ABOUT THE MAKER

Krista, the owner of Hippie's Homemade Candles. She has brown, curly hair, green eyes and is smiling on a park bench in her favorite red, flower sundress.

Hippie's Homemade Candles was created in 2013 in my kitchen, as a small dream to make clean burning candles that smelled amazing.

​

My dream quickly became an obsession with making unique scents that reflect pieces of my own personal life experiences. Each one has a story, represents a memory or has a very significant meaning to my life's journey.

 

The nickname "Hippie" was gifted to me as a baby by my oldest brother James, who I lovingly called Jimbo. He sadly passed away after a long battle with cancer in 2008. He taught me so much about life, love and how to live every moment as if it could be my last on this earth. This company is my tribute to his life and the beautiful lessons he taught me. 

​

I'm married to the man of my dreams, who also happens to be the worlds most patient man. I'm a mother to my sweet daughter Ellie and my two awesome bonus kids, Isaac and Emily who are actually adults but hey, it still counts!

Our little blended family is everything I ever prayed for!

On my off days you can find me swimming in the Florida springs, having coffee with my besties or spending time with my family. We love to travel in our RV and go hiking in the mountains any chance we get.  I'm also a massage therapist and now a yoga teacher!

 I love my life and I strive to find the joy in everything.... because it is the little moments of joy that carry us through the hard times! 

​

The candles I make are not only wonderful but they are plant and botanical based, clean burning, perfectly scented and made with pure soy wax. They are Phthalate Free, Paraben Free, and non toxic.  I specialize in clean and botanical based scents, since nature is where most of my inspiration comes from. Raised in northern Georgia I am definitely a southern girl at heart and you'll see this reflected in the Mason jars I love to use for my candles. You can take the girl out of Georgia, but you can't take the Georgia out of the girl! 

​

I offer a wide variety of fantastic scents that are unique and one of a kind, with many different styles of jars and vessels to fit any household decor and budget. I know you will be so happy with your candles no matter if you prefer clean, woodsy, masculine, seasonal, floral, feminine or fruity. 

​

Established since 2013, Hippie's Homemade Candles has become a household name throughout the entire Tampa Bay area, known for our high quality and emotion capturing scents and down to earth vibes.
