Our Story

Hello! My name is Ruth.

I am a Music Therapist at a Children Hospital by day, and avid candle maker by night. I began making candles as a form of self care. The name Glowing Poppy was inspired by my sunset hikes in California. The sunsets here are magical, and everything seems to glow.

I love exploring the outdoors, and most of my candles are inspired by scents found in nature. From the cozy scents of a campfire in Yosemite, to the breezy scent of sage bushes found in the Malibu Mountains. I hope that my candles fill your home with serenity.

Thank you to the supportive people in my life.❤️
