About Imagine with Grace
Hi There! I'm Kylie, the owner and creative mind behind Imagine with Grace.
I am a single mum to a beautiful daughter, and I have always had a passion for creating and making things.
At the age of 52, I found myself rebuilding my life after some major life-changing experiences. After a lot of healing and time passed, I started to find my footing again, but felt unfulfilled and questioned whether I was living my best life. Although I loved my life and was grateful for it, I felt that something was missing. The creative spark that I once had seemed to have disappeared.
One day, I found myself staring at my vision board, which depicted what I wanted my life to be. I knew that my 9-5 job was not going to be enough to bring my vision to life, so I started to think about what else I could do. The creative spark that I thought was gone started screaming at me, urging me to explore it. At the time, I was burning a candle I had purchased, and I was disappointed that I couldn't smell it. I said to myself, "Maybe I should have a go at making my own!" So, I researched, studied, and tested, and found that I was pretty good at it.
I started to get excited and thought that maybe I could turn this into a business. I imagined what mine and my daughter's life would look like if I just pushed fear aside and took the risk to do something for both of us. "Imagine what that would mean for us, how good it would be if that vision board became our reality! IMAGINE!!!!" And with that, "Imagine with Grace" was born!
A Dual Journey: Crafting Candles, Building Dreams
"I am not working on this project alone; it's a team effort between me and my 16-year-old daughter. She is my rock and the reason that motivates me to build a better future. Our goal is not just to create beautiful products, but also to chase our dreams and work towards a world free from domestic violence."
Our Vision: Lighting the Way Forward
Imagine with Grace is not just about scents and wax, it is part of a larger mission. Our goal is to establish a Charity Foundation that will offer a safe haven for women and children who have suffered from domestic violence. We believe this is our calling.
A Safe Harbor of Support
Our dream charity is not just a pipe dream. It is a vision where we aim to build a haven for women and children seeking to break free from or heal from the scars of abuse. We envision a place where expertise meets empathy, and guidance and opportunities pave the way for a fresh start with the help of professionals in therapy, counseling, healing, financial advice, legal expertise, job agencies, and more. All these professionals will work together to help light up the lives of women and children and build a brighter, safer tomorrow.
Why? Because Every Story Deserves a New Chapter
"I've been through the storm of domestic violence, and I know how it feels to be afraid, lost, and alone. I didn't want my daughter to grow up thinking that what was happening was normal. With the help of an amazing support system, I found a way out for myself, my daughter, and our little pooch. Now, I want to be that guiding light for others and show them that there's life, beauty, and joy beyond the darkness.
That's why every product from Imagine with Grace is made with love and a purpose. With every purchase, you're not just getting a candle or a gift; you're supporting a cause and contributing to our vision. I would be so happy if you joined me on this journey. Together, with your support, we're not just illuminating spaces; we're illuminating lives."
