Mara fell in love with the unique beauty of candlelight : ethereality and kindness. It's a glimmer of love in our dark world. When candles are burning, we feel better about the world. She strongly believes they light and empower the soul. Mara started Vuelta a la Vida - an online candle & wellbeing shop - in 2018 from the desire to live more mindfully. I started making my own eco-friendly and vegan soy wax and scented candles. Mara strongly believes in using ethically sourced, natural ingredients to help you live lighter, feel better, and breathe freer. That's why we do what we do.Our candles are painstakingly hand crafted, poured by hand with love and intention in small batches, and made from the very best sustainable natural plant soy wax. Fully loaded to the max with fragrance ensuring each and every one of our soy candles has a heavily scented aroma, evident from the first moment you open that lid. Proudly hand poured in Teddington, Middlesex, UK.
