Welcome! Hope you're enjoying the site! I am Katrina, but you can call me Trina. I'm not just a wife and mother of four boys.. I'm also a proud pet parent to two fur babies and the creative mind behind LEWA Candle Company.

My journey into candle making started a few years back when I realized I'd gotten so caught up in the roles of being a wife and mom that I'd forgotten to just be Trina. It was a wake-up call, prompting me to explore my passions. So, I went a little Amazon crazy, buying all sorts of crafting supplies from glass to clay to graphic design tools. That's when I stumbled upon candle making.

Starting this company was a pivotal moment for me. I wanted the name to hold meaning, and that's how I landed on LEWA, which means 'beautiful'. To me, it encapsulates the essence of womanhood and the various stages of life we go through. Each with its own struggles and beauty. I envisioned LEWA Candle Company as a celebration of women, motherhood, and the journey of self-discovery.

I understand the challenges that come with being a mother and a woman trying to balance it all..feeling inadequate, comparing ourselves to others, and struggling to find that elusive work-life balance. That's why I want my candles to serve as a reminder to pause, show ourselves some grace, and indulge in a moment of self-love. We wear so many hats and often forget to take care of ourselves in the process.

The 'Beauty Within' Collection, my first candle line, is deeply personal. It was born from a time when I found myself comparing my life and appearance to others, especially through the lens of social media. I realized that true beauty transcends filters and flawless appearances. It's about accepting ourselves, flaws and all, and working on becoming the best versions of ourselves.

When you light a LEWA candle, I want it to be a celebration of you, a reminder of the beauty within you. Because self-love is not just important, it's empowering. So, here's to loving yourself and embracing your unique journey. And I hope you continue to be a part of this journey with me!
