Welcome to South x Midwest, Illuminating the journey to your higher path by blending Southern Hospitality and a Midwestern Work Ethic!

Welcome to South x Midwest, where I believe the journey of life is a winding path, and finding your Divine Purpose to serve others is only the beginning. As the founder, I'm a black woman from Kansas City, Missouri who moved to Austin, Texas to start anew. In my journey, I battled depression and anxiety but found solace in my passion for candle making.

Through South x Midwest, my mission is to bring the warmth of southern hospitality and the hardworking midwestern spirit to your home through handcrafted candles. I source only the best natural and sustainable ingredients and use hand-poured techniques and premium fragrances. Every candle undergoes rigorous testing to ensure the highest quality, so you can enjoy even burning and strong throws, safely.

I believe that candles can create a peaceful and comforting environment that promotes wellness and self-care. I’m also passionate about making a difference in the world and believe that everyone has a Divine Purpose to fulfill. As my father, a preacher and chaplain, once said, "Either you just went through something, are going through something, or you’re fixin to go through something soon." That's why at South x Midwest, we want to be there for you, no matter where you are on your journey.

Light up your life and let SxM be a part of your journey, whether you're celebrating or going through a tough time. South x Midwest - pronounced South by Midwest - candles that illuminate the journey along your higher path.
