Hello. I'm Tahls, pourer of MOVINKA candles.When life gives you lemons, they say make lemonade; If by lemons you mean being stood down from work during a global pandemic and by lemonade you mean using my newfound time to create something that I love, then that's exactly what I did. I named MOVINKA after a wordplay of my move to Inkerman Street in St Kilda - a new place, and a new chapter in my life that allowed me the space to create this project.The idea of the Flame to Flora Collection came to me as I was burning through countless candles at home and stacking up on empty jars. I wanted to give others an enjoyable purpose to re-use their jars with minimal effort, and positively encourage the reduction of waste going to landfill. While I know throwing away your candle jar isn't necessarily going to destroy the planet, I believe that we should all do what we can to reduce waste and our impact on the environment, so giving new life to an old candle is a small step in the right direction. When creating a business it was important to me that whatever I did, it was in a socially responsible way. MOVINKA's ethos is that repurposing is fun and you don't have to be doing zero waste perfectly to try. I hope that in a small way, MOVINKA inspires others to think consciously about ways they can repurpose old products.Thanks for stopping by, your support to shop local means everything. And yes, I do a little dance each time an order is put through.- Tahls
