Divina, founder of Hugs of Light

From Depress Me Not Candles to Hugs of Light

Divina started pouring candles as a way to heal. What began as a personal lifeline became a shop for people looking for warmth, comfort, and a gift that feels deeply held.

“A hug doesn’t tell you to stop hurting. A hug just holds you right where you are.”
