About
Hi, I’m Yolanda, the proud founder of Ylanda,
2024 was a year of personal challenges for me. Like many, I found myself overwhelmed and struggling to prioritize myself. In the midst of it all, I lost touch with the importance of self-care and balance.
As someone who has always turned to art for peace, I realized I needed to reconnect with my creative side.
Candles have always held a special place in my heart. There’s something about the warm glow and soothing fragrance that instantly helps me find calm. During that difficult time, I asked myself, “Why not create this peace for myself?” And so, my journey into candle-making began. After a bit of Googling, I found someone offering candle-pouring lessons, and I dove in, learning everything I could.
I fell in love with the process—pouring candles and creating small pieces of art became my daily ritual.
It gave me a sense of purpose and tranquility that I hadn’t experienced in a long time. The simple act of lighting a candle became more than just ambiance—it became a reminder to pause, breathe, and take care of my well-being.
Through this experience, I learned an invaluable lesson: nothing is more important than our health and peace of mind. I created YLANDA to share that same sense of calm and peace with others.
I hope that when you light one of our candles, you’ll create your own oasis of relaxation and well-being, just as I did.
Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. I’m so excited to share these little moments of peace with you.

From sourcing eco-friendly materials to our sustainable production methods, we ensure that every step respects the environment. Our candles, trays, and reed diffusers are free from harmful toxins, making them safe for your home, your loved ones, and the planet. We believe that luxury and sustainability should go hand in hand, and that’s why every product we create reflects our deep commitment to both.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
At YLANDA, we believe that taking care of our planet is just as important as taking care of ourselves. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Click A Tree to make a lasting impact with every sale of our scented candles. For each candle purchased, we plant 6 trees, contributing to reforestation and environmental protection efforts.
Our current focus is in Ghana, where we not only plant over 60 different species of trees but also support two local entrepreneurial schools. These schools are more than just educational centers—they provide unemployed young people with valuable skills, giving them the tools they need to create brighter futures for themselves and their communities. By teaching entrepreneurship and sustainability, these programs help pave the way for long-term social and economic growth.
When you buy one of our candles, you’re not only filling your home with beautiful, calming scents, but you’re also making a meaningful contribution to global reforestation and social sustainability. Together, we’re helping to build a greener, more equitable world, one tree and one candle at a time.
Thank you for being part of our mission!
Our Commitment to Mental Health
We believe that well-being goes beyond the products we create. That’s why we’ve joined Pro Mente Sana by making regular donations to support their vital work in helping individuals affected by depression and mental illness. Mental health is a cause close to our hearts, and through this partnership, we aim to contribute to a world where everyone has access to the care and support they need.
By supporting YLANDA, you’re also helping to make a positive impact in the lives of those facing mental health challenges. Together, we can raise more awareness, more support, and more opportunities for healing.
