Welcome to Jackalina G. Candles

My StoryIn 2021, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After my first surgery, I bought my first candle making kit and it provided a distraction that surprisingly calmed my nerves. After a second mass was found, the next candle making kit arrived.
So began my candle making journey.My Signature Line celebrates people in my life who have been through a challenging time and each scent reminds me of them. Although some are no longer with us in physical form, I believe each one of us carries light and it should continue to shine!*My Community Line supports charities to which I contribute. 10% of profits of each candle in this line will be donated to its associated charity.*My candles are handcrafted with fragrance oils that are cruelty and phthalate-free that follow International Fragrance Association (IFRA) standards. Each candle is made with a soy- coconut wax blend and cotton wicks primed with vegetable wax.I welcome you to try one, some, or all, of my products. May you find balance, peace, and light, wherever the road leads you.Thank you for supporting a small business!
Candles
Signature Line
Nina's LightMy Nina’s Light candle was created in memory of my beautiful mother. The balance of the fruit and tart notes with the woodsy musk reminds me of her calming nature as well as her strength. The scent of this candle is similar to walking in a vineyard. Nina’s Light might shine best in a medium, or larger space like a kitchen, or living room.Note Profile:
Top: Figs, Tart Fruit
Middle: Pear
Bottom: MuskMomo’s Light
My Momo's Light candle was created in memory of my beautiful father who loved to be in the garden. If you prefer floral scents and cherry blossom, this candle may be for you. My father helped me plant a peach tree from peach pits that had fallen from his brother's tree. The peach tree still thrives in my front yard, reminding me of him. Momo’s Light might shine best in a small or medium space like a bathroom or kitchen.Note Profile:

My Fran’s Light candle was created in memory of my beautiful aunt. She was an exceptional baker. We lived in a two tenement home and I could always smell the scents of baked goods coming from the first floor. The spicy scent of cinnamon and the warmth of almond and vanilla remind me of conversations we had over her sweet treats. If you prefer the scents of spice, cinnamon, and baking (think Red Hots candy!), this may be the candle for you. Fran’s Light might shine best in a larger space like a kitchen or living room.Note Profile:
Top: Almond
Middle: Cinnamon, Spice
Bottom: VanillaPaul
My Paul candle was created in honor of my husband and best friend. Paul is living with chronic kidney disease and requires dialysis. A lavender note with a sandalwood base provides calm and balance that we always crave. Although this candle offers a lavender scent, I believe the bergamot, sage, and sandalwood notes tone its strength into a clean, subtle, and refreshing scent. My Paul candle might shine best in a small or medium space like a bathroom or kitchen.Note Profile:

Middle: Lavender, Sage
Bottom: Sandalwood
Essential Oil: PatchouliMr. G
My Mr. G candle was created in honor of my father-in-law. His dry sense of humor and down to earth personality aligns well with the woodsy and musk scents. If you prefer musk scents, this candle offers musk with a touch of citrus. My Mr. G candle might shine best in a medium or larger space like a kitchen or living room.Note Profile:
