Hi, and thanks for stopping by to read my blog. I'm Jacki and brand founder of Highview & Blossom. I simply love candles but in the past, I was often left disappointed with poorly performing candles (the cheap and expensive ones!).  The whole candle & melt making process had always interested me and I started to learn and understand what makes a good melt, and in particular, a quality candle.  After a few years of enjoying my hobby, I chose to only work with soy wax.  I liked the fact it's sustainably sourced, clean burning with minimal sooting, natural unlike paraffin wax, vegan and cruelty free.  

At this stage, I had a typical 9-5 job, attached to a desk and all the chair spinning it entailed.  It wasn't until 2020 when the Covid pandemic changed the world, that all things changed for me too.  Like many others, I was furloughed and decided to use this time to do something for myself and it was that moment when I started this journey.  Family and friends are such an amazing help and support and I'm sure I must have bored them senseless at times!  I also thank Ruby, my retired adopted greyhound for allowing me to use her 'Highview Blossom' racing name for my business.  I make sure she gets spoilt with regular bones and sniffy walks!  I had amazing interest from local stockists and with their ongoing support, I am able to continue to grow and invest in my brand.
