We are Joe and Ria, serial hobbypreneurs. We met as co-vendors in the wedding industry, married, and eventually stepped back from the wedding industry. We discovered that not only do we love working for ourselves, but we also love discovering new skills through creative projects. This has encompassed anything from transforming a piece of curbside furniture into a new life, to home improvement projects, to tooling & stitching leather, to pouring beeswax candles, to building an off-grid camp etc. My (Ria’s) love for working with natural materials was first instilled in me by my mom who makes our goat milk soap. She taught me the importance of creating a product that focuses on purity and nourishment, the concept of which I have applied to our beeswax candles. We love offering a quality product that you as the consumer can purchase with confidence. You can follow along on our projects via our YouTube channel: @hyhermitagediy.
