ideas (and bad ones), Failed Hobbies started as a joke. I craved a creative outlet that didn’t demand perfection, productivity, or an endless pursuit of a polished aesthetic. Instead, I wanted something fun—an escape from the 9-to-5 grind that celebrated the beauty of a good mess.

Here at Failed Hobbies, I pour my heart into choosing scents, designing clever labels, and telling stories that resonate. I may leave the actual wax-pouring to the pros, but every candle I create is a nod to the unpredictable, intentionally imperfect process of creativity. It’s a reminder to embrace the chaos, laugh at the mishaps, and find joy in every almost-functional, thoughtfully made detail.

If you’re looking for a candle that lights up a room and sparks a conversation, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you choose one of my curated scents or decide to "Make It Your Way," know that each candle is crafted with everyday creativity and a touch of practical magic. Thanks for stopping by and supporting my small business—here’s to celebrating life’s beautifully failed attempts.
