Important News!!
Family, friends, and faithful followers…
I am coming to you with some pretty important news. After much thought and prayer, I have decided that at the end of this year (2026), I will be closing the chapter on Smell of Freedom Candle Co.
Following a life-changing health event, I came to the realization that I had spread myself entirely too thin. Balancing a demanding full-time job with heavy travel alongside managing a small business as its sole employee finally pushed me to my limits, and I realized I wasn’t truly living life to its fullest.
I have loved every single candle poured and every fragrance created. More than that, I’ve cherished every friend I made and every event where I got to meet you all in person.
Now, I’m looking forward to crossing some big items off my bucket list: tea parties with my granddaughter, backyard Nerf wars with my grandsons, Sunday dinners with my kids, jumping on an airplane at the last minute and finally planning that 10-day trip to Italy I’ve been dreaming about.
I will continue to sell our in-stock and made-to-order items until inventory is depleted. I'm also excited to bring you a special fall line featuring some of our top fan-favorite fragrances! But after that, I will be fading into the sunset.
I have enjoyed every moment of this journey over the last 3+ years, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting my dream and trusting me with your purchases.
With all my love and gratitude,
Kim - Smell of Freedom Candle Company
