My name is Nicole and I am the founder of Spill the Flame. This brand was created as a result of my love for candles and passion towards mental health.

Mental illness hits extremely close to home as it's something that has been prominent in my life from a young age. To make things, short - mental illness runs VERY strongly in my family. The gene definitely didn't fail to hit me and gave me combination of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and a panic disorder (it's just as fun as it sounds). In all seriousness, I am thankful to say that I have found ways to manage my mental health and despite my diagnosises my mental illness no longer controls my life. Although I have found a way to manage and live with my mental illness, not everyone is able to do so. This realization hit me the most when I had someone close to me die by suicide.

I wanted this brand to be something that opens up the conversation of mental health. Hence the name 'Spill the Flame' which is a play on the saying spill the beans and spill the tea. Mental health is something that is kept 'hush, hush' and I'm here to say f*** that.

Lighting candles is something that has always brought me a lot of comfort and peace. I encourage you to implement these candles into your self care routine. I hope these candles are able to bring light into your life.
