Velapure Candles Soy Candles, Waxes, & More!

Hello, my name is Haydee, originally from San Diego, CA. I started making soy candles in 2012 and relaunched here in Suffolk in 2020 due to the loss of my job. Now, I’m a “toddler momma”, which means nothing scares me, haha! I love creating beautiful candles and I’m honored that a piece of me goes to a new home and spreads light with every purchase. My scents are unique, natural, and they bring memories and emotions. That’s a Velapure experience!

Struggling Too

Struggling Too was founded on a struggle in 2015. I was a stay-at-home mom that felt alone, empty, and lost- but this feeling didn’t become my norm, it became my catapult. I started making and creating items that brought me joy and would put a smile on others faces. My goal was to produce items that were customized and personalized, to bring exclusivity to the product, which would ultimately make one feel seen, loved, and empowered to make it through their own personal struggle. Girl, I am struggling too- but at least we can make it look good!
