About Simply Love Candle

How Simply Love started! Me and my brother Chris were born with a rare disease called Cystinosis. He passed away in 2010 when he was just 14, and I was 16. He was my best friend, and losing him was the hardest thing I’ve ever faced. Living with this disease means I’m sick most days from all the meds I have to take. Holding down a 9-to-5 job hasn’t been an option, and there have been times I’ve felt like a burden to the people I love, even though they’d never see me that way. A couple of years ago, my mom and I bought a candle-making kit just for fun. I loved it and thought, “Hey, maybe I could sell these!” It felt perfect—something I could do from home while creating something meaningful. So, in 2022, Simply Love Candle was born. I make everything in my home in Metamora, Michigan, where I live with my husband and our fur babies. I chose the name Simply Love because love is everything to me. My loved ones and fur babies mean the world, and I believe the smallest acts of kindness can make a big difference. You never know what someone’s going through, and none of us are ever really alone. I hope my candles bring comfort, warmth, and a little extra love into your home. Love, AshleyRead their story
