About Tara White

Hey there! My name is Tara White and I handcraft natural soy wax candles in Charleston, SC. You can usually find me at the Charleston City Market in Downtown Charleston. The Charleston City Market is recognized as one of the oldest markets in the nation. “Established in 1804, the Charleston City Market is where you’ll find talented artists & craftspeople selling authentic souvenirs and collectibles.”

I started my candle business during COVID-19. Remember the chaos? It lead to unemployment, anxiety, and things getting hectic. Well, lighting candles was my way to relax & find peace at the time. I couldn’t buy candles anymore, so candle making became a successful hobby. Meditating was also a priority when I felt the newness it brought me. (Candles & meditation - perfect match). I shared daily videos of handcrafting candles & meditating. Then, candle inquiries started rolling in. With no job, how will I keep this going?... Well, I decided to turn it into a business! So, here I am today with a candle business based around meditation! Business has been growing ever since!

Although this is my second time being an entrepreneur, this time hits a little different. I’ve learned and unlearned so many things on this journey. I gained so many tools and resources to grow not only as a business, but as a successful business woman & woman as well.

Being a full time entrepreneur has changed so many characteristics about me. Can you imagine?! My favorite part of entrepreneur- ship is building my own tribe of people who have similar interest as me! Different cities, states, and yes…countries too. My business allows me to showcase my personality and good energy while others gravitate towards me. Crazy right!

I am thankful for the ENTIRE journey. No, the journey wasn’t and isn’t as smooth as how this little reading may seem. - “Boy e hard outchea.” But this journey was and is worth it! - Cosmic Energy Co. LLC
