The Hands Behind Soul of a Home

Texas born and raised, my name is Jenn and I'm the maker of all items you'll see from Soul of a Home! Welcome!

Since I was a young girl, I have always enjoyed being creative and working with my hands. My home is filled with many items I've had the joy of making. Whether candlemaking, sewing, writing, baking/cooking, gardening, or home DIY, I couldn't imagine not creating. It's always been a part of who I am!

What You'll Find

I'm passionate about functional beauty, so I've worked hard to design products that would beautify any home and its décor. I'm also passionate about quality and safety. Each fragrance has been tested rigorously for scent, safety, and mood. You'll never find any paraffin or phthalates in anything from Soul of a Home - and every fragrance oil I use is phthalate-free and infused with essential oils. My clean-burning coconut soy wax blend is all-natural. Every scent comes to life across candle, tumbler, wax melt, and room mist - so however you like to bring fragrance into your space, there's a format for it.

The Heart of It All

My husband and I are fans of inviting home décor, and I really enjoy candles as part of that. In 2020, like many, my position at work transitioned to work-from-home. I'd light a candle as soon as I woke up in the morning and logged on. I really liked the way the candles smelled, but they didn't make me feel so great. Being a huge home fragrance person, I needed a resolution.

Some time after that, a friend visited my home while I had a candle burning that I'd purchased from a big box store. She began to cough and experience eye irritation, but once I extinguished the candle, she felt better. I began doing a ton of research on ingredients and started making my own. After lots of learning and testing, here we are.

I test everything thoroughly before it hits the shop, so it's not uncommon for me to revise a formula several times before I'm satisfied with the outcome. I never want to offer anything I'm not proud to put my name on. My faith is a big part of that. As a Christian, I believe kindness, integrity, and hard work should show up in everything I do, including how I run this business and what I put into every product.

Wellness matters deeply to me too. I want a calm, regulated nervous system for myself, and I want that same sense of calm for the people who bring my products into their homes. Every scent I make is created with that goal in mind.

Why Soul of a Home?

I chose the name Soul of a Home because we all have something we want our homes to say to those we invite within those walls. The soul is the essence of the home. I create everything with the goal of helping others make their homes their favorite places to be.

Everything I create, I'm proud to have in my own home and share with others. We all feel more at home when we're able to add our own personal touches. When you purchase from Soul of a Home, I want you to have something beautiful and timeless - something that brings a sense of calm to your home and provides enjoyment. Your home is worth tending, and I would be honored to be a part of that.
