F.L.Y. Girl Candles

"I am Dierdre Barnes, owner of Louisville-based F.L.Y. Girl Candles. We craft chic, hand-poured soy wax candles designed to enhance living spaces and self-care routines.

Inspired by my personal self-love journey and a desire for entrepreneurial independence, I began candle making in 2019. Our brand name, F.L.Y., stands for “First Love Yourself,” a mantra reflected in our eco-friendly, sustainable products that ensure a clean, slow burn. Every candle is thoughtfully named to inspire the same therapeutic joy and self-care that sparked this business."
