Pouring Through Life: More Than Candle Making

At Margaret Lilly & Co., candle making has always been about more than wax and fragrance.
It’s about intention.
It’s about creating moments of calm in the middle of real life.
And it’s about learning to pour—carefully, purposefully—into yourself, even when life feels full.

That’s exactly why I created Pouring Through Life.

What Is Pouring Through Life?

Pouring Through Life is a series where I share the behind-the-scenes realities of building a candle business while working full time, showing up for clients, and navigating life as it unfolds.

Sometimes it looks like:

• Pre-packaging candle-making class supplies so nothing is forgotten

• Finding systems that support consistency instead of burnout

• Creating beauty and structure in seasons that feel chaotic

And sometimes, it’s simply a reminder that progress doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be intentional.

Why I’m Sharing This Journey

Candle making is often romanticized—but the truth is, it takes planning, patience, and grace.
I wanted to create a space that shows:

• The real preparation behind luxury candle-making experiences

• The mindset shifts required to grow creatively and professionally

• How candle making can be both a craft and a form of self-care

Whether you’re a candle lover, a creative entrepreneur, or someone simply learning how to slow down, this series is for you.

How This Connects to Our Candle-Making Experiences

Everything we offer—from our candle-making classes to our at-home kits—is designed to make the process feel seamless, elevated, and intentional.

When you attend a class or open one of our kits, you’re not just making a candle.
You’re stepping into a moment that’s been thoughtfully prepared so you can focus on creativity, connection, and calm.

That’s the heart of Pouring Through Life.
