Melissa is a Stamford local who found her passion for making non-toxic and pet-friendly candles after sustaining an injury while working as an Operating Room nurse. Sometimes the best things in life happen in unexpected ways!

Her background as an RN and her asthmatic cat, Yoshie, inspire her to create quality candles that not only smell amazing (trust us) but are also healthy and safe for you, your family, and your fur babies.

Along with candle-making and working as a nurse, Melissa loves a good iced latte, traveling the world with her husband, and eating Italian food. Be sure to check out her Instagram: @weekendglow_candles and her website: Weekendglowcandles.com
