Why Simone & Company Just Made Me Purge Every Candle in My House

Why Simone & Company Just Made Me Purge Every Candle in My House

I have a confession: until recently, I had no idea what was in the candles I was burning in my home. I never questioned the labels, the fancy packaging, or the enticing scents. I just lit them, enjoyed the cozy ambiance, and went on with my day. But then I met Simone—the powerhouse educator-turned-business-owner behind Simone & Company—and now, I’ve purged every single candle I owned.

Let me tell you why.

Meet Simone: The Educator Who’s Changing the Candle Industry

Simone didn’t start out planning to launch a candle company. She was simply looking for a way to make safe, clean-burning candles for herself. As an educator, research is second nature to her, and when she started digging into what was actually inside mass-produced candles, she was shocked.

Parabens, phthalates, toxins, and who-knows-what-else—all being released into the air we breathe every single day. And worse? Some of the very same agencies that regulate these products weren’t doing much to make the truth clear to consumers.

So Simone did what any great teacher does—she took her knowledge and shared it.

But she didn’t stop at education. She turned her passion into action and created Simone & Company, a brand dedicated to clean-burning, toxin-free candles made with 100% coconut wax.

The Candles That Changed Everything

I thought I loved my old candles… until I lit one of Simone’s.

Her candles burn insanely long—like, why haven’t other brands figured this out long. A single-wick jar candle from Simone & Company lasts for 50+ hours, while the mass-produced ones I used to buy barely made it to 30. Not only that, but her scents are pure, vibrant, and completely free from harmful additives.

No headaches. No mystery chemicals. Just beautifully crafted candles that make your home smell amazing without polluting the air.

The Wake-Up Call That Made Me Purge My House

After learning about what was actually in my old candles, I couldn’t unlearn it. I went through my house and tossed every candle I had. It was horrifying to realize that I had been breathing in who-knows-what for years—especially around my kids and pets.

Thanks to Simone, I now know what I’m burning in my home, and I can breathe a little easier (literally).

Why You Need to Try Simone & Company

If you’re still buying mass-produced candles from big-box stores, do yourself a favor and switch to Simone & Company. Her candles are:

  • Made with 100% coconut wax (cleaner and longer-lasting than soy or paraffin)
    Free from parabens, phthalates, and toxic additives
    Handcrafted with love and incredible attention to detail
    Economically priced (seriously, she could charge way more)
    Designed to burn longer and cleaner than anything else I’ve tried

Simone is brilliant, and she’s not just selling candles—she’s changing the way we think about the air we breathe and the products we bring into our homes.

So if you haven’t yet, do yourself (and your lungs) a favor: ditch the toxins and upgrade to Simone & Company.

Your home—and your health—will thank you.
