Welcome to the home of the conscious curator

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to stop by this page today. With so much content to be explored I am honored you choose to spend some time here. I would like to introduce myself, my name is Ellyn Hernandez I am the founder and creator of both Casa Valentina Candles + Her.Skin Therapy. I began my journey creating Casa Valentina Candles as a hobby to get myself out of a slump, to be honest I was extremely sad and you could say I was going through it. Ive always love creating, arts and crafts are my jam. So I decided to pick up a hobby let me tell you I wanted to give up so many times. A hobby should be fun I would say not challenging. But it was in between the challenges that I noticed myself grow and become more and more proud of my small accomplishments. I have always loved candles but I would get extremely nauseas and literally sick to my stomach with the conventional brand name candles. They were making me sick! After doing a ton of research I decided I would formulate and research and create the cleanest form of a candle. Free of all those fillers and parabens free of harmful fragrances that would make my stomach turn after only a few hours. That’s when Casa Valentina Candles was born. Named after my mom who is my favorite person in the whole wide world. See she is born on Valentine’s Day and she will forever be my Valentine. Casa Valentina Candles is named and curated after a wonderful soul who influence the world with her elegance and soft touch. I hope to share a piece of that with the world. Truly a luxurious candle with the finest and purest ingredients infused with elegant fragrances. Now, you may be wondering how Her.Skin Therapy is a part of all this. Well Her.Skin Therapy is my second born child as I like to call her. I have captured the Essenes of natural and together created a beautiful Sanctuary to help heal your Skin, and nourish your mind, body and spirit. A botanical infused Skin Care practice incorporating my 12 years of Pharmacy experience. You see before all this I a became a Certified Compounding Pharmacy Technicain. I currently work in a hospital setting and have a vast variety of experience when it comes to compounding, mixing and cocktailing ingredients its one of my nature gifts and I believe we all have a few. As a kid I use to love to make “potions” with herbs and flowers I would collect around my moms garden. And now I’m really excited to continue to explore that passion for botanical and make clean and effective “potions” as little Ellyn would call them. I truly hope you enjoy your time here and explore the fruits of my labor. As the famous monk says “Our life is a creation of our mind”. Welcome beautiful thoughts in your mind plant the seeds you want to reap tomorrow. You see you are not your circumstances but rather how you choose to react and who you choose to BE today. I wish you all love and abundance. 

Sincerely,

Ellyn Hernandez
