About nellamoon
At nellamoon, our mission is to serve the greater good through artisan candles that embody the bright light that shines within us all. To us, candle making has become something very personal and close to our hearts. After I lost my mom I wanted to do something that would bring tribute to how she lived her life with such grace, love and kindness. Each time you light your candle, we hope it serves as a symbol to shine your light and live your best life!
We are committed to using business as a force for good and we proudly donate a portion of our profits to charities that help make the world a more loving and brighter place.

Arielle St. Pé
Hey love! Here's a little about me! I was born in Baton Rouge, LA and spent the majority of my childhood being raised in Mississippi. I grew up picking blueberries, riding horses and running barefoot in the grass. I remember my Mom telling me that as a little girl I would change out my earrings + clothes a few times a day and dance around in my outfits. Things haven’t changed much. With a passion for fashion, I received my degree in Apparel, Textiles and Merchandising and a minor in Business from Mississippi State University. I also spent a year studying the Fashion Design program at the University of Rhode Island where I lived amongst 40 international students from all around the world. Blending amongst the different cultures my eyes began to open to new styles and ways of living my best life. In college I spent my free time making clothes, creating jewelry to sell at local stores and styling outfits for friends and family. After two summers interning with Ralph Lauren’s creative fashion styling team in New York City, I decided it was time to make my way back to my roots down south. I moved to Nashville, TN in 2011 and began pursuing a career in the fashion + entrepreneurial industry. My love for all things creative, fashion, health and wellness + artisan candle making led to the start of my business, nellamoon, in 2012. Nell is my childhood nickname and Moon is a symbol to honor my late Mama. Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope our candles bring a little extra love and joy into your life! :)
