Yo Soy Candle is the absolute best! Leslie is an amazing facilitator, taking us on a rollercoaster of beautiful essential oil smells, and guided us in blending the right scents that would align with our thoughtful intentions. The presentation was intimate and fun! I felt like a cool chemist for a while. The candle jar offerings were beautiful and reasonably priced. I had so much fun creating my own candle with meaning and love. You will definitely love this experience!

Yo Soy candles are the best! They have the BEST creative, natural smelling scents, not too flowery or fake smelling. They burn nicely in a tasteful jar. The monthly subscription service is prompt with the product arriving on time and packaged safely. I would highly recommend Yo Soy candles and enjoy supporting a small, efficiently run local business.

First time I went with my wife and enjoyed it so much I went back with a group! Both times we had a great experience and loved the process of choosing scents and making a wonderful candle. Highly recommend as a fun date or a group event!

My husband and I have been looking for the perfect candle scent that smells natural (and that we agree on). During quarantine, we all need a better smelling home... After a long search, we found Yo Soy! Excellent candles with many options. I would guess that everyone (and every couple) can find some that they both like!! Definitely give them a try.

Yo Soy Candle is one of my favorite small businesses EVER! Not only does Leslie make amazing candles with delicious scents and beautiful affirmations -- her workshops are completely transformational! I have attended her in-person workshop, and I just participated in her new virtual workshop and it was equally as enjoyable. She guides us through powerful visualization meditations that leave me with so much clarity. I have to have at least six candles on hand because Yo Soy candles are an integral part to my morning ritual. 🙏🏼💕

You can still do fun and creative things in a pandemic. You & up to 3 others can book a 30 min block of time and create an amazing non-toxic candle with your choice of drool worthy scents. Such a fun thing to do and safe too as everyone wears masks. Our family of 4 had a wonderful time creating our own beautiful candles. Thank you and well be back!!

Fantastic quality and fun! Leslie at Yo Soy candle creations is real, very personable and aims to have you feel comfortable and connected. Oh and the candle!! It was really meaningful to set an intention and match my experience with beautiful powerful natural scents. Aromatherapy and then you get to bring it home! It was hard to wait four days for wax to cool! Thanks for the amazing experience, Leslie.

I have been a long time fan of Yo Soy Candle and have purchased many, many candles from Leslie, all of them instantly becoming my new favorite! When I had the chance to make a candle of my own at her Candle Creation Bar, I was excited and curious about the process. My experience was lovely!!! And the candle I brought home not only represents a beautiful scent I created myself, but a wonderful memory that I hope to recreate again sometime. It was all wonderful, but being able to choose a personal affirmation for my candle was a highlight, and now whenever I light my candle, I remember that I am Empowered. Thank you Leslie!!

I had a solo candle creation session with Leslie and it was just what I needed! It was so amazing. Leslie was so helpful and knowledgeable. I loved being able to spend time thinking about my affirmation and what I want my candle to represent. This will be my new place to take my friends and family when they visit!

Oh my goodness was this fun! It was a bit like going to a bar and ordering up... well fun! Except it was all about scents and making something. I took my daughter who is 9 with me and we both made a candle - for a Holiday gift experience.Leslie is fun and supportive. She has created something unique and joyful. What a brilliant idea come to life. I am thinking this is a great present to gift someone or a beautiful way to celebrate an anniversary.Leslie you bring something special to us - thank you!

I had the best covid safe experience making my own Yo Soy I Am candle at the creation bar. This was a lovely thing to do on a Saturday afternoon. The shop is stunning. Leslie makes you feel instantly at home and shares the origins of her business and mission. We’re so lucky to have things like this to do right now. I highly recommend all of her beautiful candles scents as well as making your own! Amazing product. Amazing space.

What an amazing PDX business! Leslie has such a great vision and shes brought it to life with a candle bar and everything. I purchased a couple boxes of candles at wholesale for an event that Im running. Theyre beautifully made at a really affordable rate with *gorgeous* scents and super long burn times. Im really excited to send these out to my clients with their boxes of local women-owned business goodies! Its so easy to order online... my advice: jump on these candles before they disappear.

I love this company and these candles! Wonderful scents (my favorites are the brown sugar fig, the sweet orange chili pepper, and the amber & driftwood) sustainable packaging and process, fair prices, and every time I’ve had the opportunity to interact with the owner, Leslie has been phenomenal. Plus this company occasionally partners with local organizations to help raise money for good causes! This is a small business that lives its values for people and planet while making outstanding products. Highly recommend.

I love so much about Yo Soy Candle! The long lasting aromas of the candles, the power of the affirmations, and most of all Leslie the owner. Not only is she the master of recommending the best candle for your mood or need, she will guide you through a personal candle making session at Portlands first Candle Creation Bar. You really need to see the beautiful space where Yo So Candle makes its magic! And meet the shop mates while youre there - between Yo Soys Candles, plus plants, handmade home decor and global textiles from shop mates Wildehaus and Maelu Designs, this NE shop has all the creature comforts we need to get us through the pandemic

I was truly surprised by the candle making experience. I even gave my candle a name. I call her Candle Baby.The 2 scents I put together smelled so beautiful it actually gave me goosebumps. Lol! Ill remember this candle making experience for a very long time. I just might go back and makeanother candle. Ill even give it a name too. Thank you for allowing me this timeto glean from your knowledge of candles. Thanks again!!

I adore Yo Soy Candle. The scents are fabulous pairings of complementary fragrance profiles, for example Honey and Almond. I love knowing that the ingredients Earth friendly. Leslie puts her heart and soul into these products and it shows. They are easy reminders to put intention into action and refine our mindset. Additionally, her I AM RITUAL workshops are experientially profound and transformational, bringing talismanic energy into the candles for future ritual use. She creates safe space for connection and vulnerability and instant community with her natural leadership. Most highly recommended!

Leslie makes sure these candles are filled with love and each intention that it is meant to manifest into your life. Her monthly subscription includes a meditation and it truly lifts your spirit when you see that box sitting at your door! Best candles ever.

Yo Soy Candles are made from soy wax and dont have an overwhelming or chemical smell... just a pleasant aroma that fills the room the candle is in! I love the variety of scents and affirmations. You can also feel great about supporting an amazing, generous, and competent small business owner like Leslie!

We burn Yo Soy candles at our store. They fill the air with the most delicious fragrances! Customers always comment on how yummy the store smells and we enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy throughout the day.

As a counselor, I love the concept of combining sweet fragrances with affirming I am statements, so I gave these candles a try. I was even more impressed and pleasantly surprised when I took the candles home and started burning them. Usually candles do not fill my living room with their scent. Yo Soy Candles, however, fill my living room with their sweet aroma. They provide a definite presence without being overpowering. They are a great buy!

Ive grown and gotten so busy my self that I sometimes forget to leave my Yo Soy reviews! Leslie is amazing as a customer care giver and has worked with me numerous times to make sure I get my orders, even when I forget to let her know Ive changed my order size or lost my card and have a new number (That happened twice), 9 seconds before the deadline. She always works it out without breaking a sweat, and thats actually what I first associate with Yo Soy Candle Co. Now.Now, about the wax...its amazing, yes. It throws very far! It smells awesome! But after a while, I have a hard time telling the difference between which melts Im using. As long as I just want a clean, fresh smell I can really poo almost any of them in the burner and Im good (Except the cinnamon ones, I give those away because i dont like food smells but thats just no ones fault).So last month, a new scent came out! Amber and Oakmoss! I was SO EXCITED! And it was a good try, but the only time I could smell it was when I opened the box and held it right under my nose.There are a whole world of scent families out there for you all to discover to make this brand MORE!!! THINK woods and resins; fruits and flowers; leather and cognac...you guys do good wax. Do GREAT WAX!!!

I’m a big fan of Yo Soy Candles! I burn them in my home and at our shop. The scent blends smell wonderful and they burn evenly and are lasting. Plus, each one has a powerful intention so they are purposeful.They make a great gifts, too. Not your average candle... definitely special!

I dont usually write reviews but these candles are so amazing...and so is Leslie, the owner. Ive purchased a lot of the collection and the scents and affirmation messages are such a great way to hold space for your self reflection and growth. Every time I see Leslie, she is full of positive loving energy and lives the affirmations she shares through her business. She is genuinely so thoughtful, compassionate, kind and passionate not only about her candles and messages but genuinely cares about her customers. She recently went above and beyond for me during one of the most difficult times in my life to show she cared. I can honestly say that Ive never had that experience with a business owner and was so touched- for her, customers arent just revenue. Buy these candles and start your affirmation ritual or just light it when you need a reminder to connect with your inner self- every scent is great and you cant go wrong. I also have a Yo Soy I AM GRATEFUL sweatshirt which is so cozy, warm and a cute. They make such great gifts too. Bottom line - you wont be disappointed...support this local business!

My favorite candle smell ever is the ginger saffron & The only thing that makes me sad about it is I cant wear it as perfume .Love it. Burn it all the time. Have bought it for my friends. Some good ish.And the chick who makes the candles also happens to be rad. Not mad about it.

Yo Soy Candles are little gifts to your self and well being. They are small moments in your day to reflect, go inward, seek, be pensive, be open. They help me create a ritual of reflection and intention. Beyond their enchanting aromas and perfect flicker of light, they awaken something thoughtful inside.

Im hesistant about most scented products but Yo Soy candles are among the very few scented candles that 1) dont give me a headache and 2) smell AMAZING. The essential oils are top notch and will work for even those that dont typically like scented products - and the smells ... natural and rich and delightful. These candles are among my favorite gifts to give friends as a little thank you or thinking of you gift. They are truly yummy. I think I can smell the love in them! ❤️

Yo Soy Candles are delicious! Not only are the scent varieties unique but the inspiration comes with it. I especially love the monthly subscription boxes bc you can try all the scents/sizes and I order them separately for the perfect gift for almost any occasion. Leslie seems to put that special touch in every order and it shows!

Yo Soy became my favorite candles after the first time I smelled the Ginger Saffron candle. One whiff and it brings me pure joy and contentment. These things really do give off an impressive aroma, unlike other candles I have bought in the past that only smell if you lift them directly to your nose. They are super long lasting and since the prices are really reasonable to start you definitely get your moneys worth in a per burn breakdown. I use these as gifts regularly too because its really easy to tie the intention behind the candle to the one receiving the gift- its a beautiful gift that comes across as even more thoughtful when the intention is chosen for the individual. Quality product and a local, female owned small business which is bonus points in my book.

Yo Soy Candle is rooted in deep intuition, age old wisdom and an abundance of love. The affirmations are simple yet profound. The clean design is what initially drew in my attention so I was curious to smell the scents. When I initially met the owners at a craft fair and got to do a sniff sample, I learned instantly that endless care and thought has been put into creating each scent. My absolute favorite has been the White Tea Ginger, but I also loved during the holidays when I got to burn the Pomegranate Cider one. These candles last awhile and although Ive never tried the larger versions I am satisfied with the smaller jars. Recently Leslie and team have been offering community meditation meet ups and yoga offerings, I think its a beautiful way to build on the affirmations. You will not regret your purchase and please know you are supporting loving people when purchasing! Namaste!

I could go on and on about how wonderful these candles are, but the following scenario with my husband is perhaps the most telling. A few weeks ago, we were in a shop and I picked up a scented candle to sniff. Before I opened it, my husband said, Dont! Youll just be disappointed because it wont be as good as Leslies candles! I sniffed anyway and was indeed disappointed. Thats because Yo Soy candles have delightful, but not overpowering scents, and the affirmations are great reminders to be present in the here and now. Breathing in the sweet scents helps me stay present, whether Im curled up on the couch, practicing yoga, or writing.
