Our Story,
Meet our founder,
Melissa Carr
Hello, Nice to meet you! My name is Melissa. ​​
I've always believed that the spaces we create have the power to shape how we feel. Throughout my career in retail, fashion, and design, I've been passionate about creating beautiful experiences that inspire people.​
That passion eventually led me to meditation, crystals, and the philosophy of meliorism, the belief that the world can become better through our everyday choices. Evil Eye Sanctuary was born from that journey.​
Today, every candle, room spray, and thoughtfully curated piece is created to help you slow down, protect your energy, and make your home feel like a sanctuary.
Beyond the Brand ​​
-
I'm a fashion professor by day and a candle maker by night.
-
I truly believe that the way your home smells can change the way you feel.
-
My mornings begin with meditation and intention before I start creating.
-
I can spend hours rearranging a room until it feels just right.
-
I've never met an antique shop, flea market, or home décor store I didn't want to explore.
-
I have a soft spot for crystals, symbols, and the stories they carry.
-
I've met Keanu Reeves twice... and yes, he's every bit as kind as you'd hope.
-
I can usually guess someone's zodiac sign after one conversation.
-
My favorite way to end the day is with a candle burning, a cup of tea, and a little gratitude.
Story
What began as a personal search for peace became a passion for creating products that help others find it, too. Through meditation, crystals, and intentional living, I discovered meliorism, the belief that the world becomes better through the choices we make every day. That belief inspired Evil Eye Sanctuary, where I handcraft luxury soy candles, room sprays, and meaningful home décor designed to bring calm, positive energy, and beauty into your home.
Products
Every Evil Eye Sanctuary candle is hand-poured in small batches using 100% natural American soy wax and clean, high-quality fragrance oils for a beautiful, long-lasting burn. Our collection also includes luxury room sprays, crystals, and spiritual home décor that transform everyday spaces into peaceful sanctuaries.
Community
Evil Eye Sanctuary is more than a candle company. It's a community built around intentional living, self-care, and creating peaceful spaces. Whether you're lighting a candle after a long day or refreshing your home with one of our room sprays, we're honored to be part of your daily rituals.​
Sustainablity
We believe beautiful products should also be thoughtful. That's why we use natural soy wax, reusable candle vessels, and continue to seek more sustainable materials whenever possible. Reuse or return your candle jars to receive savings on your next purchase.
