Candles smell of success

Jackie Singh's Ahwatukee Foothills home is a feast for the senses.

Depending on the day, the sweet fragrance of cinnamon vanilla, lilac, strawberry kiwi or pomegranate wafts from burning candles. Dozens more of the popular Gold Canyon candles are lined neatly along shelves in her converted garage office waiting for customers.

Singh, a former preschool teacher, began selling Gold Canyon candles nearly nine years ago. advertisement

"At the time, my husband was working in an old adobe-type building that smelled old and musty. I was constantly buying candles to cover the smell."
