🌸 About Me

Hi, I’m Yenny, the heart, hands, and slightly chaotic creative energy behind Lit by Yenny.

I’m a wife, a mom in a beautiful blended family of five kids, a dog mom, and a maker who believes that sometimes the smallest things can make us feel the most cared for.

Lit by Yenny started with a love for creating and has grown into something I never could have imagined. Today, I handcraft candles, home fragrance, perfumes, self-care products, and thoughtfully curated Care Boxes, and I host candle-making experiences that give people a reason to slow down, connect, laugh, and create something of their own.

Behind every product is just me. I’m the maker, tester, labeler, packer, website updater, class teacher, market vendor, and the person doing a happy dance every time an order comes through. And behind me is the family you see here, the people who inspire me, support the crazy ideas, and help make this dream possible.

And while they’re not in this photo, my parents are a huge part of Lit by Yenny, too. Their support behind the scenes makes it possible for me to create, host classes, attend markets, and somehow keep all the pieces moving. I truly couldn’t do this without them.

At the heart of it all, Lit by Yenny is about creating little moments of comfort, connection, and joy, one candle, one box, and one experience at a time.

Thank you for being part of it. 💛

With love,
Yenny 💛

What Makes Lit by Yenny Different?

There are a lot of candles out there. Ours are made differently, and with a whole lot of heart.

Every Lit by Yenny product is handcrafted in small batches, thoughtfully tested, and made with ingredients I feel good about bringing into my own home and around my own family.

✨ Thoughtfully Made
Our candles are hand-poured using organic coconut wax and carefully selected paraben- and phthalate-free fragrance oils for a beautiful, clean-burning experience.

🕯️ Small Batch, Never Mass Produced
From pouring and testing to labeling and packaging, every product passes through my hands. If I wouldn’t use it in my own home, I won’t sell it to yours.

🌿 More Than Just Candles
Lit by Yenny is about creating a feeling. Our fragrances, self-care products, Care Boxes, and candle-making experiences are designed to bring a little comfort, connection, and joy into everyday life.

💛 Personal Really Means Personal
Need a gift for someone going through a hard season? Celebrating something special? Want a scent that reminds you of home? You’re not ordering from a warehouse; you’re talking to the person actually making it.

♻️ Made to Be Enjoyed Again
Through our BYO Vessel refill program, your favorite Lit by Yenny candle doesn't have to end when the wick does. Bring your vessel back to the studio and give it another life.

Made by a real person. For real life.

Hand-poured. Thoughtfully made. Community-centered. A little unconventional. Very Lit by Yenny.
