For what itβs worth - sent this to my wife who buys a lot of candles and is used to looking at ounces to understand size/burn time etc across brands and that info is missing. We bought a sampler though!

@shloky I apologize! I include the burn time in each listing, but not the ounces (I will add this info going forward)
Regular size is 8oz, mini is 4oz π€
Hi Dianna, I've been watching your journey unfold on Twitter and am thrilled to see you launch here. Congrats! You've created a beautiful brand experience and what look to be really clever scent pairings. As a fan of scented candles I'm excited by the oceanic breeze and can't wait to try out the watermint + clementine.
@ejsnowdon I appreciate that you've been following along, Emily! The past 7 months, since starting, has honestly flown by so quickly and it's been an incredible journey to get here. I'm excited for you to try them also!
Congratulations! I've been watching your journey on twitter, it's amazing to see how far you've come. Looking forward to seeing you hit even more milestones!
Congrats Dianna! Was kind of waiting for this launch! How did you settle on soy? Also what got you into making candles?
@aaronoleary There's a few reasons why I went with soy; it has a long burn time, I love the look of it, it's grown locally in my region of the states, and it doesn't emit toxins into the air as it burns π
As far was getting into making candles, this was something I wanted to try since maybe... 2014? I just never had the time, or was too hesitant... so when I came home this past November, I was just like I'm not making this mistake again! I'm making candles! haha
And I wanted to make candles just out of curiosity if I would enjoy it, and I really do. It's been so fun ever since π₯°
Huge congrats on the launch, Dianna! I remember seeing that initial tweet and I couldn't even imagine the success that will come form the hard work you put into this. Great job!
@zyumbik Thanks, Gleb! I'm excited to see where TERRA goes in 1 year... 2 years... :D
@juliegauthier2 Thank you for sharing, I'm so happy you managed to get your hands on one!
Congrats on another launch! Excited to try these out. Clementine and watermint sounds sooo dreamy β¨
Terra candles are clearly made with love and care. The scents smell natural and sophisticated, they burn for a long time, and the candles themselves are beautiful! And she pours them by hand; it just feels special to have handmade things in your home.
Pro Tip: burn her candles if you own a storefront: I lit her candles while selling my furniture before a move and I swear the upscale atmosphere they created helped me sell out of everything I owned in just 5 days!
@taskett I LOVE YOUR SELLING HACK! This is so true! Aromatherapy is real and I honestly think it can affect decisions, mood, etc. Thank you, Madison! Always grateful to have your support!
Hi! I'm Dianna, the founder of TERRA.
I honestly just wanted to make some candles one day and have an eco-friendly brand that represented them!
I wrote a tweet early on about wanting to start a candle business, but with only having $100 to do so. The tweet sparked a lot of interest, and since then, TERRA's growth has exploded.

@diannamallen "I honestly just wanted to make some candles one day and have an eco-friendly brand that represented them!"
To me this is the best reason to do just about anything. Love it! β€
@jamesivings thank you, James! Still so happy to use the term 'chandler' when I can π
@diannamallen I LOVE that you started this from $100! So proud of you and I can't wait until we can get one of your candles because they sound incredible!
@dinkydani21 So happy to have your support! And I swear the next time we cross paths I'm just going to unleash all the candles on you π
@imkristaaoki Thank you so much, Krista! I love that you've been watching it all π
@rk212 thank you so much, Rina! It's been such a process getting my aesthetic together and I think I've found it perfectly!
You have been such an inspiration to me, from your budget friendly meals newsletters to Terra!
I am finally launching my eCommerce business in Canada soon, you made me consider the idea and it has been exciting to follow your progress, get inspired and read everything you are sharing!
Love from Canada
