Who is Beeswicks Candles?

I always go overboard on these things, so I will attempt to be brief!

Hi, my name is Chayla, and I am the momtrapreneur and owner of Beeswicks! I am a homeschool mom of 3 (for now) and thought that my life just wasn't busy enough, so why not start a small business? Raise your hand if you relate to this 😂

Why Was Beeswicks Started?

After a lifetime of illness, both chronic and acute, I found myself incredibly passionate
about health and wellness. I was able to heal my body with time and care, trading out a
Western lifestyle of refined and processed food and entertainment, for a traditional
lifestyle and diet my ancestors (and yours!) would recognize.

Because I have been on this journey so long, I love helping people along in their own
healing journey. Part of that is guiding them to products and swaps they can make so
they don’t feel like they’re missing out while they heal.

Beeswicks was started because, while you can usually find healthy swaps online, they
aren’t always budget friendly (or cute, am I right?). I wanted to show people that you can have healthy products in your life that are not only good, but good for you, without breaking the bank.

You can wow people with adorable, aesthetic candles that are truly eco-friendly, sustainable, and not going to obliterate your health. You can show up to life with glowing skin because you found a tallow skincare product that finally cleared you up, that you could afford! ((Tallow skincare coming soon to the website! If you want to order locally let me know!))

After all, health shouldn’t be reserved for the wealthy. It shouldn’t be blocked behind a pay wall. Having a healthy, fulfilling life should be available to all regardless of income! 

I offer the products I do because I enjoy making them, but generally speaking I just love sharing health and wellness with others.

If you need a recipe? I probably know one.
If you need a clean swap? I might have an idea or two.
If you need advice about an illness or ailment, I'm not a doctor but I probably know one who could help!

It's my passion to help people heal from Western lifestyles. For most of us, we didn't know that the candles we were burning were releasing toxins into the air and hurting us, our children, and our pets. We didn't know that the ingredients in our skincare were actually causing the dryness, breakouts, greasiness, and discoloration. We didn't know that the ingredients being used in most of our food were killing us. We didn't know about the microplastics, the endocrine disruptors, the hormonal impact of these products that we were using daily. We just didn't know.

But you know what? You can heal from these things! You can get better and feel better without sacrificing aesthetic or burning through money. You can pivot away from these toxic things and into health, and be excited about it rather than gritting your teeth and hoping it won't take too long. And I am hoping to help you along, one product, blog post, newsletter or social media post at a time.

reading my story, and good luck!
