Alcinda Walters is a hairstylist, hailing from the sunny town of Santa Cruz, California. Renowned by both her business and her clients as “The Hairapist",” Alcinda has built a successful career in the beauty industry, dedicated to making women feel beautiful and confident.

As Alcinda embarks on a new chapter of her life, she finds herself drawn to the tranquil shores of Florence, Oregon where she now resides part time with her very supportive partner, Paul and furry friend, Max, the goodest boy. Inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds her, she has decided to channel her creativity into crafting unique sun catchers and candles.

Alcinda proudly introduces her handcrafted sun catchers, inspired by the captivating beauty of the coast. Each sun catcher is one of a kind, meticulously adorned with elements that embody the essence of the seaside. She has carefully incorporated natural treasures such as driftwood, sand dollars, sea urchins and delicate brass bells, ensuring that no two sun catchers are alike. These creations effortlessly capture the allure of the coast, casting shimmering reflections, rainbows and dancing colors when touched by sunlight.

Each hand poured candle is crafted with love and sustainability in mind from 100% coconut wax, a renewable resource that emits zero soot particles, ensuring a clean and eco friendly burn. Alcinda’s candles are poured into up cycled containers, giving new life to previously loved glassware. Starting with a hand-dipped cotton wick, every candle is finished with a delightful organic fragrance oil imported from Italy. She is committed to reducing waste, which is why she offers a recycle program. Return your used container and receive credit towards a fresh candle. Illuminate your space with her hand-poured coconut wax candles and indulge in the perfect blend of sustainability, craftsmanship, and enchanting scents inspired by the coast.

Alcinda is proud to introduce her Whimsical Wick Collection of candles, where every candle tells a unique story. Each handcrafted candle is a masterpiece of whimsy, featuring delightful wax embeds that capture the imagination. From delicate florals to playful animals and charming motifs, every candle in this collection is a true work of art. Light up your space with one of these one-of-a-kind creations. Whether adorning your home or gifting to a loved one, our Whimsical Wick Collection adds a touch of magic to any moment.

Also available is her Reflective Elegance Collection, where sophistication meets charm. Each candle in the curated collection is meticulously crafted to evoke classic scents paired with elegant wax embeds that harmonize with their fragrant counterparts. Encased in sleek 8 oz glass jars with silver lids, these candles are as beautiful as they are functional, perfect for enhancing any space with a touch of refined luxury.

In addition to her sun catchers and coconut wax candles, Alcinda also specializes in creating vibrant and cheerful votive candles made from 100% organic soy wax. These colorful creations add a playful touch to any space, filling the room with happiness and warmth. Alcinda takes pride in using only the purest soy wax, free from any additives or preservatives, ensuring a clean and eco-friendly burn. Just like her other candles, these votives are infused with the same imported Italian organic fragrance oils, providing a delightful uplifting experience. With her colorful votive soy candles, Alcinda adds a burst of joy and positivity to your home while maintaining her commitment to sustainability and organic purity.
