The Face Behind Coastal Living Co

Founder Nicole has a passion for colour, decor and self-care, and is inspired every day by the coastal lifestyle she enjoys.

Living in the Southern Sydney beachside suburb of Cronulla, Nicole is an avid traveller who is constantly energised and inspired by her travels, to recreate those sensations at home.

Particularly in these difficult times, more and more people are enjoying reliving happy occasions through one of the strongest memory senses, the sense of smell. Whether you’ve travelled to a particular destination, or you’re just dreaming of doing so, Nicole’s candles will take you there.

Each of her signature scents is inspired by places and events she’s experienced, and she loves to share them with others.
Nicole started making candles as a way to make a little extra pocket money while also having plenty of time to spend with her two children. Soon the candles proved so popular that it became a thriving business. She has expanded her initial range from twelve simple candle fragrances, to various sizes and styles, as well as diffusers, soaps and a skin care range.
She is now sending her products around Australia, to a dedicated group of customers. She also refills her jars once they’ve been used, as she has a strong recycling ethic. She now has a steady stream of emptied jars arriving to be refilled with her gorgeous signature scented waxes.

The business gives Nicole the freedom to work her own hours, continue to travel often, and be available to her growing children. Keep an eye on the website, because she has lots of plans for future expansion!
