"You do whatever you can about the misery that's in front of you.
Add your light to the sum of light."
~Billy Kwan, The Year of Living Dangerously
Our mission
Add Your Light Studio was started as a way to help animals.
We are committed to using 30% of our profits to support animal rescue.
Made in Southern California, our candles are created with our own blend of coconut and soy waxes, lead-free cotton wicks, and premium, perfume-grade fragrance oils infused with essential oils.
Our candles are vegan, cruelty-free, and phthalate and paraben free, for an eco-friendly, non-toxic, clean burn.

Introducng...
Dark and Stormy Night
A candle that sets the mood... Filled with expectations of what's to come, the mysterious energy before the storm.
With essential oils of eucalyptus and pine, and notes of freesia, ozone, and crisp linen, this clean and airy scent adds a provocative atmosphere to any space.
Luna's Candle
Slightly Askew
Smells like what a sunrise or sunset feels like: warm and glowing, with bright notes of bergamot and night-blooming gardenia warmed with amber and vanilla.
A special candle for a special pup who suffered a severely fractured skull at just 7 weeks old.
Luna proved the odds makers wrong and is now a year old and 55 pounds, but she still has some medical issues to work through.
100% of sales will go to Luna's Medical Fund.
Our new partnership
Introducing caraaf
We're thrilled to offer this beautiful candle that smells like spring and looks beautiful in any decor. Your purchase will help support Caraaf, The Cowboy and Rosseau Animal Assistance Fund, a non-profit organization that offers hope and healing for rescue dogs with medical needs by providing financial assistance to the humans who love them.
The Ladybugs Candle
Our nickname for our little blind beagle girls, Maria and Mini, ladybugs are said to bring good luck. Our little ladybug girls certainly have brought us good luck and changed our lives, making all the days and nights better.
This might just become your favorite vanilla-y candle: a complex fragrance with notes of wood and smoke, lavender and musk.
Candle of the Month Club
Thanksgiving - November
You know how real estate agents bake cookies right before they have an open house so the house smells like "welcome home"? This is like that.
Think buttery roasted pecans you've tossed with bourbon and creamy vanilla. You're roasting them slowly in the oven when guests arrive and your house smells like what The Barefoot Contessa's smells like for the entire holiday season.
You're a domestic goddess but all you did was light a candle. You're welcome.
Scent Notes
Top: buttery maple
Middle: spiced pecans
Base: bourbon, cream, vanilla
Our model is Zoey, who is happy and grateful every day!
