Local Mom Highlight – Wendy Dicks

Wendy Dicks 

Born and raised in Jupiter, FL

I still live in Jupiter, FL. I love the small town feel of Jupiter, the beach, my family still lives here which is very important to me! 

I have two kids, Mackenzie 2 1/2 and James just turned 1. My daughter is the light that gave me the courage to open my shop, I wanted something to share with her. My son was a little bit of a surprise but he was there kicking me along the entire way, literally in my belly growing. About a year ago I opened Lighthouse Candle & Scent Bar, a scent crafting studio where you can make candles, bath bombs, reed diffusers and more!  

I started Lighthouse Candle because there was nothing like it in our area and I loved the concept. I have always been a craft, DIY, hands-on person and big candle lover, so I took a big leap of faith. I wanted to bring something new and fun to my hometown Jupiter. Scents/smells are very special to people and I love giving people the opportunity to create their own!

Best parenting advice is not to sweat the small stuff and YOU ARE DOING AMAZING. As
