About Us
The Lakebound Story
When I was about 12 years old my family and I met what we would later refer to as "the lake crew" at Lake Pillsbury. Included in that crew were people that became life-long friends a dreamy teenager that would later become my husband. Ohhhh summer crushes, is there anything better? I've had a crush on Neal since I was 12 years old, but it wasn't until age 20 that we had our first kiss at Lake Berryessa in Napa County. At the time I was going to college in San Diego and after that first kiss Neal and I dated long distance until he eventually moved down south with me until I graduated. After graduation we couldn't wait to get back up to Northern California, we drove straight to Sonoma County (where my husband was raised), and eventually tied the knot and started a family.
We still live in beautiful Sonoma County and to this day our favorite family memories still involve two things– a lake and a boat. These child-hood memories we share and the new ones we create as a family inspired us to start Lakebound Candle Co. An evening cruise along the glassy water, sitting around a campfire with family and friends, cocktails on the dock... Our most treasured moments are tied to emotions that our sense of smell can help invoke. We hope our candles help to ignite a once forgotten memory while inspiring you to create new ones.
We can't thank you enough for supporting our small business, it truly means the world to us. Now, go jump in a lake (after you blow your candle out).
Our Candles
We strive to create a unique, quality product with each and every candle. Our candles are hand poured in small batches with simple ingredients: American grown soy wax, phthalate-free premium fragrance and essential oil blends and cotton wicks. We choose to use soy wax because it is clean burning, Eco-friendly and has a longer burn time than paraffin wax. We purchase everything for our candles right here in the USA.
