About Us
CANDLES BATHS & TEA is a lifestyle brand that believes in the power of pausing for ME time. We handcraft self-care products and create experiences that elevate your everyday ME time.
Our plant-based candles, bath & body and teas work together as your ME time recipe - a whole experience made to nurture every part of you. Candles set the mood and prepare your SPIRIT for the experience, baths give your BODY permission to rest and restore and herbal teas calm your MIND and soothe your SOUL. Choose complementary scents and tastes from our signature collections, mix and match to create your perfect combo or explore our curated bundles that pair a candle, bar soap and tea for that complete ME time experience.
We handcraft everything in our cozy studio located in Rochester, NY. The space also serves as a gathering place for family and friends to create and celebrate at our Workshop Par-Tea Experiences. Here, we elevate lives through creativity, conversation and tea (tea is always complimentary - herbal and verbal).
In a world that never stops, finding time for yourself shouldn't be another stressor.
Pause. Everything else can wait.
"For me, me time means choosing me and doing whatever brings me peace - that's empowering."
Let Peace Be Your Power,
Linda
ABOUT OUR FOUNDER
Linda is a self proclaimed lover of peace which led her to pursue a career as a massage therapist at the age of 50. As she transitioned into her retirement years she wanted to continue providing relaxation services for her community. Linda also wanted to continue working creatively with her hands and supplement her retirement income.
Through her own life experiences and through work she'd done as a peer advocate, she knew the importance of managing stress for optimal wellness. So, she pivoted her business to offer handcrafted self-care products and stress management workshops. Her mission is to provide simple, affordable and fun ways to manage stress.
Linda continues to do peer advocacy work and donates a portion of company profits to organizations that provide support services to those in need.
