The Story Behind the Flame
Before Time & Grace™️ was a brand, it was a lifeline.
My name is Desiree Nixon, and Time & Grace™️ was born out of survival.
Not the kind that looks polished or perfect — the kind that’s raw and real.
The kind that requires you to rebuild, even when you're still bleeding.
After years in an environment that dimmed my light, I had to start over.
Not just my life — but my sense of self. I didn’t know what healing would look like. I just knew I needed it.
So I started with what I had.
Waxes, wicks, and the quiet moments in between.
Pouring candles became a ritual — something grounding to hold onto. Something sacred.
And then it became something more.
Because if I needed this kind of grace, I knew others did too.
Time & Grace™️ is for anyone who’s ever had to start over.
For those holding grief and growth in the same breath.
For those rebuilding their identity, their peace, their power.
This isn’t just about candles.
It’s about reclaiming your space. Your energy. Your time.
And offering yourself the grace to be exactly where you are.
Each product I create is poured with the same care I once gave myself when I was learning how to keep going.
Now, I pass that light to you — no matter who you are, where you’ve been, or what you’re carrying.
Because everyone deserves to feel at home within themselves.
To reconnect. To soften. To begin again.
