About Us

The B & Me in B & Me: Braeden Mather (B) and Leanne Jewell (Me)

We are a Mother and Son team that found a common passion creating candles and we decided to unleash that passion onto the world. Our love of candle making, with our combination of skills and interests, put us on this path of candle making. We are both creative, artistic, scientists, mathematicians (Braeden has the math skills, just to be clear), and entrepreneurs and we love seeing our handmade candles come to life.

After Braeden suffered some significant health setbacks (he is ok, and on the mend!) starting in 2022, and we went through several other challenges (who hasn't?) we spent a lot of time together and through some deep conversations and shared love of being creative, our candle business was born. As a single mom and son team, we have been through some significant life challenges and we somehow manage to always come out on top and with a positive outlook. The things that we have been through together have made us a tough mother and son team. And humor along the way has helped. We hope that you will support our candle business knowing that your candles are made with love, laughter, a lot of hard work and the best of intentions.

Our mission

We want to provide the healthiest candle possible for sensitive individuals and for the environment. 5% of each candle sold will be donated to support mental health for teenagers.

ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS

We researched and tested our candles for over 18 months for the cleanest burning waxes, wicks and scents because we wanted to provide the cleanest burning, all natural, non-toxic candle as we could. Braeden's history of severe allergies, along with my sensitive nose and passion for all-natural products, led us to yellow and white beeswax candles and all-natural, handmade hemp wicks dipped in beeswax. We offer both unscented (scented naturally by beeswax, which has a light and lovely honey scent) and subtly scented candles that are scented with the cleanest frangrance / essential oils possible.

Our products are paraffin free, phalate free, lead free and chemical free. We use only the highest quality beeswax, hemp and fragrance oils in our products. Nothing else is added. Except for love. Lots of love is added into our candles.
