Hi, I’m Nicole — a stay-at-home mom, small business owner, and creative mind running on caffeine and wild ideas.

I absolutely love being a mom and a wife, but somewhere along the way, the routine of housework and raising two busy little ones started to take over. I realized I had lost the time—and space—to unwind, recharge, and do something just for me.

When my daughter was just a few months old, the idea struck: I wanted to start a business of my own—something creative, something calming, something mine.

So during those sleepless nights, I started researching. Candle making felt like the perfect fit. Lighting a candle at the end of the day had always been my little ritual—my way of closing the kitchen, relaxing, and shifting into evening. I began dreaming of scents I loved, poured into beautiful, reusable jars—not just your typical glass container.

With a little help from my sister, La Flamme du Bois was born.

The more we learned, the more we realized how common harmful toxins are in traditional candles. That pushed us to create something different: clean-burning soy candles with cozy wood wicks—safe for your home and family.

Starting this small business has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. These days, I wake up grateful—doing what I love, caring for my children, and hand-pouring candles that bring warmth and comfort into the homes of others.
