About Jarful House

Welcome to Jarful House, where passion meets craftsmanship in the art of candle making. I'm Jo Torija, a Polish girl turned candle enthusiast, who embarked on a journey to infuse homes with the warmth and comfort reminiscent of my cherished childhood on the family farm.

Upon immigrating to America in 2006 and meeting my husband Carlos, my love for handmade creations blossomed. It began with simple home decorations, but soon evolved into a deep-seated passion for crafting candles and wax melts.

For me, candles are more than just decorative items; they're vessels of nostalgia, capable of evoking fond memories and soothing the soul. Each scent holds the power to transport you back to cherished moments or whisk you away to idyllic landscapes.

In 2020, I made the decision to incorporate hand-poured candles and wax melts into Jarful House, and it quickly became my primary focus. What sets my creations apart is the dedication to quality and sustainability. I believe in using only the finest natural ingredients, such as soy wax and non-toxic coconut wax melts, ensuring a clean burn that's gentle on both the environment and your senses.

Moreover, my candles are carefully curated to offer clean, refreshing scents that elevate any space without overwhelming it. From fresh florals to earthy aromas, each fragrance is thoughtfully chosen to promote relaxation and tranquility.

But my passion for candles goes beyond mere craftsmanship; it's also a form of self-care. As someone who struggles with anxiety and stress, I've found solace in the gentle flicker of a candle flame and the subtle aroma that fills the room. It's a ritual that grounds me, providing a sense of calm amidst life's chaos.

Whether it's a special occasion or just another day, Jarful House candles are designed to enhance your environment and nurture your well-being. With every burn, may you find yourself enveloped in love, warmth, and cherished memories.
