Fashion Epiphanies is a Latina woman-owned personal development shop focused on creating products that remind you of your power in the form of candles, art, & stickers.
Fashion Epiphanies began as a blog in September 2017 where Ariadna shared her journey in the fashion industry of becoming a fashion buyer. Inspired by self-help books, she decided to launch her art page in 2020 and slowly began selling stickers on Etsy. Her passion for creating meaningful products paved the way to launching a self-improvement brand for the goddesses who are working to make their dreams come true. That’s when she merged her love for candles, art, and personal development to create Fashion Epiphanies. If you’re looking to trade those sticky notes with motivational quotes, then look no further because Fashion Epiphanies creates a more aesthetically pleasing reminder of your affirmations with monthly updated merchandise.
About our Candles:
Our candles are 100% hand poured in small batches to preserve the quality in Corona, California. We use coconut, soy, apricot wax blend from a local supplier in Los Angeles that is paraben free, uses non GMO Coconut, food grade certified coconut oil and sustainable wax base. Our wicks are sourced from a local supplier that use all-natural and untreated USA-native wood. The fragrance oils we use contain NO Carcinogens, NO Mutagens, NO Reproductive, organ or acute toxins and NO Prop 65 ingredients. So you can burn your candles, worry free.
All of our mold candles such as the bubble, or body candle use the same wax + 100% natural soy wax.

As always, made with love,

ABOUT ARIADNA

Now.. let’s get to the deep stuff:
Hi, I’m Ariadna — a 29-year-old Fashion Buyer based in Los Angeles, and the founder of this affirmation candle brand built from the experiences in my past.
By day, I work in the fashion industry, helping shape trends and create beautiful dresses for the masses to wear but after hours — and for the past four years — I’ve been quietly building something of my own. Something rooted in healing, hope, and intention.
This candle company was born during one of the most painful chapters of my life. As a domestic abuse survivor, I was searching for peace, for power, for something to hold onto. What began as small, quiet moments of pouring wax by hand became an act of reclaiming myself — and now, a brand that helps others do the same.
Each candle is more than a scent. It’s an affirmation, a ritual, a gentle reminder that no matter where you are in your journey, you are worthy, you are healing, and you are never alone.
This isn’t just a business — it’s a love letter to:
The woman I was,
The one I’m becoming, and
Everyone who needs a little reminder of their own power.
I hope you leave with motivation to get yourself up again and create that person you’ve always wanted to be, and at least I hope you leave this page feeling a bit of love and warm fuzzy feelings inside. <3
Yours to make you smile,
Aria M.
