Main Story Candles | Our 2025 Recap
"The year we took a chance."
2025 will always hold a special place for us — it’s the year we officially took that leap of faith and started our business. What began as an idea rooted in creativity, memory, and meaning to our family, slowly grew into something real through the support of friends and relatives who believed in us from the start. This past year was about learning as we went, trusting the process, and finding our rhythm and discovering inspires us the most. After finding our way, we developed our brand "Hand-Crafted Memories" through three Signature fragrances, which became the foundation of what we want to share with the world as a business. Each scent was created with intention, inspired by family moments and emotions we want others to experience in their own way. Watching those ideas turn into finished products was both exciting and humbling.
As the year went on, we also began dipping our toes into Soap Making, which has quickly become something we’re incredibly passionate about sharing and plan to focus on even more in 2026. But things truly started to take off when we joined the Community Affairs Farmers Market in October 2025. Becoming part of that market has had a huge impact on our family and our journey. It gave us the opportunity to meet so many amazing members of our local community, fellow small business owners, and customers who genuinely cared about what we were creating. Even more meaningful was the chance to connect with others affected by Neurofibromatosis, reminding us that this business is about more than products — it’s about connection, awareness, and shared experiences. Which has really refined our goals for the coming year, as we aim to capture those core values in everything we do. From the quality of our products to how we reach and collaborate with our communities.
This holiday season, something truly inspiring happened — we had officially made our first regular customers! The continued support and encouragement of our local community members, motivated us to take things to the next level. With the support we’ve been blessed with, we made some big upgrades, including transitioning our candles from coconut-soy wax to a luxurious apricot wax, which significantly enhanced scent throw and overall quality. We also refined the look of our candles, giving them a cleaner, more elevated aesthetic that better reflects our values, while using 100% good old fashion U.S Manufacturing on all our supplies. As we close out 2025, we’re filled with gratitude for everyone who has supported us, shared our story, and believed in our vision. We’re excited, hopeful, and ready to see what the new year brings — and we can’t wait to keep growing, creating, and making memories together in 2026.
